WIRE
- Silk Skin Paws Lyrics / with translationsYou have nothing to fear
I'm just making enquiries
Dog bone hunting
Gives you back to yourself
Standing before me
The gargoyle turns
Jutting jaws and
The stubble burns
I shift the blame
To the worm in the bottle
I shift the blame
To anyone standing before me
I check-up the once over
Give yourself an opening
Keep your mouth shut
In the event of an accident
Contact the following
A certain air
An invading smile
Inbreeding seals the flaw
Silk skin paws
Hang by both feet
Embracing the world
Hang the expense
Breuel's cut corners
Wring out the senses
I have nothing like it
I've seen nothing like it
I'm just making enquiries
Dog bone hunting
Gives you back to yourself
Standing before me
The gargoyle turns
Jutting jaws and
The stubble burns
I shift the blame
To the worm in the bottle
I shift the blame
To anyone standing before me
I check-up the once over
Give yourself an opening
In the event of an accident
Contact the following
A certain air
An invading smile
Inbreeding seals the flaw
Silk skin paws
Hang by both feet
Embracing the world
Hang the expense
Breuel's cut corners
Wring out the senses
I have nothing like it
I've seen nothing like it

✔️
When we interpret the meaning being expressed, in “Silk Skin Paws” by Wire, the artist plays with the ideas of blame and escapism, and he does so through very striking metaphors like ‘worm in the bottle’ that stand for self-deception and the shifting of responsibility. The overall mood of the song's lyrics mostly covers angst, anger, reflection, despair, and empowerment. The artist through the song, however, does not only mention these emotions but also underlines the interrelationship of fear and doubt, self-discovery and identity, blame and deflection, control and manipulation, and deceit and mask. The lyrics have an abstract and somewhat dark imagery, and at the same time, they make continual reference to blame and the 'worm in the bottle,' which could be interpreted as implying or mature themes. The lyrics are not explicit but they tackle complex issues that may necessitate a more mature audience, hence a PG-13 rating.
