Red Hot Chili Peppers - Scar Tissue Song MeaningsLyrics: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 Wi... (See the rest of these lyrics) Submitted by: anonymous Added: 2005-10-05 13:49:00 Rating:  This song is about suicide. Notice that it says "Blood loss in a bathroom stall" that really says something.
Submitted by: anonymous I think the scar tissue this person is singing about has to do with a loss, such as a miscarriage (blood loss in a bathroom stall) after having a one night stand with a stranger and getting her pregnant. he feels the loss of the child and feels lonely inside.
Submitted by: anonymous I'm not sure but I always kind of imagined it as some guy who loved a girl but she was a prostitute. "Push me up against the wall Young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra," but I was never sure who the "Sarcastic mister know it all" perhaps someone he knew who wasn't very nice towards him and he wishes that this guy could see his "scar tissue" perhaps to prove a point.
Submitted by: anonymous The song is about heroin usage! Scar tissue is left from the needle every time he injected. Blood loss in the bathroom stall refers to drawing back on the plunger before injecting into the vein. Sharing a lonely view with the birds is a reference to being high.
Submitted by: anonymous I always thought it was about the guitarist road into drugs and all that mess...
Submitted by: Irishnez07 This song is about heroine usage. The above me who thought the guy above him thought it was Under the Bridge, it's you who got Scar Tissue confused with Under the Bridge, not him.
Submitted by: anonymous It is about heroin usage, in the book Scar Tissue, written by Anthony Kiedis, it describes him going to hidden spots in certain neighborhoods to satisfy his need for heroin, without revealing himself, being a celebrity. However, the beginning of the song, "sarcastic mr. know it all," is actually about former rhcp member Dave Navarro. In the book, Kiedis says that it's about Navarro saying that sarcasm was his sense of humor. "Under the bridge downtown, is where I drew some blood," is speaking mostly of his heroin use. Also, "With the birds I share this lonely view," is describing most of his life as kind of an outcast.
Submitted by: anonymous "Under the Bridge downtown," I believe was referring to the place where Anthony bought most of his drugs.
Submitted by: anonymous Its about Guitarist John Frusciante, Who had spiraled downward into drug use and depression after leaving the band after the BloodSugarSexMagik album. The song chronicals heroin use and the friction fame had on Frusciante (referring to groupies in the "push me up against the wall..." phrase).
Submitted by: anonymous I think its simply about baggage. A person's scar tissue is there past problems that are scared over... That's how it feels to me.
Submitted by: anonymous "Under the bridge downtown" really is from Under the Bridge, and not Scar Tissue. It's the big chorusy part.
Submitted by: anonymous "Push me up against the wall" might have something to do with the heroin controlling him, like an inescapable addiction, like, hint, being "backed up against a wall"?
Submitted by: anonymous All people are slightly correct in thier interpretations. The girl could also be heroine, since addictions can be as consuming as love, a person could feasibly view it as either being addicted to drugs shooting up etc, or the intensity of losing someone or that f-ed up love that people have. Blood loss in a bathroom stall could be refering to either depending on the situation. along with the rest. My meaning of it is just simply something that controlls/consumes you to a point that you feel isolated without it and completely hopeless with it.
Submitted by: anonymous This song is about his past issues with his dad and his drug taking it reflects on all his experinces and also makes refrence to the guitariast at that time who was causeing trouble in the band and couldn't understand his drug taking that is y it starts " scar tissue that I wish you saw a sarcastic mr know it all" this was anthony kedis view of the guitarist. It is also the name of his biography in which the opening line reads "this is my story scar tissue and all" so it is obvious that scar tissue is about the bad events and happenings in peoples lifes and is also about how other people do not understand the behaviour as have not seen there "scar tissue"
Submitted by: anonymous I've heard several times that it's about how when their guitarist john, left the group to go into drug rehab and the song is a celebration of his returning and becoming a different man i.E heald and hence "scar tissue".
Submitted by: anonymous I think the song just uses metaphors to express the pain and suffering people go through in life and the things they try to do to make up for it. They do things to try to get people to notice that they were hurt in some way, like hurt themselves, which often does nothing and nobody notices. This is expressed in the first line of the song, "scar tissue that I wish you saw."
Submitted by: anonymous I always thought "a sarcastic mister know it all" was someone who thinks he knows all their is to know, like a therapist or a doctor....But he [the 'doctor'] doesn't understand the way or how the guy feels because he is blind to the scar tissue. Scar tissue, as most know, forms as a result or a wound. Mental/emotional wounds cause one to change their outlook on life. Maybe the "sarcastic mister know it all" would understand if he saw the "scar tissue."
Submitted by: anonymous The song is about being on heroine and getting more lost into other things, the parts about girls he's problaby refering to girl he was with when he was high
Submitted by: anonymous This song is simply about seeing a fight. He is saying "scar tissue that I wish you saw" talking to everyone and explaining that people have to get themselves together and realize our corruption. Sarcastic mister know it all is the tough guy in the fight...He sees the fight from a distant hence with birds I share this lonely view. Blood loss in a bathroom stall just further metaphorically describes the pain and suffering people go through in crime and fights because of people's corruption. "close your eyes and I'll kiss you" is telling whoever he is with that everything will hopefully be okay and not to stare or worry
Submitted by: anonymous This song is simply about anthony's struggle with drugs. Created/written after his book "scare tissue" and the book is about his life and struggle with drugs and how he survived.
