Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get out of my bed, put on your clothes, go back home
You like to get drunk and treat me bad
I said I was difficult to love
And you said that I make your head spin
Well, I guess I'm different
I'm gonna ruin your day
You treat me just like an insect
Crawling on your lace
I'm gonna infest your brain
Maggot belly, maggot belly, yeah
Your bugs are eating me
Maggot belly, maggot belly, yeah
I thought you wanted love like this
And you said you wanted all of it
Your bugs are eating me
Maggot belly, maggot belly, yeah
Okay
Where did you get that?
Iβ²ll beg my way β²til I get in
'Til I break skin
Lord, please forgive me for I have sinned
I didnβ²t think it would be that bad
I saw the signs right in front of me and didn't turn back
I didnβ²t leave him
I'm gonna fuck up your picnic
Iβ²m gonna ruin your day
You treat me just like an insect
Crawling on your lace
I'm gonna infest your brain
Maggot belly, maggot belly, yeah
Your bugs are eating me
Maggot belly, maggot belly, yeah
I thought you wanted love like this
And you said you wanted all of it
Your bugs are eating me
Maggot belly, maggot belly, yeah
Hello?
I think he just shot himself
The lyrics in awfultune's song Maggot Belly seems to depict a toxic and abusive relationship. The lines "Get out of my bed, put on your clothes, go back home" suggests that the singer is trying to end a hookup or a relationship that is not working out. The lines "You like to get drunk and treat me bad" further confirm that the other person is abusive and is probably under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The singer admits that they warned the other person that they were difficult to love, but they were not heard. In turn, the other person tells the singer that they make their head spin, perhaps highlighting the unbalanced power dynamic in the relationship.
In the chorus, the singer reveals their plan to get back at the other person who has been mistreating them - they want to "fuck up [their] picnic" and "infest [their] brain" like a maggot. The metaphorical use of maggots in the song suggests that the singer sees the other person as nothing more than a rotten flesh that needs to be nibbled on and disposed of. The lines "I thought you wanted love like this, and you said you wanted all of it" further confirm that the singer was willing to love and give their all to the other person, but they were not valued in return.
The song ends with a mysterious phone call where the other person reportedly shoots himself, indicating that the relationship had fatal consequences. Overall, the song highlights the danger of staying in an abusive relationship and the importance of valuing oneself.

Ok, who wants to rave about it with me? Like, itβs absolutely STUNNING! All the visuals look amazing, heck it inspired me to create a comic, (long story) just AUGH!! Itβs absolutely beautiful, every thing just looks so polished, all the symbolisms come off really well, and knowing the story makes them fairly easy to read, but show it to someone whoβs never even read a single line from any book, and I bet the would be able to follow really well! The bgβs look fantastic, the colors fit perfectly, the designs just mwah!
