Grimes - Skin Lyrics






Soft skin
You touch me within and so I know I could 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
‘Cos 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 wind in the trees
And you can't and you can't see the wind in the leaves
And you can't and you can't see the weight in the dark
And you can't and you can't see the weight in the heart

Soft skin
I'll have you be near my heart,
Until I feel human
Soft skin
You were never a lie to begin with
So now I'm suffering

    Beautiful like ocean

    What an incredible talent ! And even today nobody in Europe knows who Grimes is (except as the girl friend of Elon Musk).
    Has nobody put the lyrics here yet ?

    Soft skin
    You touch me within and so I know I could 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
    ‘Cos 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 wind in the trees
    And you can't and you can't see the wind in the leaves
    And you can't and you can't see the weight in the dark
    And you can't and you can't see the weight in the heart

    Soft skin
    I'll have you be near my heart,
    Until I feel human
    Soft skin
    You were never a lie to begin with
    So now I'm suffering.

    In 2015 I was having a rough patch of a year and listened 👂 to this song 🎶. It was so strangely beautiful and shockingly provocative that I could feel 😂 joy, pain😭, anger😡 and fear 😱 all at the same time.

  14. L.... ....

    I heard this song yesterday May 18 2019 and I didn’t luv it at first and now may 19,2019 I can’t deal with how great this song it soothes my soul in a very comforting way despite how sad the song is 🔥

    Very spiritual I feel like I’m loosing my emotions to this

  26. J.... A....

    Im from Peru. I was tripping on weed with a venezuelan guy who I met on grindr. We were listening to this song and he told me all the things he suffered for the economic situation of his country. After he left my apartment, I started to be more caring with family and value all the things that really matter. I fell in love with him, but I never meet with him again. I only wish he is fine wherever he is. He is a great guy

    This may bey fav Grimes song. Not by any offence, but I'm always intrigued by music that holds a certain amount of wonder. Because it makes me think

  33. P.... W....

    Grimes is nostalgic to me, I heard her when I was a happy child and now everything is hard but her music reminds me of those times

  34. E.... F....

    Sapete che genere è questo? Secondo voi a momenti sembra drum and bass... ?

    E.... F....

    Elly Fery the drums on this are amazing. I can’t tell what genre it is. Some kind of IDM

  35. i.... ....

  36. M.... X....

    The way she says "...soooooooooofftt..." at 2:57 is so perfect

    LYRICS

    Oh oh oh ohh oh oh ohh oh oh ohh
    Soft skin,
    You touch me with it, 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 bees.
    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.
    These are our,
    These are our fallen secrets.
    Soft skin,
    Why have you been in my heart?
    Until I think of you
    Soft skin
    Oh oh
    You will never lie to me again
    So now I'm suffering..
    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 bees.
    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.
    These are our,
    These are our fallen secrets.
    Soft skin,
    You touch me with it, 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.
    Ohh oh oh ohh oh oh ohh oh oh ohh

  63. a.... a....

    we are back, sorry took so long

  64. l.... ....

    Anyone got chords for the synths at the beginning? Very elevator esque in the best way.

  65. Y.... ....

    This song should be listened to with headphones. Takes the opening to new levels.

  66. X.... M....

    "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" A little nostalgic but calm me down at the same time. I love it.

  67. d.... ....

    It's been two years and not a word. How can someone, who treats you like you're everything to them, just move on without as much as an explanation? I don't know what eats at me more, the fact that I was replaced or not knowing where we went wrong.

    d.... ....

    You act like nothing ever happened but, it meant the world to me ∽

  68. B.... S....

  91. e.... ....

    I'm English and fell in love with an American guy whilst living in Spain. Visa situation meant he had to return home. I remember listening to this with him, lying face to face knowing what was coming. That was almost two years ago now. To this day, my heart hurts when I listen to this song and it perfectly describes how I feel. It's just so beautiful and makes me feel better that other people experience the same pain. Thank you Grimes! <3

    If, your soul wants something, that you can't have. It's not the world playing tricks on you. It's your way of thought.

    e.... ....

    Im from Perú. Same thing happened to me with a venezuelan guy who I met on grindr. We were tripping on weed and he told me all the things he suffered for the economic situation of his country. After he left my apartment, I started to be more caring with family and value all the things that really matter. I fell in love with him, but I never meet with him again. I only wish he is fine wherever he is. He is a great guy.....and, obviusly, we were listening to this song.
