Scar Issue
Embracing Life's Beauty Beyond Scars
Lyrics
Today feels like it might be the wrong day for me to die
Expressing a feeling that today is not the right day for the speaker to face death.
I've been spending too much time believing in self-created lies
Acknowledging a tendency to believe in self-deceptive or misleading thoughts.
And words are just words, until they're put in to work
Highlighting the transformative power of putting words into action.
And I'm standing so firm in this, firm in this
Stressing the speaker's strong commitment to a particular belief or stance.
Leave a mark upon the world, not across your arms
Encouraging leaving a positive impact on the world rather than resorting to self-harm (cutting).
A mark upon the world too beautiful for scars
Emphasizing that making a mark on the world is more beautiful than physical scars.
I can only hold up half the sky at one time
Acknowledging limitations and the ability to support others only to a certain extent.
And I got through today so I could help you sleep at night
Enduring challenges today to bring comfort to someone else's sleep.
I feel a tired in my eyes trying to find the sunrise
Expressing fatigue and the difficulty of finding hope or positivity.
And I'm learning that life is getting through the night
Recognizing that life involves navigating through difficult times and overcoming obstacles.
Leave a mark upon the world, not across your arms
Reiterating the importance of leaving a positive impact on the world rather than resorting to self-harm.
A mark upon the world too beautiful for scars
Highlighting the beauty of making a mark on the world instead of bearing scars.
I understand you
Expressing empathy and understanding toward someone else's struggles or experiences.
A track record of track marks
Referring to a history of drug abuse, as "track marks" commonly signify needle injection scars.
A small collection of stories
Describing a collection of untold stories, possibly reflecting on personal experiences.
That never get told again
Highlighting the silence surrounding certain experiences that may never be shared again.
I understand you
Reiterating empathy and understanding towards the challenges faced by others.
Take pride in all the marks upon your soul
Encouraging taking pride in the emotional and psychological scars that contribute to personal growth.
Oh, they should show you
Suggesting that these emotional scars should be recognized and appreciated for the strength they represent.
You've been through a hell of a life alone
Acknowledging and validating the difficult life experiences someone has faced alone.
Leave a mark upon the world, not across your arms
Reiterating the importance of leaving a positive impact on the world instead of engaging in self-harm.
A mark upon the world too beautiful for scars
Emphasizing that the mark left on the world is more beautiful than physical scars.
