Crawling Out is a powerful song that delves into the depths of depression and the struggle to overcome it. The lyrics express the feeling of being trapped in a dark, empty hole while clinging to the faint hope of salvation. It explores the internal battle and the realization that action is necessary to escape the consuming emptiness before it's too late.
Verse 1:
In the shadows where I dwell,
Echoes whisper, I can’t tell,
If I’m fading, drifting far away,
Lost in darkness, night and day.
Chorus:
I see the light that shines so bright,
But every move feels like a fight,
Crawling out, I reach for air,
But all I find is this despair.
Verse 2:
Thoughts like chains, they pull me down,
I’m the king without a crown,
Every moment feels like a fall,
I drown in silence, hear the call.
Chorus:
I see the light that shines so bright,
But every move feels like a fight,
Crawling out, I reach for air,
But all I find is this despair.
Bridge:
Empty rooms and vacant stares,
Lost in time, nobody cares,
But in the distance, hope ignites,
Can I find a way to fight?
Verse 3:
Fingers brush the edge of fate,
Awakening before it’s late,
The path is steep, the climb is long,
But I can feel I must be strong.
Chorus:
I see the light that shines so bright,
But every move feels like a fight,
Crawling out, I reach for air,
But all I find is this despair.
Outro:
Now I'm rising, breaking free,
This emptiness won’t swallow me,
I’ll keep pushing, breaking stone,
For in this battle, I’ll find home.

It's about being stuck in a dark hole of depression and slowly realizing that you need to crawl out before you fall in forever. You can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but you just can't quite reach it. The emptiness is all-consuming and nothing seems to make the feeling break.
