Jack Moy & Glöden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
up to five in our sleep tonight
oh oh oh
and there's no time for us
no one to trust and nothing to do around here
oh oh oh
take me back to who we used to be
to who we used meet when life was so easy
let's go out tonight
when life is what it should be
sweet scars on our arms
reminds us who we are
reminds us who we are
reminds us who we are
sweet scars heavy heart
reminds us who we are
reminds us who we are
reminds us who we are
na na na na na na
and i will not back down
not right now and not this time
oh oh oh
and i fuck things up
let me start again i'll play to win this time
oh oh oh
take me back to who we used to be
to who we used meet when life was so easy
that we were working nine to five
let's go out tonight
when life is what it should be
sweet scars on our arms
reminds us who we are
reminds us who we are
reminds us who we are
sweet scars heavy heart
reminds us who we are
reminds us who we are
reminds us who we are
na na na na na na
went for ... to hanna to emily
had a fallout with laura but now it's just me
too many woman but not enough wine
they made their choices and i made mine
oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
na na na na na na
oh oh
na na na na
oh oh
nana nanana
oh oh oh
sweet scars on our arms
reminds us who we are
reminds us who we are
reminds us who we are
sweet scars heavy heart
reminds us who we are
reminds us who we are
reminds us who we are
The lyrics to Jack Moy & Glöden's song Scars describe a feeling of nostalgia and longing for times when life was simpler and easier, before the responsibilities of adulthood set in. The first few lines talk about working hard until 5 in the morning, with no time to relax and nothing to do. The chorus then pleads to be taken back to a previous time, to a past version of themselves when they had less stress and more freedom. The "sweet scars on our arms" serve as a reminder of who they are, perhaps symbolizing the experiences and hardships they have gone through that have shaped their identity. In the second verse, the singer expresses a desire to start over and make things right, to "play to win this time". The song closes with a list of names, suggesting that the scars and memories they carry with them come from relationships and interactions with various people in their lives.
Overall, the lyrics to Scars convey a sense of wistfulness and reflection, as well as a determination to move forward and create a brighter future.
