MISSY HIGGINS

- Scar Lyrics

He left a card, a bar of soap and a scrubbing brush next to a note
That said "use these down to your bones"
And before I knew I had shiny skin and it felt easy being clean like him
I thought "this one knows better than I do"

A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
He tried to cut me so I'd fit

And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could've gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?
And so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?

So the next one came with a bag of treats, she smelled like sugar and
spoke like the sea
And she told me don't trust them, trust me
Then she pulled at my stitches one by one, looked at my insides clicking
her tongue and said
"This will all have to come undone"

A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
She tried to blunt me so I'd fit

And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?
And so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?

I think I realized just in time, although my old self was hard to find
You can bathe me in your finest wine but I'll never give you mine
'Cos I'm a little bit tired of fearing that I'll be the bad fruit nobody buys
Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same?

And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone?
And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?
And so that I do remember to never go that far,
Could you leave me with a scar?
Could you leave me with a scar?

What is the meaning behind Scar lyrics?


When we interpret the meaning being expressed, the track 'Scar' from Missy Higgins is a metaphorical representation of the hard moments when people have to undergo the influence and manipulation of others, resulting in a battle within oneself, and the fear of not being the true self anymore. It signifies the battle to choose between the popular people and the less popular ones, the high and the low classes and the need to define one's position to keep apart one's identity and originality. The song lyrics significantly draw the audience's attention towards the feelings of despair, longing, reflecting back, and socieal commentary. In the same breath, the song conveys the main message of self-identity and acceptance, trust and betrayal, fear of being not good enough and the multiplying effects of relationships. The lyrics depict personal struggle and emotional pain, which may not be appropriate for children younger than 13. The metaphor of slicing and the reference to scars can be taken as hints towards emotional problems that could be viewed as very strong or adult-like and hence the necessity of the PG-13 rating.
