- The Bird And The Worm Lyrics / with translationsHe 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 whats inside
to save his life he crawls
like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird
Out of his mind away
pushes him whispering
must have been out of his mind
mid-day delusions of pushing this out of his head
maybe out of his mind
All alone he turns to stone
while holding his breath half to death
Terrified of whats inside
to save his life he
crawls like a worm
crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm
crawls like a worm from a bird
All he knows
If he can't relieve 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 away
pushes him whispering
must have been out of his mind
All alone he turns to stone
while holding his breath half to death
Terrified of whats inside
to save his life he crawls
like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird
All alone
he's holding his breath half to death
Terrified to save his life
he crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm
crawls like a worm
crawls like a worm from a bird
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 whats inside
to save his life he crawls
like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird
Out of his mind away
pushes him whispering
must have been out of his mind
mid-day delusions of pushing this out of his head
maybe out of his mind
All alone he turns to stone
while holding his breath half to death
Terrified of whats inside
to save his life he
crawls like a worm
crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm
crawls like a worm from a bird
If he can't relieve 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 away
pushes him whispering
must have been out of his mind
All alone he turns to stone
while holding his breath half to death
Terrified of whats inside
to save his life he crawls
like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird
All alone
he's holding his breath half to death
Terrified to save his life
he crawls like a worm
Crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm
crawls like a worm
crawls like a worm from a bird

When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, the Used's track, 'The Bird and the Worm', is about a person who confronts their inner demons and eventually becomes so withdrawn that they can’t relate to the world. The song utilizes metaphors such as being turned to stone and coming out of hiding like a worm from under a bird to express the difficulties and the fears that a person might go through. The phrases bring out the internal struggle of being one's savior while also being weighed down by one's own thoughts and feelings. The tension between the self-imposed silence and the inability to control one's mental chaos is brought forth as the song layered with despair, loneliness and the fight between heart and head.
