Description
This song is about more insecurities…yea! Body image, figuring out who you are, trying on all the many hats the world has to offer and then realizing that you never really figure any of THAT out, because you are always changing and growing and need to be able to resituate in your own skin. There is no real conclusion to this song, because there is no real conclusion to the questions posed in it. (For me anyway).
Lyrics
I’ve never been very comfortable In what I would call this skin I’ve always had the propensity To want to climb back in and start again I’ve been in the rain and tried to shrink I’ve used up my safety pins I’ve covered myself in plastic wrap With the help of a few good friends A tumble in the dryer didn’t seem to make amends And so I still don’t fit into this skin I crawled underneath so that I could see The deepest part of me that’s where I’ve been All I could find was an exit sign Telling me I’d lost my mind I’ve been in the rain and tried to shrink I’ve used up my safety pins I’ve covered myself in plastic wrap With the help of a few good friends A tumble in the dryer didn’t seem to make amends And so I still don’t fit into this skin I held my breath till I turned blue I even dropped a size or two Like some girls they will never do I thought I’d follow through I even got a make up crew To be the girl the stencil drew But now I realize that yes it’s true The problem is…
