Skin Deep

I think it speaks to friendship and how some friendships are just skin deep. You have to make sure you know which ones are only skin deep so you know who you can rely on in time of crisis.

I always thought, as a kid that they were singing "better watch out for the skindee"... Wtf a skindee is i'll never know... but that's what I thought..

I think this is a very profound song. We all suffer disappointment sometime in life when we find we're let down by someone we thought we could trust.

To me, this song is a caution, but at the same it's quite optimistic - recognises that sometimes we'll all feel low, sometimes we all need other people and human companionship, and that's good - just be careful that the friends and people we draw close to us are genuine.

Watch out for the shallow, superficial so-called sophisticates trying to monopolize your valuable time. Stand up to the machine, don,t let it roll over you.

The lyrics are not quite right. These are the correct lyrics:

Many people tell you that they're your friend You believe them You need them For what's round the river bend Make sure that you're receiving the signals they send Cos brother, you've only got two hands to lend

Maybe there's someone who makes you weep And some nights loom up ahead When you're asleep Some days, there's things on your mind you should keep Sometimes, it's tougher to look than to leap

Better watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep (Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep (Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep

One day the track that you're climbing gets steep Your emotions are frayed And your nerves starting to creep Just remember the day's As long as the time that you keep Brother, you better watch out for the skin deep

Better watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep (Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep (Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep

(Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep (Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep

I thought he was saying better watch out for the scooby. I wasn't even close

I always thought it was “better watch out for the schoolys (school-ease)”

This song is aimed at Morrissey because he wrote Meat Is Murder

I just came here because I thought he sang: \'Better watch out for the Scooby\

The song’s lyrics are about narcissistic abuse. Narcissists are incapable of love in the way that empathetic people love. Empaths love deeply. Narcissists are incapable of real love. Their empathy is cognitive acting, not real from any depth in emotion. They fool empaths. Narcissists have a false and fake self. Their mask falls off like the skin of a snake. This song contains the best advice ever. Listen and beware of people who repeatedly lie…trust your gut instinct and intuition..and never absorb lies. True friends will always want the best for the best part of you. Negative people attack truth. Understand empathy is not toxic. Sympathy is not empathy. Sympathy without empathy is toxic.
