“Skimming the Surface” is a raw, emotionally-charged exploration of love, anxiety, and the quiet chaos beneath the surface of a toxic connection. Set against moody, atmospheric production, the lyrics dive deep into the conflicting feelings of being drawn to someone who simultaneously unravels you. With metaphors of drowning, icebergs, and moonlit insomnia, the song captures the feeling of being caught in an emotional undertow, unable to breathe and unable to let go.
