"He Took His Skin Off For Me"

                "He Took His Skin Off For Me" portrays a deep and hidden message about love: that if you want someone to love you, you have to show them that same amount of love in return.  The woman expected the man to give everything he had to her, he gave up his skin, but she was not willing to do the same for him.  Love does not work this way.  It is a give and take kind of relationship.

                 Her unwillingness to reciprocate his love for her caused him to grown unhappy and resentful of the sacrifice that he had made for his beloved.  He became completely vulnerable to her, barring his inmost self to the world, but she still did not return this love like he desired.  She ignored the fact that his job was suffering, that he had lost his friends, and that he was in agony from the lack of protection from the cold.  She saw him looking at his skin, wishing he could put it back on, but still selfishly held on to the sacrifice he was making, unwilling to show her love in an act of similar magnitude.  You cannot expect someone to give himself/herself to you unless you are ready to completely give yourself to that person as well.
