Scarecrow
/- [Plus Minus] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get that girl on the phone
If you think she's all alone
You're right this time
And every time

Get that surgeon on the line
The stitches fade away with time
The suture's closed
No one will ever know

She seemed so strong with no fears at all
How come no one ever gets through?

Scarecrow standing in a field
No one within miles to see
The distance grows
The fire goes cold





Now I'm gone
The moment's gone.

Overall Meaning

In the song "Scarecrow" by [Plus Minus], the singer seems to be urging someone to call a girl who is alone. He is confident that she is, indeed, alone, every time. Later in the song, it becomes clear that the girl is injured and needs medical attention. The reference to a surgeon and stitches that fade away alludes to some kind of trauma that has happened to the girl, but no one else knows. The chorus then speaks of a scarecrow standing alone in a field with no one around to see. The scarecrow is a symbol of loneliness and isolation, but also a warning to the girl to stay away and not let anyone else in. It is implied that she has a deep-rooted fear that prevents her from opening up to others, and as a result, she feels like the scarecrow, standing alone in an empty field.


The song is both haunting and poignant, and it raises important questions about the nature of fear and loneliness. The lyrics suggest that the girl in the song may be suffering from some kind of mental illness, perhaps anxiety or depression, and that her fear prevents her from building meaningful connections with others. The scarecrow is an apt symbol for this kind of emotional isolation, as it represents the idea of being observed without any real sense of intimacy or interaction.


Overall, "Scarecrow" is a beautiful and introspective song that speaks to the human condition in a profound way. It is both a lament and a warning, a reminder of the fragility of our social connections and the importance of reaching out to those who are hurting.

Congratulations! He looks amazing! I do think HM effects something because since using it I’ve got 2 great ones and a super rare, I’m loving it lol.

Scarecrow

Yea its a ton of fun to do! I feel like it 100% affects some but idk if it affects stuff like red deer and bear as I have not seen much difference there

Ashley’s Hunts

@Scarecrow I agree about the red deer, I didn’t see much of a difference either, I’ve never went for a GO black bear.
