Scarecrow Lyrics

A child beaten to death because he didn't fit into their mold of what's right and wrong. Ostracised because he chose to live free of lies. Ignorance took his life. Left out in the cold to die and we wonder why people hide themselves away from a world that doesn't understand. This world doesn't understand. Poisoned minds judged him when he stepped out from behind the safety of the closet door. Evil eyes lynched him a thousand times before he died. Fear wrapped the noose around his neck. When will we see that true love holds validity no matter who's involved? The hatred we project toward those who may be different must meet an end. What can we say for ourselves when we stand by with idle minds and let hatred run it's course?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this song is obviously about hate crimes against gay people just because they are different.. and how the violence needs to stop.. love is never wrong and it is not wrong for a man to love a man.. i can relate to this song because my friend nick racino is gaylees, italien, and has smelly asshole.. but he is a human too and i get mad when people shout out "fucking fag" at him
