| | My Skin Lyrics Artist(Band):Natalie Merchant
look at my hands there's so much here that I don't understand Your face saving promises, whispered like prayers I don't need them. I've been treated so wrong I've been cheated so long as if I'm becoming untouchable... Well, contempt loves the silence it thrives in the dark, the fine winding tendrils that strangle the heart They say that promises sweeten the blow but I don't need them... no I don't need them. I've been treated so wrong, I've been cheated so long as if I'm becoming untouchable I'm a slow dying flower I’m the frost killing hour sweet turning sour & untouchable. ooh I need the darkness, the sweetness, the sadness, the weakness, ooh I need this. Need a lullabye, a kiss goodnight, angel, sweet love of my life ooh I need this I'm a slow dying flower frost killing hour the sweet turning sour & untouchable Do you remember the way that you touched me before, all the trembling sweetness I loved and adored... Your face saving promises whispered like prayers. I don't need them. I need the darkness, the sweetness, the sadness, the weakness, ooh I need this. I need a lullabye a kiss goodnight, angel, sweet love of my life ooh I need this Well, is it dark enough, can you see me? do you want me? can you reach me? or I'm leaving... you better shut your mouth and hold your breath you kiss me now, or catch your death oh I mean this... oh I mean this...

Review about My Skin Broken Love | Reviewer: Lynn | 11/19/09 I broke up with my boyfriend last week...and he keeps putting his love out there...and wanting me to take it. But with the way i feel... it seems so selfish of me to not offer him anything back. He cant see that i want to move on. He promises to change and not hurt me anymore... "Your face saving promises, whispered like prayers I don't need them." Thats my heart right there. "I'm a slow dying flower frost killing hour the sweet turning sour & untouchable" He cant see that my love in our relationship is gone. "I need the darkness, the sweetness, the sadness, the weakness, ooh I need this." I'm tired of fighting and I want to be alone. It feels good to be alone. I need it. This song is about a broken relationship and it hit a home run. I SEE YOU, I DO. | Reviewer: Natalia | 10/14/09 The first time i heard this song it broke my heart not only because of it's beauty and sadness but cause i heard it on a friends page. and i saw what i never wanted to see. i saw how Broken my friend is and how much she needed a frined and i left. how with out noticeing i've become a part of "The People" walking around this world blind and silence. and how I want to tell her that I CAN SEE HER, I CAN HEAR HER. AND HOW I'D GIVE ANYTHING TO GO BACK IN TIME AND CHANGE ALL THAT HARMED HER. My skin | Reviewer: Valky | 7/4/09 This song, to me, speaks of a woman/girl dying of cancer who hasn't fully been told what is going on. "Take a look at my body, look at my hands there's so much here that I don't understand Your face saving promises, whispered like prayers I don't need them." They're looking at how weak she is, and she doesn't understand what is happening to her. They're promising she will recover, but in fact are actually just praying. She doesn't need them because, though they haven't told the truth about all the details, she understands now that she has no hope left. "I've been treated so wrong, I've been cheated so long as if I'm becoming untouchable I'm a slow dying flower I’m the frost killing hour sweet turning sour & untouchable" She's been treated wrong by her family and friends as they haven't fully told her what is going on, maybe lying ot her. She's been treated for so long with chemo, radiotherapy, etc in the hopes she will get better but all it's doing is slowing down the inevitable - she is going to die. She's 'untouchable' because she feels she is suffering alone, possibly as her family is keeping her away from everything, over protecting her so she doesn't find out the truth about her disease. And they may be afraid to literally touch her for the fear of causing her more pain than she is alreayd suffering from, or are afraid they will upset her more so are trying to distance themselves. A very logn explanation, but it's my view XD wow | Reviewer: Ace | 4/25/09 I think it has to do with the way a young girl may feel. This is exactly how I feel, because right now it feels as if no one would ever love me because of my body. I think it has to do with the way that a person may feel, like unloved in many ways. These lyrics seem like the only thing that can tell what I feel. When my freinds asked me why I had such low self esteme, I just showed them these lyrics and said "This is how I feel..." I cry everytime I hear it... 100% | Reviewer: Eloise | 3/31/09 Ms. Merchant's Ophelia has been a favorite for years. But only recently was I able to appreciate My Skin and the feelings I have as a woman, not loved wisely. So powerful and bittersweet. Thank you for your wisdom Ms. Merchant. beautiful | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/13/09 i grew up listening to natalie's voice, when ever my mum was having a bad day my sisters and i would put on one of her CDs and my mum would instantly become a different person, this was one of the songs that effected me the most during my childhood, when ever i heard the voice and the words i could only see my mother in my mind, her fragility and also her overwhelming amount of power within herself, this song is ultumitly my mothers song in my mind, the pure pain in the voice of natalie is amazing, natalie has always been a artist that puts power to her songs,as im now older i can see the way her songs give me hope, they may be sad but somewhere inside of the song i can see hope. this is an amazing song, beautiful. animal cruelty | Reviewer: tilly | 7/21/08 when i watched this, as always I interrupted it as animals speaking and so I typed it in and watched it with animals. It was so unbareable though, and i think if you put an animal behind this vioce, trapped, beaten, tested on in labs, squashed up together in a cattle lorry it really suits it and is encredibly sad. Beautiful and Dark | Reviewer: Tristan | 5/27/08 I heard this song on Youtube whilst looking up other Natalie Merchant songs. It is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, even though it is so dark. Talking about her failing relationship and her depression associated with that... so powerful. And when she finally gets the courage to leave him in the end, it is like he is dead to her... Truly one of the greatest songs of all time. Beautiful song. | Reviewer: Bex | 4/11/08 I also watched this on a Snape/Lily video and was saddened to find Youtube had now deleted the video for some reason. I thought that deleting it was harsh as it was such a waste of an amazing video and the song is beautfiful. I love the lyrics, they're so true to many and people and her voice is excellent, its rather powerful and yet soft at the same time. She sounds quite bitter but it gives the song the perfect effect. my skin | Reviewer: Veronica.holm | 1/16/08 love this song...! maybe its about live but i think it describes anorexia... ive had it for over 2 years and the text describes how it feels... once again love it!
