"Crawling" is a song by the band Linkin Park. It is the fifth track from their debut album Hybrid Theory (2000). It was released in 2001 as their second single and won a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2002. The song reached #74 on the Hot 100 on July 31, 2001.
A demo version of the song recorded during the production of Hybrid Theory features an interlude of Mike rapping before the last chorus. "Crawling" is one of the few songs on the album to contain little rapping: Mike Shinoda only has one line that gets repeated in the pre-chorus.
The lyrics might also signify an effect of crystal meth in which the user has the sensation of insects "crawling in their skin". This would make sense as Chester was once an addict. The lyrics also describe somebody who goes through panic attacks, in which the victim, during the panic attacks, cannot control what's going on, and in a way loses his/her.
