Basement Jaxx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blind spots, voices
Control's 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 your reason to fight
Suddenly we'll cross a home
Remember me into the morn
Kiss me then I'll wake up (x5)
Fairy tales make up
Headlights, black demons
Peering in my hollow core
Grudges they're strangling
On 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 your reason to fight
Suddenly we'll cross a home
Remember me into the night
Kiss me then I'll wake up (x5)
Fairy tales make up
I'll kiss you then you'll wake up
Don't want you to meet your maker
And you don't believe in fairy tales
Well truly I'm gonna make ya
Cause I've come here to save ya
Finna none of that miss I'mma take ya
I can rap I can rhyme like karma
Be your knight in shining 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'mma turn around and get you on back
I'mma turn around and get you on back
It's gone right from fiction to a fact
I'm gonna take you out this world, oh!
Kiss me then I'll wake up (x5)
Fairy tales make up
Kiss me (x5)
Fairy tales make up
The lyrics to the song Scars, by Basement Jaxx featuring Kelis, describe a feeling of detachment and disconnection from a relationship that is falling apart. The first verse references the feeling of losing control - the person feels like a balloon that is about to burst. This is likely a metaphor for the overwhelming emotions they are experiencing. They have cut off their emotions as a way to cope with the situation, but this has caused them to detach from their partner.
The second verse refers to the isolation that has developed between the two people. The person feels like their partner is distant and no longer reaching out for them. All they have left are their emotional scars from the relationship.
The chorus is a plea for help and connection. The person wants their partner to save them, give them wings to fly and make them a reason to fight. They imagine a future where the two of them will be together again and make it through their struggles. The repetition of "kiss me then I'll wake up" suggests that this person is willing to do anything to be close to their partner again, even if it's just in their dreams.
Overall, the song is about the breakdown of a relationship and the longing for connection and reconciliation. It speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and the desire to hold onto something that has slipped away.

Coming loose, at the seams
I feel like I'm falling apart
Blind spots, voices
I can't see clearly and my own thoughts are distracting me
Control's gone, I'm like a balloon
I feel out of control and like I'm floating aimlessly
Cut it out, emotion
I need to stop feeling so much and start thinking logically
Distance, it grows now
Our relationship is getting further apart
You don't, reach for me
You aren't trying to connect with me anymore
All I got, all I got
The only thing I have left is
Is my scars
The marks left on my heart from our failed relationship
Save me give me wings to fly
I need help to move on from this pain
Make me your reason to fight
I want to be the motivation for you to keep trying
Suddenly we'll cross a home
We will find a place where we belong together
Remember me into the morn
Think of me in the morning when you wake up
Kiss me then I'll wake up (x5)
Give me love and I will feel alive again
Fairy tales make up
Fantasies can become our reality
Headlights, black demons
The lights on the road are ominous to me
Peering in my hollow core
I feel empty and exposed
Grudges they're strangling
Holding onto the past is suffocating me
On splinters and dry skin
The pain is becoming physically felt in my body
Streetlights, they see me
I feel like everyone is watching me
The whole world will reach for me
I want to be noticed and loved by others
I'll kiss you then you'll wake up
I will show you love and wake you up from your emotional slumber
Don't want you to meet your maker
I don't want you to die without experiencing true love
And you don't believe in fairy tales
You don't have hope that things can work out between us
Well truly I'm gonna make ya
I will prove to you that our love can be real
Cause I've come here to save ya
I am here to heal your heart and make it whole again
Finna none of that miss I'mma take ya
I won't let anything stand in the way of us being together
I can rap I can rhyme like karma
I'm confident and capable of winning you over with my talents
Be your knight in shining armor
I will protect and care for you
Oh no I ain't got no Porsche
I may not have material things, but I have love to offer
Just give me a shield and a sword and a horse
All I need to conquer our problems is courage and determination
And I'll come ridin' ridin' ridin'
I will come to rescue you no matter what
Give me a little one on the back
I want my loved one to accompany me on this journey
I'mma turn around and get you on back
I will come back for you no matter what
It's gone right from fiction to a fact
Our love story is no longer just a daydream
I'm gonna take you out this world, oh!
We will escape the pain of our past and start a new life together

First heard this song about 10 years ago in a Red Bull skiing video at an outdoor store. I cannot for the LIFE of me find the video but this song still slaps so so hard.
