"" Formed in 1992 and comprised of members Scott Angelacos (vocals), Matt Easley (guitar), Art Legre (bass), and John Stewart Jr. (drums), Bloodlet specializes in a form of hardcore that's even more angst ridden and brutal than most of their counterparts. Issuing several singles straight away, Bloodlet signed on with the renowned hardcore label Victory not long after their formation, resulting in a trio of releases during the mid to late ‘90s -- 1995's Eclectic (a compilation of their aforementioned early singles), 1996's Entheogen, and 1998's Seraphim Fall, before splitting up. Little was heard from Bloodlet's former members, as most dispersed to other locales. But during their retirement, several up and coming hardcore groups began name checking Bloodlet as an important influence (especially Eighteen Visions, among others), and by late 2001, Bloodlet had reunited and was rehearsing once more. Hooking up with renowned indie producer Steve Albini, Bloodlet issued their fourth release overall in 2002, the hard hitting Three Humid Nights in the Cypress Trees -- picking up exactly where they'd left off several years earlier.

Worms
Bloodlet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoping to find me a little nugget of gold
But all I got is some worms
Everyday I pull green slime down to my heart
Grab it with both hands and hold until my lungs burn
I think tragedy sleeps at the foot of my bed
Its incessant breathing keeps me awake
Every time I wake up it takes me at least 10 minutes to remember my name
And sometimes I get it wrong
Every time I reach out into the world hoping to find a kindred soul I get burned
Burn it down
I've been searching for a reason I've been living for the season
Give me something to believe in
Burn it down
In Bloodlet's song "Worms," the lyrics speak to the singer's feelings of hopelessness and searching for meaning in a seemingly futile existence. He describes digging into the dirt every day, hoping to find gold, but only finding worms. This imagery can be interpreted as a metaphor for the pursuit of wealth or success, which often results in disappointment and the realization that true value lies in something else entirely.
The singer also speaks of pulling down green slime to his heart, a graphic and unsettling image. This can be interpreted as a representation of the emotional pain and trauma that he carries deep within him. He tries to hold onto it, but it becomes overwhelming and he feels like tragedy is always looming over him. He struggles with memory loss and a lack of identity. The line "give me something to believe in" suggests that he is searching for purpose and meaning in life, but has yet to find it.
Bloodlet's "Worms" is a bleak and introspective song that speaks to the human experience of grappling with life's challenges and finding meaning in the face of adversity.

Unfortunately, all I have found are insignificant or unimportant things
Everyday I pull green slime down to my heart
I am constantly dealing with negative emotions that affect me deeply
Grab it with both hands and hold until my lungs burn
I hold onto these negative emotions and keep them inside me, even though it hurts me

Its incessant breathing keeps me awake
The constant worry and anxiety of this feeling makes it difficult for me to sleep

Whenever I try to connect with others, I am often let down or hurt by their actions
Burn it down

I am trying to find a purpose or meaning in my life, especially during difficult times
Give me something to believe in
I am looking for something to hold onto and give me hope
