MARIANAS TRENCH LYRICS

"Skin & Bones"

Verus one

I lock the door
Turn all the water on
And bury that sound
So no one hears anything anymore
Mirrors lie to me, tell me you can see
Maybe you won't be able to recognize me now
I know you can feel all the things you steal
And you're taking, you're taking it

Chorus:
Feeling so easy
Make me skin and bones
I'm always on my knees for you
You break like it's even
When you're leaving it
Thin, where the hell have you been?

Verus 2:

Well sometimes it burns
Baby I'll wash it out
It all looks so big
Never mind, I don't feel anything

It only hurt a bit
I still feel like shit
And I think you won't be able to recognize me now
It's easier to quit
It's harder to admit and
You're pushing me, you're fucking pushing me!

Chorus:
Feeling so easy
Make me skin and bones
I'm always on my knees for you
You break like it's even
When you're leaving it
Thin, where have you been?

'cause you always win
And you... yeah!

Laughin' like it works
Bleeding like it don't hurt
Knock you off your feet
Even if you need me
Tear you apart and I hate how I need you

Feeling too easy, make me skin and bones
I'm always on my knees for you
Break like it's even
When you're leaving

It's too fucking easy, make me skin and bones
I'm always on my knees for you
Break like it's even
When you're leaving it
Thin, where have you been?

'cause you always win, and you always win, you always win
I will burn all this [x9]

 

 

First of all Marianas Trench is a Canadian band from Vancouver. They are one of my favorite bands, I have seen them three times in concert. Got crazy last year and decided to fly to Halifax and see them there, five months later saw them here.

This song is a beautiful piece of writing by Mr.Josh Ramsay (the lead singer).  For most of his life has suffered from depresstion, a drug addiction, also a eating disorder. This song Skin and Bones is one of the pieces from their "Fix Me" ablum that talks alot about Josh's past.

In the first verus they talk about the eating disorder. "Mirror lie to me, tell me you can see maybe you won't be able to recoginize me now, I know you can feel all the things steel, and you're taking it, You're taking it."(Josh Ramsay). This is just his way of say that he wants the mirror to show what he would like to be and not what he is. He feels that if his apparence is not good enough for him, or for anyone else. In the chorus he says that he finds it so easy to be bulimic and when he says he is always on his knees for you he is talking about being on his knees for the toilet. He really has a hard time adimiting to the fact that he had a drug attection and a eating disorder and he makes that very clear in this song. But his own mind is pushing him to adimit to it and come out and say that he has a problem. My favorite verus in this song is this one: "Laughin' like it works Bleeding like it don't hurt Knock you off your feet Even if you need me Tear you apart and I hate how I need you" because to me he knows that the drugs got that bad that he would laugh it off like I dont have a problem, also the bleeding like it dont hurt that he is feeling like he dont matter that much so pretending that it dont hurt at all but he is bleeding and hurting on the inside really. He hates that he needs this drugs and needs to make himself sick to feel like he is worthy. Josh has suffered through alot in his life but he is clean and has been clean for a very long time the only thing he does now is he drinks alcohol but what celebrity do not. This song I have choosen it because it is one of my favorites off the Fix me Album and it is a song that has alot of meaning.
