Your Skin
Intimate Connection: Reveling in Sensory Grace
Lyrics
Deep, midnight blue
Describing a profound, dark shade of blue, possibly symbolizing depth or mystery.
I implore you, I explore you
Expressing a strong desire to understand and know the person being addressed.
As I lie awake, I can hardly take my eyes off you
Being unable to look away from the person while lying awake, suggesting admiration or fascination.
Too tired to move
Feeling physically exhausted and unable to move.
The day draws to a close
Describing the end of the day.
I got nowhere to be
Feeling aimless with no specific place to go.
My head rests on your knees
Resting one's head on the knees of the addressed person.
My words move carefully
Choosing words carefully, possibly to avoid causing harm or misunderstanding.
Like they're dragging their feet
Words being hesitant or slow, as if reluctant.
My head heavy
Feeling mentally burdened or weighed down.
With thought
The weight of deep thoughts.
And the light when it's right
Describing the effect of light on the person's skin.
Smooths your skin
The smoothing effect of light on the skin, possibly metaphorical for comfort.
And it feels to me
Expressing a personal emotional connection to the observed skin.
Like the most intimate thing
Highlighting the profound intimacy felt in observing the person's skin.
Thing
Repetition for emphasis, possibly underscoring the depth of the connection.
Your skin, your skin
Repetition, emphasizing the significance of the addressed person's skin.
Your skin
Reiteration of the focus on the person's skin.
Sweet reprieve
Suggesting the person's skin provides a comforting escape.
Come rescue me
Invoking a plea for comfort or relief.
Sweet reprieve
Repetition, intensifying the plea for comfort.
Come rescue me
Reiteration of the plea for rescue.
And of this situation
Acknowledging a challenging situation with no easy way out.
There's no escaping
Stating that escaping this situation is inevitable.
Unscathed
Highlighting that escaping won't be without consequences.
So when it pulls you in close
Advising to surrender control when drawn close, possibly to find solace.
Relinquish all control
Encouraging letting go of control in close situations.
To put a description
Suggesting that words can't adequately describe the situation.
It wouldn't fit anywhere
Indicating the inadequacy of language to capture the complexity of feelings.
Tangled in a mess of words of my own creation
Being entangled in self-created confusion through words.
And the light when it's right
Reiteration of the effect of light on the person's skin.
Smooths your skin
Re-emphasizing the smoothing effect of light on the skin.
And it feels to me
Repeating the profound intimacy felt in observing the person's skin.
Like the most intimate thing
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing the depth of the connection.
Thing
Reiteration of the significance of the addressed person's skin.
Your skin, your skin
Repetition, underscoring the intensity of the connection.
Your skin
Final reiteration, emphasizing the lasting impact of the addressed person's skin.
