Worms
Ungraved Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[Lyrics by Angel and Lutiy]
I feel force of strong wind
And soak up each spark of fire,
I Charm full bright moon
And see a power of thunder
There are a lot of worms around
They are blind and defenceless
Worms crawl to your life
And monotony will set in your mind
Can you break it out?
Break worms' stereotypes!
Why do you stand aside?
I see a poison of identical worms
The poison are they Gods
Bible is your obituary!
Irony of hate! It's your cemetery!
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[POSTCHORUS:]
Worms are under our legs
Slowly rot from birth to the death
You don't deserve to live
If you're one of them.
In "WORMS" by Ungraved, the singer describes their relationship with natural forces and their conviction in their own power. The first few lines express the singer's ease with strong winds, ability to perceive sparks of fire, and their ability to charm the moon. They also reflect on the forceful nature of thunder. The chorus then focuses on worms, a metaphor for people who live sterile lives, lack vision, and fail to grow. The singer challenges these individuals to fight their ingrained habits and see beyond it to something better. The chorus is repeated twice, highlighting the urgency of the message.
The post-chorus section speaks about the worms as the "other." They are people who are stuck in a vicious cycle, lacking vision, and refuse to grow. The singer attacks them, saying that they are unworthy of living by saying, "You don't deserve to live if you're one of them." The song presents an interesting dichotomy between the singer's view of themselves as powerful and their view of those who lack vision as completely lacking value. It seems like a call-to-action for people to break free from societal norms, take control of their lives and not fall into the trap of being boring and unoriginal.
Line by Line Meaning
I feel force of strong wind
I am strongly influenced by external forces and am very sensitive to them
And soak up each spark of fire
I absorb every bit of inspiration and creativity that comes my way
I charm full bright moon
I am enchanted by the beauty and power of the full moon
And see a power of thunder
I am aware of the force and intensity of thunder and lightning
There are a lot of worms around
There are many people who are conforming and lacking in individuality around me
They are blind and defenceless
They are unaware of their own lack of originality and are vulnerable to external influence
Worms crawl to your life
Conformity can be insidious and slowly infiltrate every aspect of your life
And monotony will set in your mind
If you allow conformity to take hold, your life will become dull and repetitive
Can you break it out?
Can you resist conformity and be an individual?
Break worms' stereotypes!
Challenge the status quo and be different from the conformist masses
Why do you stand aside?
Why do you choose to be passive and not take action against conformity?
I see a poison of identical worms
I see the harm that conformity can cause when everyone is the same
The poison are they Gods
Those who promote conformity are enablers of this poison and hold power over those who conform
Bible is your obituary!
Following a strict set of rules and dogma blindly can lead to a dead, unfulfilling life
Irony of hate! It's your cemetery!
The cycle of hate and its destruction is a grave for those who partake in it
Worms are under our legs
Conformist people are beneath us and not worth our attention
Slowly rot from birth to the death
Conformity leads to a slow and meaningless existence
You don't deserve to live
If you choose to conform, you do not deserve to live a fulfilling life
If you're one of them.
If you are one of the conformists, you are part of the problem and not part of the solution.
