This is my body now, like it or not. The price of exercise when the exercising stops. She said she’d love me with a body or without, I find that hard to believe, when I look down and I can't see my feet. This is my body now, I think I must accept. Feed a man for seven years and he’ll widen his neck. And now I'm stood here, in front of my own reflection Stripped from head to toe, How can she love a human potato? Now my lips are bare. I'm ready to be kissed. My clothes are on the floor, and there's no hiding anymore. She said she’d love me with a body or without I find that hard to believe, when I look down and can't see my feet. I find that hard to swallow, when the words 'I love you' follow, I can't get on board, when I split clothes she can't afford, Stripped from head to toe, how can she love me? I don't know This flesh will perish, and no love lost. And we'll get nourished, and at no cost. This flesh will perish, and at no cost. And we'll get nourished, and no love lost.

about

The song is about being a human being. The anxiety of self-image, and the sheer heights of absurdity humans go to denigrate ourselves, all for only being utterly human. If we’re lucky, we find our soulmate, who can heighten this self-loathing in the loathing self - But a soul mate mates with soul, and that can only grow stronger as body bobs and weaves through a nourished life.
