Crawling After You
Bass Drum of Death Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying bad to make you mine
And I know it's not ok
I can't find that perfect line
And when things are not the same
Too far down in my brain
Toss my drinks into the sky
And I'm face-down in my mind
Crawling after you
And I'm waiting for something
While you occupy my head
And it's getting far too loud
When your face is oh so proud
When I feel like I am dead
Alone all day in bed
Toss my drinks into the sky
I've been wasting all my time
And I can't get better
If I don't let you down
All night I sweat her
I can't get further down
The lyrics of Crawling After You by Bass Drum of Death showcase a person who has wasted a considerable amount of time trying to win over someone who they are madly in love with. Despite the countless attempts, nothing seems to work out, and the singer finds themselves struggling to cope with their feelings of heartbreak and rejection. In the opening lines, the singer shares their frustration of giving their all to get their love interest's attention but failing every time. They admit to their growing anxiety and uncertainty around being able to come up with the perfect line to win them over.
The desperation continues as the singer talks about the toll it's taking on their mental state. The words "Too far down in my brain" suggest that the singer is struggling with depression or some form of mental distress, which has been triggered by their unrequited love. The line "Toss my drinks into the sky" expresses their frustration and anger towards the situation, and it's easy to imagine them throwing things around in exasperation. As the chorus comes in, the singer declares that they are crawling after their love interest, waiting for something that doesn't seem to be coming. They admit that the person occupies their head, and their thoughts are getting louder and more intense. The song ends with the singer admitting that they can't get better unless they move on from their love interest, and they can't keep on sweating her all night.
