Scarecrow
Lukr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From me
I'm not completely naive
I knew it was the end
When I heard you crying on the back porch
When I heard you're marrying your boyfriend
The Lyrics of Lukr's song "Scarecrow" are open to interpretation, but they convey a message of frustration and disappointment in a relationship coming to an end. The singer feels like he has been left out in the cold and is being cut down from himself. He is not just feeling rejected by the person he loves but also losing himself in the process. His words 'I'm not completely naive' show that he saw it coming, but hearing his partner crying on the back porch, and then hearing that the person is marrying someone else has torn him apart.
Perhaps the singer was holding onto some hope that the relationship might have worked out. However, with the news of the marriage, there is a finality to the relationship's end. It's possible the person thought the singer was just a "scarecrow," temporary and of little importance. The phrase "cut me down from me" implies that he felt like he was being chopped down and felt the pain of the process. A Scarecrow is typically used as a decoy to scare away birds, but in this song, it may represent the singer's apparent worthlessness.
