ELI YOUNG BAND

- Skeletons Lyrics

'Cross my arm is that old ink stain
God, I wish I could erase that name
Reminds me that I'm the one to blame

I used to think that rules were made for breaking
Now I question every road I've taken
And I regret every heart I've forsaken
Here's my confession

The mistakes I've made
Are coming back to haunt me
Like a ghost from a grave
Always there to taunt me

You say it's okay, you say you still want me
But you don't know where I've been
I'm no stranger to my sins
I've got skeletons, I've got skeletons

You tell me how a man can be forgiven
Start clean on the life he's living
How do you run from a demon?

I've tried every single thing I know
It just won't let me go
I'm tired of walking down the same damn road
Towing this load

The mistakes I've made
Are coming back to haunt me
Like a ghost from a grave
Always there to taunt me

You say it's okay, you say you still want me
But you don't know where I've been
I'm no stranger to my sins
I've got skeletons, I've got skeletons

The mistakes I've made
Are coming back to haunt me
Like a ghost from a grave
Always there to taunt me

You say it's okay, you say you still want me
But you don't know where I've been
I'm no stranger to my sins

You say you don't know where I've been
I'm no stranger to my sins
I've got skeletons, I've got skeletons
I've got skeletons, yeah, I've got skeletons

What is the meaning behind Skeletons lyrics?


When we interpret the meaning being expressed, the track 'Skeletons' sung by Eli Young Band is quite a precise depiction of the feelings that come along with regret and the very heavy burden of one’s past mistakes. The words narrate the battle one undergoes when he has to carry the weight of his wrongdoings and at the same time is constantly reminded of it—feeling judged for it—even though he might have gone to great lengths to seek forgiveness and understanding from others. The very metaphor of 'skeletons' used here stands for those mistakes and regrets that a person tries to hide, but in vain, as they remain with the person and influence him/her, thus making it even more difficult for the individual to give up on the consequences of his/her past actions. According to the lyrics of Skeletons, one cannot miss reflecting the feelings of sadness and nostalgia that the song depicts. Just the opposite, the song speaks about the role of one’s regret and guilt, along with the difficult battle with one’s mistakes and the search for forgiveness.
