	This song is about Matthew Shepard who was tied to a fence and beaten to death in Wyoming. He is beaten because he was gay. The 12:53 AM Oct. 12th in the song was his recorded time of death. The first section of lyrics that uses that date is supposed to say "When the scarecrow died" on the second line. The "scarecrow" being Matthew Shepard, because he was tied to a fence and people passing by thought it looked like a scarecrow tied to a fence. Musically this song is one of the less complex songs on the album, but it does use a 7-string.

	He wasn't killed because he was a faggot, he was killed because of a drug deal gone wrong, thats what new evidence is saying now. Either way the song is about that incident.

	Hey, in the third line of the second verse, i think it goes: 'the wolves just couldn't understand' The rest of the song is perfect, though. Well done. Ruaraidh.

No Picture Christina Average	#6 by Christina Anderson at Oct 8, 2007 at 9:14 PM EST

	really? that is sick. im not gay, but really, that makes me want to be sick.

No Picture Berenice Average	#9 by Berenice Issaris at Oct 11, 2007 at 8:26 AM EST
	I somewhat get an idea of this song being about the nazis. Like jews being stuck in camps, "tied to the fences they break you". And like the scarecrow imagery for the defenceless Jew. And a shepard kills for survial = allied forces. And wolves imagery for the nazis. I know I'm wrong, but before I knew what the song was really about.. that's what it made me think of.

No Picture Joe Average	#10 by Joe Montana at Oct 12, 2007 at 10:16 AM EST
	Yeah 12:53 am was his official time of Matthew's death, when they put the time of the shepard and the scarecrows death. That is about him dying and the kids that tied him up and beat him put a scarecrow in the parade the next day with a shirt on it that said "Im Gay" they beat it and most of the town thought it was funny until they had heard what happened, im not very homosupportive or anything but this is one of the most messed up things ive ever heard of.

	hey...I'm new here and my English isn't the very best, so please excuse my grammar and stuff like that. I have a question concerning this song. What does the title mean? Does is mean that sadness will be beaten or that sadness will beat everything? I hope you can help me...thx
