It seems to me this entire song is a Catcher referrence. "Everybody hide your body from the scarecrow" sounds a lot like "If a body catch a body comin' through the rye" (at least Holden's version of the poem). The scarecrow and the rye field are both symbolic of being pushed off the edge, except the scarecrow does this through fear rather than preventing one from seeing past their boundaries. This "edge" is, of course, the loss of innocence; "Make a wish when your childhood dies." "I'll keep you safe inside" is Holden's protecting the children's innocence. I also know Catcher is Gerard's favorite book (mine as well, so I know it when I hear it{: ). Just a theory. |
