Nightcrawling
Saint Raymond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
But never when the light breaks through
I don't know what I'm here for
I'm hiding from the blinding truth
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
Like you've done before
That moment of madness when we lose it all
You stun me to silence
I'm climbing the walls
I gotta find it, find it, find it
I'm nightcrawling to you
I'm nightcrawling to you
Something in the water
Or maybe it's the way you move
Turns me in to a monster
It's a hunger that I can't refuse
I'm calling out to you
I'm calling out to you
I need you to save me
Like you've done before
That moment of madness when we lose it all
You stun me to silence
I'm climbing the walls
I gotta find it, find it, find it
I'm nightcrawling to you
I'm nightcrawling to you
Nightcrawling
Nightcrawling
Nightcrawling
Nightcrawling
Gonna find it
Gonna find it
Gonna find it, find it, find it
I see you when the night falls
But never when the light breaks through
Something in the water
Or maybe it's the way you move
I'm nightcrawling to you
I'm nightcrawling to you
I'm nightcrawling to you
I'm nightcrawling to you
Nightcrawling
Nightcrawling
Nightcrawling
Nightcrawling
In the lyrics of "Nightcrawling" by Saint Raymond, the singer expresses a sense of confusion and a search for purpose, feeling lost and disconnected from reality. The imagery of seeing someone only in the darkness and hiding from the truth suggests a longing for escape from the harsh realities that daylight often brings. The repeated calls for this unknown figure in the night show a desperate need for connection or salvation, as if reaching out for a lifeline in the darkness of their own thoughts.
The plea for salvation and mention of a past moment of madness where everything was lost hints at a turbulent and uncertain past, where this person they are calling out to had a significant impact on them. The lines "You stun me to silence" and "I'm climbing the walls" suggest a power dynamic where the presence of this individual brings both overwhelming silence and chaos to the singer's life. The repetition of "find it" reflects a determined quest for something elusive, perhaps seeking answers or a way out of their current state of despair.
The mention of "something in the water" or the way this person moves creating a transformative effect on the singer points to the intoxicating influence this person holds over them. The comparison to turning into a monster and feeling an irresistible hunger suggests a complex and intense attraction that the singer struggles to resist. There is a sense of being drawn into a world of desire and temptation, with the singer feeling unable to control themselves in the presence of this person.
The refrain of "Nightcrawling" repeated throughout the song underscores the theme of seeking solace or connection in the darkness, as if the night provides a temporary escape from the struggles of the day. The repeated calls to this person in the night reinforce the idea of a deep yearning or dependence on them for some form of emotional rescue or understanding. The closing lines mirror the opening, creating a sense of cyclical longing and a continuous search for meaning or connection in the shadows. Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a tumultuous relationship or inner conflict, where the singer is caught between seeking salvation and being consumed by their desires.
