Crawling - Linkin Park (LP)

I recently crossed paths with a song that really caught my attention. The reason why it caught my attention is not because of the beat (even though the beat is pretty good too but a little too loud) but because of the lyrics.
It starts with the chorus
"Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real"
Then they say a few other lyrics but the ones that are in my mind at this moment are
"... I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in...
Without a sense of confidence
I'm convinced it's just too much pressure to take
I felt this way before
So insecure"
If you want to check out the music video I will leave a link here in this post

@Cristi_Ichim when mylot stopped paying then changed into this present platform, many members floundered on how to navigate the site. @owlwings was kind enough to write one and post updates about the site.

@hereandthere I don't understand what does this have anything to do with what I said though

Excuse me but what does this have to do with my article? Is this post of mine a violation of any rule? I don't understand.

Hey there @Cristi_Ichim, nice to see you at myLot. I like those lyrics though I am not familiar with the song. If a song's lyrics really speak to you, it makes a big difference in how much you enjoy listening. I always read the lyrics first.

This is a good tune, I will agree.. and the lyrics are great. However this is supposed to be a discussion.. so you should be discussing or asking questions that lead people to discuss. or you will not get much for responses back. And probably get it deleted.

Well, you have responded to my post, have you not? Maybe there will be some other people that will respond to it as well. I don't know exactly how things work here. I am pretty new to this site and getting used to it.
Anyways, how did you find my post? How do I find the latest discussions that were post? For example, if someone is just posting something right when I am typing this message to you, how can I find that post?

@Cristi_Ichim I feel that @minx267 is being a little harsh here in suggesting that this isn't "a discussion". A discussion topic doesn't HAVE to contain questions specifically (but, if it does, they shouldn't be ones which only require a 'Yes' or 'No' answer or similar because then they'd come under the category of "Poll Type" questions!). The object here (much more so than in Bubblews) is to get people to respond with their views on a subject - one reason why there is NO limit to how much you can type in a response. It depends very much on the way you word the topic or on whether you want to discuss one particular aspect of it. Some discussions don't need questions to attract responses; others may benefit if you end with a question (or two).
Anyway, it seemed clear to me that you were describing a feeling that you have and the way that the lyrics of the song expressed it. There should, indeed, be plenty to discuss there, whether it's the feeling or emotion, Linkin' Park's lyrics in general or just ... stuff!

I was in high school when this came out... seems like a lifetime ago! 
Linkin Park's songs have evolved a lot since Crawling. They upset a lot of people when they released A Thousand Suns, because it was a lot different than their previous stuff.
