Scar Tissue represents the hardships that Kiedis had gone through in his life up until that point. for example his drug addictions and broken relationships. (his drug addictions are scar tissue , scar tissue which can be opened up easily just like a real scar tissue on your body.) the song came to kiedis while the band were working on material at flea's home in the Hollywood hills. Kiedis stood looking across a lonely ravine with the birds flying overhead hence (with the bird's ill share this lonely view.) In Kiedis' autobiography scar tissue he writes of an encounter backstage with a beautiful young girl from Kentucky. he thought she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen but she was a high school girl with a boyfriend and if I remember rightly nothing happened between the two despite a young kiedis wanting it to. This is the meaning for 'young Kentucky girl in a push up bra' 'sarcastic mr know it all' is a reference to the chilli peppers old guitarist Dave Navarro who Kiedis thought of as the king of sarcasm. 'Make it to the moon if I have to crawl' is a reference to his heroin addiction which made him desperate to get high ( the heroin is the moon and he wants it no matter what and if getting the heroin represented a journey from earth to the moon then he would crawl if he had to, that's how desperate he was for a fix.
