Skeleton Song Lyrics

Cover art for Skeleton Song lyrics by Kate Nash

i dont know. maybe i am just trying to relate to it but to me it seems like it might be about an eating disorder. like people notice strange eating habits and think you are strange because of it. then people find out for sure that its an eating disorder and it puts her in an "awkward situation" and she needs an explaination. she doesnt want to let go of the eating disorder but she doesnt really see a way out right then. at night is usually the hardest times for people with eating disorders, like when most binge and such so that is kind of the dream part to me. and then in the end she is just like she will not let go because it seems like such a part of her and such a comfort for her.

but thats just what i get.

That's definitely what I got from it. Like when people notice her becoming thin she draws "unwanted attention," but she doesnt want to do anything to recover. Except during those little bursts of binges or times when she is just too exhausted and wants to be normal (when she is smashing the skeleton).
