Skin (FS1)

This is my first Featured Song post, the plan is to have one every day, but I'm not certain if I can keep it up. Let's hope I can.

Today's Featured Song is:

Alexz Johnson - Skin

Lyrics:
I drift away to a place
Another kind of life
Take away the pain
I create my paradise

Everything I've held
Has hit the wall
What used to be yours
Isn't yours at all

Falling apart, and all that I'm asking
Is it a crime, am I overreacting

Oh, he's under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I've got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie

So what you had didn't fit
Among the pretty things
Never fear, never fear
I now know where you've been

Braids have been un-tied
As ribbons fall away
Leave the consequence
But my tears you'll taste

Falling apart and all that I question
Is this a dream or is this my lesson

Oh, he's under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I've got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie

I don't believe I'll be alright
I don't believe I'll be OK
I don't believe how you've thrown me away
I do believe you didn't try
I do blame you for every lie
When I look in your eyes, I don't see mine

Oh, he's under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I've got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie

Oh my permission to sin
You might have started my reckoning
I've got a reason now to bury him alive
Another little white lie

My Interpretation:
Well, the song's meaning is rather straightforward for me, but it might not be so for some people. My interpretation of it is that she was in a relationship with someone, and it just was not working out, but she feels it was not her fault, she tried as hard as she could, and it was the other person's fault, for the most part. There were many lies and they both got hurt, and stopped caring for each other, but deep inside herself she finds she cannot hate him as much as she would have wanted, because he's "under her skin". It is trully a beautiful song, she performs in a very passionate way and you can tell by how her voice breaks in the last notes.

I hope you all enjoy it, and leave your own interpretations in the comments, I'd love to hear them.

XoXo.
