Raw raw is about the fear of catching feelings for someone, the fear of being exposed and vulnerable due to the emotions one feels towards a certain person.
[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
[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
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

‘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?
