Scar
Before the Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nails in my spinal cord
Acid burns inside my veins
Blood creating stains
Limbs with broken bones inside
Tearing my flesh
Penetrating through my skin
I cannot feel a thing
Peeling my skin
Revealing tissues underneath
Taste the blood while I breath
Limbs with broken bones inside
Tearing my flesh
Penetrating through my skin
I cannot feel a thing
Can't recognize myself
So torn apart
The scars and burning marks
On my skin while the real pain
Hurts deep within
The lyrics of Before the Dawn's song Scar describe the physical and emotional pain the singer is feeling. The vivid and graphic language of "needles in my nerves," "nails in my spinal cord," and "limbs with broken bones inside" create a visceral image of the torture the singer is enduring. The writer also uses "acid burns inside my veins" and "penetrating through my skin" to convey the internal torment that is causing the physical symptoms.
As the song progresses, the singer shares their feelings of being disconnected from themselves, unable to recognize the person they see in the mirror due to the scars and pain. The line "the scars and burning marks on my skin while the real pain hurts deep within" suggests that beneath the surface trauma, there is an even deeper emotional pain that the singer is experiencing.
Overall, the lyrics of Scar paint a picture of intense physical and emotional agony, with the singer feeling a profound disconnection from themselves due to the trauma they have endured.
