I Am Your Skin
Becoming One: I Am Your Skin
Lyrics
And you know me now
Expressing a sense of familiarity and understanding.
Like a mother knows a child
Comparing the level of knowing to a mother-child relationship, emphasizing intimacy.
And you know me now
Reiterating the deep knowledge and connection between individuals.
Like I came from your own body
Suggesting a closeness as if the speaker is an integral part of the listener's being.
I can feel your pulse like a moth inside a jar
Using a metaphor to convey a heightened awareness, feeling the other person's pulse.
And even this is still too far
Expressing a sense of inadequacy, as if the closeness is not close enough.
Even this is still too far
Repeating the idea that the current level of intimacy is insufficient.
I wanna be your skin
Expressing a desire to become an integral part of the other person's existence.
I wanna feel everything you feel
Desiring to share and experience the emotions and sensations of the other person.
I wanna be your covering
Expressing a wish to provide protection and closeness.
So let them come like an army against us
Anticipating challenges together and facing them as a united front.
I know you won't be afraid
Confidence in the other person's courage and strength.
Because I am the armor upon you now
Declaring the speaker as a protective shield for the other person.
And we are never betrayed
Assurance that trust is unbroken and loyalty is unwavering.
There is no ending between you and me
Asserting an everlasting connection between the individuals.
I wanna be your skin
Reiterating the desire to be intimately connected on a profound level.
I wanna feel everything you feel
Repeating the wish to share and understand the other person's emotions.
I wanna be your covering
Emphasizing the desire to provide protection and support.
And I will hide you inside of me
Visualizing a sense of envelopment and unity, hiding the other person within the speaker.
With every breath in harmony
Describing a harmonious and synchronized existence.
I wanna be your skin
Reiterating the wish to be an inseparable part of the other person.
I wanna be your covering.
Affirming the desire to be a protective and encompassing presence.
