Worm
Unseen Struggles: Exploring the Depths of Inner Turmoil through Quinn Cicala's 'Worm'
Lyrics
Worm
Introduction: The title "Worm."
All my troubles go unheard
Feeling unnoticed or overlooked in facing challenges.
When you nudge your head right into my brain and affect my nerves
Expressing emotional intimacy, where someone's presence deeply affects the speaker.
Simple touch
Highlighting the significance of a simple touch.
You think that it'd be enough
Questioning whether a simple touch can resolve complex issues.
Any time something goes right everything gets worse
Observing that when something goes well, other aspects of life may worsen.
And the right time comes but I just don't have the urge
Despite the right time, lacking the motivation or desire.
Bird
Introducing the motif of a bird, possibly symbolizing freedom or escape.
Did you really want me first?
Questioning if the speaker was genuinely desired first by someone.
Can I get hurt if I get lost and take a wrong turn?
Raising the possibility of getting hurt by taking unexpected paths.
Well you thought I'd learn
Reflecting on the expectation that the speaker would learn from experiences.
A thing or two about using words
Acknowledging a lack of proficiency in using words effectively.
To make my view a little foggier when you need me to lean into yours
Describing a deliberate obscuring of the speaker's perspective to align with others.
Another day becomes a blur and then I just head to work
Transitioning to the routine of daily life, heading to work.
I don't wanna be like my ancestors it's a curse
Expressing a desire to break away from familial patterns or history.
It's a curse
Reiterating the idea that following ancestral paths is burdensome.
Another day becomes a blur
Repetition of the idea that days become indistinct or hazy.
Another day becomes a blur
Repetition, emphasizing the repetitive nature of days becoming unclear.
Another day becomes a blur
Repetition, reinforcing the concept of days blurring together.
Another day becomes a blur
Repetition, underscoring the persistent theme of days losing distinction.
Worm
Reiteration of the title "Worm."
All my troubles go unheard
Restating the feeling of troubles being unheard in the presence of a significant other.
When you nudge your head right into my brain and affect my nerves
Reiterating the impact of someone's presence on the speaker's thoughts and emotions.
