Skin Lyrics

Cover art for Skin lyrics by Zola Jesus

This is the way I see the meaning of the song.

“ Safety net don’t hold me now In this hole I’ve fallen down Secret home I’ve made and found A new way to breath “ ————————————————— When you’re so deep down in your depression and sadness that you can’t see anything else than darkness. You build up this “ home “ and your depression makes you feel like you don’t even wanna try to get better so you find some kind of peace to it all.

“ Skin come off Skin come off I’ve had enough Skin come off “ ————————————————— You want to get better but your so tired right now, you can’t do this anymore. you’re tired of feel this way so you just want to leave your skin ( suicide )

“ And in the sickness you have faith And in the thickness you’ll found me Finally “ ————————————————— At this point you’ve given up. The only thing you think about is your depression and anxiety, it’s all dark now. You’ll find me in this darkness that I’m stuck in

“ In the city you find pain And the people you see there That reminds you of your own Let it go “ ————————————————— Even though there’s people around you, you still feel alone. It feels like no one will ever understand. They just reminds you of how lonely you are.
