Song Analysis: Made Of Scars By Stone Sour

“Made of Scars” by Stone Sour “Yes, I am made of scars” (Taylor, 2006) and I’m proud of it. Scars, both visible and invisible, made me who I am today. This song is about the many scars Corey Taylor has, and how they came about. He tells the story in a raw way that makes you understand the pain of what he has gone through. “Made of Scars” by Stone Sour is a song many people can relate to because everyone has scars, inside or out, and oftentimes the ones that hurt the most are the ones no one can see, even if the visible scars look terribly painful. I love this song for many reasons, but the main idea I get from it is that he is in serious emotional pain. It makes me wonder what experiences he was thinking about while writing it. The song

My favorite lyric of the song “this one isn’t even there, but I feel it more because you don’t care” (Taylor, 2006) really hits home to me. It makes me think of all the things I have done for people, in my personal life, and in my work life, that they don’t appreciate. Even though I sometimes feel underappreciated, I still work hard to make other people happy.

It makes me happier when I’m happy and when I’m upset I can cry to it. Everyone has had a scar or two in their lifetime, everyone knows it hurts. This song has healing properties, you can scream along to it, it always makes me feel better to belt it out while
