Crawling
Embrace Strength in Chaos: Confronting Weakness in the Face of Adversity
Lyrics
You're running away from your enemies
You're avoiding or escaping from those who oppose or threaten you.
You submit to every attack
You yield or surrender to every attack or challenge.
Everybody gets their chance to wrap their hands around your neck
Others have opportunities to harm you, symbolized by wrapping hands around your neck.
This is how life imitates death
Life mirrors the process of death, possibly indicating a bleak or destructive existence.
Nothing changes - nothing moves
Nothing in your life is changing or progressing.
Spend your final hours hearing roaches crawl across your casket lid
Imagery of spending one's final moments hearing unsettling sounds, suggesting a dark and unpleasant end.
Hear the soil falling over your head
Visualizing the burial process, with soil falling over your head, signifying a sense of entrapment or doom.
It buries you - weakness
Weakness becomes a burden that eventually overpowers and 'buries' you.
Crawling on floors and trying to hide yourself in dirt and in cracks
Crawling on the floor, attempting to hide in dirt and cracks, possibly representing a desperate attempt at concealment.
Disaster follows you so cross your filthy fingers behind your back
Constant misfortune follows you, prompting superstitious actions like crossing fingers for luck.
Circumstance makes you the victim
External factors make you feel like a victim of circumstances.
That's what you want to believe
You prefer to believe that external circumstances are responsible for your situation.
But you become the vermin that you hate when you let weakness keep you safe
Allowing weakness to dictate your actions turns you into the very thing you despise.
Let's just say that I went back inside to pull you out
A hypothetical scenario where someone goes back inside to help you, but you prefer to crawl on your own.
Then you said that you'd much rather crawl
You express a preference for a submissive, crawling existence despite assistance being offered.
Let's just say that I left you there to rot away
The speaker leaves you to deteriorate, possibly highlighting a choice to abandon self-destructive behavior.
You're so determined - chest dragging...
Your determination is evident, but it is accompanied by a deteriorating physical state (chest dragging).
CRAWL - you're crawling
An explicit command to crawl, emphasizing a state of submission or weakness.
While I live, I may fail - but I will never be weak
Expressing a commitment to face failures in life without succumbing to weakness.
