Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mortician's song "Worms" describe the gruesome and unsettling reality of certain types of parasitic worms. The first line, "Boring through the skin," refers to the parasitic worms that burrow into the skin of their host, such as the African tumbu fly. The next line, "Eating from within," speaks to the fact that these worms feed on the host's tissue and internal organs, causing damage and often death. The third line, "Feasting on the guts," is a particularly graphic depiction of the impact of these worms on their host's digestive system. Finally, "Drinking bile and pus" paints a disgusting picture of the parasitic worms feeding on their host's waste products.


Overall, the lyrics to "Worms" are a chilling reminder of the world's many dangers, both visible and invisible. While parasites may seem like a distant or abstract threat to many people, the reality is that they can be deadly and devastating to those who become infected.
