Nothing Scars Me
Hatebreed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lies and the mouths that birth them, sworn to abide
Cutting the lifeless pieces, rotted by time
Strangled by shadows in the coldest light
Nothing you say scares me anymore
Nothing, scars me
Nothing, scars me
Nothing fucking scars me
Reminding acceptance
Of matters I'll never control
So save me your venom
Your time is served better
Saving what's left of your soul
You told me what was never said
You showed me who was hopelessly done wrong
Those visions came to pass
Those needles tears are gone
You'll never scar what's inside
Now I'm the one who decides
Reminding acceptance
Of matters I'll never control
So save me your venom
Your time is served better
Saving what's left of your soul
Now revel in blindness
Digging and digging yourself into another hole
Now heaven takes the pieces
You tried to hide them now this dies inside them
Nothing you say scars me anymore
Nothing, scars me
Nothing, scars me
Nothing, scars me
Nothing fucking scars me
Nothing, scars me
Nothing, scars me
Nothing, scars me
Nothing fucking scars me
Nothing, scars me
Nothing, scars me
Nothing, scars me
Nothing fucking scars me
Nothing you say scars me anymore
The lyrics of "Nothing Scars Me" by Hatebreed express a sense of emotional detachment and resilience towards negativity. The opening lines paint a picture of life in its gruesome reality, filled with lies and deceit. The singer is tired of being hurt and manipulated by these lies and has become immune to them. They have come to accept that there are things they will never control and refuse to be affected by the negative words and actions of others.
The chorus serves as a powerful repetition of the main message of the song, emphasizing the singer's sense of invincibility towards the scars of the world. They refuse to be shackled by the past and are in control of their own emotions and reactions. The second verse follows a pattern similar to the first, with a focus on acceptance, self-preservation and refusal to be drawn into the toxic behavior of others. The bridge highlights the idea of karma, warning those who try to hurt others that their actions will ultimately come back to haunt them.
The overall message of the song is one of empowerment and self-belief, encouraging the listener to take control of their own narrative and to not be swayed by the negativity of others. It is a call to develop a sense of inner strength and resilience and to reject the notion that their worth is in any way tied to the opinions of others.
