| I love this song but I'll be damned if it makes that much sense to me, either. The title doesn't help, but so few skunk titles do. Something deep is going on here between what is and what appears to be. It almose seems like something from a movie, a scene where you have a girl screaming at a guy with a guilty secret in front of a group of people whom she believes deserve to know the truth... "tell it like it is! tell them!" The song changes its mood from ominous to violent to soft several times. I just enjoy it for the musical euphony it is. You could go with a lot of theories on this one from what i just said to maybe, a kidnapping victim escaping. Thinking too much about a song ruins it... just listen in awe like the mortal you are ;). The certain type of person is probably a liar. | |

| I think it is about incest and the guilty conscience that comes with it. | |

| After a few listenings, I came up with a theory. I snooped around the internet to see if this theory was valid at all, but I'm either not too good at looking for this stuff, or didn't try hard enough. So here's the theory - It's about abuse and its consequences. Charlie is actually mentioned only once throughout the song, but it doesn't say that much. Even so, I'd say Charlie likes to abuse. Or likeD - She's awake, while Charlie "sleeps". In that sense, it could very well be a reminiscent piece. Song about a past, and what it's like now. She's supposed to "tell it like it is", but it's no easy task when the subject is something so personal; so deeply emotional and vulgar. After I looked up the meaning for "Charlie Big Potato" on wikipedia, I found out it's also used as slang (originally British) to say "Give it your Charlie Big Potatoes!". It's supposed to be a kind of substitute for "giving your best", and is arguably derived from male testicles. Which, to a degree, supports the abuse theory... So who is Charlie anyway? A father? A brother? Lover? Or is he just fictional? He might not even have anything to do with Skin to begin with, yet... The song is sung so earnestly I wouldn't dare say he isn't. | |
