Under My Skin
Emotional Depths Unveiled: Boys Of Fall's 'Under My Skin' Meaning
Lyrics
You are the only one that I let get under my skin.
You hold a significant place in my life, and I allow you to affect me deeply.
Cause' to feel you at all is better than feeling nothing.
Experiencing any connection with you is preferable to feeling numb or empty.
I've lost the only part of me, I ever felt was really honest.
I've lost the most genuine and truthful part of myself, which I believed was honest.
I'm lacking purpose.
I lack a sense of purpose or direction in my life.
So tense, so full of doubt.
I feel tense and filled with doubt.
Yet I know, it's finding its way out of my heart and to the surface.
Despite my inner turmoil, I acknowledge that my true emotions are surfacing.
You are the only one that I let get under my skin.
You remain the only person who can deeply influence and affect me.
Cause' to feel you at all is better than feeling nothing.
Any emotional connection with you is better than feeling nothing at all.
And I'm terrified that I've just lost everything.
I'm afraid that I may have lost everything that has kept me alive in the past few years.
In the past few years that has kept me breathing.
Whatever has sustained me emotionally in recent years, I fear it's now gone.
I just want the person that you promised me.
I desire the person you promised me, longing for fulfillment.
(Now I'm stuck) Now I'm stuck in the middle of hate and envy.
I find myself trapped in a conflict between hatred and envy.
Caused by the two hands that made me whole.
The hands that once completed me now cause conflict and turmoil.
But I can't get enough.
Despite the challenges, I can't resist the allure or attraction.
You are the only one that I let get under my skin.
You continue to be the only person who deeply affects me.
Cause' to feel you at all is better than feeling nothing.
Feeling any connection with you is preferable to feeling nothing.
And I'm terrified that I've just lost everything.
The fear of losing everything is overwhelming.
In the past few years that has kept me breathing.
Whatever has sustained me emotionally in recent years, I fear it's now gone.
Writing over and over. Again and again.
Repeatedly writing and going through the same experiences over and over.
It's always the same end.
Expecting the same disappointing outcome each time.
Maybe I was never enough.
Perhaps I was never sufficient or satisfactory.
Fought my way to shore.
Having struggled to overcome challenges, only to be thrown back into a similar situation.
Cast back out just like before.
Returning to a state of emptiness and uncertainty.
Empty spaces remain wide open.
There are voids and gaps left unfilled.
You don't get it, no you don't get it.
You fail to comprehend my struggles and emotions.
I hid it, trust me, I hid it.
I concealed my pain and emotions, and you failed to recognize them.
You are the only one that I let get under my skin.
You continue to be the only person who deeply affects me.
Cause' to feel you at all is better than feeling nothing.
Feeling any connection with you is preferable to feeling nothing.
And I'm terrified that I've just lost everything.
The fear of losing everything is overwhelming.
In the past few years that has kept me breathing.
Whatever has sustained me emotionally in recent years, I fear it's now gone.
Writing over and over. Again and again.
Repeatedly writing and going through the same experiences over and over.
It's always the same end.
Expecting the same disappointing outcome each time.
You are the only one that I let get under my skin.
You continue to be the only person who deeply affects me.
Cause' to feel you at all is better than feeling nothing.
Feeling any connection with you is preferable to feeling nothing.
