#1 - The chorus melody was composed long ago
TThe chorus melody dates back to 1993 and was paired with several different verse ideas over the years. When Remi finally found a verse melody that grew naturally out of the chorus harmony, he knew it was time to finish the song.
#2 - About not letting the past define your present
The point is that you should not let your scars hount your or cover you, scars being past events.
#3 - Only transposition so far
Scars has a full scale Eurovision style transposition, I can say without shame or embarrassment. There is also a downwards transposition which in my opinion is stronger than the upwards one.
VERSE 1
How high
Does your bitterness have to raise you
Until your conscience starts to drain you
I work hard
but I’m not that good without you
and I’m always just about to
CHORUS
They sang about
How your scars will always haunt you
Or cover you if you want to
They told of times
(Of times) where all of our issues were gone for a while
And we settled and made up with a smile
VERSE 2
Hold on
What's the point when it all comes down to nothing
But it all turns out to be something
And I'll see you
But it won't be where you left me
and I promise to be ready
CHORUS
They sang about
How your scars will always haunt you
Or cover you if you want to
They told of times
(Of times) where all of our issues were gone for a while
And we settled and made up with a smile
How high does it go
High hopes
Turned into failure of expectations
Cause I’ve been following your wrong directions
Lean on
that there somewhere will be some laughter
and I - I will forget her
