Crawling Lyrics
Crawling in my skin
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 Controlling I can’t seem To find myself again My walls are closing in Without a sense of confidence, I’m convinced 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 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 (x2) |

"Crawling in my skin, these wounds they will not heal"
Meaning the OCD is really upsetting the sufferer as in "getting under your skin" and that the OCD symptoms just won't subside.
"Fear is how I fall, confusing what is real"
When OCD sufferers get anxious and scared about the horrific thoughts and images coming into their head, it actually makes the symptoms worse (Be it violent/aggressive thoughts about your loved ones or images of being the perpetrator of a horrific crime). Because of those images, the sufferers question themselves about what they mean and fear they're becoming a bad person because of this.
"I can't seem to find myself again, my walls are closing in"
The sufferer is thinking about times before the OCD happened and they feel they can't return to normality and the "walls closing in" Is basically a metaphor of how pessimistic he/she feels about the situation.
"Against my will I stand beside my own reflection"
Basically how the sufferer see's him/herself, because of the thoughts they wonder if they're turning evil, so they look into the mirror and they see themselves as monsters.
Thanks for reading

"Crawling in my skin"
feeling like something is crawling under your skin is a well known symptom of withdrawals
"Confusing what is real"
hallucinations are common and may seem so real that you actually question reality, getting confused over whats real
"There�s something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending"
even though he wants to kick his habit, theres always something there pulling him back in. he cant control himself, he always has to have "1 last hit"
"I can�t seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence, I�m convinced
there's just too much pressure to take
I�ve felt this way before
So insecure"
His world is breaking down, hes starting to feel suicidal, its just too much pressure to handle, yet hes felt this way before from a previous heroin comedown.
"Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection"
feeling on edge, uncomfortable and restless is another symptom of heroin withdrawals, all he can think about is how uncomfortable he feels, to the point where hes looking at his own life, he cant help it, the more he thinks about him self, the more uncomfortable he feels. The more uncomfortable he feels, the more he thinks about him self (like a very bad thought loop)

Crawling in my skin
(when youre on meth, you think that bugs are crawling in your skin)
These wounds they will not heal
(you dig into your skin over and over to try and get the "bugs" out)
Fear is how I fall
(paranoia creeps in and you fall from making stupid decisions)
confusing what is real
(the drugs cloud his mind, he can't cope)

The bad experiances hes had has fucked him up so badly, hes lost his original self, and has changed as a person. I also suggests that hes recovered in the past but he cant seem to do it again.
'My walls are closing in'
Losing control?? i think 'my walls' refer to the walls of his mind and 'closing in' could mean the pressure is crushing him and he has no control over it.
'Against my will i stand beside my own reflection'
This could mean he cant even bear to acknowledge his own existence, and he dosnt want to, but of course he has too.

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
^The line "Crawling in my skin" shows the feeling, the rest means that you know you will never forget it, you'll have it live with it, you're afraid of people, what they think of you, what will they do to you, how will they treat you, that you don't even know what is real(like for example, if everyone acts like you don't exist, you wonder if you are real or not etc)
There’s something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
^that means that you hide it from other people(like from your family, or you hide your family problems from other people)
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling I can’t seem
To find myself again
^You can't control yourself and do something you don't want to, you can find yourself, your place of whatever
My walls are closing in
^The more you continue doing the above, the less options you have
Without a sense of confidence, I’m convinced
there's just too much pressure to take
^with all in your life you don't have any confidence anymore, and it's all just too much for you
I’ve felt this way before
So insecure
^You're insecure, ok i really don't know to explain this
Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
^You don't feel comfortable around people
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
^That means that you're lonely, the only person you ever see is your own reflection
Now I was writing "it", that can mean many thing, and I don't want to specify
And now about the fight in the rest of the pages(I read them all).WTF IS YOUR PROBLEM?!?!This is a site about song meanings, not about how good some bands/artists are.If you don't like the band then why did you listen to the song?And you that like the band.I understand you fell need to defend your favorite band, but don't you see that's what they want?To reply them.
Linkin Park is my favorite band, and I have good reasons for that.No one can change my mind.I don't say they are good, cause for some people they are, and for some people not.I say:I like them.If you don't, get the fuck of here and post to songs you like.
And yeah,btw, I love this song.

I was 11 at the time and started to go through a depression that would last 9 years, blaming myself for things, wishing that I could've done something and that I still missed him, I and next month as of now (18/06/08) will be the 6th July will be the 10 year anniversary.
I felt this song related to me in that as I saw it, it was a song about some one who went through something in their life which will stay with them no matter how much they try to forget or shut it out.
"These wounds, they will not heal"
Kind of reminds me that the pain I went through after will always stay there, I had to move on and get on with my life whilst still remembering what one great man taught me and made me the man I am today, one which my fiancé fell in love with.
It was also a song I listened to a lot to get through quitting smoking in a way, reminded me of the reasons why I was doing it, who I was doing it for and what was more important.
And most of all, it's the song that showed me how awesome these guys are and were until "Minutes to midnight" which I loath.
I also like the version off the album "Reanimation" a little bit more than this - the original LP version.

I have a friend that has panic disorder...when she heard this she got chills. This is almost exactly what is going through her mind when she's suffering from a panic attack. They're very scary and these words describe what she's thinking about how she's feeling...
Fear is how I fall: the reason she always falls into these panic attacks is fear of everything around her
Confusing what is real: when you're in them, everything around you doesn't seem real and it's hard to figure what is and isn't
There's something inside of me that pulls beneath the surface: it's something inside of her and it's all she knows is that it's a medical problem caused by no apparent reason
Consuming, confusing: it totally consumes her body and her mind and it's so confusing
This lack of self-control is neverending: she has no self-control
I can't seem to find myself again: she doesn't feel that she'll ever get out of it and this feeling acts as if it will never go away
Too much pressure to take: it's an attack of extreme anxiety
I've felt this way before: she's constantly suffering from these attacks
Discomfort....: her physical and mental being are extrememly full of discomfort and no matter how hard she tries she can't get comfortable
Distracting....: she can't think
Against my will I stand beside my own reflextion: it's so haunting how she can't control herself and how surreal the whole seen is
If this makes sense or not to anyone...I know that if you just listen to these words, what is being described is everything that's spinning around in her mind in a matter of moments and this spinning will not stop. Fear consumes her body and she absolutely cannot get out of any of that fear...It's a horrible thing to go through, but this song and many, MANY other Linkin Park lyrics give her a sense of comfort...knowing that perhaps there's someone else who knows how's she's feeling or how she's felt...

In the video, the girl (Katelyn Rosaasen) is physically abused by her father. At the beginning, we can see all her bruises. Many of the lyrics demonstrate how hard it is to break the cycle of abuse ("These wounds, they will not heal" and "It's haunting, how I can't seem to find myself again, my walls are closing in"), and how self-confidence is crushed. The blue crystal background closes in on her at the beginning of the first chorus - this shows an emotional shell that she has built around her. The thick make-up is like a mask, trying to hide what's going on inside. The septum ring is designed to link with Chester's lip ring. When the girl walks away from her boyfriend, it's because she's too scared to get close to people. This is also true for the high school bathroom scene. When Chester sings, "Against my will I stand beside my own reflection," he and Katelyn are looking at each other. She looks like she wants to get out of the shell she's in. She also sees painful memories from her past in the crystal. When the second chorus starts, the crystal begins to break and chunks of it are flying about - this is her shell falling down. It represents her father's departure, as does her smiling at the end with the roses in the vase. She's not wearing the thick make-up because she doesn't feel like she needs the protection of a mask - she's got nothing to hide from.

'Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real':- In simple terms, this is just saying how powerful fear is. The flashbacks of whatever this person have done keep coming back, hence why their wounds are crawling and not healing.
'There’s something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling':- Something inside of this person keeps picking away at them, making them unable to forget about the past and let go of who they have become to be...it's a never-ending cycle and it's controlling them.
'I can’t seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence, I’m convinced
there's just too much pressure to take
I’ve felt this way before
So insecure':- This person can't find the strength within to change. Hence why their walls are closing in, it's trapping them due to their lack of strength. They've felt this way before because it is a never ending cycle, as I said before. There is so much pressure on them to be a certain way that they actually can't take trying to get back to who they originally were.
'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':- They are now looking at their reflection in the mirror reluctantly, to see if they can find who they used to be. But unfortunately they can't find themselves again...they've changed into something which they don't want to be and they can't fix it.
So yeah, it's simple really - they've become something fake and want to erase the hatred they have for themselves but can't. The person they have become is there to stay (the wounds won't heal) and it's all because of the fear they have to try and change back to something that people may not approve of.
