Crawl
Fluffy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't even know myself
Everything I think is you
I don't even take a breath
Until you've told me to

[Chorus:]
My lie is true, my lie is true
It is I swear to you
My lie is true, my lie is true
It is I swear to you

You don't want to
You don't want to see me crawl

Do you know how hard I try
To never let you see me cry?
I seem to have too much control
And now I feel cold

[Chorus]

I don't want to
I don't want to
I don't want to, want to, want to
I don't want you
I don't want you
I don't want you, want you, want you
You don't want to
You don't want to see me crawl

And I don't even know myself
Every thought I think is you
I don't even take a breath
Until you have told me to

[Chorus]

You don't want to
You don't want to see me crawl




No, you don't want to
No, you don't want to see me crawl

Overall Meaning

Here, they reveal their personal thoughts and emotions revolve fully around the love interest, indicating that they might have lost their sense of self.


The chorus of the song further highlights the singer's subservience, as they swear oath that their "lie is true" to the subject indicating that they will do anything to keep the relationship alive. The phrase "My lie is true" suggests that the singer might be lying to themselves or to the love interest, leading to the interpretation that the relationship is built on false premises.


The second verse reveals an inner struggle that the singer is facing. "Do you know how hard I try / To never let you see me cry?" highlights the singer's attempt to maintain an illusion of strength in the relationship. In this, they acknowledge their emotional vulnerability and the power dynamic that exists between them and the love interest. It's revealed that they have been practicing control and hiding their true feelings but are beginning to feel cold now.


As the song progresses, the chorus is repeated, emphasizing the singer's complete dependency on the love interest's preference. The singer tries to rebel, stating: "I don't want to, want to, want to / I don't want you, want you, want you," but ultimately caves in, reaffirming that they are willing to do whatever it takes to keep the relationship alive.


Overall, the lyrics of "Crawl" suggest a toxic and dependent relationship where the singer is struggling to remain true to themselves while ceding control to their lover. It portrays an image of obsession, submission, and self-thoughtlessness.
