The Used Band Members: # Bert McCracken # Jeph Howard # Branden Steineckert # Quinn Allman 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. The Used - Did U Know? # Bert McCracken's parents kicked him out of the house because he rebelled against his Mormon upbringing. # Before being discovered by Reprise Records, The Used survived on the streets by pan-handling (beggi More... (Submit New The Used Lyrics) (Submit New The Used Lyrics) Awesome | Reviewer: Frosty ------ About the song The Bird And The Worm performed by The Used though many different interpretations will exist i personally see it as a song about rejection in general.. His backpack is all that he knows - i see that verse as he has been rejected so much he finds comfort in it much like a child does with a teddy bear simply because it has never left him... Shot down by strangers whose glances can cripple The heart and devour the soul - i see this one as the pain and\or heartbreak you would feel after said rejection.. The weight pushes him whispering Must have been out of his mind Mid-day delusions of pushing this out of his head - him trying desperately to forget the said rejection.. and him blaming himself calling himself stupid for even trying.. 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 - as he recovers from the rejection he stands there stunned with lack of breath.. and his seclusion from everyone to keep himself from said pain and rejection.. yea.. i see alot of rejection in this one... the onli thing that makes sense | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song I caught fire (in your eyes) performed by The Used well i gues this song is the onli thing that makes sense about love , because love doesnt make sense itself does it? everytime i hear this song i just wana b with mi boyfreind and stay there for longer and never let go , in so many ways he's saved me , physically, if i never knew him i'd probably be dead , so if your reading this , i love you.x this is such an amzing song , i love The Used.x Well I just HAD to put my two cents in... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song I'm A Fake performed by The Used Well god fucking damn it. I don't even know how to deal with some of these people. We can all agree - cutting is generally. But I can see how it helps people. It's fairly simple, if you give yourself physical pain, it helps get rid of your emotions and stress. The sight of blood, for most people, is a wake up call, and makes them feel alive. Fuck all of you who say that everyone does it for attention. That is not fucking true. Some people do, but there are people out there that cut and NO ONE knows. Ever written an entire love letter in blood? I have. Works like a charm. "Actions speak louder than words", well, there's an action that people can't argue with. At least, with blood, its the highest price, and people know that you are serious about your feelings. NO, I'm NOT fucking emo, and I don't cut. Just that once. People need to realize that emo IS normal (hint - EMOtional). To not have any fucking emotions in this world is stupid, because there is so much to feel, even if it hurts, its better than being numb. What's the point of living if you don't feel ALIVE?! The Used are amazing, this SONG is amazing, and who the fuck are some of you to criticize and judge? I feel for Relavo... this world does fucking suck and it's getting worse and worse each day. Songs like this should be a siren to the type of world we live in, and the problem is that, by ourselves, we can't change a damn thing. I always loved this song, always will <3 | Reviewer: k.kraze.XD ------ About the song Blue And Yellow performed by The Used I dont see this song having much to do about jealousy except for the first verse- "And it's all in how you mix the two, And it starts just where the light exists. It's a feeling that you cannot miss, And it burns a hole, Through everyone that feels it." ( mixing the two could mean the two colors that stand for jelousy or envy or it could mean mixing two people-and there emotions. If he does mean jelousy "it starts just where the light exsist"- it starts when you fall in love with someone, sometimes you cant help being jelous- and it is indeed a feeling you cannot miss, and "it burns a hole through everyone who feels it" meaning it leaves behind something permanent and something that you can see. but I do see the meaning of this song simply being love, and wanting to be with someone but you cant (Well you're never gonna find it, If you're looking for it, Won't come your way,yeah Well you'll never find it, If your looking for it.) the line -"Should've done something, but I've done it enough. By the way, your hands were shaking. Rather waste some time with you." I think he means he wanted to do more for her but he felt he had done enough and her hands shaking were a sign of just that. Also, her hands shaking made him realize that he wouldnt wanna do anything else then " waste some time with you " this is one of my favorite songs, I love the used- Allthough I think there older lyrics are better then there newer ones- they are amazing XD Amazing | Reviewer: Meggan Rae ------ About the song Buried Myself Alive performed by The Used This song is fucking amazing..and honestly there are so many different ways to interpurt it. but everyone interpurts things in a different way. like to me it makes me think of him giving up on someone and that person finally realizing that he gave up and wanting him back. i dunno it could be because that's what i'm going thru, bulimia | Reviewer: dontbeanasshole ------ About the song Buried Myself Alive performed by The Used in my opinion, i think this song was meant to be interpritted both literally and in a deeper level depending on who you are. because i have been battling an eating disorder for a number of years now, i understand exactly how he could be talking to his. this kind of makes me sound crazy, but for many people suffering from eating disorders, they are like seperate things inside of them. and when you're trying to beat it your basically "arguing" with it. it's not something you can just ignore. but at the same time, i know that people who do not suffer from an eating disorder do not at all understand them, so for them it could also be interpritted as some other relationship. but i would appreciate it if you wouldn't call other peoples views stupid, because no one said that it was absolutly positively the only way it could be interpritted, and as far as i knew, people were entitled to their own opinions. Light With A Deeper Meaning | Reviewer: Aaron ------ About the song Light With A Sharpened Edge performed by The Used I personally agree with the anonymous guy. I think that if Bert wasn't writing about her it wouldn't have seemed that way the very second I heard it. I mean...to me this song means so much else but to him it is his personal feelings, ya 'know? Well, either way. I love the new stuff but I'd have to say the old stuff is better. I'm pretty pissed off at all these kids saying, "OMGEE I LOVE THE USED," all due to the new album when fans like us have loved them since 'The Taste of Ink' or those who knew the guys beforehand. . | Reviewer: dannyDanceonyourmother ------ About the song A Box Full Of Sharp Objects performed by The Used people. you are oblivious to the real facts about this song:) this song was the 3rd produced song by the used and was written by quinn and bert in there last few days in utah befor they wnet to meet there first band producer john fieldmen,the song is not about any pain and esspecialy "cutting yourself" you depressed know it all,it's the song that actualy braught them out,this is a song about being proud of what the used wer doing,and forfulling there dreems "a box of sharp objects" represents the time on paper with quarter notes...dooche bags:P "/ | Reviewer: me ------ About the song The Bird And The Worm performed by The Used for me..this song reminds me of my ex. lets say bob. -He wears his heart safety pinned to his backpack = he has a back pack and on it it has a broken heart. bob puts a safty pin over the broken heart. His backpack is all that he knows = he always had that backpack and he kept all his secrets in that. Shot down by strangers Whose glances can cripple The heart and devour the soul = i believe bob has been through hell..so many ppl put him down! and the looks ppl give him. i can go on bt it would be to long.. bt the song is so much like bob its unreal! its amazing actually! obviously | Reviewer: thinkdamnit!! ------ About the song Bulimic performed by The Used Obviously the point of this song can't be pin pointed by anyone else but the writer. He or she may have wrote this song just because. Most writers like to make people think and hope the readers (and/or listeners) can relate or just enjoy it. it means so much | Reviewer: rae ------ About the song It's Hard To Say performed by The Used i'm crying now. im going through such a tough time atm, and a horrid falling out with my bestfriends, and my other close friend is leaving to bali for a couple of weeks. and everything, my emotions are just finally escaping, because of these amazing lyrics. i feel almost free. crying | Reviewer: rae ------ About the song It's Hard To Say performed by The Used i'm crying now. im going through such a tough time atm, and a horrid falling out with my bestfriends, and my other close friend is leaving to bali for a couple of weeks. and everythings just finally escaping, because of these amazing lyrics. The pain | Reviewer: Vince ------ About the song On My Own performed by The Used same here...but my girlfriend died in my arms and ive been listening to this song a lot. its sad having to deal with life like this. every time i listen to this song tears fall from my face for a long time. I try to remember everything we did but its nothing but hell and sadness im going through now that im dead on the inside. theused<3 | Reviewer: grapfruit ------ About the song Sound Effects And Overdramatics performed by The Used i think that the used are the best fucking band there ever was. and even if the song is about but sex who cares BUT SEX IS AWESOME! but seriously go fuck yourself if you dont like the used because if you dont. then you dont no what good music is <3 <3 | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song On My Own performed by The Used omg! me too! i love this song so much! i just LOVE the used, especially find a way! the best song EVER! they are def. the best things that ever happend to music! there's just soo much emotion in all of their songs. and like people can actually relate to them! my <3br8k xxx | Reviewer: kriyztineee ------ About the song Blue And Yellow performed by The Used i used to think this song was boring and a putdown to the used but i went back over the lyrics after i had a complete heartbreak with my crush cuz he was all over this other girl and i realize this song fits excactly into this situation. its about jealousy and love. the worst part was i was never ever gonna see hiom ever again 4 the rest of the summer and the part "should of done something, but ive done it enough" means a lot to me. i should of said sometihng to him cuz i didnt even get to say goodbye. the part "rather waste some time with you" means i just want to be with him and the part "well you're never gonna find it if your looking for it" means i thought that day it was gonna be my day with him. i was looking forward to it, and i gues we build up things so much it cant possibly b what we expect of it..its probably irony talking. it means different thing to different listeners and i hope u like this song as much as i do =} | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song It's Hard To Say performed by The Used the lyrics get through my heart.. it has a loud meaning..very simple yet suprisingly amazing.. this is a must heard song... i've been listening to this song ever since i accidentally heard this.. for the very first time in my life i cried over a song...hahaha metephorical vs. literal | Reviewer: youguysarestupid ------ About the song Buried Myself Alive performed by The Used yes, bert used to be bulimic, but i really don't think this song is meant to be taken in such a literal sense. the line 'i puked the day away' does not literally mean throwing up. I believe what he means is he's gotten it out of his memory, and no longer is thinking of it. your bulimia theory doesn't match the rest of the song.. 'if you want me back, you're going to have to ask nicer than that.' i honestly don't think that an eating disorder can 'ask' to come back. nonetheless, if the song is about him overcoming it, like you said, then he would ignore it all together, not tell it to ask nicer. Pop | Reviewer: Fxck ------ About the song The Ripper performed by The Used This song is... good... However... IS not like... Take it away... Or other old songs... Its more punk than the other songs from older albums.... Some of the new songs are kinda sticky.... Which isn't soo good... Pop music DX lmao...your right | Reviewer: bk ------ About the song A Box Full Of Sharp Objects performed by The Used you are so right about this bieng about music... in an interview with the used they say pretty much the same thing you just said... Various quotes from The Used regarding this song: "This is the song that first attracted John Feldmann to our band. We were sending him mp3s of our songs as we wrote them. This is the one that really stood out to him and made him decide to produce our band." "This is a song about being proud of what we were doing for once and and loving music to the fullest. The idea actually came from some sheet music. A box full of sharp objects represents a measure of time on paper with quarter notes. We all thought that it was a very strong metaphor." "It's the song that we really realized that working together and having the different influences we all have could work really good for us." "We played it at our first show ever back in Provo and we had 3 ballerinas dancing on stage during it. It was beautiful, they were all in black and had pale face makeup on. it was amazing, but some of the kids didn't seem to really get it."
