Scars
Kiana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Piece by piece, silently sucking the life from me
Melancholic melody declines me into sleep
Until I open my eyes, I've lived in a lie
All of these scars in my head remind me of you
Hate and regret hand by hand
Striking memories of you
A flash from my history gives comfort to me
Underneath this agony, killing ache in me
Trying to defy lunacy to keep my sanity
Until I open my eyes to this lie
The lyrics of Kiana's song "Scars" are a poignant and personal exploration of the lingering pain and emotional turmoil caused by lost love. The first verse paints a vivid picture of the singer's struggle to come to terms with past memories and the impact they continue to have upon her. The "fragment of a memory" serves as a metaphor for the way in which past experiences can sometimes exert a powerful grip upon us, causing us pain and robbing us of our peace of mind. The melody of the song itself underscores this theme, with its gentle, mournful tones and haunting cadence.
The chorus of the song is a powerful declaration of the singer's pain and anger towards her lost love. The scars left on her psyche are a constant reminder of the hurt and trauma she has experienced, and the lyrics suggest that she has been unable to move on from this pain. Despite her efforts to rid herself of these negative memories, they continue to dominate her thoughts and emotions, leaving her in a state of bitter regret and despair.
The final verse of the song offers a glimpse of hope, as the singer speaks of the "flash from my history" that gives her comfort in the midst of her agony. This line suggests that even in the darkest moments of our lives, there is always the possibility of finding solace and peace, if only we are willing to look for it. Ultimately, "Scars" is a haunting and deeply moving portrait of the struggles we all face in coping with the pain of loss and the wounds that love can inflict upon us.
