Crawl
Coffin Break Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I find some
Usually I find none
I wish I wasn′t the person that I am
I wish was someone else
So my life continues and I wonder
If the next breath is worth the pain
Crawl into the hole
Twisted, my mind is so twisted
Is not a safe place to be
Sometimes it seems like so much trouble
Just to lift my head from a dream
Sleep used to be so safe
Except for the nightmares
But the nightmares aren't real
Truth, I search for answers
Reasons, I search for them
Change, I got to change
Control, I need to let go
Crawl as a baby crawls
Climb up from the hole
Crawl, no need to run
Climb out of the womb
Sometimes I feel so alone
Alone with everyone else
Everyone else but you, that is
Then I look into your eyes and realize
That I′m someone without you
Crawl down into my mind
Crawl into the hole
Twisted, my mind is so twisted
Is not a safe place to be
I look for answers, I look for reasons
Sometimes I find some
Usually I find none
I wish I wasn't the person that I am
I wish was someone else
So my life continues and I wonder
If the next breath is worth the pain
Crawl as a baby crawls
Climb up from the hole
Crawl, no need to run
Climb out of the womb
The lyrics of Coffin Break's song Crawl reflect a person struggling with their own identity and place in the world. The opening lines express a sense of uncertainty and a search for meaning, suggesting that the singer is grappling with questions that they cannot answer. Their wish to be someone else hints at a deep dissatisfaction with themselves or their circumstances. The repetition of the line "crawl down into my mind, crawl into the hole" creates a haunting, introspective mood that reinforces the idea that the singer is struggling with inner demons.
The line "twisted, my mind is so twisted" suggests that the singer is dealing with some kind of psychological or emotional disturbance, one that makes them feel vulnerable and unsafe within their own mind. The chorus is repeated twice, emphasizing the need to climb out of the hole and crawl out of the womb, suggesting that the singer needs to go through a process of rebirth or renewal in order to emerge from their current state of confusion.
The final lines of the song suggest a sense of isolation and loneliness, which is compounded by the realization that the singer cannot be complete without another person. However, the fact that they are able to look into someone else's eyes and see themselves suggests the possibility of finding connection and healing.
Overall, Coffin Break's song Crawl conveys a sense of existential angst and an urgent search for meaning and purpose, amidst feelings of fear and vulnerability.
Line by Line Meaning
I look for answers, I look for reasons
I seek understanding and justification
Sometimes I find some
Occasionally I succeed in this quest
Usually I find none
But most of the time, I do not find what I seek
I wish I wasn't the person that I am
I feel discontent with myself
I wish was someone else
I desire to be a different person with different experiences and personality traits
So my life continues and I wonder
Thus, I persist in living and contemplate
If the next breath is worth the pain
If the struggle of living is justified by taking another breath
Crawl down into my mind
Enter the depths of my thoughts and psyche
Crawl into the hole
Enter the dark abyss within me
Twisted, my mind is so twisted
My thoughts and emotions are complicated and confusing
Is not a safe place to be
It is hazardous to venture into the recesses of my mind
Sometimes it seems like so much trouble
Occasionally, the effort of even waking up and leaving my dreams feels too daunting
Just to lift my head from a dream
Simply to halt the state of slumber is a great feat
Sleep used to be so safe
Sleep used to be a tranquil and secure state
Except for the nightmares
But terror and torment often also accompany sleep
But the nightmares aren't real
The horrors I experience in my nightmares are not truthful, tangible events
Truth, I search for answers
I pursue honesty and veracity
Reasons, I search for them
I strive to find explanations and justifications
Change, I got to change
I must alter my current state or circumstance
Control, I need to let go
I must release my desire for command and authority
Crawl as a baby crawls
Move forward at a slow and steady pace
Climb up from the hole
Ascend from the abyss and darkness I have been absorbed in
Crawl, no need to run
Move at a deliberate pace; there is no urgency
Climb out of the womb
Escape the confinement and restrictions of my current existence
Sometimes I feel so alone
Occasionally, I feel isolated and disconnected from others
Alone with everyone else
Despite being surrounded by others, I still feel secluded
Everyone else but you, that is
Except for you, my companion and confidant
Then I look into your eyes and realize
When I gaze into your eyes and ponder
That I'm someone without you
I am not complete without your presence and influence
