The song’s name is a reference to the phrase “skeleton in (someone’s) closet” which are secrets that people tend to keep.
This song is well known for being part of the FIFA 22 Soundtrack and being part of the commercial for the Kia Soul where Cartoon Skeletons are riding in a Kia Soul. (shown here)
[Intro]
Skeletons
[Verse 1]
I've been going out of my mind
'Cause you're giving way too much adrenaline, hold the line
I heard a little bump in the night
Although it's good on paper
On occasion we collide (we collide)
Skeletons
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm finding it hard to pass the time, without you (skeletons)
You spell it all out in black and white, I'm down
[Chorus]
You've got something dark that I like
But I can't quite put my pinkie on it
Got a good appetite for a bad reputation
[Post-Chorus]
But I don't wanna be just another one of your (skeletons)
Six feet deep like (skeletons)
Could've been so sweet but (skеletons)
Fasten your seatbеlts, call the police when I start to believe it (skeletons)
Everybody round here's got (skeletons)
Everybody round here's got (skeletons)
One at a time they all appear
[Verse 2]
Your cards close to your chest (chest)
You tell me that it's all for the best (best)
Just rumours, from losers
What I don't know can't hurt me I guess
I feel the need to question your past
Like how many exes you've had
Our future's all kombucha
But we never trust the weather forecast
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm finding it hard to pass the time, without you
You spell it all out in black and white, I'm down
[Chorus]
You've got something dark that I like
But I can't quite put my pinkie on it
Got a good appetite for a bad reputation
[Post-Chorus]
But I don't wanna be just another one of your (skeletons)
Six feet deep like (skeletons)
Could've been so sweet but (skeletons)
Fasten your seatbelts, call the police when I start to believe it (skeletons)
Everybody round here's got (skeletons)
Everybody round here's got (skeletons)
One at a time they all appear
[Interlude]
[Outro]
But I don't wanna be just another one of your skeletons
You're six feet deep like (skeletons)
Could've been so sweet but (skeletons)
Better fasten your seatbelts, call the police when I start to believe it (skeletons)
Everybody round here's got (skeletons)
Everybody round here's got (skeletons)
Everybody round here's got

“skeletons” plays with the idea of a slightly mysterious and potentially terrifying past. Everyone has baggage and everyone has skeletons. Falling head over heels with somebody who may be bad news, we’ve all been there.
‘ocean view’ and ‘skeletons’ are so different. We asked the mastering engineer to put the littlest space possible between the songs, because I thought it was cool to smash them together. It’s part of the journey of life’s a beach—now we’re into a different vibe entirely. It’s one of the only moments...
