Scratch Your Name Lyrics
Inside spotlight, fire is burning in my eyes In 2025 there'll be fantasy costumes for your psyche We had a deal we had a sign we had a deal that was broken I'm not fooling around, fooling around, Over hills under ground break it open
Scratch your name
Into the fabric
Of this world
Before you go
The skin will tear
Under the pressure
Make it deep
So it always shows
In a trance petrified to dance
You wait in the wings for your curtain call On your marks come on, get set go People defend your sovereignty We had a deal, you were divine We had a deal that was no King I'm not fooling around, Mr merry go round Or convulse on the floor like a rabid
Scratch your name
As true as love is insane
Scratch your name
Into the fabric
Of this world
Before you go
The skin will tear
Under the pressure
Make it deep
So it always shows
(X3)
Into the fabric

Before you go
The skin will tear
Under the pressure
Make it deep
So it always shows
You wait in the wings for your curtain call On your marks come on, get set go People defend your sovereignty We had a deal, you were divine We had a deal that was no King I'm not fooling around, Mr merry go round Or convulse on the floor like a rabid
As true as love is insane
Into the fabric
Of this world
Before you go
The skin will tear
Under the pressure
Make it deep
So it always shows

awesome song, i think this song is about leaving a mark into this world before you go (die) doing something big that would help a lot of people
the lead singer kinda reminds me of regina spektor a bit.. great song! definitely agree that it has to do with making a difference in the world..
Shingai is big on that kind of stuff, she talks about making a change in music and people and how she wants to be known and The Noisettes want to be known.
Shingai's voice kinda reminds me of Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. And this song is clearly about leaving a mark on the world, making a difference.
