Dead By Sunrise - Crawl Back In

Song: Crawl Back In
Artist: Dead By Sunrise
Album: Out Of Ashes

Dead By Sunrise is an American rock band.

I guess I should start by telling you that Dead By Sunrise is the side project of Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington. I first heard the song Crawl Back In on the radio, I liked the song and I thought the singers voice sounded familiar, but I'd never heard of Dead By Sunrise. About a month later I watched a podcast interview with Chester Bennington and he was talking about Dead By Sunrise. Apparently he had written a bunch of songs he didn't think were right for Linkin Park, so he and some friends decided to record them and eventually became Dead By Sunrise. After I remembered the song and realized Chester was singing it, I downloaded it. I think the song is about wanting to get away from the bad stuff in your life, wanting to hide away from it all. About not wanting to be the person others see you as, or try to make you into. Maybe also about not wanting to be like the people around you to fit in, because it might be easier but it's not real.

"Crawl Back In"

Sometimes I look at my own face
And I don't know who I am
I see a piece of everyone I know
Buried underneath my skin

I don't want to be like them
I want to crawl back in

It's hard to think of anything that I haven't heard before
I hear these voices in my head
They could be mine but I'm not sure
I hear them telling me who they think I should be
Why won't they leave me alone
I can't deny it I try to fight it
But I'm losing control

I don't want to be like them
I want to crawl back in

Don't want to lose my innocence
Don't want the world second guessing at my heart
Won't let your lies take a piece of my soul
Don't want to take your medicine
I want to crawl back in

Sometimes I lie
Sometimes I crawl
Sometimes I feel like I want to die

I don't want to be like them
I want to crawl back in

Don't want to lose my innocence
Don't want the world second guessing at my heart
Won't let your lies take a piece of my soul
Don't want to take your medicine
I want to crawl back in

I want to crawl back in
