Scars
Basement Jaxx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blind spots, voices
Controls gone, I'm like a balloon
Cut it out, emotion
Distance, it grows now
You don't, reach for me
All I got, all I got
Save me give me wings to fly
Make me young reason to fight
Suddenly we'll cross a home
Remember me into the night
Kiss me then I'll wake up
Kiss me then I'll wake up
Kiss me then I'll wake up
Kiss me then I'll wake up
Kiss me then I'll wake up
Fairy tales make up
Headlight, black demons
Peering in my hollow core
Grudges they're strangling
and splinters and dry skin
Streetlights they see me
The whole world will reach for me
All I got, all I got
Is my scars
Save me give me wings to fly
Make me young reason to fight
Suddenly we'll cross a home
Remember me into the night
Kiss me then I'll wake up
Kiss me then I'll wake up
Kiss me then I'll wake up
Kiss me then I'll wake up
Kiss me then I'll wake up
Fairy tales make up
I'll kiss then you'll wake up
Don't want to meet your maker
And you don't believe in fairy tales
Well today I'm gonna make ya
'Cause I've come here to save ya
Finna none of that miss I'ma take ya
I can rap I can rhyme like karma
Be your night in armor
Oh no I ain't got no Porsche
Just give me a shield and a sword and a horse
And I'll come ridin' ridin' ridin'
Give me a little one on the back
I'ma tell a lie and get you on back
I'ma tell a lie and get you on back
It's gone right from fiction to fact
I'm gonna take you out this world
Kiss me then I'll wake up
Kiss me then I'll wake up
Kiss me then I'll wake up
Kiss me then I'll wake up
Kiss me then I'll wake up
Fairy tales make up
Kiss me
Kiss me
Kiss me
Kiss me
Kiss me
Fairy tales make up
The song "Scars" by Basement Jaxx explores the feelings of disconnection and loneliness that come with losing control and feeling trapped. The opening lines "Coming loose, at the seams / Blind spots, voices" set the tone for the song, with the singer feeling like they are losing grip on their reality. The repetitious phrase "Kiss me then I'll wake up" reinforces this feeling of wanting to escape the situation they find themselves in.
The chorus, "Save me give me wings to fly / Make me young reason to fight / Suddenly we'll cross a home / Remember me into the night" suggests a longing for youth and freedom, and the hope that something or someone can rescue them from their current state. The sense of isolation continues with the lines "Distance, it grows now / You don't, reach for me / All I got, all I got / Is my scars", highlighting the lack of human connection.
The rap verse signifies a change in narrative voice and introduces a potential savior figure. The lyrics suggest that the singer does not believe in fairy tales or the idea of a knight in shining armor, but this new character is determined to come to the rescue regardless. The repetition of "Kiss me" throughout the song can be interpreted as a plea for connection, a desire to be seen and understood.
Overall, the lyrics of "Scars" evoke a sense of desperation and longing for connection, as well as a desire to escape from a difficult situation.
