  • Josh Ramsay is so strong and I admire him so much. I'm bulimic myself and its so hard, but whenever I hear this song it reminds me that I'm not alone and I feel okay for a bit. Thank you for your music, Josh. You have helped me through so much.

  • Thin where the hell have you been?! :''(

  • This is what music used to be. It used to have lyrics that meant something, Told a story, that most people could relate to in one way or another. I'm not saying that bands now can't do this... but they seem to most commonly not... Marianas trench hit the nail on the head. Wwe're all beautiful, we may go through rough patches, want to leave the world, but we're all beautiful inside and out, never change for someone else! Proud to be a trencher.

  • Marianas trench sings about what's actually happening. They sing about what we all feel at some point, and recently I had to use a prompt for a writing assignment and I chose "fat" as my promp and I wrote based on this song. thank you, Marianas trench, for saving my life more than once.

  • i love how there's 2 versions. <3

  • @The2Thingzz I can only find one?

  • @DreamyEyedx3 This was recorded around the same time as the Marianas Trench EP. As far as I know, the Marianas Trench EP only had

    1. Primetime

    2. Decided to Break It

    3. Push

    4. Far From Here

    5. Sicker Things

    6. Feeling Small

    But the version of the Marianas Trench EP I downloaded had this version of Skin and Bones under the name Push.

  • This song ALWAYS makes me cry.......

  • i hate to be the one who has to point out every little thing but you missed an "n" in trench (you wrote trech)

  • I love how Josh Ramsay can write a single song that every single teenaged girl on the planet can relate to.

    And that is why I love Marianas Trench.

  • @XxSideEffectsMayVary  Boys with anorexia can relate too.

  • @MATTHEWxCARTER I know. It's just that body image issues are usually found in females. It's less likely for a teenaged guy to be anorexic/bulimic than it is for a teenaged girl.

  • words frm a recoveryin anorexic

    im onmy forth week and its the best thing iv eva done its sooo fukn hard but my bf and freinds are amazing,

    i still feel extremly sik at tyms my body is so fukd frm yrs of abuse but hey im feelin bter slowly i knw its a hard road ahead but i need to get bter,iv gone frm 36 kgs to 55 atm and now i actually hav muscle yay,i still obsess abt working ot but its true eatin builds muscle,

    if i can do this i knw you can those who suffer knw yr not alone

    *hugs*

  • Is this sped up? 

  • @missylickedyourmom I think it's a demo version or something. Then they slowed it down on the album.

  • THIS GUY IS MY LIFEEE!! <3 FUCKING LOVVEE U OFF JOSH!! IDOL, REASON OF EXISTENCE!! OMGGG WHY IS HE SOOOOOOOOO AMAZINGG??!!!! :) :) :)

  • i swear they know my life.

  • @sweetsallydinolover7 i know, how you feel, your not the only one

  • i wish i had more flesh on my body. how attractive do you think it is to be able to count my ribs from a distance?

    i feel like all i want to do i is put on some sort of flesh so i'm not just a skeleton.

    i lost 10 pounds in 4 days. and i don't crave any more food even when i try to eat.

    the only thing i crave is my own death.

  • @hownottodie Don't base your self-value on looks, you're better than that. Every body is different, everyone is beautiful in their own way. Why would you want to die? There is so much more to live for than physical beauty and i'm sure there are many, many people who would be devistated if they lost you.

  • @DeepFriedMarshmallow Helpful tips: Try eating large meals less often, and eat even when you aren't really hungry (but not when you are full as that might cause problems). If nothing else works your doctor might be able to prescribe weight gain pills or recomend a special diet.

  • is the song sped up?

  • @bethramsaytrench i think so eh

  • I didn't know what being bulimic meant until i just searched it up. the website said 9 of 10 people who are bulimic are girls.And JOSH has to LIVE with it. Im not allowed to swear, so i'll just say I have never heard of something that could be so horrible, and in somebody who, in my vision, is the most perfect person alive.Josh is one of the best things that has ever happened in my life. I'm glad he's here today so i can love him no madder WHAT his flaws may be.Dont push me ppl. I LOVE YOU JOSH.

  • it breaks my heart to read these comments

    we are all the same, rag dolls tied together by the hope from the lyrics </3

  • Thumbs up if you know how an eating disorder feels?

    This is the song that made me love Marianas Trench. I am forever thankful for this band. They helped me feel like I'm not so alone.

  • before i didnt know what it was about then i heard about the fact he was bulimic, É& i felt so baaaadd!!

    i love Jossshhhh!!!

    *Skin&Bones, FeelingSmall are both about his bulimia.

    he is so strong, way to go jossssshh!!!

  • whats this song about??

  • @MarianasTrench455 It's about Josh's struggle with bulimia.

  • @VanillaSspice wow. I didnt know josh had bulimia

  • the difference between anorxia, and bulimia is something that confuses everyone. I'm anorxic, and i don't eat at all. It is way different than bulimia.

    that was just random

  • thin feels like the only thin i am good at.

    but i'm never ever thin enough, no matter what i do.

  • Amazing Song.Amazing Band.<3

    but im pretty sure this is the Version off Their Ep before Fix Me was released; some of the songs from the Ep were re-recorded to be put on Fix Me thats why the quality isn't the same

  • bulimia is a horrible disease that you never fully recover from

    this always there not matter how mard you try and forget it

  • this makes me sad

  • this is live you can tell from the quality

  • @paintercart its not live, its just cuz its on youtube, so the sound is shitty. this is the same version that is on the album.

  • @jolenetaylor1994 i kinda like it xD but some parts make me suspect that it's a early demo, or a cover by someone,

  • and all those models that r suposed to look so good thin look gross. the best looking girls wiegh a healthy amount and if looks shouldnt be everything anyway

  • love love love this song...<3

  • every time I hear this song it makes me want to cry.....the songs these guys write/play are just so inspiring and passionate, about real things that really happen in life.

  • @sweetsara203

    i used to cry to this all the time .

    i've always wanted to be thinner ,

    and songs like this really hit you y'know

    it takes a long time to get over ,

    and some people just plainly can't .

  • @cupcakexepidemic I've always wanted to be thinner 2, I used to be afraid to look in the mirror I was so obsessed over how much I weighed. I always felt like people were making fun of me and staring at me because of it. It was one of the worst feelings that I felt.

  • im suffering hard core from debilitating bulimia than you for this song josh

  • My step mom's family are all twigs. and the brother's girlfriend came over and since they treat weight like nothing they say "OMFG Brittney, ur so fat!" she's a twig too.... i just want to slap them all.

  • Story of my life.

  • trench*

  • I like this version...he sounds angrier!

  • im a boy and im like almost crying because im going to read everyone of these comments and i already read many :'( :'(

  • i got help because of this song.

    i was bulemic for 3 years, and i listened to this song, and realized that i didnt need to be bulemic to make myself feel good for being trying to be thin.

    i cried, and i got help.

    Thanks Marianas Trench/Josh Ramsay for help you dont know you provided <3

  • They are so fucking amazing but yet they are not as famous as some other bands which have only half their talents.

  • I was anorexic for several years. One of the main reasons i got help was because of this band. Sound stupid, but i was listening to this song one day and just broke down. This song is just so beautiful, and made me realize i didn't want this life anymore. I told my mom everything that day.

    So thank you, marianas trench, for overall saving my life.

  • To anyone who hates themself, you might not be perfect, but to someone, someday, if not at this very moment while you don't realize it, You Are Perfect!

  • bad quality

  • This is my favorite song by them.

    So many people can relate to it.

    I cannot relate to it personally, but I know people who can.

    And I hope everyone who is suffering is strong enough to get help.

    Help is out there.

    Marianas trench is amazing !

  • this is older version !

  • Make me skin and bones. I'm always on my knees for you...

  • CRAPPY QUALITY.

  • it meanso much you know how i feel

    i feel like a failiure when i eat,. .

    they say im thin but i just am not

    i feel bad for lieing to everyone bout my eating habits

    you see i have thought about becomeing bulimic but you see i was freakishly scared of puke as a little kid so i dont think i ever coul d

    i know how you feel at the end of not eating i end up stuffing my face

    you have no idea how good that makes me feel to know im not alone in this

  • @sockmonkeyfeaver13 how old are you? if you are in the teen years stuff away you cant help it i stuff my face i am not ashamed i am perfeclty healthy i am nice and skinny not too skinny though ive built muscle if you arent a teen then eat in moderation eat salad and meats balance everything out just try to kick this habit

  • aw this song is so fuckin sad

    makes me cry every time

    esspescially cause i can relate....................no comment

    eating disorders suck....i think of this song whenever i feel fat and worthless then i remember josh went through this so it gives me a little hope

    i wish i was skin and bones

  • @sockmonkeyfeaver13 we are thhe same...i want to be so thin.....my friends say i am all the time,but i dont feel it.....

    im both.....i dont eat for 2 days then when i eat i eat to  much and throw up.......

    my family doesnt know....i feel bad......but i feel as if i have to do this.....know what im saying?

  • @ilovecandy1231000 hey cmon don't do that to yourself. don't throw away your life and happyness to be thinner, dont waste away to satisfy the shallow assholes of this planet. be happy with who you are. please take my advise, tell your family, try to find some help or something, just do somthing to try to stop this. you dont have to be skinny as a rail to be perfect. everyone is perfect in there own way, all of imperfections are what make us perfect people. :)

  • @ilovecandy1231000

    i know how you feel becasue i have been through this before. but you don't need to do this. you are beautiful and i hope you see this. i hope everyone that stuggles with this sees how beautiful they truly are because the true beauty isn't in how much you weigh or anything in that. today's society has been brainwashed to think that and its so sick. i think everyone should wake up and see that the true beauty lies within us because its true. you are beautiful.

  • @ilovecandy1231000 ohhh sorry :) :(

  • @ilovecandy1231000 sweetie, i know exactly how you feel. Tell your family, get help, i know its easier said than done, but i got help and my life has been so much better. I have the will to live, and i just feel great.

    You can do it!!!

  • @ilovecandy1231000

    I know how you feel, im a elite athlete and have so much pressure from coaches and dad.. plus on top of that all my bff's are half my weight

  • @sockmonkeyfeaver13 no ones fat and worthless. if this song gives you some hope i want to give you more. Read my comment to ilovecandy1231000, no one is absolutely flawless for everyone but everyone is perfect for someone dont waste away just to be appealing to shallow assholes.

  • I'm going to see them oct. 27th, I have to wait longer than everyone :(

  • haha not longer than me. I have to wait until their next tour or until they come to Niagara falls or something.

  • pfft i gotta wait till nov. 2nd wen the come 2 edmonton! u lucky u get 2 c them sooner :(

  • I saw them live yesterday.. they're absoulutly AMAZING!

  • o god so many of their songs make me cry.....but im glad josh was strong enough to get through it all.

    ilu josh!

  • i am going on the 13, in 3 days i am already freaking out!

  • mental illness needs more recognition and treatment. i would know.. i still suffer.

  • So true.. me too, but i hide it where no one can find it.

  • @fruitariangirl i hope you get better, i mean it <3

  • @fruitariangirl I know what you mean, I suffer through some major issues...

  • This song is so sad, but I can relate to it a lot. I'm glad Josh is better now. :)

  • same

  • there are alot of marianas trench songs that make me cry!:'(

    mainly this one and lover dearest!

    I feel so bad for josh going through all this shit!

    it sucks! and now he is so clean & healthy!

    its insperational! ♥

  • i totaly agree! sad fucking song!

  • This song always gets to me.

    Its so sad, but I don't know any song that looks so deeply into the mind of a bulimic person.

    I hope Josh Ramsay doesn't suffer like that anymore, its awful. x_x

  • I love this song... but i hate what he want to through this time :[...... I am so glad he is clean and Healthy :) LOVE U JOSH <3

  • There's a lot of confusion about these lyrics for some reason.. They are definitely about bulimia. Locking the door and turning the water on means he's in the bathroom and using the running water to cover the sounds of his throwing up. When he talk about it burning, hes talking about the burning in his throat after purging, Same with the hurting and feeling like shit after purging because it makes you feel tired much like when you're sick. He says he always on his knees for bulimia...Etc

  • this is so sad but beatiful

  • wow, i saw thsi live, and a girl behind me obviously didnt understand the emaning of the song, she screamed at the top of her lungs "cry me a fuckin river" she had no ideo what its like... no idea whatsoever

  • oh my god! i would turn around and just punch her right in the face, plus this song makes me cry :(

  • it makes me cry too :(

  • i can't believe someone would say that! by the way have you seen marianas trench live? cause i am going to see them in october and i was wondering if they are really good live

  • no, i am going to see them live in october too

    but everone i know who saw them live said they were amazing

    when in october? i am going to see them october 7th in London, im soo excited :)

  • that is awesome i am so excited, i am seeing them october 10th in toronto

  • i went to that concert too, best night ever!! <3

  • They are amazing live =) I have seen them twice !! They sound amazing too !!!! you will NOT be disappointed !!!!!

  • agh! jealous. wish i could see them!

  • Im going in October too. When are yu going im going on teh 17!

  • ugh hate people like that, why was she even there? what a idiot. I do cry every time, i'm so glad theres people out there like you people ^_^ Understanding, were not emo, were just not rocks so sorry.

  • I'm glad he recovered from anything that might have happened to him. and Bulimia has a "u". Just so you all know :)

  • i feel pretty bad for him, that he went through all that . :(

    hes amazing though & i love this song sooo much. ♥

    glad he recovered! :D

    ♥♥♥

  • So what is this song about? Idk but I like the lyrics.

  • Im pretty sure its about Josh Ramsay (lead) and his eating disorder (belemic, or however its spelt)

  • hes belemic??? O_O

  • He way. A long time ago, don't worry, not anymore lol. This is just a song he wrote on his experience with being belemic.

  • He was bellimic, he's recovered from that as well as heroin addiction. But he's clean now :]

  • yeeeah.

  • So this song was about when Josh was bulimic?

  • yeah its alot sped up...its not like that on fix me.....great song though!!

  • yea i thought so too

  • is this sped up ?

  • I think they sped it up cuz it would blow a lot of time...their songs are usually way slower and longer. They use sped up version for radios...which i hate

  • he was bulimic  :(

  • It's so sad! You rarely hear about a guy with an eating disorder but it's so great he overcame it along with his drug addiction.

  • yes he is amazing

  • Definitely! I have a lot of respect for the guy

  • I see how it can be about bulemia, but to mee this song is more about the affect someone has on you to change who you are.

    Not saying its not about eating disorder, just saying how I say it.

  • this song is about eating disorders lol not cutting or injecting

  • the sometimes it burns, is not about cutting.

    its about injecting herion. .

  • lol he talking about purging blimia dip ship

  • im glad that music is his way of dealing with all of his feelings now, otherwise he could be worse(god forbid) and we wouldnt have two wonderful albums by marianas trench that are a huge part of our lives.

  • i love this song.

    it's so meaningful .

  • Love this song!!

  • You kids need to learn your native language.

  • I know this song is so powerful/sad! I love it though. :]

  • um to the person who said that "why couldnt it be anyone else in the band" um maybe because josh is the only one who had bulimia....i wonder.

  • this is my favorite song in the whole world. i love marianas trench and this song is so sad it makes me want to cry. it like deepy touches me lol. but yeah when i found out it was about josh's eating disorder and i listened to it again it just like meant more, becuas eit was based on something real. this is a beautiful song, even if its about something unpleasant.

  • what makes you think its him why couldnt be anyone of the other people of the band??!

  • to hgmpooky101 if this doesn't come pu as a reply. It was Josh this was written about he's the only one who had bulimia

  • good song, but its marianas trench*

  • sooooo it is...hmmmmmmm.....well i should fix that. One of these days xD

  • whats wrong with marianas trench?? btw i love how we are both adam lambert but it sucks cause i dont like hiim any more :(

  • Wat do u mean whats wrong with them!!

  • lol no some one comented saying they hate them so i was saying whats wrong with them as in why dont you like them not that i dont like them I LOVE THEM :P

  • n e body know the lyrics??

  • I ♥ This Song =)

  • marianas trench ROX!! my fav song is shake tramp lol

    (erica )

  • i love marianas trench !

  • Why is my version slower than this?

  • i dont know, but i noticed that my version is much slower that this as well... :S

  • Comment removed

  • i love this song!

  • My fave song by them <3 "Only hurt a bit, and I still feel like shit, an maybe you won't be able to recognize me now. It's easier to quit, it's harder to admit, and you're pushing me, you're fucking pushing me." It's though he's speaking directly to the eating disorder. I like that.

  • this song is also about cutting, like the wash it out, because it burns part... both belimia and self harming go together...

  • Did he cut? I noticed that he meantions in some of the sngs but I didnt think he actually was cutting

  • I don't really know if he did...Lets wikipedia it...

    -He WAS adicted to herion in high school

    but i cant find anything about his inspiration for cutting or eating disorders in songs.

  • I knew about the heroin and I KNOw he was bulimic. I wonder if he actually did cut!!! CRAO THIS IS GONA BUG ME!

  • he probably did, cutting and bulemia go hand in hand in most cases

  • ROTLFLMAO

  • usually when singers sing about something its true... its sad in his case

  • Yeah.. it sucks. I so awesome that he stoped thought. I really felt bad for him. this song always makes me sad. But I love it to much to stop listening to it.

  • Yeah im sure he did cut.

    If he didnt it wouldnt be in so many of his songs

  • Dude its about bulima not cutting.

  • Yeah i know. but there are more comments before about if he actually did cut. But there are parts in this song about cutting. like "Sometimes it burns, maybe ill wash it out, it all looks so big. nevermind i dont feel anything." and "Bleeding like it dont hurt"

  • those arent lyrics about cutting.

    when you force yourself to vomit more times than other there's blood.

    it burns your throat like crazy and it all looks so big is an obvious relation to an eating disorder.

    at least thats what i think.

  • haha okay, i dont really know,

    thats just what i thought, not really an expert on throwing up... =P

    but idk, it doesnt really matter what it meant for Josh directly.

    you can interpret it alot of ways

  • I love this song.

    Wish I had it 3 years ago...
