Papa Roach - Skeletons - Commentary lyrics
[Papa Roach - Skeletons - Commentary lyrics]
Oh dude
"Skeletons"… That song… That song went
Through a few different transitions
But when I was laying down
The vocals for that track, i wanted
To just approach it from a very
Different angle as a vocalist, you
Know, so it’s very breathy and
Very whispery and, you know
Was influenced by singers like Chino from the
"Deftones" or Maria from "In
This Moment", you know
We're just kinda taking a different
Angle on the vocal performance
And, you know
Lyrically it’s just, songs about secrets
You know, and you’re only as sick as your
Secrets and we all have
'em, no matter who you are, you
At least got one, you know
But it’s about that process of building
The wall around yourself and then
Tearing that wall back down and
It’s just that vulnerability
Of exposing yourself for who you really are
And ah, you know
Cause you face judgement when
You expose yourself to people and ah
You know I think that when I am
Most vulnerable in the music and that’s
What I like about the vocal the vocal
Text and the verse are very
They sound vulnerable and, you know
And I put myself out there
And I find that when
I’m most vulnerable that’s when
I’m most effective
With music and with who I am
You know, I really wanna connect with…with
The brokenness in people…you know
Because I believe there’s
A way out of the brokenness, you know
And I believe that, you know
My greatest weaknesses have become my
Greatest strengths in my life
And so… "Skeletons" is just
Another testament to that
"Skeletons"… That song… That song went
Through a few different transitions
But when I was laying down
The vocals for that track, i wanted
To just approach it from a very
Different angle as a vocalist, you
Know, so it’s very breathy and
