Love can make us feel both intensely human and utterly broken when it ends. This haunting track explores the aftermath of a relationship where one person has emotionally checked out while the other is still deeply invested. The narrator desperately tries to hold onto physical intimacy as a last connection to their humanity and the relationship, but their partner's emotional distance creates an unbearable weight. The repeated imagery of weight in trees and leaves symbolizes the natural yet painful process of things falling apart. The song captures that devastating moment when you realize someone who meant everything to you is treating your shared history as insignificant. The contrast between soft, intimate touches and the heavy emotional burden makes this an achingly relatable portrayal of one-sided love and the struggle to process its end.
Skin
Lyrics
Soft skin you touch me within
And so I know I can be human once again
I know you're faced with something
That could consume you completely
Soft skin you touch me once again
And somehow it stings 'cause I know it is the end
I hate that you're leaving
So why don't you talk to me?
You act like nothing ever happened
But it meant the world to me
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight in the trees
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight of the leaves
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my heart
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on the heart
And you can't, and you can't
(These are our)
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight of the leaves
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my heart
And you can't, and you can't (these are our falling secrets)
See the weight on my heart
And you can't
See the weight in the trees
Soft skin
I'll have you be near my heart
Until I feel human
Soft skin, oh
You were never in love to begin with
So now I'm suffering
Oh you can't, and you can't
See the weight in the trees
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight of the leaves
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my heart
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my heart
And you can't, and you can't
(These are our) See the weight in the trees
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight of the leaves
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my heart
(These are our falling secrets)
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight in the trees
And you can't, and you can't
And you can't, and you can't (these are our)
See the weight of the leaves
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my heart
(These are our falling secrets)
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my heart (these are our falling secrets)
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my leaves (these are our falling secrets)
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my heart (these are our falling secrets)
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight on my heart (these are our falling secrets)
(These are our)
(These are our)
Soft skin you touch me within
So I know I can be human once again
I know you're faced with something
That could consume you completely
Soft skin, you touch me once again
And somehow it stings 'cause I know it is the end
I hate that you're leaving
So why don't you talk to me?
You act like nothing ever happened
But it meant the world to me
