Scars

This song, geez, it's just so amazingly beautiful and emotional that I always feel the need to cry at the end. I'll forever love it.

Anna actually explained the whole meaning of the song in a concert a few months back (there is a video on youtube). She said that she went through a period of 'self-infliction', and was to a point where she looked in the mirror and saw herself. She then spoke to herself and told herself all the things she needed to hear for her to get through the pain and sorrow. That's what this song is about, the words she needed to hear to tell herself that she'll be alright.

She said that the song leaked onto youtube, and it became pretty popular, and that a fan wrote to her and said that the song helped her to stop her own self-infliction. The song had become her own song just as much as Anna's. At that point, Anna decided that the song was just too powerful to keep to herself, so she recorded it for her album for others to hear. That's a pretty good story to go along with such a gorgeous song. <3
