Worms
Bloodlet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyday I reach down into the dirt
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

Overall Meaning

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.
