Song Meaning of “Covered With Maggots” by Resurrected
Covered With Maggots reflects on our unconscious fears and the darkness that lies in the depths of our minds. The song speaks to a deep-seated fear of death and an inability to control our lives, no matter how hard we try. It’s a reminder of mortality and of how our physical bodies inevitably break down. Despite this fear, the song also speaks to a need to embrace life with resilience and optimism. The lyrics, “Live your life, it’s just a game/Bury the past, hold on to the flame” speaks to an emotional courage and strength to fight against the death and decay. The song ultimately encourages us to stay strong and use our suffering to become stronger, wiser and more determined. The visceral imagery of being literally “covered with maggots” points to a recognition of our own fallibility and vulnerability – something which all of us can use to guide us in our lives.
