Margot & The Nuclear So And So's - Skeleton Key Lyrics






I did a sick, sick thing to my love.
My lack of loyalty, it swallowed her up.
And she cooked me food.
She squirmed and turned like a skeleton key.
She left her man and attended to me.

And don't call me that.
Don't claim you love me,
Cause you know that ain't true.
My dire affliction I'll attribute to you.
And you're finally free
To twist and turn like a skeleton key.

You've gotta let me know.
You've gotta let me know.

I did a horrible thing to that girl.
I bred my misery and drowned it in her.
And she got me high,
And I hardly noticed there were tears in her eyes.

And I miss you less and less everyday.
And it's true the whiskey's helped to wash you away.
And it's clear to see,
You're nothing special.
You're a skeleton key.

You've gotta let me know.
You've gotta let me know.
You've gotta let me know.
You've gotta let me know.

Whooo!

  30. S.... E....

    AMAZING!

  31. F.... ....

    I'm still trying to wrap my head around the meaning of the song 

    F.... ....

    This is the exact story of my first true love. He popped up out of nowhere after two and half years of leaving me alone without a word... I left my then boyfriend just so I could be with this kid. He was all facade and all emotionally abusive. Every little positive was heaven to me, every ounce of affection. Then he just up and left again, was never truly committed to me, said he wanted to marry me one day but he was also afraid of commitments the next. "I hardly noticed there were tears in her eyes", crying over and over about what I had done wrong in this relationship and messed things up. He really did also get a kick out of having me as this eternal slave to him... he fed on it because he thought I'd always be there. He ended up missing me again but this time I stopped it... it hurt very bad... but I wasn't about to stoop for a piece of trash when I had my best friend in the entire world as my lover, and now fiancé. Skeleton key is more of a euphemism for something anyone can get into, there is a lot of sexual imagery with Margot.

    F.... ....

    Seems like the side of the story of the situation where one of the two is not as into their partner as the other. "you're nothing special, you're a skeleton key." A skeleton key being a key that pretty much opens every door in a house, not a unique, specific key to a unique, specific door"
    This song is always in my head because I feel like this is exactly how the man I'm in love with feels about me.

    F.... ....

    April Callahan Huh, I never thought about it in a sexual kind of sense. Very interesting.
    I'm also glad to hear that you are out of that situation and with a worthy partner. I'm still trying to escape that spiderweb.

    F.... ....

    VisualxxKhaos Keep fighting, friend. You have my support and hopefully you will unravel it.

    F.... ....

    April Callahan So you left your boyfriend for another man and then after you broke up with that guy (only because he wasn’t what you hoped) the boyfriend took you back? And then even proposed to you? Man that is legitimately sad and pathetic, he forever knows he was your 2nd choice

  32. T.... M....

    possessed by a song 

  33. J.... L....

    One of my favorite songs. It's cool that they're a local band.

  34. I.... M....

    Don't you know who John Frusciante is? By the way,her name is Chloe.

  35. A.... C....

    its a wanna be chili peppers guitarist

  36. A.... C....

    HEY! Youre not the guitarist from the red hot chili peppers? >:[

    A.... C....

    Albee C hey Hater 💋💞 i would be jelly too

  37. D.... B....

    anyone whos dated a skeleton key with junk fueling the fire knows exactly what this songs about, no question. this song gives chills... much love

    D.... B....

    Devin Bellak Yup. When you're in that misery, anyone you're with is just a skeleton key

  38. j.... ....

    Maybe the Skeleton Key (SK) was the abuser. The lyrics bounce between SK and singer's narratives. But think about it...so charming he almost felt like he was high but she didn't really love him she just adapted to him, made herself out to be a saint carrying the cross of his weaknesses, did nice things for him but always with points and grudges building up secretly against him (you gotta let me know) he got out of it (his disloyalty) but is still recovering from the resulting drinking disorder.

  39. A.... T....

    swear* :3

  40. B.... ....

    I love the wet rides

  41. L.... C....

    Do me a favor, RELAX

  42. R.... A....

    Hence I don't read comments on YouTube.

  43. K.... ....

    And no need to sware guys... No name calling

  44. K.... ....

    Guys? Isn't fighting over YouTube is kind of shallow? I mean this is a video of a really great song.... So please stop fighting k?

  45. C.... ....

    You spread hate then say "Peace"...

  46. i.... ....

    Dear God, you're both such faggots. And before you call me edgy, I just need you to know how much of fucking idiots you are for trying to express yourselves on YouTube comments in the illusion that anyone cares.

  47. U.... ....

    I just read your comment... I want you to know, that there are people who understand. So many more than anyone will know. **hugs**

  48. N.... D....

    My heart goes out to you.
    It is good that you are reaching out. Let me offer my support and my love.
    I did the same thing several months ago.
    It hurts so much. And it can be so hard to find the right help.
    I believe in you.

  49. G.... ....

    this was my song when i was 21 ha

  50. s.... ....

    Things get better, trust me. Your life isn't worth it.

  51. a.... ....

    I just literally stepped out of an abusive relationship and because of it, I want to die so badly. I'm so depressed, i've recently tried to commit suicide. I'm giving up because this guy really tore up my life. And this song...oh I wish how he would apologize for everything. God, I hate myself.

  52. s.... ....

    saw these guys back in 2008. I was a freshman in college, greatest times ever

  53. F.... ....

    From my 2007.

  54. s.... s....

    this is one of my new favorite bands and this is really sweet oh golly goshie

  55. C.... C....

    i feel like i am the girl in this song with every guy I've dated... .-.

  56. r.... ....

    Yes, I know.

  57. r.... ....

    One step closer to the edge and I'm about to break...is a lyric in the song 'one step closer.

  58. r.... ....

    I hope not. LP blows.

  59. H.... F....

    Every time I listen to this song, I think of all my past relationships and realize how much of an asshole I was.

  60. r.... ....

    Linkin Park reference?

  61. C.... ....

    Nigga S'il vous plaît

  62. T.... ....

    It bothered you enough that you felt you had to say something. And by how rude you were I would say you care quite a bit.

  63. T.... ....

    Shut the fuck up, nobody cares about your opinion.

  64. C.... J....

    as long as you apologize

  65. T.... ....

    I apologize for disturbing this echo chamber by expressing a dissenting opinion.

  66. C.... J....

    you don't enjoy it, yet take the time to write how much you don't enjoy it, when all could be cured with a simple change of song..??

    we didn't need to hear your opinion, please listen to something you'll enjoy and move along.

  67. D.... O....

    seriously? listen to the fucking lyrics

  68. T.... ....

    Yes, thank you for pointing out I was expressing my opinion. The music is bad, I don't enjoy it.

    For a band that claims to have taken more than 10 hours to get just 20 seconds of music just right, the results are disappointing. They are obviously trying to emulate more talented acts like Radiohead and Arcade Fire but never quite get there. Their music is hollow and unsatisfying, and I think they are a mediocre band.

    So I find myself agreeing with Pitchforks review. 4.5/10 for Animal.

  69. K.... B....

    While I whole heartedly disagree with your opinion, it IS just that, an opinion. You're entitled to one even though I think it's wrong. Try and enjoy the music, friend.

  70. T.... ....

    This is some of the most unimaginative and frankly boring music I have ever heard. Pitchfork got it right when they reviewed these guys, they are mediocre.

  71. t.... w....

    too late, as usual...

  72. K.... M....

    This sucks.

  73. D.... O....

    nope, hear because i'm into good music

  74. c.... ....

    Whoa, dude. You don't know that person. Who are you to judge their past mistakes? Reevaluate that comment, okay?

  75. m.... m....

    This song is about being in a relationship with a seemingly perfect girl, however completely fucking it up and then blaming all of your faults on her.

  76. b.... ....

    buthurt alert!

  77. A.... P....

    Whoa, I clicked on this on accident. The replay wasn't one though. :)

  78. m.... c....

    I love this song

  79. a.... C....

    Aren't you a ass/bitch. Either one you have no right to say that,

  80. A.... M....

    It's really a wonderful song.

  81. k.... m....

    My favourite song by M&TNSAS

  82. b.... ....

    Do me a favor. Stay alone for the rest of your life...

  83. b.... ....

    Lyrics! :D

  84. M.... ....

    Definitely gotta cover this song.

  85. c.... p....

    hahaha what he said "when you're falling through" i was on tumblr and a picture of a cat falling through a box came up.

  86. Y.... ....

    It's a taint we both share.

  87. C.... R....
