Crawl
Contagion Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Describe your life
Describe your pain
Inscribe your rage
Coarse through your veins

Decide your will
Deny your fate
Restrain your anger

Evolve the hate

Crawl to my mind
Crawl to my mind

Just leave me here
In my righteous hell
Don't tell me how
You think this feels

Waste away this flesh
Suffer this time
Don't tell me now
You know my mind

This life I know
This life I lead
The guilt you bring
Is all I need

Crawl to my mind
Crawl through my tears
Crawl to my life
Feed off your fear

Crawl to my mind

Crawl through my tears
Crawl to my life
Feed off your fears

Killing me slowly
This little death
Swallow the truth
Tell us to believe

Overcome the lies
That set you free
This life I know
This life I lead

Crawl to my mind
Crawl to my mind
How could you possibly know how I feel?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Contagion’s song Crawl are dark and intense, reflecting feelings of pain, rage, and anger. The singer challenges the listener to describe their life, pain, and inscribe their rage, inviting them to crawl into their mind. The singer expresses a sense of righteous anger, refusing to be told how someone else thinks they feel, and demanding that they crawl to their mind and feed off of their fear.

The repeated line “Crawl to my mind” is a powerful, almost menacing invitation, as if the singer has something to reveal that can only be accessed through submission. The second half of the song shifts focus to overcoming lies and swallowing the truth. The singer acknowledges the little death that comes with the healing process, and encourages the listener to embrace the life they lead.

Overall, the song captures the pain and anger of feeling misunderstood, and the twisted power dynamics that can arise when one person tries to control or manipulate another.
