Analysis of Lyrics - Skinny Love

Lyrics to Skinny Love

I did this to show what the lyrics mean and how this has influenced my choice in what I am doing in my music video.

I think this helped me in thinking of my idea as it links really well to the meaning and goes together.
The Lyrics:

Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
What I think it means?

I personally think that the lyrics means that the love was strong at the beginning and for a while between two people but then the love had faded and become weak (skinny). This linking into my idea for my music video was the girl is finding out and revisiting memories from her past and how her parents love became 'skinny' and they divorced. I have linked the the tone of the song the sadness and put it into my music video.

THE LYRICS:

But it will be a different "kind"
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?
Now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far be
Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different "kind"
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?
Now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?

My Question: The question that I asked was what they thought the lyrics meant of the song?

My Answer: Love that's fading away so fast it's gone 'skinny'.



The research above confirmed my thoughts on what the song means and is confirmed the target audience and how they think the same things as me. However, this was the only reply that I got which is disappointing and showed that maybe people weren't able to answer the question that I asked.

  1. Beth,

    I really like the fact that you are using and online site to post a question, this will score you credit for 'communication skills' which is one of the criteria that your research and planning is marked on.

    I suspect that this is the only reply you received? If so, that is fine, but be honest about the size of your reply. Also, how can you prove that these are actually your target audience?

    It would also be really good if you could post the link on here to the website post
