"Scars"
Song

"Scars" is the second single from Papa Roach's third major-label album, Getting Away with Murder (2004), and seventh single in total. The single was certified Gold, selling over 500,000 units.

Music video

The song's video tells the story of Shaddix's girlfriend, played by Taylor Cole, who is a drunk and parties too much. One day, she gets too drunk and passes out at a party at Shaddix's house. She wakes up the following morning with a hangover, and, grabbing her coat, knocks over a candle, which lands on a mat on the floor. The mat is stained with her drink from the night before. She lights the house on fire unknowingly, and goes home. When Shaddix arrives home, his house is burnt down. The girlfriend comes back to the ruin and sees what happened and realized what she did. The band performs the song on top of the burnt remains of Shaddix's house. The video was directed by Babak Farhang who directed Linkin Park song In the End.

A completely different CGI video was shot for the song first. This video consists in a black-and-white scenery, completely fictional and surreal. In this one, Shaddix and the band defeat another girl that seems to be a monster or a witch. The band wasn't pleased with it and ended up shooting the video mentioned above.
