2. Aiden Smith and James Crone are more frequently known as Hybrid Theory – a fast-rising duo of producers becoming increasingly reputable through their eclectic style and sickening work-rate. Throwing out a heap of music in the past year, the pair have strong roots in the UK underground scene which seaps through into their music with effortlessness and enviable flair.
The pair have worked as solo producers behind the scenes under different guises until they decided to work together to devastating effect.
In 2010 James joined forces with Tom Giles to set up bass-slinging record label Four40 Records with the goal of pushing high quality electronic dance music to the masses. This has proved a great success having just released their first compilation CD featuring a range of artists that include Jamie George, Tomb Crew, Tom Shorterz and of course Hybrid Theory themselves.
Although still relatively new on the scene the duo can boast past releases on Diplos' Mad Decent label as well as Fatboy Slims' Southern Fried Records – as well as having produced official remixes for the likes of Crookers and Doorly. With support from far and wide, only helping to push the pair into the conciousness of bass music lovers the world over. Some notable supporters include BBC 1Xtra, Diplo, Eton Messy, DJ Cameo, DJ EZ and many more...

Hybrid Theory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is powerful
Confusing what is real, oh...
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
This lack of self control I find so overwhelming
Controlling... I can't seem
To find the strength within, my walls are closing in
(Without a sense of competence, and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take...)
I've felt this way before; So insecure...
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is powerful
Confusing what is real, oh...
Discomfort endlessly has laid itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem...
To find the strength within, my walls are closing in
(Without a sense of competence, and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take...)
I've felt this way before; So insecure...
Raindrops put the rhythm of the pavement
And drip from the blacktop into the basement
Traces of the rain pervade this to erase your hate
And take this from the fakeness
Raindrops put the rhythm of the pavement
And drip from the blacktop into the basement
Traces of the rain pervade this to erase your hate
And take this from the fakeness...
To find the strength within, my walls are closing in...
(Traces of the rain pervade this to erase your hate
And take this from the fakeness...)
I've felt this way before; So insecure...
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is powerful
Confusing what is real
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is powerful
Confusing what is real, oh...
The lyrics to Hybrid Theory's song "Crawling" describe a person who is struggling with their own insecurity and fear. The phrase "crawling in my skin" refers to feeling uncomfortable in one's own body and mind, and the wounds that will not heal represent emotional pain. The fear that the person is experiencing is causing them to be confused about what is real and what is not. The bridge of the song addresses the pressure that the person feels from the outside world, which is adding to their sense of incompetence and lack of control.
Throughout the song, the theme of walls closing in is repeated, which suggests a feeling of being trapped and powerless. The imagery of raindrops adds to the sense of discomfort and unease. However, the chorus suggests that there is a glimmer of hope, as the person acknowledges their fear and pain and works to find the strength within themselves to overcome it.
Overall, "Crawling" is a powerful song about struggling with internal demons and working to overcome them. The lyrics capture the feelings of fear and insecurity that many people experience, and the message of finding inner strength is one that resonates with many listeners.

A galera comenta muito sobre o vocalista, que é um monstro, mas a banda reproduz as músicas com muita perfeição. É o pacote completo. Parabéns pelo trabalho.

Há uma grande diferença em se parecer com toda a genialidade de ser.
Por mais que o rapaz pareça muito e cante, é impossível alguém ter a mesma genialidade que o Chester tinha. Somos seres ímpares.

I have never heard another singer that can come close to Chester’s vocals and sound. And he’s doing it live which is even more impressive! So cool ❤

Maybe Jon Howard of Threat Signal? If you haven't heard of him yet, check him out. He's the singer in a Canadian groove metal band and has a voice and technique similar to Chester, especially considering pitch and use of hyper compression. He even did a cover of Crawling.
