Worms
Morte Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Laying in a pool of shit
Worms crawling out of your severed remains
Still breathing in consciousness
Feeling every wiggle of your gestation
Parasitic spores breeding in the flesh
Sucking up the nectar of decay
Carcacial fluids mixed together
With the remains of your bowels
Disperse scraps of intestines
As they dry out in the desert air




Tender pieces soaked into the ground
Feast on decay

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Morte's song Worms are undoubtedly intense and incredibly vivid. The song depicts a truly gruesome and macabre scene of a person lying in a pool of their own excrement with worms crawling out of their severed remains. The lyrics explain that even though this person is still conscious, they are feeling every wiggle of their parasitic gestation. This passage can be interpreted as a metaphor for the idea of being consumed by one's own internal demons or addictions, to the point where they are left helpless and unable to contain their destructive impulses.


The song then goes on to describe how parasitic spores are breeding in the flesh of this unfortunate person, while sucking up the nectar of their decay. This is an incredibly graphic and disturbing image of something feeding off the rotting remnants of a once-living organism. The imagery in this section could be seen as reflecting the idea of being consumed by one's own harmful thoughts or actions until eventually, there is nothing left but decay.


Overall, Worms is a track that pulls no punches and delivers a truly transgressive and disturbing listening experience. The themes of self-destruction and consumption are dealt with in a very explicit and visceral way, making it a powerful and challenging piece of art.
