I figured I would help elaborate. For example the line "im on that shit that you ant smell baby so put down the perfume" right before this he says " take a shot of this.. Etc" what he's talking about here is dope. That shit that you ant smell is heroin. Gets you fucked up and no one knows that's why there are so many closet opiate addicts. My favorite line in this song is "listen ma I'll give you all I got get me off of this I need confidence in myself" I take from this a desire to not want to use anymore and how hard it is to quit. The parts about the relationship are good and he does find someone else ... And her name is heroin.
as a heroin/methadone addict, have to say i agree.
that was my first intuitive impression during listen Coeur de Pirate cover of this song.
we all have all kinds of holes (scars) and different ways to fill it. lots of that ways aren't constructive or healthy, some of them can make worse psychological damage then heroin.
being an addict is like you're already dead. the hole you've wanted to fix soon becomes enormous emptiness and there's no dope that can fix it.

" listen ma I'll give you all I got get me off of this I need confidence in myself " .... is him talking to himself. He promises her power (really, he is babbling) her power and at the same time he is telling himself he needs to STOP!!!! and get off of this. The scars are a metaphor for his inner pain. Yes, mainly emotional, psychological scars etc ... The scars are in his psyche - his self esteem and self hate. Manifesting itself in addiction.

No, she is not a stripper. She is a prostitute. When you take money for sex, you are a prostitute. And a prostitute is no different than a drug dealer. They both deal pain, just one deals sex, the other deals their body.

That's my guess, which is why this is such a sad song. Nobody should do heroin, ever.

I think you nailed it. There's a double meaning on "I got my scars right here" too (ie, emotional scars and scars from needles).

damn that makes so much sense. I always thought it was about his sneak. I thought the whole song was about the girl he was cheating with.
