Crawling
Linkin Park.. 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)
Linkin Park's song "Crawling" speaks to the struggle of dealing with internal demons and anxiety. The opening lines "Crawling in my skin, these wounds, they will not heal" express the pain and frustration that come with constantly battling inner demons. The line "fear is how I fall, confusing what is real" shows that the singer is experiencing a sense of confusion and is unable to distinguish between what is real and what is not.
The next lines "there's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface; consuming, confusing; this lack of self-control I fear is never ending; controlling" speak to the feeling of being consumed by one's inner turmoil and feeling like there is no way out. The singer feels like they are losing control and that the struggle they face is unending. The line "I can't seem to find myself again" shows that the singer has lost touch with who they are as a person and is struggling to regain their sense of self.
The repeated refrain "Crawling in my skin, these wounds they will not heal; fear is how I fall, confusing what is real" acts as a constant reminder of the pain and struggle that the singer is experiencing. The second verse expands upon these themes, expressing feelings of discomfort and lack of control.
Overall, "Crawling" is a powerful song about the struggle with mental health and the constant battle to regain a sense of control and self-awareness.
