Due to my paranoia, I have reason to believe that the action of crawling may deal with the sense of insecurity, or a sense of searching for something lacking. As what the title of this posts reveals. Because I am lame and cannot think of a better post title. Or I am just lazy because I really don't care if 10 or 100 or more people read this.
It's about 3 songs.
- Crawling by Linkin Park
- Crawling in the Dark by Hoobastank
- Crawling Towards the Sun by the Hush Sound
I would like to believe that crawling is a sign of insecurity, because if you were sure of where you walked, where you tread, you would firmly step there, right? But no, you are feeling, grasping for the answer. It eludes you.
I would like to eventually dissect the songs more in depth, but I fear that I may be too inadequate to interpret them properly.
Let me just take the time to say that this is somewhat of a disclaimer. I do not declare that this is the true meaning. This is what my consciousness has to say.
In fact, I don't want to dissect them. Maybe just bring them up all in one setting.
How would you interpret them together?
If anything, I would be the wrong one. But there's nothing wrong with bringing them together, right?
First, Crawling by Linkin Park. Good ol' favorite.
"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
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..."
Second, Crawling in the Dark by Hoobastank. The most probable one.
"I will dedicate
And sacrifice my everything for just a second's worth
Of how my story's ending
And I wish I could know if the directions that I take
And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Help me carry on
Assure me it's ok to use my heart and not my eyes
To navigate the darkness
Will the ending be ever coming suddenly?
Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?
So when and how will I know?
How much further do I have to go?
How much longer until I finally know?
Because I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me
In front of me..."
Third, Crawling Towards the Sun by the Hush Sound. I have high doubts about this one. But let me end your reading on a happy note. Lawl.
"Carousels make laps each night
Like drunks we spin until we're sick
Creepy clowns from one horse towns
Can make their livings on a trick
Night covers all our tracks
Night covers all our tracks
To break some fragile backs
So we tell some lies
Then we hide from light
One night I fell asleep and woke up on that sunny street
One night I fell asleep and woke up on that sunny street
At first I thought I couldn`t but now I see
That the shadows kept me hidden
That the shadows kept me hidden
From the light that calls my name
All the creatures stood above me
Now I`m crawling towards the sun
Candy lips that taste too sweet
Candy lips that taste too sweet
Were sour in the summer heat
As the night fell I heard church bells
Say its time to leave
Out on the town we went
Out on the town we went
To carry out missions
Neither you or I would ever know sunlight
In the night light we still shine bright..."
In the night light we still shine bright..."
Well. Yeah. Pretty much.
I think I will go sleep now.
Just some food for thought. :)
BTW, I'm thinking about changing my blog name. Eh.
