i believe this is the first Zao song i ever heard... i bought the Cheapskates Harder Side CD like 4 years ago, and "Scars" was on it... i hadn't really been introduced to anything really metalcore or hardcore before, and Dan's intense growl-scream changed my life forever... LoL... outsyder101 has again hit the bull's eye by copy/pasting an interview with Dan... and yes Master Yoda, Dan is a genius... he is an incredible lyricist, one of the best i've come across... i don't understand the first few lines really well, but the line about the hooks means that his (the rapist) words/lies hurt her and stayed beneath her skin to bother her, and "as he shone..." means that he still looked like a Saint to everyone because no one believed he could do it, so he was still perfect in their eyes... "cradled..." could be literal or figurative about her lying on the ground and "isolation..." means that when he (the rapist) and she were alone is when his true motivations were revealed... it's pretty self-explanatory and very poetic...
