Scarred
City Lights and Broken Dreams: Unveiling the Emotional Journey in Kevin Rudolf's 'Scarred'
Lyrics
She came from a small town
She originates from a small town.
Hypnotized by the big city life
She is fascinated or captivated by the allure of big city life.
She came looking for a piece of action
She came to the city seeking excitement or adventure.
All She got was the big city life
Instead, she only experiences the challenges and complexities of urban life.
She tried to convince herself
She attempts to convince herself that her current situation is leading to something positive.
This was leading somewhere
Similar to the anticipation on the last day of school, but the expected outcome is not met.
Just like on the last day of school
People she anticipated meeting or finding are no longer there when she arrives.
They were gone by the time she got there
She's like "Wooooah" I finally found my place
She expresses excitement about finding her place in the city.
And I'm like "Wooooah" this girl can't keep them boys away
Others notice her attractiveness, and she becomes a center of attention for boys.
And she say's "Nooo", see I used to have dreams
She denies having dreams, indicating a loss of aspirations.
But I cashed in something long ago, that I can't redeem
She traded or sacrificed something valuable in the past, which cannot be recovered.
Once you are, just another cut away
Once you undergo a certain experience, it leaves a lasting mark or impact.
Now your scarred, and these scars won't fade
She is now marked or scarred, and these scars are permanent.
I still know, you don't get something for nothing
There are consequences for actions, and success comes with a price.
Without giving up your soul
Success often requires sacrificing one's principles or moral values.
She got the get it look
She has a certain look or demeanor that attracts attention, possibly a seductive one.
With the drink in her hand
She holds a drink, indicating a coping mechanism or escape from reality.
And she feels like no one
Despite the attention, she feels lonely or disconnected.
She tries to put the past behind her
She attempts to move on from her past but is haunted by unresolved issues.
But she still owes him
She still owes someone, possibly referring to emotional debts or unresolved relationships.
If I ever get out of this place, things will be different
Expressing a desire for change if given the opportunity to leave her current situation.
She still hides at the bottom of the bottle
Despite the desire for change, she continues to rely on substances to cope.
And cries when she looks in the mirror
When facing herself in the mirror, she experiences emotional pain.
She's like "Wooooh" am I looking at myself
She questions her own identity or actions when looking at herself.
And I'm like "Wooooah" I don't see nobody else
The speaker acknowledges her uniqueness and doesn't see anyone else comparable.
And she say's "Nooo", that's the price I paid
She rejects the idea of having dreams and emphasizes the cost she paid for her current situation.
And it'll cost me my life just to get out of the game
Getting out of her current situation might cost her life, emphasizing the severity of her circumstances.
Once you are, just another cut away
Reiteration of the idea that certain experiences leave permanent marks or scars.
Now your scarred, and these scars won't fade
Emphasis on the lasting impact of scars that do not fade away.
I still know, you don't get something for nothing
Reiterating the theme that success comes with a price, often involving sacrifices.
Without giving up your soul
Highlighting the necessity of giving up something significant to achieve success.
Once you are, just another cut away
