The lyrics of "Morning Song" by Worm Is Green convey a feeling of introspection and questioning on what to do next. The singer is lying in bed, possibly in the morning, contemplating about the day ahead of him/her. The line "I lay my head on my hand" evokes a sense of being lost in thought while the subsequent lines "And think about whatever" suggest that the subject matter of the contemplation may be varied and random. This is further emphasized in the next line "About today" which seems to pull back the focus to the present moment.

The following couplet "Should I get out of bed or be twice as strong" reveals that the singer is dealing with some sort of inner conflict. It could be interpreted as a metaphorical battle between laziness and strength or a reference to a difficult decision that needs to be made. The last line "Tomorrow" throws into light the possibility of postponing the decision which could also mean prolonging the confusion or indecisiveness.

Line by Line Meaning

I lay my head
I rest my head gently on my hand

On my hand
I let my hand serve as a cushion for my tired head

And think about
I begin to contemplate and ponder

Whatever
Anything that comes to mind

About today
Reflections on events that have taken place thus far

Should I get out of bed
Should I awaken and start my day now, or continue sleeping?

Or be twice as strong
Is it better for me to rest and gather my strength, or power through the day?

Tomorrow
Considering the consequences of my actions for the future
