Should my heart reveal itself to be
More than a muscle
Or a fist covered in blood
However much it feels to bleed
It’s only temporary
We’re good people and we both deserve peace
(Peace)
My God! It’s a lot
(I build some type of skin
I’ve got to build some type of skin)
My God! It’s a lot
(I build some type of skin
I’ve got to build some type of skin)
I guess I should build some type of skin
And let breath be air
And love the things I know might disappear
And the last light of the sun (Sun)
I let it slow me down
I’ll crawl where everybody runs
We’re good people
And we deserve peace
It’s difficult, it seems
My God! It’s a lot
(I build some type of skin
I’ve got to build some type of skin)
My God! It’s a lot
(I build some type of skin)
My God!
(I’ve got to build some type of skin)
My God! It’s a lot
(I build some type of skin
I’ve got to build some type of skin)
My God! It’s a lot
(I build some type of skin)
My God! My God!
(I’ve got to build some type of skin)
It’s a lot
It’s a lot
My God! It’s a lot
It’s a lot, a lot to me
To me
“Some Type Of Skin” is a song about accepting one’s own sensitivity in a world that often demands toughness. The lyrics, written by AURORA herself, reflect her quest to find a balance between deep connection with others and protecting her heart.“I’ve always been told that I should build some type of skin. I’ve always let myself merge too much with the world, not really knowing where the world ends and I begin,” AURORA explained of the inspiration behind the track. “This song screams the muchness of it. And it’s delicious. Being human is really delicious, even though it’s more than any of us can handle. My god it’s a lot.”
