Ophelia was chronological C.D...you have to listen to them all, like chapters in a book...this is about the break-up of her and her lover. i never knew till i listened to the C.D. about 20-30 times, then it became clear..
This song relates itself to anyone,stop trying to define it,please?It is art,and art has infinate definitions,and meanings,based on your perspective.There is no right or wrong meaning.
I found this song so long ago now, well over 10 years.... I found it not long after we fell madly in love and i was trying to understand what was going on...... was it me? yeah at times i failed.. i had to go into a darkness and had to stay there, i wanted to stay there, i just wanted her to come back to the light. just come back to me. But by the end she found a way out, i was always pointing the way, and she tried so hard to take me with her. But i was stuck. i have to cut this short but
This is a song about love that has been abused and how it darkens the heart of the woman who used to feel so much love for the abuser. poignant song very beautiful
@DepressedLonelyGirl You are not alone...not alone in your problems or bad experiences, not alone in your dark thoughts, not alone in this world...and as this proves, you are not invisible. I know your pain, truly, because at one time it was my own...let me tell you, even though it does not seem like it, even if you cannot see how it will become possible...things will get better. Be strong, be brave, and you will find a way out of your troubled life...and you will shine. :)
I listen always to this song! It helps me 'cause my problems r very big! My mom leave hen i was 3 years old and she doesn't want to know me anymore! My dad hits me all the time! My sister stealed everything I have. And my boyfriend just broke up. My friends let me fall. The only thing I got is... my bff! She has the same problems! But last week she cut over her wrist and died. So now I cut my wrists too. I feel invisible. My life is miserable! I cut in my arm the word "Invisible"
csboro: Where do you find your interpretation? One of Natalie's trademarks is a lack of explaination. It leaves it open for each of us to find our meaning to her songs. It very well could be someone's experience of a terminal illness, but it can also be the normal aging process coupled with the loss of intimacy. This song inspires me to desire to be a better person to those I love and the patients I treat.
It's hard to believe no one in this thread understood the meaning of this song. This is about a woman and her husband. The woman is dying of cancer. The effects of both the cancer and treatment causing deterioration (hair loss, weight loss, etc). Her husband is gradually pulling away from her because of it. No intimacy or even sweet kisses. This is a beautiful and tragic tale that plays itself out every hour of every day. Just wanted to clarify for those who might have misinterpreted.
If people want to show the lyrics they should at least get them right! 'Your face-saving promises.' NOT 'Your face saying promises'!!! That doesn't even make sense!
@lottieprincess You don't get what it's about ? Well it's about someone who has been treated badly and thinks they are not beautiful, and it gets harder to live with all the pain. They don't need the hate, they are so hurt they cannot take it anymore.
@iloveanime113 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new...2 Corinthians 5:17
@LIONBLAZE112 where he wants u to go and GO there or ull never be happy enough to escape the pain of life suicide claims millions every year so y should u be 1 of the unlucky people to meet satan be4 ur time? y not wait to claim Gods gift when u've devoted a life of service to him? trust me u havn't felt pain till ur actually in hell where u dont die but live eternal torture pain beyond pain its only gonna get worse with suicide so burn ur letter and ur hopelessness with it and start over^^
@LIONBLAZE112 we should follow our hearts and find out were we belong because we r never truly happy until we KNOW we r doing wat God wants us to do if ur in pain than dont sit there and cry look for others like u and find out how THEY get though each and every day when they're suffering so much pain when u think u can cope with the pain dont continue to sit on ur but waiting 4 the pain to take u again find out wat god wants u to do (to be continued)
@LIONBLAZE112 .......i once thought about suicide but i dont think im strong enough to do it if i were i wouldnt be concidering suicide in the first place when u cant take ur own life u have to face the facts u were born to do something with ur life so dont throw it away take everyones advice and look up john 3:16 "4 God so loved the world..." He loves us never dought that but in the end its our choice to follow Him(ima make another comment so wait a second)
Personally, I think you should rip up that letter. You are better than that, you don't need to take your own life. Yes in life there is pain, but nothing is too painful to end your life over. Two years ago I when through serious depression I cut myself, last year I was starving myself over an abusive boyfriend. This year I ran away from home and almost died. I OVERCAME EVERYTHING. There is NO WAY you can end your life, I don't care what happened, NOTHING IS WORTH ENDING YOUR LIFE
@LIONBLAZE112 TEAR THAT LETTER UP. You don't need to think of the past and your mistakes, what you SHOULD do is write a letter to yourself saying YOU CAN do better, YOU CAN be happy. Keep your head up and head towards the future, because its NOT the end of the world I promise. I have been through hell and back and can tell you personally, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. YOU CAN DO EVERYTHING & ANYTHING. YOU CAN LIVE.
dear person, life is full of surprises. if yours haven't been good enough so far to make you want it, give it a chance to surprise you pleasantly in the future. to do that, be open and positive and if you would take my advice, pray faithfully to God to guide you, even if you never did before. I strongly believe that He will, if you only let Him. either you know it or not he loves you more than anyone else.
@LIONBLAZE112 Pray. And you will be saved. Read the Bible and you will be forgived. Jesus Christ will always stand beside you. Praise Him. Praise the Lord and you will live for eternity. AMEN :D
@seokyounghwang Your special moment will come! Be patient because pain is temporary. Just wait and you'll see that life is full of surprises. TEAR THAT LETTER. Life is about being happy, not sad. There is a future and think of all the happy moments. LIFE IS AMAZING!
Beauty doesnt always mean happiness. But try being a "fat" person and fitting in. Its not easy to feel good about yourself being bigger, look at what's beautiful these days..
Can anyone tell me what this song means to you? Feel free to message me if you need to. I really, really need people's opinions. I love this song and I'm dancing to it this year so I need to really connect to it! Thanks!
@IncendioFlames I doubt this would help but I'll say it anyway. I grew up with a little horse who meant the world to me. We had such an amazing bond and he cheered me up when I was sad. We'd been together for 17 years and I cant put into words how much he meant to me. After christmas this year, he got a disease in his bones and he had to be put down. I was listening to this song on my iPod when I was walking up to his stable in the freezing winter to see him for the last time.
@IncendioFlames It was really dark outside and it was snowing and no one else was there. It was totally silent and I can remember the moon being huge and bright. This song puts the same knot i got in my throat and the same strain on my heart as it did when I kissed that horse goodbye. 17 years together and over two days he was gone. This song always takes me back to that winter night when I had to let him go. It probably wont help, but thats what it means to me. Good luck in your dance x
@IncendioFlames Well, I first heard an extract of this to a Molly/Sherlock fanvideo and then I heard another extract to a Matt/Emily (Primeval) fanvideo so I think of those when I hear this. (Quite surreal moment suddenly realising it was the same song!)
@IncendioFlames And now, for the first time reading the lyrics "Take a look at my body, look at my hands, there's so much here that I don't understand", I'm thinking of a fiction I've begun writing of a mermaid forced to live in our world - so I guess, yeah, not so many personal stuff but there's pieces and bits that my brain thinks of when listening to this song.

this is a good song to see how far you have come if u have lead a less then perfect life..i was a wild wild child now im a mom,married with 2 kids.. marriage is rough or mine has been but this song gives me the 5.33 mins to reflect in all the emotions and events around them ...teriffic song
This is the first Natalie Merchant song I've ever heard, and I'm really pissed at myself that I never listened to her before. This song is heartbreakingly gorgeous.
Okay, this is strictly my opinion, but this song reminds me of a girl who's been so broken that she turns to sex to give her something she can feel. i say that because of the parts that say "i need this" idk i could be way off.
I don't think it's that she is turning to sex because she's broken. I think she's broken because she's been used and promised so much, and she's finding and needing something and someone that is genuine.
@tiggierose i didn't mean just sex. i should've said "bad things" but idk it just to sounds like she's trying to feel things again because she been broken beyond belief. The song just sounds too depressing. idk. That could be true too.
If i ever hear anyone say "Hey do you know what song really sucks? My Skin by Natili Merchant." I will go over there and leave "Their Skin" on the sidewalk and personally speed dial Chuck Norris to finish the job for me!!!
This song grabs my heart and squeezes. It is exactly like love to me, you know? It feels great but...it hurts you at the same time. Am I crazy for thinking that?
@ageovlove Beautiful people can feel pain too, you realize that right? They're human and they have feelings. Just because they're pretty doesn't mean that they can't feel pain like you do.
@ageovlove being fat or beautiful means nothing when it comes to pain i'v been called beautiful from many people and i am thin but i am usually not happy alot and i am bi-polar im just saying that beauty dosent matter when your in any kind of pain.
@ageovlove Fat?--trying losing weight...beauty is not all that's cracked up to be---I'll give you a quote that one of my ex-girlfriends told me: "emma, people like you and me are in a no-win situation--women hate us and men only want us for one thing." I'm attractive, not fat, and I feel miserable.
2:18 "A kiss good night" (What kind of kiss? ---> a full on snog or a peck on the cheek (a facial one not an arse cheek) ... or perhaps a tender bit of lip action followed by the gentlest nibble on your bottom lip).
1:30 You are fine, you're just not understanding anything. The fact I've written countless times, spent HOURS making videos, condoned channels of communication SHOULD show that you have NOT been treated as badly as YOU CLAIM.
Half the lyrics are illegible because of the ill thought out colour used - TIP ... Use a colour which isn't the same as the background .... Sheeeesh!!!!
@MsRoweena@MsRoweena You have been treated wrong, treated horrible from the man who said he would die for you.I have been a man and said how deeply remorseful I am. I have cried , I would die if that was to prove my heart to you. I have accepted the responsibility for what I have done. I have said to you my darling wife, I WOULD DO ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD TO MAKE IT RIGHT, I HAVE BEEN TO THE CHURCH SEVERAL TIMES , AM GETTING PROPER HELP TO RID ME OF THE CRAP IN MY MIND. I PRAYED
As painful and hurtful as it was. I AM SORRY MY BABY. Unfortunately it took something so out of control for me to realize how I have treated you. I come to you, feeling embarrassed , ashamed , disgusted in myself, asking you for the last time,
MY DARLING SWEETHEART, I KNEEL DOWN TO YOU , ASKING FOR YOUR KIND HEART TO FORGIVE ME FOR ALL I HAVE DONE. FOR ALL THE HURT, FOR ALL THE DISAPPOINTMENTS, FOR ALL THE HORRIBLE THINGS I HAVE SAID AND DONE. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU A QUESTION HUNNY :
A SHORT TIME HAS PASSED, AND I STRUGGLE EVERYDAY WITH YOU BEING GONE. SO I COME TO YOU ASKING PLEASE BE MY GIRL , MY WIFE, MY PARTNER FOR LIFE.
IF YOU FEEL YOU DON'T HAVE IT IN YOU TO TRUST ME, TO MOVE PAST THIS HORRIBLE HEART BREAK I HAVE CAUSED YOU. ARE YOU WILLING TO TRADE THE REST OF OUR LIVES TOGETHER, FOR THE DAMAGE I HAVE DONE? I HAVE BEEN DOING THINGS AND LEARNING WHAT MAKES ME EXPLODE TO THE ONES I LOVE. AND HOW I CAN CONTROL MYSELF FROM SHOWING ANY ANGER AT ALL.
PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME LIVE WITHOUT YOU, PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME LIVE LIFE KNOWING I HURT YOU AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY CHANCE TO MAKE IT RIGHT. HOW CAN I POSSIBLY GO ON!! I AM ASKING YOU SWEETHEART, BE STRONG , FOR YOU HAVE MY KINDNESS , MY SWEET LOVE. YOU HAVE SUCCEEDED AT GETTING ME TO GET THE HELP FOR WHAT I DID. ,YOU ARE AN AMAZING WOMAN, I WANT TO CHANGE I WANT TO LIVE MY LIFE WITH YOU.I WILL RESPECT YOUR ANSWER BUT WE HAVE MADE IT PAST THE WORST, AND I PROMISE YOU A NEW LIFE A NEW ME
I KNOW IN MY HEART WE WERE MEANT TO BE, AND AS SHAMEFUL AS I FEEL, AND THE TEARS I CRY IF YOU ALLOW ME BACK INTO YOUR LIFE I WILL PLEDGE MY UNDYING LOVE AND COMMITMENT , AND I WILL CONDUCT MYSELF AS A LOVING HUSBAND , I WILL KEEP THE CHURCH IN OUR LIFE WEEKLY , I WILL RID YOUR HEART OF THE PAIN AND THE SHIT THAT THIS BASTARD DID TO YOU.
I ASK YOU , PLEASE BE MY GIRL , WE WILL TAKE IT SLOW , WE WILL DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME. WE WILL LOVE EACH OTHER , TRUST EACH OTHER , HAVE RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER , TO HAVE A HAPPY , LOVING ,JOYFUL LIFE TOGETHER. WE MADE IT PAST ALL THE BUMPS NOW I COME TO YOU , AND I KNOW YOU ARE WORRIED , I KNOW YOU LOVE ME , PLEASE FIND IN YOUR HEART , MY WORDS ARE TRUE , MY HEART FAITHFUL , AND BABY I COULD NEVER LOVE ANY ONE OTHER THAN YOU. PLEASE THINK ABOUT IT ,
IT'S TIME FOR HEALING , LET THE HURT FADE, THE RAGE, THE ANGER, THAT WAS NOT ME, I WANT TO HOLD YOU GENTLY IN MY ARMS , KISSING YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE , CARESSING YOUR BODY , THE SMELL OF YOUR HAIR , GENTLY RUNNING MY FINGERS TO THE CURVES OF YOUR BODY, THE PEOPLE ARE GOING OUT OF TOWN SO I WILL BE HERE,
WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE AT A WONDERFUL LIFE TOGETHER, YOU ARE BRINGING OUT THE BEST IN ME AND I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL, , I WILL RAISE MY VOICE OR DISRESPECT IN LIFE, I LOVE YOU MY DARLING WIFE
Sounds like slavery, the title is my skin and it says i've been treated so wrong, made me cry, reminded of me, with evryone being mean to be and me having no freinds

I don't think it's that she is turning to sex because she's broken. I think she's broken because she's been used and promised so much, and she's finding and needing something and someone that is genuine.

@tiggierose i didn't mean just sex. i should've said "bad things" but idk it just to sounds like she's trying to feel things again because she been broken beyond belief. The song just sounds too depressing. idk. That could be true too.

@ageovlove Beautiful people can feel pain too, you realize that right? They're human and they have feelings. Just because they're pretty doesn't mean that they can't feel pain like you do.

@ageovlove being fat or beautiful means nothing when it comes to pain i'v been called beautiful from many people and i am thin but i am usually not happy alot and i am bi-polar im just saying that beauty dosent matter when your in any kind of pain.

@ageovlove Fat?--trying losing weight...beauty is not all that's cracked up to be---I'll give you a quote that one of my ex-girlfriends told me: "emma, people like you and me are in a no-win situation--women hate us and men only want us for one thing." I'm attractive, not fat, and I feel miserable.

2:18 "A kiss good night" (What kind of kiss? ---> a full on snog or a peck on the cheek (a facial one not an arse cheek) ... or perhaps a tender bit of lip action followed by the gentlest nibble on your bottom lip).
0:52 NEVER!!!
1:30 You are fine, you're just not understanding anything. The fact I've written countless times, spent HOURS making videos, condoned channels of communication SHOULD show that you have NOT been treated as badly as YOU CLAIM.

@MsRoweena @MsRoweena You have been treated wrong, treated horrible from the man who said he would die for you.I have been a man and said how deeply remorseful I am. I have cried , I would die if that was to prove my heart to you. I have accepted the responsibility for what I have done. I have said to you my darling wife, I WOULD DO ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD TO MAKE IT RIGHT, I HAVE BEEN TO THE CHURCH SEVERAL TIMES , AM GETTING PROPER HELP TO RID ME OF THE CRAP IN MY MIND. I PRAYED
letzgoracn88 1 year ago
As painful and hurtful as it was. I AM SORRY MY BABY. Unfortunately it took something so out of control for me to realize how I have treated you. I come to you, feeling embarrassed , ashamed , disgusted in myself, asking you for the last time,
MY DARLING SWEETHEART, I KNEEL DOWN TO YOU , ASKING FOR YOUR KIND HEART TO FORGIVE ME FOR ALL I HAVE DONE. FOR ALL THE HURT, FOR ALL THE DISAPPOINTMENTS, FOR ALL THE HORRIBLE THINGS I HAVE SAID AND DONE. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU A QUESTION HUNNY :
letzgoracn88 1 year ago
A SHORT TIME HAS PASSED, AND I STRUGGLE EVERYDAY WITH YOU BEING GONE. SO I COME TO YOU ASKING PLEASE BE MY GIRL , MY WIFE, MY PARTNER FOR LIFE.
IF YOU FEEL YOU DON'T HAVE IT IN YOU TO TRUST ME, TO MOVE PAST THIS HORRIBLE HEART BREAK I HAVE CAUSED YOU. ARE YOU WILLING TO TRADE THE REST OF OUR LIVES TOGETHER, FOR THE DAMAGE I HAVE DONE? I HAVE BEEN DOING THINGS AND LEARNING WHAT MAKES ME EXPLODE TO THE ONES I LOVE. AND HOW I CAN CONTROL MYSELF FROM SHOWING ANY ANGER AT ALL.
letzgoracn88 1 year ago
PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME LIVE WITHOUT YOU, PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME LIVE LIFE KNOWING I HURT YOU AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY CHANCE TO MAKE IT RIGHT. HOW CAN I POSSIBLY GO ON!! I AM ASKING YOU SWEETHEART, BE STRONG , FOR YOU HAVE MY KINDNESS , MY SWEET LOVE. YOU HAVE SUCCEEDED AT GETTING ME TO GET THE HELP FOR WHAT I DID. ,YOU ARE AN AMAZING WOMAN, I WANT TO CHANGE I WANT TO LIVE MY LIFE WITH YOU.I WILL RESPECT YOUR ANSWER BUT WE HAVE MADE IT PAST THE WORST, AND I PROMISE YOU A NEW LIFE A NEW ME
letzgoracn88 1 year ago
I KNOW IN MY HEART WE WERE MEANT TO BE, AND AS SHAMEFUL AS I FEEL, AND THE TEARS I CRY IF YOU ALLOW ME BACK INTO YOUR LIFE I WILL PLEDGE MY UNDYING LOVE AND COMMITMENT , AND I WILL CONDUCT MYSELF AS A LOVING HUSBAND , I WILL KEEP THE CHURCH IN OUR LIFE WEEKLY , I WILL RID YOUR HEART OF THE PAIN AND THE SHIT THAT THIS BASTARD DID TO YOU.
