Your Flesh Means More Than You, whatever that means

Posted on by

“Your flesh means more than you”, I have no clue what that’s supposed to mean, but it sure sounds deep!  Anyhow, I like the design of this scar and the wording seems to tie in well even if it’s meaning is a bit over my head.

  9. First thing that came to my head was rape, as in you’re worthless and your body is more valuable than you as a person. That’s probably wrong though. Cute scar 😀

  13. Sounds to me it’s a salute to the masses, flipping the bird to those who see themselves as primarily their flesh – their body and face (ie the vain) – and shows them towards this compared to this guys more open nature. It suggests a _person_ goes beyond ‘this’ flesh.

    Hell I might be totally off the mark but thats what hit me when I was thinking about the wording.

  25. I thought maybe they got an organ from a donor and it saved their life. Or maybe some spinal something rather, hence the spine.

  45. Looks nice. If it is from the lyrics, it’s to do with vanity and what not i think. I love scarrings, but i wouldn’t ever get one so big, i want to save space for tattoos, i want color on my skin.

  69. oh…and yes, it’s from Protest The Hero (big fan here). It’s from the lyrics of “turn soonest to the sea”. To me it means to forget vanity and start paying attention to what is important, to treat people equally…to realize that a body it’s just flesh and to scar it, tattoo it, pierce it won’t change who we are…

  97. It’s about sexism. It’s saying who you are, who you were born, will determine how other people treat you. Your flesh means more than you.

    and yeah “your flesh means more then you”
    not all shit is deep just because it sounds it
    they probably wrote that cause it sounded cool as a group chant aha
