Discover the story of the song > Scar Tattoo – Alex G

The protagonist is feeling overwhelmed by the thoughts in their head and wants them to stop. They feel like there are too many people watching them and judging their actions. They mention that their partner thinks they are smart but they feel like they aren't living up to their potential and wasting their potential. The protagonist feels a sense of loss when their partner is gone and resorts to self-destructive behaviors like going to graveyards and craving attention. They mention that their partner has left a permanent mark on them, like a scar tattoo, through their actions. The protagonist has a longing to be like their partner but realizes they can't be. The song repeats this theme of feeling sick and lost when their partner is gone and desperately missing them.
