Track #3

Scar Tissue - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Album: Californication

Jaar uitgave: 1999

Aangezien jij Red Hot Chili Peppers al een keer hebt gezien, gezien is wel een groot woord, laten we zeggen dat je ooit in hun buurt was vond ik het leuk om ze hier op de lijst te zetten. Ik heb ooit ook hun album gegeven op vinyl dus het voelde als een full circle moment. Ik hou van hun muziek. De eerste keer dat ik hun muziek hoorde was tijdens een Pools muziekprogramma 10 jaar geleden denk ik. Ik heb het pas drie jaar geleden herontdekt, beste drie jaar van mijn leven. Het is verder echt een lekker casual nummer die je gewoon dagelijks kan luisteren, maakt niet uit wat de vibe is. (De tekst is best duister als je goed luistert maar de vibe is chill)

Scar tissue that I wish you saw

Sarcastic mister know it all

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view

Push me up against the wall

Young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra

Fallin' all over myself

To lick your heart and taste your health 'cause

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view... Blood loss in a bathroom stall

Southern girl with a scarlet drawl

Wave good-bye to ma and pa 'cause

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view

Soft spoken with a broken jaw

Step outside but not to brawl

Autumn's sweet we call it fall

I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view...

Scar tissue that I wish you saw

Sarcastic mister know it all

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view

With the birds I'll share

This lonely view

"Anthony has gone through his share of addiction and pain, and some think he is just a junkie and asshole because of it. But he just wishes that everyone could see the suffering that he had to go through, and all the people close to him he lost because of his addiction before you judge. That’s really what the song is about, the outside world’s perception of junkies, and the same applies to John too.

The scar tissue that Anthony is talking about refers to the metaphorical baggage of everything he has gone through in his life. But it is also talking about the literal scars he got from sticking heroin needles in his arm."

He claims this lyric came from an actual experience;

“I’ll never forget looking up at the sky above that garage, out toward Griffith Park with the birds flying overhead, and getting a close of Jonathan Livingston Seagull. I really did have the point of view of those birds, feeling like an eternal outsider.”
