Dead Skin
Renewed Growth: Unveiling the Layers of 'Dead Skin'
Lyrics
All of the muscles you used have no memory
All physical efforts made have no lasting impact or significance.
Of time spent twisting yourself around me
No recollection in the muscles of the time spent intimately entwined.
And they could use a reminder
A suggestion that a reminder is needed for those muscles.
I've been waiting so many months with
Extended waiting with a deceptive touch, like the mythical Midas but fake.
A false Midas, a pyrite touch
Comparing a touch to fool's gold and the ability to change without apparent cause.
And you melt gold without fire
Capable of transforming valuable things without traditional means.
Leave your mark you've done it before
Leaving a lasting impression as done previously.
Reunion of your clothes and my floor
Symbolic reunion of personal items and intimate encounters.
I've been through the city it's all closing door
Experiencing closure in the city, but a personal connection remains open.
But you've still got the key to mine and more
The person still holds the key to the speaker's heart and more.
Because everywhere we touched is dead skin by now
Everywhere the relationship touched has become lifeless and devoid of vitality.
The further we get, the more on the ground, oh
As they progress, the connection becomes more grounded and less elevated.
But I'm feeling so renewed
Despite the metaphorical dead skin, the speaker feels revitalized.
Like I grew me all for you
Expressing personal growth and renewal for the sake of the other person.
All of the time wasted way playing old memories
Time spent on nostalgic memories seems wasted and transient.
Of pleasure that was so temporary
Past pleasures were short-lived and not enduring.
I think our screen needs more story
A desire for a deeper, more meaningful narrative in their relationship.
You've been taking all of the blows from
Enduring the impacts of a harsh support that hinders personal growth.
A cruel crutch that won't let you grow
The impediment prevents personal development, but there's a chance for change.
Yeah we could leave them all sorry
Leaving behind those who caused harm or regret.
Leave your mark you've done it before
Reiterating the lasting impact of a previous encounter.
Reunion of your clothes and my floor
Symbolic reunion of personal items and intimate encounters (repeated).
I've been through the city it's all closing door
Experiencing closure in the city, but a personal connection remains open (repeated).
But you've still got the key to mine and more
The person still holds the key to the speaker's heart and more (repeated).
Because everywhere we touched is dead skin by now
Reiteration that every touched aspect of the relationship has lost vitality.
The further we get, the more on the ground, oh
As they progress, the connection becomes more grounded and less elevated (repeated).
But I'm feeling so renewed
Despite the metaphorical dead skin, the speaker feels revitalized (repeated).
Like I grew me all for you
Expressing personal growth and renewal for the sake of the other person (repeated).
