are you not sure it's "swing aside against me" - you know when you and someone else get on a swing and you swing in opposite directions. Sure seems the direction of the song, plus scythe isn't pronounced like that as far as I can tell.
It's definitely "Scythe." And yes, it is pronounced exactly like that. It rhymes with "tithe" and "blithe." Same vowel sound as in "Strive." It's a weapon you can swing at someone to cut them in half.

I just listened to it like 12 times, and honestly I find "aside" and "a scythe" equally possible. And both make sense. But I like the imagery of "swing aside" better, so I'm gonna sing it that way :]

I do think it's scythe, but I like the idea of "swing aside against me" cause it evokes the imagery of childhoos, swinging alongside somebody on a swingset was called 'being married'. Anyone else remember that? Which fits into the whole "who will I mate with?" part. Haha it fits, abstractly, even if it's wrong :)

i think "swing a scythe" makes considerably more sense in the context of the song and album.
