The Bird And The Worm
by The Used
2007
Lyrics:
He wears his heart safety pinned to his backpack
His backpack is all that he knows
Shot down by strangers whose glances can cripple
The heart and devour the soul
All alone, he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside, to
Save his life, he crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) Crawls like a worm from a bird
Out of his mind, the weight pushes him, whispering
Must've been out of his mind (Out of his mind)
Mid-day delusions of pushing this out of his head
May be out of his mind (Out of his mind)
All alone, he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside, to
Save his life, he crawls like a worm (Crawls like a worm!)
Crawls like a worm from a bird (Crawls like a worm!)
(All alone) Crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) Crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) Crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
(Ah-ah, ooh-ooh, ah-ah, ah-ah)
All he knows
If he can't relieve it, it grows
And so it goes
He crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
And he crawls like a worm
He crawls like a worm, he
Crawls like a worm, crawls like a...
Out of his mind, the weight pushes him, whispering
Must've been out of his mind
All alone, he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what's inside, to
Save his life, he crawls like a worm from a bird
All alone, he's holding his breath half to death
(Holding his breathe half to death)
Terrified, to save his life
He crawls like a worm (He crawls like a worm!)
Crawls like a worm from a bird (Crawls like a worm!)
(All alone) Crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) Crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone) Crawls like a worm, crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
(All alone)
(All alone)
(All alone)
(All alone)

Interpretation: this song is about unmedicated schizophrenia and homelessness.
His backpack being his only belongings due to the difficulty of being independent with such an illness, "if he can't relieve it, it grows", "terrified of what's inside", strangers whose glances hurt either because of stigma against homelessness and schizophrenia or hallucinations, viewing dangers around him and feeling unworthy of those "above" him in the food chain of society.

as someone with manic depression and a history of homelessness. I agree. This song has changed meaning over the years, but as i experienced homelessness, it made sense. The entire song did. A beautiful serenade to a disaster of a situation. i would also wager the “all he knows, if he can’t relieve it, it grows. and so it goes (so it goes)”, Is referencing the drug addiction that can be a symptom of those feelings of loneliness and fear of the mental illness as a whole. Which can just perpetuate the homelessness, hence “and so it goes”… Very very good writing.
