Crawling
D.A. Sebasstian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But its not a part of me
I can't see you light
The light that sets me free
Something crawling in my head
The thing you take from me
This time se what I've become
Something crawling in my head
Please give it back to me
So now what have I become
A part of you in me
A part of you in me
A part of you in me
The lyrics of D.A. Sebasstian's song, "Crawling," seem to convey a sense of being possessed or controlled by something that is not a part of oneself. The repeated phrase "something crawling in my head" suggests a sense of discomfort or even pain, as though the singer is struggling with an intruder in their mind.
The lyrics also suggest a sense of powerlessness or resignation, as though the singer has already accepted that this "something" is a part of them. The line "This time see what I've become" implies that the singer has changed somehow, and that this change is a result of the mysterious presence in their head.
At the same time, there is a sense of hope or possibility in the final lines of the song. The appeal for the "something" to be given back suggests a desire to regain control or autonomy, and the repetition of "a part of you in me" could be interpreted in multiple ways. It could suggest that the presence in the singer's head is a manifestation of someone else's influence, or it could suggest that there is a deeper connection between the singer and the "something" than they have yet realized.
Overall, the lyrics of "Crawling" convey a complex and compelling sense of struggle, transformation, and ambiguity.
Line by Line Meaning
Something crawling in my head
There is a disturbing sensation in my mind that detracts from my sense of self
But its not a part of me
It is an external force that I cannot control
I can't see you light
I am unable to perceive the guidance and clarity that your insight provides
The light that sets me free
The illuminating power that releases me from the grip of confusion
The thing you take from me
You have removed an important aspect of who I am
This time see what I've become
Realize the extent to which I have changed since the thing was taken
A part of you in me
I have assimilated a trait or quality of yours into my own being
Please give it back to me
I implore you to return the thing that was taken from me
So now what have I become
I question the person I have become without the thing that was taken
A part of you in me
The assimilation of the trait or quality of yours is still evident in my current state
A part of you in me
The trait or quality that was incorporated into my being by you still remains
