Discover the story of the song > Maggot – dazey and the scouts

The lyrics are about a person who feels lost and unsure of themselves. They talk about walking for hours and feeling inhumane, but they take medication to feel better. The protagonist wonders if they're not good enough for their romantic partner, comparing themselves to a half-run over cat and the partner to a maggot. They also ask their partner about their best secret, hoping to gain trust and share their own secret of feeling like dirty laundry.
