I remember something similar happened to me, Listened to a song half asleep and could not remember the name at all. Finally found it after painstakingly searching Godsmack - Under Your Scars
I was obsessed with this song as a boy. I first heard it at a sleepover. The four of us watched cable all night seeing who could stay up the longest. I was the winner and decided to flip the TV over to Much Music to watch the late night music videos because they were usually punk and metal. Stuff they wouldnt show during prime time. The music video for this came on and it kinda creeped me out but I became obsessed with the song after. Thinking back it feels like it was a perfect moment created in space and time just for me. The isolation of being the last one awake in a quiet, dimly lit house. The glow of the TV screen illuminating that living room only enough to make the shadows dance around the corners of my eyes. The scared feeling the video inflicted on me made me feel even more alone in the moment then I was, if that makes sense. Somehow though I didn't mind, I was absolutely transfixed by it and I felt oddly tranquil despite being afraid. It's a kind of feeling that I chase now.
You, my friend, are an author whether you know it or not. I just lived that experience with you only by your story setup and detail. It was like reading a professional's novel. Nice! And yeah, great song indeed!
He wears his heart safety pinned to his backpack His backpack is all that he knows Shot down by strangers whose glances can cripple the heart and devour the soul All alone he turns to stone while holding his breath half to death Terrified of whats inside to save his life he crawls like a worm from a bird crawls like a worm from a bird Out of his mind away pushes him whispering must have been out of his mind mid-day delusions of pushing this out of his head maybe out of his mind All alone he turns to stone while holding his breath half to death Terrified of whats inside to save his life he crawls like a worm, crawls like a worm from a bird crawls like a worm from a bird crawls like a worm from a bird crawls like a worm, crawls like a worm from a bird All he knows If he can't relieve it it grows and so it goes he crawls like a worm crawls like a worm from the bird Out of his mind away pushes him whispering must have been out of his mind All alone he turns to stone while holding his breath half to death Terrified of whats inside to save his life he crawls like a worm from a bird All alone he Holding his breath half to death Terrified to save his life he crawls like a worm, crawls like a worm crawls like a worm from a bird crawls like a worm from a bird crawls like a worm from a bird crawls like a worm from a bird crawls like a worm, crawls like a worm crawls like a worm from a bird
poe is the biggest influence for all these early/mid 2000s pop/horror punk bands, specially alesana that has 2 or 3 albuns directly inspired by his books and of course misfits
Yeah art isn't a thing anymore. No one cares no one has true feelings anymore were basically fucking automated now. No one gives a fuck. Fuck everybody and everything. Nothing's real anymore
Agreed, no original thoughts, creations, movies, music. Everything. It’s all bullshit remakes. I miss the days of being absolutely pumped for new things, we can’t have that luxury anymore :/
I heard the lyrics of this song in a TikTok a couple days ago, and I instantly remembered the song. I googled it, anxiously, and eventually found it here on youtube, standing still, 14 years later. This literally brings me back to my teenage years. Back to when I was 14. This band, and this genre moulded me and helped me out of my cage in SO many ways, at SO many different levels. Nostalgia hits HARD. I was so sad, yet so lucky, and I didn't realise. Oh, I miss good ol' 2000s.
My aunt was emo and she used to play this song very often, I remember that the video terrified me, after a few years I became emo too haha, this song has been very important in my life for some reason
The video clip for this song is an absolute masterpiece. The used alwayyys have the best video clips i swear. Them and 30 seconds to mars had bangers songs and clips.
I've lived a sheltered life and as a result many bands like this have just slipped past me. I'm catching up nowadays, but goddamn this song...this hit me hard. If I had heard this a couple years ago It would have broke me entirely. I had those feelings... being scared of losing yourself to the demon inside. We all have scars and demons that we have to overpower.
So, I’ve been trying to remember this song, for weeks. I’m 29 and I used to listen to this ALL THE TIME, in high school. I couldn’t remember anything, not even the band. All I remembered was the emotion behind the song and that the title had “the worm” in it. I’m so glad I found it!
It's crazy how a lot of us in the comments had the same urge to find this song again. I had a flashback of nostalgia for a minute and i remember i was listening to this song, bits and pieces of the lyrics or the music video popped up in my head but for the life of me i couldn't remember what it was called. Finally found it after going down a My Chemical Romance memory lane of songs.
Heard The Crow and the Butterfly from Shinedown today on the radio. my brain DEMANDED that it now hears The Bird and the Worm! So here's me hearing it for the 5th or 6th time. I had forgotten how much ass this song kicks! Thanks Brain! 7/17/24
You know i use to feel like everyone hated me.. these lyrics hit so home.. i would cry in the back of the school with no friends literally no one. And no kids would ever come up ti me and ask i was. It only got worse growing up.. i use to hear voices in my head. Kids only bullied me and embarrassed me i was fat and ugly. I never had a gf. And I was riduculed as a kid. Your a freak a loner a creep a weirdo.. these words still haunt me branded on my chest like a disease.. all he know is if he can't relieve it it grows.. those words make me feel so alive. The used has saved my life more then I can remember. Standing over bridges listening to this song blaring in my eardrum. Tears in my eyes just got cutting my arm bleeding and I think.. life has got to get better.
@@thenarrator5699 music is relatable because the personal experience you give it. Doesn't have to be just about schizophrenia. Music speaks volumes like when you listen to love songs but find out its about their mother or a sibling or aunt. You give it personal meaning. It doesn't matter if its about one thing or another.
@@kevinrangel2182 I know I don't know who you are but I just want to say you sound like the best, friendliest person alive and I hope 1 day you realize that all those names people called you, isn't you! You are better than them. Take care X3 Rawr XD🖤
There was this one comment a while back that said something along the lines of "This video is the very reason my sister wont sit on the couch anymore" and since then, it has been my favorite comment of all time. :D
First band i ever saw live back in 04-05 with alexisonfire. Pretty sure it was taste of chaos, but what a great show. Will always remember and love The Used 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I remember being so young listening to this song. I was like 10-11.. I was already such an outcast. I wish we could rewind time. Lol. Everything was so balanced, including the music.
Haven’t listened to this song in years until a few days ago Nd now I am back to listening to it multiple times throughout the day. The fact I remembered most of the words is absolutely crazy to me ❤️
como amo esta canción la habré escuchado un millón de veces y nunca me cansé ni me canso de hacerlo, buenos recuerdos aquellos años como ha pasado el tiempo!
I Can't believe this video has barely over a million views!!! This song is soo deep. I'm pretty sure it's about Burt's brother who suffers from schizophrenia
Used to play World of Warcraft on my laptop in my living room and remember always seeing this on MTV back in like 2006-2007 haha. Jesus christ the memories.
Ha! I remember when this first came out on Fuse, I was in my HUGE scene/emo kid phase during this time, and I definitely had a major thing for the guitarists lol 😆
Good god, I saw a clip of this song on a “wake up, it’s 2007…” post on Facebook and the nostalgia hit so hard I had to come listen to it! I haven’t heard this song since… 2007 probably lol The internet does show a good side sometimes lol
I suddenly had the urge to hear this song again after years of not listening to it
hahah me 2
Literally just had the same thing!! O.o
same feeling today
Agreed 💯
Same
I've been looking for this song for the past 14 years.
Finally found it in Feb 5th 2024
I'm glad
it sucks when you lost a band and never find it again
You Should have just asked I would have told you
Eso duele
DAMMMNN! Sucks glad your back
I remember something similar happened to me,
Listened to a song half asleep and could not remember the name at all.
Finally found it after painstakingly searching
Godsmack - Under Your Scars
I can’t believe I was lucky enough to have seen The Used play this song live all those years ago
Jelly very much
Veryyy jellyyy
I just saw them two hours ago!!
Yeah...yeah... Just rub it in why don't ya? 🙄💚😜
this is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Seen/Unseen” by SLT 🤘🐺 🎧 🎶 🎹

Its creepy cause he does look like him

Fuck yeah man! this song is badass. will always love it
Crazy how I remember every damn word and I haven’t heard this in yeeaaaaars
first time listening :D
this shit's trippy
He wears his heart
safety pinned to his backpack
His backpack is all that he knows
Shot down by strangers
whose glances can cripple
the heart and devour the soul
All alone he turns to stone
while holding his breath half to death
Terrified of whats inside
to save his life he crawls
like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird
Out of his mind away
pushes him whispering
must have been out of his mind
mid-day delusions of pushing this out of his head
maybe out of his mind
All alone he turns to stone
while holding his breath half to death
Terrified of whats inside
to save his life he
crawls like a worm, crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm, crawls like a worm from a bird
All he knows
If he can't relieve it it grows
and so it goes
he crawls like a worm
crawls like a worm from the bird
Out of his mind away
pushes him whispering
must have been out of his mind
All alone he turns to stone
while holding his breath half to death
Terrified of whats inside
to save his life
he crawls like a worm from a bird
All alone he
Holding his breath half to death
Terrified to save his life
he crawls like a worm, crawls like a worm
crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm from a bird
crawls like a worm, crawls like a worm
crawls like a worm from a bird
This song sounds very Edgar Allan Poe-ish if you get what I mean and I absolutely love the beginning, it's very suspenseful…GOOD WORK!
Dead on

That what i when I was in high school when this song first came out.
I discovered this song only recently… I never knew how many good songs were actually out there and this is amazing!
ME TOO! I love this band :)
Check like 90% of this bands older stuff than this. All the older stuff is better
Just curious how old you are?
YEESSS I'm so happy! Let The Used live on ❤❤
When making a music video was a work of art
And now it's all about the boobs, butts, money and drugs...Man that's sad.

True. 2000s music videos were on another level to today
You guys forget that rappers still shot music videos in the 2000s?
My buddy Matt used to love this song. Rest easy buddy, we all sure do miss you bunches!

I was just finishing high school when this came out, I just turned 34. This song will never die. ; ) : )
Looks like I’m the 2021 guy!!!! Who’s still rocking out to this?!

Coheed and Cambria just announced they're touring with the Used in September 🤘🏽
🤘
We're with u 🤣 ever since I first heard it in 2011
Everyone with pure taste

Ah the beautiful middle school teenage angst days! Such a powerful song.
I first heard this song when UA-cam didn’t have ad’s, what a time to be alive.
I remember when this came out....fucking loved this song

maybe you two are secretly soulmates? LOL
This song takes me back to walking to the bus stop for school and blasting this in my ears, off of my mp3 player💀😂🔥

literally downloading this to my mp3 player rn lolz
I just remembered such a moment as soon as i read this comment. 😂
A haunting song, and a great one at that.
Just saw them live on Sunday. Phenomenal

This video is a time capsule. The nostalgia!😂😭💜
Amazing song would be a criminally underrated statement. Glad to be here. Cheers for being there through the good times and the hard times.. 🍻
Lo más bonito de esto es que me lleva a recordar mi vida hace 14 años.... Y puedo darme cuenta de cuánto he crecido.
More than 10 years later and this song hits JUST the same as it did the first time!
I'm sitting on a couch... Oh crap. AND I can't swim. This is just great! -_-
Wat
-_-
This song is on my weekly playlist. Will never get enough!

This song will never get old for me. This and pretty handsome awkward
Just love this band

Nothing short of art. So good.
Whatever drugs this dude is on, keep me away from his dealer.
Completely agree with you!

2022! My favourite song when i was 16 in 2007. Still loving it 💓
Man my teenage years were the best. Now im 30 remembering im still sad. I love it!
One of the best songs writing in 30 years . The lyrics alone make you think.
idk why but every time i play along with this on my bass. my blood pumps higher. THANK YOU THE USED
This randomly showed up in my recommended and I gave it a listen. Fell in love with this song, I’m surprised it doesn’t have more views
2019 - the nostalgia is overwhelming 😭
Yes I agree. It hit me so hard recently
2024 and still love this song , had the lyrics in my head
My son: "His voice kind of sound like Olaf's." .... Great son thanks for that awesome detail...

to rest
to watch tv
to see if Bert is there
Que relíquia viu .foi umas das primeiras banda de rock que comecei escutar na minha adolescência 😮. nostalogia
