Scanners Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't remember, I stepped out of the room
When you don't want it well, they give it away
Don't try to fight it 'cause you're trick babies fool
I need to make up need to make up my mind
I need to wake up need to wake up my soul
You're on my wavelength and the frequencies fine
So give me something
'Cause I'm raw to the core
I said I'd love you and I'll love you to death
I said I'd want you till you breathe your last breath
I said I'd need you and my need is divine
Yeah like the lover who got stuck in his mind
Yeah, like the twisted heart that's tortured and cold
Who listens carefully but never be told
The pain and misery that love always brings
These are my favorite things
So give me something
'Cause I'm raw to the core
The song "Raw" by Scanners explores the concept of vulnerability and emotional openness. The lyrics depict a speaker who is struggling to come to terms with their emotions and desires. The first stanza speaks to the idea of being given something you don't want or need, but also being unable to resist it. It suggests that sometimes we can become lost in our desire for something, and despite our best efforts, we end up taking risks that might not be the best for us.
The second stanza suggests that the singer is trying to come to a decision or realization about something that is troubling them. They need to "make up their mind" and "wake up their soul." The final stanza discusses the concept of love, suggesting that it can be both beautiful and painful. The singer seems to have a complex relationship with love, recognizing its potential for pain and misery, but still yearning for it all the same.
Overall, the song communicates a sense of emotional rawness and vulnerability. The singer is grappling with powerful emotions and desires, and they are struggling to make sense of their own feelings.

The pain and misery that love always brings
The inevitable suffering and distress associated with love
These are my favorite things
These hardships are what I prefer
