In a negative manner, “You annoy the hell out of me or I despise you/loathe you”
“Under my skin” is another fine example of a figure of speech, mainly because it would be impossible to litterally get under someone’s skin. Figures of speech, metaphores and allegories are abundant in English and many things have double meanings.
So, if it’s not possible, it’s just a figure of speech 🙂
The be “in someone’s skin” is to mean to see/feel/think as that person would. If you were in my skin, you’d see things the way i would.
To get under someone’s skin is to be really intimate and close with someone.
or it can also mean that when you get under someone’s skin that you’re being really really irritating to them.
But when you feel like you are “in someone elses skin” that means you understand what it’s like to be that person–you empathize with him.
“To feel someone under the skin” isn’t a common English phrase, but the songwriter probably means to be really close to a person, to be intimate with her, maybe in a sexual way.
‘To get under someone’s skin’ means to annoy or irritate them.
