Counting Scars
Gabz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lately I been, I been losing sleep
Dreaming about how evil I could be
But Villains, I been, I been tryin' hard
It's tough to climb the ladder
When you're counting Scars
Yeah, we'll be counting Scars
I see this life
Like a line of thread
Build your evil til you're dead
always conscious of my cred
Losing is what I dread
Cruella DeVil
Old, but I'm not that old
Evil, but I'm not that cold
And I might never wear the gold
He scares me, breaks the mold
Jafar
I feel I am the best
At doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
When He does the worst thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Every time I try, Scar makes me wanna cry
All Villains: Chorus
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about how evil I could be
But Villains, I been, I been tryin' hard (hey!)
It's tough to climb the ladder
When you're counting Scars
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about how evil I could be
But Villains, I been, I been tryin' hard (hey!)
Said no more counting puppies (Cruella De Vil)
We'll be, we'll be counting Scars
Evil Queen
I feel his eyes
Round every turn
How can he be so stern?
Fear is his four letter word
He's so Evil!
Need to learn
Captain Hook
Gold? Yeah got that gold
Pan? No I'm not that bold
Evil is the hand I hold
If He's playin then I fold
Ursula
I think he is the best
at doing the wrong thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Every look he gives me makes me wanna sigh…
Scar
Lately I been, I been gettin sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about how evil I could be
Villains, I been, I been tryin' hard
Said no more climbing ladders
I am the king Scar.
All Villains: Chorus
Lately I been, I been losing sleep (hey!)
Dreaming about how evil I could be
But villains, I been, I been tryin' hard (hey!)
It's tough to climb the ladder
We'll be, we are counting Scars!
"Counting Scars" is a song by Gabz that talks about the lives of various Disney movie villains, all of whom are counting the scars they have earned as they pursue their quests to become the most evil villain in the land. The song’s metaphorical meaning is profound – the lyrics describe the harsh and grim realities of the world, where people strive to become the best, even if it comes at the cost of others.
The song also portrays the emotions and desires of different villains through its verses. For instance, Cruella wants to break out of the mold, Captain Hook wants to hold onto evil, and Ursula is fascinated by Scar’s character. The chorus hints at the competitive nature between the villains as they all aspire to become the best at being evil. They try to outdo each other by counting their scars, thereby emphasizing how being wicked is often glamorized.
In summary, the song encourages the listener to break away from the cycle of wanting to be the best at the expense of others. Rather than reaching for the stars by climbing up a ladder made of scars, one can always aim to be the best version of themselves without stepping on others on the way up.
Line by Line Meaning
Maleficent
I've been losing sleep lately, dreaming about how evil I could be. But being a villain is hard work and it's especially difficult to climb the ranks when you're always competing with other villains.
Hades
I see life like a line of thread. You have to keep building your evil empire until you die. Your reputation is everything and losing is unacceptable.
Cruella DeVil
I may be getting old, but I'm not that cold-hearted. I don't care about winning gold medals, but I'm afraid of Scar because they're unpredictable.
Jafar
I'm the best at doing the wrong thing, but even I feel like Scar takes things too far. I can't help but feel guilty about some of the evils I've committed when I see what Scar is capable of.
Evil Queen
Scar's always watching me, lurking around every corner. He's so stern and makes me so scared. I need to figure out how to outdo him.
Captain Hook
I may have a lot of gold, but I'm not brave enough to take on Peter Pan. I hold evil close, but I know when I'm outmatched.
Ursula
I think Jafar is the best at doing wrong, but Scar's looks make me feel something I can't explain. I can't seem to look away.
Scar
I'm finally getting some rest lately, and I'm dreaming about how much more evil I could be. I'm the king here, and I don't need to climb any more ladders.
Chorus
All the villains are losing sleep lately, dreaming about how they could ramp up their wicked ways. They're all trying hard to be the best, but it's tough to stand out when you're surrounded by other evils. They're not counting puppies, but focusing on the scars they'll leave behind.
