Scars Lyrics

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
My weakness is
That I care too much
My Scars remind us
That the past is real
I tear my heart open
Just to feel

Drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just want to be alone
I'm pissed cause you came around
Why don't you just go home
'Cause you channel all your pain
And I can't help you go fix yourself
Your making me insane
All I can say is

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
My weakness is
That I care too much
Our scars remind us
That the past is real
I tear my heart
Open just to feel

I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That your drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassion's in my nature
Tonight is our last stand

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
My weakness is
That I care too much
Our scars remind us
That the past is real
I tear my heart
Open just to feel

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down
And I just want to be alone
You shouldn't ever came around
Why don't you just go home?
'Cause your drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
And I left my heart open
But you didn't understand
But you didn't understand
You fix yourself

I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can't help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
My weakness is that
I care too much
Our scars remind us
That the past is real
I tear my heart
Open just to feel

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
My weakness is that
I care too much
Our scars remind us
That the past is real
I tear my heart open
Just to feel

Scars

Papa Roach lead singer Jacoby Shaddix says that this is one of the most revealing songs he's written. Shaddix has always been prone to alcoholism and self-destruction, and this song finds him addressing his wife, Kelly, who he married in 1997. Throughout their marriage, he has fought his demons, which have wreaked havoc in their relationship. They always get through it, but sometimes he feels that he needs to move on, for her sake as well as his.

Pouring your heart out like this is not easy for a songwriter, but for Shaddix it's an essential part of his healing process, and it's also how he connects with the fans. In our 2015 interview , he explained: "The more we dig deep and the more I reveal about what I'm really going through in my life, the deeper the connection is with our fans. And 'Scars' is one of those songs."

The song deals with getting tired of trying to fix everyone else's problems, but having a hard time because you care so much. You can't stop caring, so you tear yourself open for the people you care about, and then heal to get ready for the next time you have to do it. And then, at one point you still care, but you just can't do it anymore. You have to tell them, "You fix yourself," and that is the hardest part.

The first version of the video was directed by Steve Murashige and leaned heavily on computer generated effects and compositing. This clip proved a little too "artistic," so another video was made, this time eschewing effects for acting, with performance footage of the band intercut with Shaddix acting out scenes of domestic disturbance with the actress Taylor Cole, who at the time was on the TV series Summerland. She later appeared on the shows CSI: Miami and Heroes.

Lead singer Jacoby Shaddix built this song around Hannibal Lecter's lament that "Our scars remind me that the past is real" in the movie Red Dragon. Anthony Hopkins, who portrayed Hannibal, says that when he prepared for this role he did not study serial killers, but cats. If you watch him closely in Silence Of The Lambs it is evident not just in the way he moves his body but also the way he blinks his eyes. He says if you pay careful attention you will see the feline quality in every scene he is in.

Shaddix explained the band's name in an interview with Spin magazine: "We came up with the name back in 1993 when we were like sixteen years old - young and dumb. At the time we were listening to lots of bands with funky names - stuff like Mr. Bungle, Primus, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. We were also playing weird spastic funk-punk like they were, so we thought we should have a name that fit in with that vibe. At first we wanted to name the band Papa Gato after [a nickname for] Poncho Sanchez, the Latin percussionist. But then I thought, what if we named it after my grandfather - his last name is Roach. The other guys were like, 'You mean roach like as in weed?' But I also thought Papa Roach had a dirty, grimy sense of longevity that really represented where we were as people at the time. Roaches last, you know? The name still fits."

Revenge Lyrics

Remember the girl
Abused with forks ,knives and razorblades
Remember the girl
Abused with forks, knives and razorblades
She finally left him, she had enough of her man's rage
Band-aids cover her scars, she left him bloodied
Beat his ass with a bat, face sunk like Silly Putty
Y'all can sit back so I can study
Destruction of the family design
And how the morals of society decline
Essentially it's beats to rhymes like grapes to wine

It's alright we're in love
Can't live with or without

See, see she can't live with him and can't live without him
Stress got her down, she needs to deal with her problems
While the drama gets deeper, I put on the reefer
She took the last step and sent his ass to the reaper
Chaos is what she saw in the mirror
Scared of herself and the power that was in her
It took over and weighed heavily on her shoulders
Militant insanity is now what controlled her

It's alright we're in love
Can't live with or without
We're in love
We're in love

Kill it, before it reaches you
Missiles won't work, it's approaching the mainland
What if it reaches the metropolitan areas, Cosmopolitan areas
Secure the lines, prepare for departure,
Calm, calm, calm
It is a big business and seems to be advancing underground
Because my style is underground
I'm green with my red eyes mad tint
Flee, fly, flow, rapido rapido
She feeds plentiful, electrifying the nation
Electrifying the nation

Don't you see that we are in danger
How will we stop it
She is attacking

Come on, we're runnin out
Runnin out of time
Runnin out of time
Runnin out of time

It's alright we're in love
Can't live with or without

MTV used this in an episode of their show Road Rules, which was big for the band since Papa Roach did not have a major-label record deal when MTV used it. The exposure got the attention of Dreamworks Records, which signed them to a deal. The band became a favorite on MTV. They became frequent guests on the network, including the show Total Request Live.

Face Everything And Rise Lyrics

Face Everything And Rise

The streets crawl with a deadly omen
Outside I see a world that's broken
I can't breathe, my heart is choking
I need a cure for this life I've chosen
The pain, the rain is a blessing in disguise
I feel it cutting and its cutting like a knife
The pain, the rain is a blessing in disguise
I feel it cutting and its cutting like a knife
I will face everything and rise
Never gonna quit until the day I die
Angels keep falling from the sky
Take the broken wings and learn to fly
I will face everything and rise
The earth shakes and the city's burning
Blood fill's like the tide is turning
Life hurts and there's no warning
Lightning strikes, my heart is storming
The pain, the rain is a blessing in disguise

The flood's coming and it's drowning all the lies
The pain, the rain is a blessing in disguise
The flood's coming and it's drowning all the lies
I will face everything and rise
Never gonna quit until the day I die
Angels keep falling from the sky
Take the broken wings and learn to fly
I will face everything and rise
Running in the fire, I'll never be the same
I come alive when I am burning in the flames
I'm under fire when I'm burning wide awake
My life feels empty when I am walking through the flames
When I am walking through the flames
When I am walking through the flames
I will face everything and rise
Never gonna quit until the day I die
Angels keep falling from the sky
Take the broken wings and learn to fly
I will face everything and rise

Face everything and rise

Face Everything And Rise Song Chart

The writing was on the wall regarding the title of Papa Roach's eighth full-length album - literally. "Jacoby (Shaddix, singer) wrote 'F.E.A.R.' on the wall of the studio in spray paint," laughed bassist Tobin Esperance. "When we started the record, he was like, 'I want construction paper hung up on the walls everywhere so I can write down all of these thoughts.' That was the only thing he ended up writing on the wall. It stuck."

"Fear is something I face every day," Shaddix admitted. "It's about taking a negative and turning it into a positive. When you see the word, it looks like Fear. If you look deeper, it's Face Everything And Rise."

Speaking to Loudwire , Jacoby Shaddix explained the meaning of this song: "It's about stepping up to your problems," he said, "and connecting with my God and walking through those things."

The epic post-apocalyptic video finds Jacoby Shaddix being interrogated with some other masked men before bravely stepping out and facing a firing squad head on. The frontman came up with the concept and also co-directed the clip. He told Kerrang! "I was in the van from which we shot the video's chase scene, and that was the kind of s--t you'd never really get to do in your life! There was one shot where one of the motorcyclists jumps in front of the car and he nearly got run over by the car! It was one of those moments where life suddenly went into slow motion, but luckily he just avoided it."

Jacoby Shaddix told Kerrang!: "There's a key lyric in this that spawned the song, which is 'My pain is a blessing in disguise.' That simple line is so profound to me in my life and how I've grown. I used to look at my trials and tribulations and be like, 'F--k why am I going through this s--t? Why me? The song is about it being my responsibility to take that pain and find the strength within it."

Broken As Me Lyrics

You're Just as Broken As Me

Shut your mouth
'Cause I can see through the lies
We're only getting sicker
From the secrets we hide
Disaster is, a master is
We lie here burning in bed
But something tells me
I cannot kill someone new yet
I will knock you out, burn you today

I will forgive, forgive
'Cause I know that it will set me free
But all that's left is the emptiness inside of me
(my heart)
You murder my heart
Broke my just and watch me fade away
Now I see, now I see
That you're just as broken as me

You're just as broken as me

You always play the victim
And you just can't decide
If the vicious way we loved each other
Fucked up our lives
Well we're standing in the aftermath of emptiness is what's left
And if you really love me, will you love me to death

[?]

I will forgive, forgive
'Cause I know that it will set me free
But all that's left is the emptiness inside of me
You murder my heart
Broke my just and watch me fade away
Now I see, now I see
That you just as broken as me

Just as broken as
Just as broken as
Just as broken as
You're just as broken as me

[?]

I will forgive, forgive
'Cause I know that it will set me free
But all that's left is the emptiness inside of me
You murder my heart
Broke my just and watch me fade away
Now I see, now I see
That you just as broken as me

You're just as broken as me
You're just as broken as me
You're just as broken as me

Broken As Me Song Chart

Singer Jacoby Shaddix explained the song's meaning to Loudwire : "That's about forgiveness," he said, "when you don't want to forgive but you know it's the best thing to do."

The all-out rocker was the first track that Papa Roach recorded for their F.E.A.R. album. Shaddix described the song in a live Google+ Hangout session as, "just an exciting, rip-roaring rock, hard rock, heavy metal progressive, nutty assault of musical creativity."

Shaddix expanded on the song's message to Artist Direct : "If I walk around this world with all of these resentments, grudges, and this hatred, there's no freedom," he explained. "I'm in a prison of judgment. I've found that people who have wronged me, whether it be family members, people in this business, or past friends, I have to understand they're human and nobody's perfect. Maybe they have some demons they're dealing with or the same f--king problems I've got? It comes from that broken relationship. You're trying to mend it with some forgiveness."

Falling Apart Lyrics

I'll follow you out of the dark.
I tried my way but I keep Falling Apart!

All that I see, is the wickedness around me.
I refuse to believe, the apocalypse inside of me.
I can't even trust myself.
I'm burning in my skin.
Standing at the gates of hell, but nobody will let me in.

I'll follow you out of the dark.
I tried my way but I keep falling apart!
I'll follow you, with all of my heart.
I'm tired of my ways cause I keep falling and falling apart!

I stand here again, forsaken in a place
That feels like I can never win.
I'm reaching for a saving grace.
I can't even trust no one.
I need to rise above.
I don't think I'm good enough, to feel your perfect love.

I'll follow you out of the dark!
I tried my way but I keep falling apart!
I'll follow you, with all of my heart!
I'm tired of my ways cause I keep falling and falling apart!
I'm falling and falling apart.
I'm falling and falling apart.
I'm falling apart.

Your love's a fire, it's alive and I'm burning in it.
I'm in the ashes of mercy; I'm caught in it.
I fall hard and you carry me away.
I fall part so you can set me free.
Your love's a fire, it's alive and I'm burning in it.
I'm in the ashes of mercy; I'm caught in it.
I fall hard and you carry me.
I fall apart so you can set me free.
I follow you out of the dark!
I tried my way but I keep falling apart!
I'll follow you with all of my heart!
I'm tired of my ways, cause I keep falling and falling apart!
I'm falling and falling apart!
Without you I'm falling apart!
I'm falling and falling apart.

Falling Apart Song Chart

Jacoby Shaddix calls this song a "Callout to God." In our interview with the Papa Roach frontman , he explained that it's a very spiritual song, and that "God" is simply his name for a higher power. "I see God in music, I see God in people, I see it out here in the world now, so I'm seeing the world from a different perspective," he said. "I'm not trying to be preachy or anything like that, just talking about my experience, my strength and my hope."

Bassist Tobin Esperance explained the song's meaning. "I love the lyrics on it," he said. "It's about trying to find something to hold on to that can keep you strong, propel you forward, and be that light in your life. There's a lot of evil s--t that can take over, but you don't have to fall prey to it."

Jacoby Shaddix went through a very rough time in 2012 when the band was recording their previous album, The Connection. Working through alcoholism and a separation from his wife at this time inspired this song, which he says is about "learning how to let people love me."

Skeletons Lyrics

I can see myself in a broken reflection
This magnifies my imperfection
Beaten down, and I'm crawling, I'm craving affection
A fade out projection
Comfort in violence, suffer in silence
Lost in self deception
Is there no salvation?

Brick by brick I've built this wall
I shut you out to break the fall
I will shed my sins
I'll show you my Skeletons
One by one we cast the stones
Flesh and blood, and broken bones
Burn away the sins
We all have our skeletons

We all have our skeletons

I have lost myself in my addictions
There's no faith in fear or self-destruction
Falling out, falling down
And I'm crawling to you to confess my intentions
Suffer the violence, comfort in silence
Lost in self deception
Is there no salvation?

Brick by brick I've built this wall
I shut you out to break the fall
I will shed my sins
I'll show you my skeletons
One by one we cast the stones
Flesh and blood, and broken bones
Burn away the sins
We all have our skeletons

We all have our skeletons

Brick by brick!

Skeletons!

Brick by brick I've built this wall
I shut you out to break the fall
I will shed my sins
I'll show you my skeletons
One by one we cast the stones
Flesh and blood, and broken bones
Burn away the sins
We all have our skeletons

Skeletons Song Chart

This song finds Jacoby Shaddix in a reflective mood as he implores:

Brick by brick I've built this wall
I shut you out to break the fall
I will shed my sins
I'll show you my skeletons

"That comes from a place of secrets," Shaddix told Artist Direct . "You're only as sick as your secrets are. As I'm living this dark life, I tend to shut people out and build this wall between me and them by not reaching back out. If they call me, I don't call them back. If I'm up to no good, I start to isolate. I build this wall around myself. I find myself in this prison, which is not a healthy place to be. There's a comfort for me in isolation, but it's a dysfunction."

"I have to realize we've all got our issues, skeletons, and secrets," he continued. "I always find freedom when I bare everything in myself and all of the darkness. If I get enough strength to break down this wall and be honest, I can be part of."

"Stylistically, I wanted the song to have this snaking groove to it.," Shaddix added. "It's got a tortured vibe to it, but the chorus is so uplifting and epic. That's one of my favorites."

War Over Me Lyrics

War Over Me

I'm standing on the front lines
I'm fighting for my soul
I've walked a self-destructive lonely road

I wrap the warning signs
But I was too blind to see
I had to feel the pain
'til I believed

This is war
This is war
Since the day I was born
I will die just to live,just to play

No more fight for my life
'til I wil see the light
This is war
It's war over me
War over me
War over me

My pretty face destruction
My hunger turns to greed
But nothing ever fills this whole in me

Bno peace on the horizon
No peace in anything
I had to hurt myself???
'til I believed

This is war
This is war
Since the day I was born
I will die just to live,just to play

No more fight for my life
'til I wil see the light
This is war
It's war over me
War over me
War over me

This kicked off desperation
Is exactly what I need
I'm crawling out yout name
I'm locked in my own prison
Tell me hope is on the way
Tell me hope is on the way

This is war
This is war
Since the day I was born
I will die just to live,just to play

No more fight for my life
'til I wil see the light
This is war
It's war over me
War over me
War over me
This is war
This is war
Since the day I was born
I will die just to live,just to play

No more fight for my life
'til I wil see the light
This is war
It's war over me
War over me
War over me

This is war
It's war over me
War over me
War over me

War Over Me Song Chart

The F.E.A.R. album was recorded in Las Vegas as producers Kane and Kevin Churko couldn't make it to the band's home city of Sacramento. Vocalist Jacoby Shaddix was nervous about spending time in Sin City as he was trying to maintain a clean and sober lifestyle, but was eventually strengthened by the experience. This was one of the songs the band wrote in the process.

Jacoby Shaddix explained the song's lyrical content to Artist Direct : "I had to go there (Las Vegas) with my armor and protection. I was standing in the middle of the good and the bad and sin and salvation. Those elements were tugging at me."

"Truly, Vegas was the perfect place for me to make this record because it really strengthened me. If I could go out on the road and keep my life together and stay on the right track here in Vegas and enjoy myself, that's it. It's a war out there in this crazy ass world."

Speaking about the song in a live Google+ Hangout session Jacoby Shaddix described this as a "dope track." He added: "I mean, seriously, just big chorus, rad lyrics, great riffs… good drums on it. And it's very adventurous, man. The production that we're getting from the Churkos, it's, like… it's cool, man."
