KRWLNG
Linkin Park · Reanimation [2002]
Without a sense of confidence..
Consuming, confusing..
Crawling in my skin
Without a sense of confidence
And I'm convinced that there's
Just too much pressure to take
There's something inside me
That pulls beneath the surface
Crawling in my skin
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
These wounds won't heal
Fear is how I fall
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
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, I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
And I'm convinced that there's
Just too much pressure to take
I've felt this way before
So insecure
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Discomfort endlessly
Has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will
I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
And I'm convinced that there's
Just too much pressure to take
I've felt this way before
So insecure
Without a sense of confidence..
Without a sense of confidence..
I'm convinced that there's
Just too much pressure to take
Without a sense of confidence..
Without a sense of confidence..
I'm convinced that there's
Just too much pressure to take
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
And I'm convinced that there's
Just too much pressure to take
I've felt this way before
So insecure
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
KRWLNG
Released in 2002 on the album Reanimation, 'KRWLNG' stands as a defining track in Linkin Park's early discography. The song exemplifies the band's signature fusion of alternative metal and electronic elements, featuring the distinctive vocal style of Chester Bennington layered over a driving, industrial-tinged rhythm section. As a key component of their debut album, the recording captures the raw energy and emotional intensity that would characterize their work throughout the 2000s. It remains a staple of their live performances and a touchstone for fans of the nu-metal and alternative rock genres, reflecting the group's evolution from their earlier hardcore roots toward a more polished, genre-blending sound.
