Lyrics
I'm a man of many bones
I possess a complex identity with various aspects or qualities.
With secrets hard to keep
I have hidden information that is challenging to conceal.
Would you stay and watch as I
Would you stay and observe while I reveal my secrets unconsciously?
Tell them in my sleep
Suggesting a vulnerability where secrets may be involuntarily disclosed during sleep.
I'm your skeleton
Emphasizing the speaker's identity as a skeleton, a metaphorical representation of their inner self.
Skin me alive
An expression of intense vulnerability, asking to be exposed or laid bare.
Will this take all night
Questioning the duration of the process, possibly indicating a prolonged or arduous experience.
The crimson red in my head
Reference to intense emotions or thoughts, symbolized by the color red in the head.
It's alright now
Despite the intensity, the speaker reassures that everything is okay now.
I'm no use to anyone
Expressing a feeling of being unproductive or not beneficial to others.
That's why I'm alone
The reason for the speaker's solitude, emphasizing their perceived lack of value to others.
So I'll stay here and gather dust
Choosing to remain inactive and unnoticed, allowing oneself to be neglected.
While you sit on my throne
Symbolic imagery of someone else taking control or authority in the speaker's absence.
I'm your skeleton
Reiteration of the speaker's identity as a skeleton, reinforcing their inner nature.
Skin me alive
Repetition of the desire to be exposed or laid bare, emphasizing vulnerability.
Will this take all night
Reiterating the uncertainty about the duration of the exposure process.
The crimson red in my head
Recurrence of the intense emotions or thoughts represented by crimson red in the head.
It's alright now
Reassurance that despite the intensity, everything is now acceptable or manageable.
