Crawling
LInkin Park (Mt. Eden Edit) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence 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 how I fall
Confusing what is real
Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence 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 how I fall
Confusing what is real
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming (confusing what is real)
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling (confusing what is real)
The lyrics of Crawling by Linkin Park expresses the feeling of inadequacy, insecurity, and distress. The opening line of the song, "Crawling in my skin," describes the feeling of being trapped within oneself. The wounds in the second line refer to emotional scars that refuse to heal. The third line, "Fear is how I fall," explains that fear causes the singer to fail. The singer is uncertain about the reality around him, represented in the line "Confusing what is real."
The next lines reveal the source of the singer's strife. There is something inside him that pulls beneath the surface, causing him to feel consumed and confused. The line, "This lack of self-control I fear is never-ending," represents a deep-seated anxiety about not being able to regain control. The walls closing in represent a feeling of being trapped or confined.
The final lines restate earlier themes, and express frustration with being unable to find a way out of the current state. The chorus repeats the opening lines with slightly different emphasis, indicating that the issues the singer grapples with are not resolved.
