About This Track

SYML's 'Body' moves through physical and emotional constraint with quiet intensity. The song frames the body as a site of conflict, something to be negotiated with and fought through. Verses establish a pattern of internal struggle, whilst the chorus pivots toward a plea for patience and a second chance, as though the speaker is asking permission to inhabit themselves differently. The production stays sparse, letting the vocal sit at the centre, and the lyrical repetition of "give my new body a chance" becomes both vulnerable and insistent. There's a tension between wanting to love and feeling unequal to it, between the desire to build something and the weight of self-doubt. The bridge strips back further, invoking a twisted internal landscape before the outro returns to that central refrain. It's a song about acceptance and the slow work of learning to live inside your own skin, framed not as triumph but as a modest, hard-won possibility.

"Body" is a track by SYML, from the album In My Body - EP, released 10th January 2018. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Body

[Verse 1]

In my body, I have a master

I bow down when she comes around

In my body I'm a disaster

I break down when you shake the ground

Every time I stand to leave my cage

In my broken body, I stay

[Chorus]

I want to love like a man

I'll build you a home when I can

Give my new body a chance

Patient now it's all that I have

I fought the world for your hand

I fought the world for your hand

Give my new body a chance

Give my new body a chance

It's all I have

[Verse 2]

In my body, I fight fire

With the snow, my hell is cold

In my body I have a soft light

Burning low, but too hot to hold

I've become the only thing I hate

Leave this broken body today

[Chorus]

I want to love like a man

I'll build you a home when I can

Give my new body a chance

Patient now it's all that I have

I fought the world for your hand

I fought the world for your hand

Give my new body a chance

Love, give my new body a chance

[Bridge]

I was hearing words in black and white

Twisted up inside my broken mind

Outstretched dirty hands just like a child

Hungry little fool, but you were mine

You're all I have

You're all I have

[Outro]

Give my new body a chance

Give my new body a chance
