Lyrics
Peel off that layer
Expressing the desire to uncover a concealed aspect of oneself
Off your pretty skin
Referring to the outer beauty or facade that is being asked to be removed
Tell me you're aching
Requesting honesty about emotional pain or distress
I see the trouble that you're in
Observing and acknowledging the difficulties the person is facing
I see the trouble that you're in
Reiteration of recognizing the challenges the person is going through
What a simple life
Commenting on the apparent simplicity of life
And how easy to fall out
Highlighting the ease of falling into problems or challenges
Letting go
Acknowledging the constant nature of letting go
Is the most constant thing
Emphasizing the inevitability of change and release
But it's not what you think
Challenging preconceived notions about the situation
Sing it oh oh oh
Encouraging vocal expression or communication
Oh oh oh ohhh
Repeating the encouraging vocalization
Peel off that layer, spare that empty grin
Repeating the call to reveal one's true emotions, cautioning against a fake smile
I see it's shaking
Observing the evident emotional turmoil
Oh the pain is gaining spin, now darling
Describing the intensification of emotional pain
It's a vicious cycle thing
Characterizing the recurring and harmful nature of the emotional cycle
Not a simple line
Contrasting the situation with simplicity, indicating complexity
I see you're running out
Noticing the person's effort to escape difficulties
But it's not what you think
Reiterating the idea that appearances can be deceiving
Sing it oh oh oh
Repeating the call for vocal expression, challenging assumptions
H oh oh ohhh
Repeating the encouraging vocalization
It's not what you think
Emphasizing the contrast between perception and reality
Sing it oh oh oh
Repeating the call for vocal expression, challenging assumptions
Oh oh oh ohhh
Repeating the encouraging vocalization
I'll never shut you out
Expressing a commitment to remain emotionally available
Invite me to your fire
Extending an invitation to share one's innermost feelings or struggles
Don't tell me you're not crying
Challenging the denial of emotional pain
Out of sight
Suggesting that emotions should not be hidden or suppressed
Sing it, oh oh oh
Repeating the call for vocal expression
Oh oh oh ohhh
Repeating the encouraging vocalization
Oh oh oh ohhh
-Oh oh oh ohhh
