Birds vs. Worms Lyrics

Self pity, me so pitiful
You can see that birds and worms don't get along
Self righteous, me so wrong, though
You can see that we don't have to get along
Self pity, me so pitiful
You can see that birds and worms do not agree
And we will crawl

It seems to me that this song is about how people don't get along. But just because you don't get along doesn't mean you have to hate and resent the person. You don't have to get along... but that doesn't mean you have to have all this hatred inside you.

Whenever I am in a low mood or depressed, this song atarts to play in my head. I think it is my body trying to cheer me up, and it usually works.

(btw, i used this song in a film about a friend's car accident. We showed pictures of the wrecked car while playing this song. It looked really cool, since we made it all grainy and had shaddows flitting everywhere. But the song really made it work.)

I love the tune of this song, its so upbeat for such a dark message. It reminds me of a vacuum cleaner for some reason, i dont know why. Thats jsut the first thing that comes to mind when i hear this song.
