Worms
Sara Zozaya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
see circles inside my head
telling truth I've hidden
telling the truth
All those hopes,
all those worms,
I kept growing,
just to see live
I almost forgot
Last time I went home
it didn't feel like home,
at all,
too many doors,
I thought
to hide a cry before,
sleep
The opening lyrics to Sara Zozaya's song "Worms" suggest the experience of a person who is struggling with the truth - whether it be telling the truth to themselves or to others. The imagery of lines becoming squares and circles in the head may represent a feeling of confinement or the inability to think outside of certain patterns or limitations. The singer seems to be coming to terms with something they have been keeping hidden, as they repeat the phrase "telling the truth" with emphasis.
The second stanza references "all those hopes" and "all those worms" - an interesting contrast that suggests that perhaps these hopes were akin to worms that were being nurtured but still were not always pleasant. The singer is coming to terms with (or perhaps remembering) something that they had once forgotten due to the passage of time.
The final lines of the song suggest returning home and not feeling comfortable - perhaps due to the emotional weight that feels like it has been hidden for so long. The mention of crying and sleep suggest that the singer is exhausted from hiding these emotions and might be ready to face them head on.

Last time I went home
The previous time I visited my place of origin

It did not have the same familiarity or comfort as before
at all,
Not in the slightest
too many doors,
There were too many paths and possibilities to choose from
I thought
I considered
to hide a cry before,
To suppress my emotions and keep them hidden from others in the past
sleep
To find solace and escape from reality by resting
