Save My Skin
Renewal of the Soul: Unveiling Tenderness and Overcoming Temptation
Lyrics
i'll find a way to save my skin
I will find a way to protect myself.
that precious way it holds me in
Describing a valuable method that provides comfort and security.
reminds you of holy days you once believed in
Elicits memories of sacred times once believed in.
please don't stop
Plea to continue without hindrance.
there's something new
Something novel or different is emerging.
stirring up the elements under the surface
A metaphorical stirring beneath the surface of emotions or experiences.
the first thing i want to do
Expresses a desire or priority.
is to overcome my temperament
Intent on overcoming one's natural disposition or character.
let the arrow find its purpose
Aspiration for clarity or purpose, likened to an arrow finding its target.
there is the eloquence
Recognition of articulate expression.
and there is the difference
Highlighting a distinction or gap.
between what is said
Contrast between spoken words and unspoken thoughts.
and what is never said
Emphasizing the importance of unspoken words.
the first thing i want to do
Reiteration of a desire or priority.
is to champion the tenderness i once believed in
To advocate for the delicate feelings once believed in.
please don't stop
A plea for continuity or perseverance.
tried to be a materialist
Attempted to adopt a materialistic viewpoint.
'til i was treated like simple flesh
Felt devalued or objectified.
tried to mention all my sins
Attempted to confess or acknowledge wrongdoings.
but i didn't know where to begin
Uncertainty or hesitation about where to start addressing one's sins.
should i forget them?
Contemplating whether to forget past mistakes.
or should i let them begin again?
Considering the possibility of allowing past mistakes to recur.
