The Used Lyrics
History
On October 5, 1999 a 4-piece band known as "Dumb Luck" was
formed by Quinn Allman, Jeph Howard, Branden Steineckert
and Ashton Johnson. Not long after the release of their EP,
Dumb Luck went through a few line-up changes. Dumb Luck was
short-lived. Eventually the band was forced to change its
name. They changed it to "Used" when singer Jeph Howard
moved to bass and Bert McCracken took over the vocals.[1]
The band sent their songs to the producer John Feldman from
the punk group Goldfinger. After he heard "A Box Full of

Review about The Used songs
The used liar liar | Reviewer: Parii
------ About the song Liar Liar (Burn In Hell) performed by The UsedThe lyrics are about religious indoctrination in terms of children and how parents in a way emotionally blackmail kids into having the same views as themselves or they will go to hell. The kid is in a way rebelling and saying that his parents are liars when they say 'you will go to hell'
Beautiful | Reviewer: Pheo
------ About the song Yesterday's Feelings performed by The UsedThe Used writes so many songs that really apply to life, I love it. When I'm unsure about my next move in life, and I'm really upset, I listen to them because then I'm reminded that things will be fine
:D | Reviewer: I was bored, so I wrote a review.
------ About the song The Bird And The Worm performed by The UsedTo that dude that said drugs: wrong. Drugs take over, and usually you don't want to get away from them until you absolutely have to. I think he wants to get away from the accusing stares, the gossipy whispers, the preppy chicks and muscular jocks who only judge.
In my opinion, he's like Angel from Angel Beats! He sits by himself, and everyone seems to think of him as the bad guy. He doesn't do what everyone else does - like Angel eating the spicy lunch that no-one else will eat. He desperately wants to fit in, but wants to get away from fitting in. Conflicting emotions, y'know?
awesome | Reviewer: liza
------ About the song Kissing You Goodbye performed by The UsedI've listened to the used since they first came out and the never cease to amaze me with their beautiful but yet ear gripping music cause their songs is just like the story of my life :) i absolutely love this song cause i had a friend to commit suicide and we pleaded for him to stay and this makes me feel better and i know he was supposed to go but i guess it was his time for real i love the used and they have some great songs that i could never grow tired of and Burt has the most beautiful voice to me :)
For the spoken lyrics in the beginning.... | Reviewer: Emily
------ About the song On The Cross performed by The UsedThe spoken lyrics in the beginning are directly from a speech made by Dr. Khalid Muhammad. That's his voice in the beginning. It took me a while to figure it out, but if you don't believe me, look it up on YouTube...
Right, so back to the song, I believe this song can be interpreted in a few different ways. I think that it's about standing out against a mold in a way. It's like one of those things you're told about when your young. You don't question it at all as a child. But when you grow older, you reflect on it and go "what the hell was I thinking?" I mean, feel free to disagree with me, but I think that's pretty much this song.
There's definitely a religious meaning to it... I mean, why else would the song be named On The Cross? Sorry :). I don't think it means that whoever the speaker is doesn't believe in any religion, I just think he found a different religious path that works better for him? Or maybe I'm just thinking of this song in a weird way :) But that's my opinion, and I think I'm entitled to one... haha!
why do you even care | Reviewer: molly
------ About the song Take It Away performed by The Usedi don't even give a shit why they argued. i love both bands, and i think they both play amazing music with epic lyrics, and though i really wish they hadn't fallen out (it would be great to see my two favourite bands together) there's fuck all i can do, so i'm just gonna sit here and love both of them.
simple.
what I think | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Sound Effects And Overdramatics performed by The UsedOkay, so when I heard this song I automatically jumped to Gay sex. I don't know if it's because I know Bert is bi, or if I'm just dirty minded :P
And then I picked out drug refrences. And then, the pregnant thing jumped out at me. I've listened to this song thousands of times and all of them seem to fit fine.
The rest of the band would probably be happy to put in whatever Bert writes if it sounds good, why ask questions? :P And none of them are homophobic otherwise why would there be two bi men in the band? XD
Anyway, it could be about all three. Or at least two at once. Maybe he's singing about getting high and having a fling with a man? Or trying to get his pregnant girlfriend off drugs? Or getting high and cheating on his pregnant girlfriend with a man? Endless possibilities! XD
Or maybe, he just wrote it to mindfuck the people listening, to see how many crazy meanings they come up with XD
Anyway, they're all valid points, but I think that drugs ties in with both the pregnant and the gay interpretations and that it isn't just entirely about drugs.
Since I jumped to the gay interpretation first and also because Bert screams "FUCK MY ASS!" 4 times during Choke Me, I personally think this song is about one of his drugged up gay experiences :P
sound effects and overdramatics | Reviewer: anonymous
------ About the song Sound Effects And Overdramatics performed by The Usedi think this song is about a guy who has a girlfriend but he is cheating on her with a guy because he's secretly gay, he is going to leave her but he finds out that his girlfriend is pregnant and feels bad about just leaving her like that. so he stays with her but he misses the other guy
My Ideas on this song... | Reviewer: Cut Up Angel
------ About the song Come Undone performed by The UsedI just read the lyric cuz I love the Used, I got there whole discography and can't wait until Vulnerable comes out. Thissong sounds so sexy and I read it and although most minds will take the lyrics as bitter against someone. I read them as he's with a woman who is totally wrong for him and she's a bad woman but it oddly turns him on. "I felt you get excited when I whispered all the things you love to hate "Teasing the woman makingher get aroused. (Hate Me) I'll be your loaded gun, (Burn Me) Waiting to come undone: This refers to he's hot for her and loves the pain and frustration but is still waiting for her to give it up, the loaded gun being metaphor for a boner. I'll set it up inside you and wathc you burn ;) you know. Giggetty. and finally i'll be the end that you deserve, says to me not only will you find happiness with me but you'll also be sexually satisfied. Although it's not just one sided the first few lines make it read as if he was at first toying with the woman then changed his direction and is now burning for her, this would also make the fire reference throughout the song have strong meaning. Absolutely amazing song, ifly you guys. Bert, Quinn, Dan and Jeph. If these guys ever saw my reviews I swear i'd die cuz they are idols. Keep on rocking....
ME GUSTA | Reviewer: Jade.
------ About the song Lunacy Fringe performed by The Useduh yes, I forgot how much I love this song, but today I found my self singing the chourus over and over again so I wanted to look up the lyrics and I thought I might just put my inturpretation is... That he is with someone that might treat him kinda like shit, and hes trying so hard to get the girl to change a little bit? maybe. And yeah hes "running on empty" because of it. :p
