The Scarecrow Lyrics

Cover art for The Scarecrow lyrics by Pink Floyd

Some have theorized that when Syd wrote this song it was sort of like he was prophecizing(spelling?) his own doom later on in his life, when he completely mentally broke down.

"His head did no thinking, his arms didn't move" when things got really bad for Syd it was almost as if he was in a catatonic state, not moving or saying a thing, just staring off into space.
