Easily the most cinematic song on this list, The Used's The Bird And The Worm features haunting strings, pounding drums and choral vocals. The atmosphere created by this track is practically tangible, and it's aided by some deliberatively cryptic and ambiguous lyrics. The lyrics detail a person attempting to deal with some sort of threat, whether internal or external it's never really clear. The line terrified of what's inside, to save his life he crawls like a worm from a bird may be referring to something literal or metaphorical, but the ambiguity makes it open to personal interpretation. The Bird And The Worm was released as the first single from The Used's third studio album Lies For The Liars, released in 2007, and is a fine example of the creepy tone that emo fans commonly enjoyed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12dBCgAo-RA
