The Tragically Hip: Scared Meaning
Scared Lyrics
I'm not prepared, but if I have to
He said I can make you scared
It's kinda what I do
If you are prepared to
Here is what I propose to do
Your in Russia
And more than a million works of art
Are wisked out to...

It's about how fear is used as a commodity to intimidate and gain. It's a tool used by governments and corporations to influence our decisions. People are actually employed to scare people. It's about how dishonest things are done as if God isn't watching.

Song is about stolen art back in WW2 and the dealing of the art stolen during and after the war.

It's a song about vulnerability. A poet or writer will often use allusion as a way to convey meaning. In this case he uses WW2 as a way to give the listener an image of vulnerability. Gord often references a salesman when he introduces this song and that is another way to think about the conversation in the lyrics. Salespeople always make people feel defensive and vulnerable. It could just as easily be a guy trying to get a girl in the sack or a married couple beyond the point of being able to say how they feel. It all comes back to vulnerability though.
