Crawl
The Struggle Within: Black Country Communion's 'Crawl' Meaning Unveiled
Lyrics
Out there you're gotta walk so proud
Expressing the need to present oneself confidently in the external world.
You say you wanna leave this crowd
Desire to break away from the current social environment or situation.
Today, a shot away, you slip
Today is a critical moment, and a potential misstep may occur.
Seems like you're gonna lose your grip
Suggesting a feeling of losing control or slipping away from stability.
Invisible, invisible
Emphasizing a sense of being unnoticed or overlooked.
You live and you will die, so stoned
Life involves both living and dying while under the influence of substances.
And still you wonder why, alone
Questioning why one remains isolated despite the influence of substances.
So fake, no mercy
Referring to a lack of authenticity and compassion in a person or situation.
You fall
Experiencing a downfall or failure.
You break, no pity
Facing a break or setback without receiving sympathy.
You crawl

So fake, no mercy

You fall

A wreck, a tragedy, a sign

So sad the memory, redline

Too late to build a bridge on trust
Highlighting the difficulty of rebuilding trust when it's too late.
I see the gold has turned to dust
Observing a valuable element turning into something worthless.
