Interpretation: this song is about unmedicated schizophrenia and homelessness. His backpack being his only belongings due to the difficulty of being independent with such an illness, "if he can't relieve it, it grows", "terrified of what's inside", strangers whose glances hurt either because of stigma against homelessness and schizophrenia or hallucinations, viewing dangers around him and feeling unworthy of those "above" him in the food chain of society.
as someone with manic depression and a history of homelessness. I agree. This song has changed meaning over the years, but as i experienced homelessness, it made sense. The entire song did. A beautiful serenade to a disaster of a situation. i would also wager the “all he knows, if he can’t relieve it, it grows. and so it goes (so it goes)”, Is referencing the drug addiction that can be a symptom of those feelings of loneliness and fear of the mental illness as a whole. Which can just perpetuate the homelessness, hence “and so it goes”… Very very good writing.
just searched the bird and the worm because i wanted to listen to Owl City. Clicked on the first video without reading the title. I am not disappointed. this slams!
This is a nostalgic song. I remember blaring this song multiple times every day, to and from high school in 2007 and 2008. Still to this day one of my favorites.
I remember downloading this song off limewire back in the and i swear it was someone recording it from their pc cause you could hear all the windows clicking noises
