Second Skin Lyrics

I've thought about it a million times before it takes all my strength just to keep it calm i love to tell myself,just let it breath holding it inside will only help to keep me in each time i close my eyes i see another chain it's one i cant forget,something i cannot break out of i need a second skin,something to hold me up cant seem to get out of this hole ive dug my self right back in just to wake up tells me i must be brave it hiits me like a drug shot into my veins its not as delightful of a pain,immobolizing me almost makes me think im dead i need a second skin something to hold me tough cant do it on my own i want that chance to give every drop thats left in me i need a second skin something i cannot break out of i tell myself just let it breath its a calmness im always searching for but the dirt it gets so heavy it falls above my head seeping from under my feet it just keeps on getting deeper i need a second skin sopmething to hold me tough cant do it on my own sometimes i need just a little more help ive got that chance to give every drop thats left in me i need a second skin something i cannot break free of though no one ever said i'd be easy still ones left to deny the choice that comes between your willingness to survive though your knowing what you stand up against a world set to decieve you need a special strength i've got that second skin i've got that chance to give i've got the only way that i know how to live with it i need a second skin something to hold me tough i need a second skin,something i cannot break out of

What is the Meaning of Second Skin?

Exploring themes of resilience and vulnerability, this song delves into the struggle of facing internal and external pressures. The lyrics reveal a desire for a "second skin"—a metaphorical layer of protection to navigate life's challenges. This "second skin" symbolizes strength and stability, something the narrator needs to endure hardship and overcome personal limitations. The repeated imagery of sinking deeper into a self-dug hole conveys feelings of entrapment and the overwhelming nature of mental or emotional burdens. Yet, there is also a sense of hope and determination, as the narrator expresses willingness to give every remaining effort to survive. The song ultimately highlights the duality of seeking external support while cultivating inner fortitude to face life's deceptions and trials. #Resilience #InnerStrength
