Trophy Scars
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Children running down the street in uniforms
2
Laughing in the rain and heading towards me
3
They were yelling about something, they were singing in code
4
Something like “Ten dead men on a dead man’s chest/ fight the war
5
Forget about the restâ€
6
They were searching for sunlight, they were searching for gold
7
So I catch a fever from the inside, dip my hands into my pocket
8
Open up my wallet
9
Such a strange gesture to make in this town
10
“Sure ain’t gold but it gets me around,â€
11
Then I grabbed a twenty from the inside
12
Hand it to the smallest, tell him “Spend it wisely.â€
13
He looked up at me then back at the ground
14
I just wish him luck then turn right around
15
Now I talk to myself late at night
16
Oh I try to connect with the ghost to a best friend
17
My brother, my accomplice, another writer, my best man
18
And sometimes I feel so forgiven at night
19
I just put down the shades but I open my window
20
The bad luck just leaves me
21
I hear Ben tell me “Brother, you’re home.â€
22
I think it all started in the summer ‘98
23
In Normandy, New Jersey
24
Later in the day I was thinking about existence and unaccepting fate
25
I was fourteen years old but what else can I say
26
Even then I knew time was gonna catch me
27
I graduated private school in the summer of ‘02
28
My first true love left me and I didn’t know what to do
29
I moved into New York and I thought I found the truth
30
A pint glass full of paddy’s and pills you shouldn’t chew
31
Well, I swore that the drugs were gonna kill me
32
And I was wrong, I was wrong, I was writing a song
33
Tried to blame myself because she was gone
34
I didn’t know that she was unaffected
35
Her bad luck came through a needle
36
And I knew that the drugs were gonna kill her
37
Fast forward to the fall of ‘05
38
I met a girl of my dreams and she helped me survive
39
Then she left my life at a complicate time
40
In March of ‘06 I attempted suicide
41
Well I know that Sudafed can’t kill me
42
To everyone that knew, yeah I apologize
43
I’m sorry mom and dad, I never meant to make you cry
44
Thanks to all my friends, you’re the reason I’m alive
45
You make everyday worth living in this ribbon called Time
46
Well, it’ll take more than bad luck just to kill me
47
Limbs and things and verbs and sounds
48
I’ve got ten years of words buried in the ground
49
They’re being reassembled by the ghost of Ben Brown
50
He’s adapting the screenplay even still now
51
He better cast someone cool like Johnny Depp to play me
52
The child took my twenty and he looked me in the eyes
53
He said, “Thanks mister, for the gold†and continued walking by
54
I could see him proudly show his friends it made me wanna cry
55
Cause all I could do was think of mine
56
I know I’m a lucky guy
57
Thank you all for everything, I miss you all
58
Goodnight
