Self Inflicted Lyrics

Remember when I dove
Into the crowd
And I got a bloody knee
Under my skin
A mark from wiping out
It brings back the memories
Every bone's been broken
And my heart is still wide open

I can't stop
Don't care if I lose
Baby you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
I'm going down in flames for you
Baby you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
One more thing I'm addicted too

With each scar there's a map
That tells a story
What a souvenir of Young
Love's like jumping out
An airplane riding a tidal
Wave on an ocean of emotion
My heart rips me wide open

I can't stop
Don't care if I lose
Baby you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
I'm going down in flames for you
Baby you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
One more thing I'm addicted too

And I cover up these scars
(But no makeup can make up what we break up)
And I can't stop seeing stars
(And I get so knocked out)
Whenever you're around
Around

I can't stop
Don't care if I lose
Baby you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
I'm going down in flames for you
Baby you are the weapon I choose
These wounds are self inflicted
One more thing I'm addicted too

I can't stop no I can't stop
No I can't stop
Oh I'm going out in flames
Oh I'm going down in flames
Oh
Baby you are the weapon I choose
Baby you are the weapon I choose

One of my favourite songs of all time.

Cover art for Self Inflicted lyrics by Katy Perry

the guy she was with hurt her so much, she's left with so many scars from their pervious relationship but she loves him so much, she doesnt care if the relationship doesnt work she wants him again and again. he's her "weapon" because he hurts her.

The line "We’ll make it we’ll make it but we break it" indicates that this isn't their first time getting back together.

well my oppinion on the song is different from all yours but,,

i think its about cutting yourself. self inflicted wounds? the cutts. choosing your wepon? love, representing the razor. brings back memories? of why she did it. addicted too? once you do it, it becomes addicting. evry SCAR has a story? of why you did it. covering the scars? dont care if i loose?

really must i go on with this because i think i made my piont here. but i think its about cutting so thats my oppinion so take that how you want.

Catchy song!

Haha ok. This is what I think it means, Im probably totally wrong but whatever.

I think it means that she will choose the guy no matter what, "I cant stop, dont care if i lose."she realizes that their relationship will only be in the good in the way that they love each other. she knows that itll mess everything else up hence "im going down in flames for you."

i dont know. thats just what i think.

I agree with Cardiophobiac :)

Awesome song. I think this song means that she's going to take a chance on love, and if it doesn't work out then she created the wounds, but she won't let past heartaches get in her way of finding love.

Kay so I might be wrong..

But I think she's also saying that she knows she'll get hurt by any guy anyways. And she always falls for guys, and also ends up getting hurt; "These wounds are self-inflicted, one more thing I'm addicted to", but she chooses THIS guy to be the one that'll hurt her; "Baby you are the weapon I choose". And she really loves him; "I'm going down in flames for you"..

omg. STORY OF MY LIFE

Cover art for Self Inflicted lyrics by Katy Perry

i really think this song is about a girl that's not with the guy. they fuck but there's nothing more than that. she know what she's in for but the feeling is so good that the reprecutions are wounds that eventually leave scars...

I can’t stop Don’t care if I lose< to know what it feels like is bittersweet bc u get what u want but then you feel the aftershock and it makes the situation not just feel like a weapon but also a drug...one that u can't get enough of...and no matter how much u get u still want more. katie

i can kinda see this too. that really does make sense now that i think about it.

I don't agree with GodsGunsAndGlory, because one line talks about young love, and hs esays "baby' a lot, which I doubt is religious in this situation.
