Lent Me His Skin
Transient Echoes: A Journey Through Borrowed Skin
Lyrics
There was someone I cared for
Expressing a connection with someone significant.
Slipped out into the universe
Describing the person's departure into the unknown.
He lent me his skin
Metaphorically borrowing the person's experiences and identity.
Just for a while
Temporary involvement or shared experiences.
Before he took it back
The person reclaimed their identity.
He looked at me and smiled
Recalling a moment of connection and happiness.
He ran with the wind
The person embraced freedom or change.
Never saw him again
Loss of contact or separation from the person.
Broken and bruised
Feeling emotionally and physically hurt.
To start over again
A commitment to rebuilding after challenges.
Here, I've been waiting for this moment
Anticipation for a revealing moment.
To finally uncover what happened
Desire to understand past events.
Do I really need to
Questioning the necessity of deception.
Deceive you and get revenge
Contemplating revenge for perceived wrongs.
Go through what I went through
Reluctance to undergo past struggles again.
All over again
Weighing the emotional burden of repetition.
Why am I so hung up on it?
Reflecting on the persistent emotional attachment.
He lent me his skin
Repeating the metaphor of borrowing identity.
Just for a while
Reiteration of temporary shared experiences.
Before he took it back
The person reclaimed their identity once more.
He looked at me and smiled
Recollection of a shared moment and happiness.
He ran with the wind
The person embraced freedom or change again.
Never saw him again
Continuation of the theme of separation.
Broken and bruised to start over again
Describing the emotional and physical aftermath.
He lent me his skin
Repetition of the metaphor for emphasis.
Just for a while
Reiterating the transient nature of shared experiences.
Before he took it back
Reclamation of identity and departure.
He looked at me and smiled
Recalling a shared moment and positive expression.
He ran with the wind
Embracing freedom or change once more.
Never saw him again
Continued separation and loss.
Broken and bruised
Reiteration of emotional and physical distress.
To start over again
Commitment to starting anew despite difficulties.
