Go to Hell
Scary Mansion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That take me to town
You know the ones
And here's the shirt with the confusing buttons
Oh, you know the one
I would like you to take all of these things
And make a very fine dummy for your house
So it can look out into the very, very black night
And you can imagine it saying
"Night, you challenger."
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
Here
I
Am
If only the company of others
Was as quiet as this friend scarecrow
Then you can imagine it saying to you,
"I will hold you eventually."
And you can imagine it saying
"Go to hell."
Go to hell
Go to hell
Go to hell
Go
To
Hell
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
Go to hell
Go to hell
Go to hell
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
Go to hell
Go to hell
Go to hell
Here I am
Here I am
Here I am
Go to hell
Go to hell
Go to hell
The lyrics to Scary Mansion's song "Go to Hell" are enigmatic and open to interpretation, but there are certainly a few themes that come to the surface. The song seems to deal with loneliness, or perhaps isolation from others, as the singer appears to be addressing an inanimate object (their clothes) as a potential stand-in for a human companion. The imagery of the "dummy" or "scarecrow" suggests a desire for companionship, even if it is simply a facsimile of a person. The repetition of the phrase "Here I am" could be seen as a yearning to be noticed or recognized by someone, perhaps the person for whom the dummy is being created.
However, the tone of the song also takes a darker turn with the repeated refrain of "Go to hell." This could indicate a sense of frustration or anger towards someone who has not recognized or understood the singer's need for companionship. It is possible that the singer may be directing this anger towards themselves, as a way of coping with their own perceived inadequacy or loneliness. Alternatively, the "Go to Hell" refrain could represent a desire for the world to "go away" or leave them alone. The ambiguity of the lyrics leaves ample room for interpretation, but overall the song conveys a sense of yearning for connection mixed with a strong undercurrent of frustration or anger.

Here are the shoes that I wear sometimes
That take me to town
You know the ones
And here's the shirt with the confusing buttons
Oh, you know the one
These are my familiar clothes I wear to go outside, but I want you to take them and create a dummy with it to keep it by your window. It'll watch the quiet night sky while uttering the words "Night, you challenger."
If only the company of others
Was as quiet as this friend scarecrow
Then you can imagine it saying to you,
"I will hold you eventually."
And you can imagine it saying
"Go to hell."
I wish human companionship was as peaceful as being with a scarecrow, which symbolically represents the ultimate solitude. And you can imagine it whispering to you, "I will embrace you in death," while also telling you to "Go to hell."
