Cover art for Scarecrow lyrics by Siouxsie and the Banshees

There are drug references riddled throughout this song. Meeting someone in secrecy ("upon the hill, he'll tell his secrets.")

"to spin the gold and silver stitches." Drug addicts often refer to their drug of choice like gems.

"My so-called friends say you're not alive." Could mean that no one believes her when she is telling them that said person needs help.

"Shock the colors to bleach inside" - seems pretty evident.
