Discover the story of the song > Flesh Bone – Actors

The lyrics are about someone (referred to as 'she') who is violent and holds a position of power ('her throne'). The protagonist is warned not to be distracted by her and to leave her alone. They are told to wait for the night to come, to wait for her breath (presumably implying anticipation), and to wait for the silence inside their head. They are urged to hide in the darkness and answer her call (presumably referring to a dangerous situation). The lyrics repeat the phrase "It's only flesh and bone" several times, suggesting that despite the danger, the protagonist should remember that they are only human and vulnerable.
