The Used Gets Their Start
The Used formed in Orem, Utah. Drummer Branden Steineckert
was the person who got everyone together to make music. The
area is known for its large Mormon population, not for its
incredible punk rock scene, so The Used had a lot of
trouble finding venues that would let them play. The Used's
luck changed when they were signed to Reprise Records. The
Used's hit songs include A Box Full of Sharp Objects, The
Taste of Ink.

because he rebelled against his Mormon upbringing.

Review about The Used
what he whispers | Reviewer: bleuforest@gmail.com
------ About the song The Bird And The Worm performed by The Used
I just got an awesome new pair of earphones and i can hear what they're saying in the whispered part of the song. i'm not sure if somebody else has put this already, but whatever. here it is:
just keep walking
just keep walking
don't tell me
(just a minute)
don't tell me
(i'm sorta scared)
it's okay
don't tell me please
...that's it. a bit of it overlaps but i did the best i could :)

------ About the song On My Own performed by The Used
hey you the guy saying nobody should relate to this song fuck you! you don't have to go through the exact same thing did you? no! it's impossible to do that! let these people relate to Bert's music he's been thru alot of shit yes, but his music opens the minds of listeners and helps them realize how they feel. Fuck off!
Drugs... | Reviewer: Brett!
------ About the song Bulimic performed by The Used
I think that this song is about drug addiction...to either cocaine or heroin..or maybe even both. I think its about cocaine addiction because he says "a line's a dime". I think it could also be about heroin addiction because they have other songs that i know are about heroin...so i thought i would put that out there.
the meaning?? LOOK! | Reviewer: EllexShin
------ About the song Blue And Yellow performed by The Used
"[Blue and Yellow is] really close to my heart. I wrote it about Quinn—our relationship and how close we are. The first day we met was special; he's just one of those people that you meet in your life that's special. You know you're going to be with this person forever and you know you're going to be close to that person. And it's pretty much about being in a band with someone ... being around someone 24 hours a day is really hard thing to do, and sometimes we don't get along the greatest, but if it came down to it, I'd much rather be Quinn's friend than be in a band with Quinn. That's how close our relationship is. It's great. That's how close that song is to me—I love it."
thats exactly what Bert said

------ About the song On My Own performed by The Used
Okay.. All you guys saying this relates to your life.. It doesn't! Well, not as much as you think it does. Bert McCracken when he was 16, he had no friends, no family, no money, he was on the streets and addicted to crystal meth! When you guys realize how terrible that is, and it has actually happened to you, then this song relates to you. Until then, stop whining to people on the fucken internet that you don't even know, about problems that everybody fucken, and go fix those problems! Look at Bert now! He fixed his fucken problems, and that is why I admire him! Arrogant, ignorant people piss me off..

------ About the song The Taste Of Ink performed by The Used
This Song means so much to me, I can relate to it so well, I can't WAIT to get out of this place, to finally be free. The Used is my ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND! They inspire me so much and i won't ever stop listening to them. And, even better, Bert McCracken is the CUTEST MOST ATTRACTIVE MAN ON EARTH. I LOOOOVE HIM SO MUCH-EEEEEP! Quinn is a cutey, too...;)....and don't EVER forget JEPHA!!!!!

------ About the song The Bird And The Worm performed by The Used
i know so many people have opinions on this song after almost trying to read them all until i noticed how many pages there were... i started calling myself an idiot for reading so much. it was the most i ever read in a day lol.
i agree to most of your interpretations of him being rejected, i also agree that this could be about drugs. although i don't believe you actually heard him say it.
i think almost everyone is right because in the end of the video you can see someone helping him, which can help the opinion of it being love. i also agree it can be someone hurting him. i don't think it's his dad because that would sound like your absolutely sure it's someone hurting him. although it could be because that person can be the bird and him being the worm trying to get away but knows he can't. it could also be drugs as them being the bird and as trying to get away like being trying to give them up but knowing they will always be in his mind, devouring him on the inside. the staring part could be people looking at him mysteriously like something's wrong with him or thinking less of him like being a worm. it can be problems in school like a bully being a worm.
apparntly no one is sure what this song is talking about, they could know but not be sure. i hope this interpretation gives you the courage to write your opinion. i'm sure a lot of people may like it and think it's the right answer, if they don't, then don't act like it's the end of the world or anything.

------ About the song The Bird And The Worm performed by The Used
i'm not really sure how you spell continueation but you really can't call me an idiot for that, i'm only 10. anyway i stopped righting because i stuck my foot into my garbage with all my papers unknowingly and got a staple caught in my foot, forgive me but it REALLY F****** HURTS!!!
i think it may be about just trying to get away from one's life and just take a break. i'm sure almost everyone wants a break from always having to make decisoins in their lives. maybe the person just wants to be able to have time to think abgout things and not having to rush and make a decision as fast as they can. yea so keep up the guessing about the meaning of this song. oh and this is the best song i've ever heard!!! yep, i actually used an !. also i am addicted to w101 if you want to find me check wolf ravenblade or blake duskwraith.
Wow...grow up? | Reviewer: Brett
------ About the song All That I've Got performed by The Used
Okay..first of all i just want to say some of these reviews aren't even about the song..which is really annoying. People start talking about the song and then they start to talk about posing and opinions and things and really it doesn't matter. None of you people know each other and cannot read each other's minds so just leave it alone, drop it. Maybe try talking about the song more and leave it at that don't go on about how your opinion means more because you've been through what they've been through and shit like that. No one cares. Sorry but it is the truth. I actually don't even know why I am commenting or whatever on here...but i think that you guys should just like talk about what this song means to you and things like why you like it or what you think it means. Don't talk shit about dumb things. It's pointless and it will get you nowhere.
it helped | Reviewer: Ashley
------ About the song Yesterday's Feelings performed by The Used
When I found out I was going to a different school I was devastated. My best friend is coming with but I have three besties. And then I also have a boyfriend. </3 I cried every morning. Only the mornings though...I listened to my ipod and came across this song... it helped me so much. This only happened a few days ago. Now I'm happy to go. I was supposed to go this middle school but they didn't accept open enrollment. So I went to a different. Then I'm going their but it also helps my mom. She is getting transferred to a different station. Anyways, this song helped me so much. I went from depressed and sad to happy and proud. >>>---(¯'v'¯)---> <3

------ About the song Pretty Handsome Awkward performed by The Used
God, some of the people reviewing this need to calm down and grow up.
The song IS about Gerard, but who cares? They're fine with each other now (as previously stated, not friends but "cool"). This is just ONE of the interviews where the band hints at what P.H.A is about:
cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users13/heyohereiam/default/hah-bert-mccracken-makes-laugh--large-msg-116483917863.jpg
I'm not a very big fan of Bert McCraken as a person but I don't think people should be mocking his music just because they are bigger fans of Gerard Way.
I'm sure Gerard isn't sitting at a computer saying "I'm so glad all these people are ragging on Bert, it warms my heart"
-_-
Methinks thateverybody on here needs to calm down a little.
Bert, Gerard, Booze and Kurt Kobain... | Reviewer: Portiaaar
------ About the song Pretty Handsome Awkward performed by The Used
Omg the video to this makes me feel like i'm wasted lol.
It's super trippy!
So, yeah, Bert did admit it's about Gerard, vaguely, he kept coming up with all these hints about him, which were quite blatantly Gerard.
And while I personally think it's a bit pathetic, and I commend Gerard for being more mature about it, I do agree with the person who said it's no different than writing about an ex girlfriend or something.
But anyway, it's an amazing song, fair play, from a very talented band.
Oh, and to all the people saying to stay on topic - it IS on topic, we're talking about what the song's written about/means, can't get much more on topic than that!
Ooh, and last thing, does anyone else think Bert looks a bit like Kurt Kobain when he's incredibly angry & wearing Courtney's eyeliner!?
this is the shit! | Reviewer: Ronnie G

------ About the song Poetic Tragedy performed by The Used
I love this song but I have always had an issue with the posted lyrics... Every website that posts the lyrics says "...and he takes his life". I have listened to the song a thousand times and I can't find this part. To me it sounds like he says "then he yells, and he yells" or "then he yells" and then something else with three syllables. Can anyone actually hear him say the words "and he takes his life" or is that what is written in the official cd jacket or something?
Love it. <3 | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song All That I've Got performed by The Used
I love this song, and every other song this band has recorded.
It just has so much meaning, as does the rest of the album. This album is my fav by far, but their other albums are still kickass.
Can't wait for Artwork to be released!!
hi, yeah. | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song It's Hard To Say performed by The Used
the meaning behind the lyrics; his girlfriend had OD'd when she was pregnant, she killed herself and the baby. he finds it so hard to say he misses her as it wasn't his fault and the circumstances they were in. i find it great they way they reach out to so many people without even really knowing. kudos :)
sibling? | Reviewer: Raven
------ About the song Liar Liar (Burn In Hell) performed by The Used
I'm not too sure but the way he's speaking, it sounds as if he's talking to a child like on the part where he says: "Bet your tummy hurts you, you mother fucker
mother never loved you,
father touched you with the hand of god" and of course the "Liar liar pants on fire" part
So maybe it's about an angry, jealous, older sibling telling all of this to the younger sibling, because he thinks the parents like his little brother better then him, so he hates him.
The lyrics are supposed to sound immature and childish for a reason, but that's just my opinion.
It's a very good song by the way :)
