Red Hot Chili Peppers – Otherside Lyrics 16 years ago
Towards the end, he changes the lyrics a bit and says "I don't believe it's sad", instead of saying bad as in the rest of the song.

Also, my interpretation, sort of neglects the first para, except perhaps as an introduction to her assailant. That is the best I can do for the first para.

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Scar Tissue Lyrics 16 years ago
I did not have the patience to go through all the 229 comments, so I will just throw my 2 cents in.

I don't think the protagonist of this song is male. For reasons I will elaborate, I think it is the "young kentucky girl".

I believe the song is about rape. I could be wrong, but it makes more sense than being about self-hurt.

"Blood loss in a bathroom stall
Southern girl with a scarlet drawl"

I think the girl leaves her comfort zone, her parents, her home and leaves for "greener pastures" and while still vulnerable, trusts a guy who takes advantage of her naivety.

There is one assumption I do make (which I realize) which is, that the song isn't narrative, so the timelines bend, so as she leaves the bathroom stall, drenched in her own blood, she recalls leaving home, etc.

I just came up with this, and I would really appreciate some constructive criticism, rather than "You are a retard" comments. Those are welcome too, though.

I don't think this is Mustaine singing about Burton, simply because it is sung from the point of view of the person that is dying. Hence I think you are actually right, inspite of all the name calling.
