Beartooth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wishing hopelessness is something I might beat in the end
I've been burying it down in my system again
I'm so uncomfortable
'Cause safety isn't safe with me
And I can't decide if I should keep it or just throw it away
The mirror's telling me that I'll never win
It's so hard to know these days if anybody feels the same
I'd give anything, anything for some company, company
I've been hearing peop0le say they don't have any pain
They've been finding every answer, it's just me that's insane
I've been battling it out with the demons within
I'm so uncomfortable
Give me a sign and give me some love
'Cause I can't decide if I should stay or just give up and run
I'm so uncomfortable with the skin I'm in
The mirror's telling me that I'll never win
It's so hard to know these days if anybody feels the same
I'd give anything, anything for some company, company
For some company
For some company, yeah
I've been worrying about what's been tied to my name
I'm just losing every moment when I try to explain
I've been burying it down in my system again
I'd give anything, I'd give anything
I'm so uncomfortable with the skin I'm in
The mirror's telling me that I'll never win
It's so hard to know these days if anybody feels the same
I'd give anything, anything (I'd give anything)
I'm so uncomfortable with the skin I'm in (skin I'm in)
I'm so uncomfortable with the skin I'm in (skin I'm in)
I'm so uncomfortable with the skin I'm in (skin I'm in)
I'd give anything, anything for some company, company
Yeah
The lyrics of Beartooth's song "Skin" speak of the discomfort and hopelessness one can feel inside their own skin. The first verse describes the singer's struggle with hopelessness, as he sleeps on the floor of his closet, trying to bury his negative feelings. However, he can't seem to shake off the feeling of discomfort, even though he acknowledges how unsafe his attempts at seeking safety may actually be. The chorus repeats the sentiment of discomfort within one's own skin, as the mirror reflects that the singer will never win, and he longs for company to ease his feelings of isolation.
The second verse speaks of the anxiety and pressure of living up to societal expectations, as the singer worries about the reputation tied to his name. He feels as though he is losing moments of his life trying to explain himself to others, as he battles with the demons within himself, trying to keep them buried down. Once again, the chorus reiterates the singer's longing for company to ease his discomfort and feeling of being misunderstood.

Caleb has been such an amazing gift to the whole metal scene/community. His lyrics always hit home, but this song just resonates with me on an entirely different level. Thank you Caleb for always being an inspiration to so many!!!
@zactogepi6824
Yes, but I think he fit more in the core scene instead of metal
@falloutlupus2135
It’s hardcore.
@DragonKnightX12
@@falloutlupus2135 After S&D, it's more Metalcore than HXC.
