Skeletons Lyrics

I can see myself in a broken reflection
This magnifies my imperfection
Beaten down, and I'm crawling, I'm craving affection
I'm afraid of rejection
Comfort in violence, suffer in silence
Lost in self deception
Is there no salvation?

Brick by brick I've built this wall
I shut you out to break the fall
I will shed my sins
I'll show you my skeletons
One by one we cast the stones
Flesh and blood, and broken bones
Burn away the sins
We all have our skeletons

We all have our skeletons

I have lost myself in my addictions
There's no faith in fear or self-destruction
Falling out, falling down
And I'm crawling to you to confess my intentions
Suffer the violence, comfort in silence
Lost in self deception
Is there no salvation?

Brick by brick I've built this wall
I shut you out to break the fall
I will shed my sins
I'll show you my skeletons
One by one we cast the stones
Flesh and blood, and broken bones
Burn away the sins
We all have our skeletons

Brick by brick! Brick by brick! Brick by brick! Brick by brick! Brick by brick! Brick by

Skeletons!

Skeletons!

Brick by brick I've built this wall
I shut you out to break the fall
I will shed my sins
I'll show you my skeletons
One by one we cast the stones
Flesh and blood, and broken bones
Burn away the sins
We all have our skeletons
We all have our skeletons

What is the Meaning of Skeletons?

Well, well, well, if it isn't Papa Roach serving us some piping hot introspection with a side of existential crisis! This song is a classic tale of self-reflection and the struggle to confront our own demons. With lyrics that scream 'internal conflict', it's clear that the protagonist is wrestling with his past mistakes (or skeletons). The recurring image of a wall symbolizes emotional barriers he's built to protect himself from pain. But alas! Our hero realizes he must face his sins head-on. The repeated phrase "we all have our skeletons" serves as a universal truth bomb - we all have our share of regrets and secrets. So folks, let's toast to Papa Roach for reminding us about the importance of self-acceptance and facing our fears.
