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
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

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
^ he felt like he was all alone, people would give him dirty looks, and he couldnt trust anyone, he was extremley lonley for most of his life, keeping only to himself
All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
^well, this would be when hes actually commiting his murders, he turned to stone, like, he was solid. because for once, he felt strong, in power, like, he was better than anyone else. and of course he was holding his breathe because he was scared he was going to get caught.
it also could be sexual, in relation to him, because he used to hang himself till he could harldy breathe and that was one of the biggest turn on's for him. so that would make sense.
Terrified of what's inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm from a bird
(all alone) Crawls like a worm from a bird
^he was very scared of what was inside of him, he had no clue why he felt the need to kill, and to save his life, he ran away. from everyone in his life. and then from the people after he killed them
Out of his mind the way pushes him, whispering
Must have been out of his mind
Midday delusions of pushing this out of his head
Make him out of his mind (out of his mind)
^he used to have fantasies of killing people, thinking only of how great it would be, he knew he shouldnt be doing this though, he knew he was crazy.
pushing this out of his mind could be actually commiting his murders, instead of just thinking about them, because he was crazy with want for them
(all alone) Crawls like worm from a bird (x2)
(all alone) crawls like a worm, crawls like a worm from a bird
^ he was all alone in the world, trying to get away from everything
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 a bird
^after he commiuted a murder, he would think about it, and he would be fine for a while, but he knew that the thought of his one murder wouldnt last, as in if "he cant relive it, it grows" he knew his need to kill would "grow", which is why he commited as many as he did.
i guess it could be used for any serial killer though, hmm
but whatever, who knows? maybe im just crazy! (:

About this guy, probably mentally ill (hallucinations, most likely). Everyone around him seems like strangers, and monsters or something like that. This gets him emo, and so mainly, he pins all his hope on his "backpack", which is probably his remaining stuff, as he leaves home or something.
All alone he turns to stone
While holding his breath half to death
Terrified of what�s inside
To save his life
He crawls like a worm from a bird
He is really scared of those demons that his mind keeps creating, and tries to run, in vain.
Out of his mind the way pushes him, whispering
Must have been out of his mind
Midday delusions of pushing this out of his head
Make him out of his mind (out of his mind)
he knows he is crazy, but that knowledge makes him even more crazy.
there. ^^
I like to think that most people (high school students included) have an innate trend to know right from wrong. Now, if you think of this song as one who hates the way he is treated (let's be honest, even though people know right from wrong, they can still be A**holes) and wants to get his vengeance.
Take a look at this segment:
"Out of his mind the way pushes him, whispering
Must have been out of his mind
Midday delusions of pushing this out of his head
Make him out of his mind (out of his mind)"
Delusions making him go insane? Imagine if you had such a moral constitution to not harm someone, yet you desperately wanted to exact revenge on those who caused you agony.
So... What if he snaps? It would go against everything he stood for. Which is why he may be "terrified of what's inside". Since it's a mental battle, he's "all alone" in his struggle. Ergo, his mental battle of right and wrong may be him crawling from the bird like the worm.

Hes a kid who's nice to everyone, even tho hes treated bad, being nice to people is all that he knows how to do; was taught was the right thing to do..
His backpack is his ego, and is shut down by bullies, who makes him feel shitty about, and hate himself.
"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"
hes trying to act like "stone" acting as if the ridicule doesn't effect him, and trying to slide away from it.
"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"
hes trying to make it seem like its just all in his head hes being bullied
"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"
it just keeps getting worse
"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"
I could relate to this song so much
he goes insane.
