- What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soulby JonathonFirst suspensions are rarely just about the body— they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal.

I’ve had… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul

It may well not be music related at all, just saying.

Why are you all thinking about music? Let the dude answer for himself. Seems to me it can be anything from sarcasm to words from a poem.

Courtofmiracles, read the damn disclaimer. Obviously these words mean something important to this person if they carved them into their leg, and speculating based on the words themselves, I’m guessing it has more meaning than liking or disliking one band. And even if it didn’t, who are you to declare it “horrendous” and insult this person’s mod? Express your opinion, don’t just say something derogatory and waste everyone’s time.
Anyway, I like the irony of writing this phrase in wounds, it adds a rather amusing layer of depth to a popular lyric. If meant literally, I hope it helped this person feel better 🙂

The Linkin Park line is “These wounds they will not heal.” It’s from the chorus to the song Crawling. Almost the same thing.

Grammatically incorrect, but I appreciate the sentiment of the piece.

It’s not Linkin Park lyrics – it’s Evanescence lyrics (Not necessarily what the person’s intent was…but just sayin’)
“These wounds won’t seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There’s just too much that time cannot erase…”
–My Immortal
It’s a really beautiful song, actually.

I like it. I would’ve liked it in tattoo form, even (years ago I saw a tattoo online that was a similar kind of scratchy handwriting font that said “i still wake up burning through everything…” [yes, with ellipses] and obviously it’s stuck in my mind, and I suspect this one will do the same).
I don’t know Evanescense or Linkin Park but it’s not like this isn’t a sentiment that’s been repeated throughout history. Even if Evanescense (or LP) were the inspiration for this particular tattoo, that doesn’t make it any less true. There are lots of phrases or images I’ve adopted into my personal iconography from songs or poems or art that no longer have anything to do with the original.
Anyway, cool shit. And I wonder if the “i still wake up burning through everything…” person would hate me if I got that tattooed, too, because it sorta has become part of my personal iconography by this point. 🙂

Alex, is it REALLY incorrect? On first glance, it seems like the “correct” phrasing would be “these wounds DON’T seem to heal” or “these wounds won’t heal.”
But I think the way it is is (perhaps not purposely) clever. Those wounds will technically heal, yes. But they will not seem to because they’ll always be there, literal scars and perhaps metaphorical reminders of whatever non-literal wounds the wearer may or may not be referencing.
It’s getting late and season 2 of Heroes is blowing my mind, obviously.

Am I the only nerd thinking of that evil flesh-writing pen Dolores Umbridge had, from the Harry Potter books?

Man, BME is not the place to deal with the deeper psychological issues associated with self-harm. That’s just not what BME is. It’s supposed to be a showcase of body modification. So what ModBlog should be doing is strictly showing the modification, not the psychological issues behind self-harm. None of us are qualified to deal with those issues. So stop speculating as to this person’s motivations, I’d hope this was a lyric rather than some outward statement of some nagtive issue.
