| Red Hot Chili Peppers – Scar Tissue Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| my interpretation comes completly from personal belief and experiance i am 17 years old and straight out of rehab for a 3 year addiction to herion and perscription pain killers this song hits the heart for me i believe the first line (scar tissue that i wish you saw) represtents his wish for people to see what he has been through due to his addiction and when you shoot up it leaves scar tissue a physical reminder permantetly attached to your apperance to show someone means its real and it has happened. the second line (sarcastic mister know it all) is his way of feeling towards the still suffering addict im the same way sometimes when it comes to my friends that still use i pretend to know it all including everything that has to do with using and getting clean. the third line (close your eyes and ill kiss you ) meaning dont judge me for my past or my scars and ill love you always. the bridge (with the birds ill share this lonely view) represents the feeling of lonliness and emptyness while using its all most like looking down at the world and seeing everything but not really feeling it any emotions what soever numbness. (push me up against the wall young kentucky girl in a push up bra) is when he falls in love with this girl. (falling all over myself) i think represents his self obsession that comes along with being an addict and most addicts believe that to be truely close to someone your love has to do what you do (to lick your heart) and she appearently wasnt an addict at the time but he wanted her abstinence( to taste your health). (blood loss in a bathroom stall southern girl with a scarlet drawl) stands for the first time she shot up must have been in a bathroom cuz the bathroom is the junkies best friend a scarlet drawl is to see the blood seep into the needle like a fountain from the vain its a beautiful but evil thing. her loss of innocence is to (say goodbye to Ma and Pa). (soft spoken with a broken jaw) he wants her to quit but cant say much considering he does it to. he has to leave her so maybe shell go back to the way she was but he doesnt want to fight or hurt her (step outside but not to brawl). Herion is so sweet it is the most incredible feeling imagine someone covering your body with warm honey starting at you head and you feel it trickle down to your toes but it is a down fall of life it can destroy everything you have and everything you are( autums sweet but we call it fall). a true junkie will do anything and everything to get their fix (ill make it to the moon if i have to crawl) like i said mostly all of this is from personal experiance but from the words of one recovering addict to another this is what this song represents in my own words. | |
