Discover the story of the song > Skin Crawl – Alice Phoebe Lou

The protagonist is feeling disgusted and uncomfortable because someone is making her skin crawl. She doesn't need to smile to have fun and she doesn't exist for someone else's enjoyment. She doesn't need a reason to do what she wants, like going to a prince's ball. Right now, she is her own prince and doesn't need a man to do difficult things for her. She used to fall for the lies that men told her, but now she wants to stop going backwards. She wants to get rid of the ideas that men are better than women, so she's going to burn them in a fire. She's already started the fire in the backyard.
