I don't mind   if the sky is falling   I don't care   if it's breaking apart   I won't be there   when you're feeling lonely   'cause all I care for   is my own kind   well you can say I'm blind   if you can't find   what you really wanted   if you can't get it   and you don't know who you are   you could have stayed here   to make it all new   but now you're gone   and I'm falling apart   let's take it back to the start   'cause now we're falling apart   I don't mind   if the sky is falling   I don't care   if it's breaking apart   and I won't be there   when you're feeling lonely   you could have stayed here   to take it back to the start   but now we're falling apart   let's take it back, take it back

Second Skin 03:17
burning my candle your light won’t shine in can’t see through the darkness I feel like giving in craving your touch don’t know where you’ve been crawling upon me just like a second skin a second skin my second skin nothing’s happening you’re not there to be seen why won’t you save me from my losing scheme looking for reasons for what I’ve been in searching for life signs inside my second skin a second skin my second skin just like a second skin my second skin don’t know when to stop don’t know where to begin I feel like giving in
8.
Holy War 01:59
your little holy war a private holy war behind your bedroom door you fail, you try your hope denied you've been fighting on your own you've been fighting  holy war your little holy war a private holy war you've been fighting on your own  you've been fighting  all alone you cheat, you lie you fight, you die you've been fighting on your own  you've been fighting all alone you've been fighting on your own you've been fighting  it's your own  holy war!
9.
we’ve been forsaking our fate our time has come just too late I’m the one who waits wait for you to come back Long gone but still I’m yearning false hope for your returning I’m the one who waits wait for you to come back I’m the one who waits in a wasteland wait for you to come back come back!
10.
Paralysed 03:09
I'm paralysed  I just can't help the way I feel I can only say dumb things  every time you are near it's a condition that I can't escape at all I'm trying to stand up but all I do is fall all I do is fall I'm hypnotized I can't control the things I do I know I feel this way just because of you you roll your eyes I don't know just what to say I came to hate myself  just like I hate this place all I do is fall They tell me what they want tell me what they want I do a little bit of this a little bit of that I’m paralysed can't cope this time  It’s gonna break me I just can’t shake it I’m paralysed just hypnotized I'm hypnotized I can't control the things I do I know I feel this way just because of you you keep your distance  I don't know just what to say I can't seem to have it any other way They tell me what they want tell me what they want I do a little bit of this a little bit of that I'm paralyzed I can’t disguise the way you break me I just won’t make it I’m paralyzed  it keeps dragging me away  all the time when I wanna stay
11.
our love got tired and now it smells like a burning tyre your childlike smile through my skin like a frozen knife what you require it can’t be reached unless you cut your wires you call it friendly fire but I know and I won’t be lying and now how can I trick my fate? who’s gonna catch my fall? I’m down  I know it’s much too late I’ll never meet you again I know in time you’re gonna look for what you left behind the deaf lead the blind I don’t think it’s gonna work out fine come rain or shine  I’ll disappear and you won’t be crying you met your partner in crime and you get on like a house on fire and now how can I trick my fate? who’s gonna catch my fall? I’m down  I know it’s much too late I’ll never meet you again I’ll never see you again

what can I say to save my life? I crash and burn night after night what can I do to kill the blues? I’ve ripped and torn every sign of you will I no longer feel regret? I wish someone could answer that time has never been a cure everything just got obscure ain’t it cool to feel no shame for things you’ve done again and again? nobody said I’m always right I wonder how you sleep at night guess you’re doing just alright someone else has paid the price it’s pain pain! what can I say to save my life? I crash and burn night after night what can I do to kill the blues? I’ve ripped and torn every sign of you nobody said I’m always right I wonder how you sleep at night guess you’re doing just alright someone else has paid the price for you! It’s pain pain!

about

“20 Years on the Wrong Side of the Road”
“Second Skin” è il sesto album dei CUT ed è il disco con cui la storica formazione bolognese festeggia più di venti anni di un percorso musicale che li ha visti attraversare “ere” diverse del suono alternativo e indipendente, sempre “on the wrong side of the road”.
Per questo motivo, nella fase di realizzazione dell’album, i CUT hanno voluto coinvolgere alcuni dei loro più stretti collaboratori e amici, molti dei quali hanno preso parte alla fase di costruzione dei brani, fornendo un contributo essenziale alla varietà di atmosfere e suggestioni che caratterizzano “Second Skin”.
“Second Skin”
Il titolo ha un doppio valore evocativo:
può essere letto come una metafora del vissuto della band, oramai divenuta una seconda pelle per i propri membri, oppure attraverso le tematiche affrontate nei testi quali l’ossessività e la dipendenza affettiva che rendono difficoltoso l'affrancarsi da stati d’animo legati a rapporti interpersonali passati.
Un'ossessione che ti avvolge come una “seconda pelle”, una prigione, spesso invisibile agli altri, dalla quale non ci si riesce a liberare.
