Singled Out: Evans Blue's Erase My Scars and Sick Of It

Erase My Scars: It seems we all have this idea that no matter what happens in life, happens for a reason. This song is not about looking for answers, but more or less calling out this "higher being" for people to understand that what happens to us in life, is just that... life. There never has to be an explanation as to why something is unfair for some people or how some people are more fortunate. These questions will only be answered by you. It seems like we can only feel comfort by placing the responsibility on what's truly unimaginable. I find it far easier to believe that WE have the strength to get through life by having no choice but to hold life responsible. There may be no answers, and we may feel we need to be angry or hold someone or something accountable for what has happened... but in reality, the only way we truly get through this pain is to accept the fact that these scars will never completely fade away.

When Parker came to me with the guitar riff, I really felt the mood of this song was exactly where I was at the time. The song came together fast and felt "right". We recorded the song shortly after with our producer Trevor Kustiak. This song took shape just as easily as we could hear it in our heads.

Sick Of It This was one of the first songs we recorded for the album. I felt like it could easily be identified by anyone. It's about having someone in your life that you are simply better off without. We've all gone through the same story of some miserable person trying to hold us down... until you finally open your eyes and realize that not only are you better off without them, but you can clearly see right through them. You stand up and say "I'm done with this s***"... You finally realize that there is no such thing as changing someone.. they are who they are. Keep moving forward.. no more walking on egg shells.. no more trying to please someone who will never be pleased... and at the end of the day, this song is all about removing the weight from your shoulders, opening your eyes, throwing up a middle finger, and taking control of your own life.
