Raw Raw Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lyin' awake, naked in bed
Thoughts of your body runnin' through my head
It's hard to escape the wounds of the past
Every time I say somethin' real, I wanna take it back

[Pre-Chorus]
Sensitive, I'm peelin' back my skin

[Chorus]
You got me raw, raw
So emotional
Raw, raw
Oh, I feel exposed
Chainsaw
Buzzin' at my throat
Pressure buildin' up inside my chest
You pulled the stitches out again
I feel the feelings creepin' in

[Post-Chorus]
You got me raw, raw
Raw, raw
Raw

[Verse 2]
I came up from the depths of hell with a golf club in my hand
You disarmed me, no defense, my armor turned to sand
It's hard to escape the wounds of the past
Every time I feel somethin' real, I wanna take it back

[Chorus]
You got me raw, raw
So emotional
Raw, raw
Oh, I feel exposed
Chainsaw
Buzzin' at my throat
Pressure buildin' up inside my chest
You pulled the stitches out again
I feel the feelings creepin' in

[Post-Chorus]
You got me raw, raw
Raw, raw
Chainsaw
Raw, raw

[Bridge]
Cold in your warm embrace
It's salt in my open veins
Control, I'm relinquishin'
Sensitive, I'm peelin' back my skin
(Raw, raw)
(Raw, raw)

[Chorus]
You got me raw, raw
So emotional
Raw, raw
Oh, I feel exposed
Chainsaw
Buzzin' at my throat
Pressure buildin' up inside my chest
You pulled the stitches out again
I feel the feelings creepin' in

What did K.Flay say about "Raw Raw"?

Genius Answer

‘Raw Raw’ is the start of my next chapter. After losing half my hearing last fall, I was faced with a sudden and intense episode of fear and vulnerability. Like, could I even make music again? Once I got into my recovery and started writing and recording, I knew that I could. And what I wanted to create was music that felt properly rock but also properly future oriented. Uninhibited and different. “With ‘Raw Raw’ I wanted to capture what vulnerability really feels like. Outwardly it might seem tender, but on the inside it’s messy and bloody and somewhat terrifying. It’s a chainsaw buzzing at your throat.
