Hoobastank – Crawling In The Dark Lyrics 8 years ago
I think the song is about him battling through depression and suicidal thoughts.

"Will the ending be
Ever coming suddenly?"
- This line is him suggesting he is going to commit suicide. Will he actually do it? Will his life suddenly come to an end because he ended it by his own choice?

"Will I ever get to see
The ending to my story?"
- This is suggesting that he is still questioning doing it. Will he kill himself, or keep going to see how his life plays out.

"Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer"
- What is this life all for? I want to know what the point of it all is. I feel like i'm in a really dark place right now and I need to find some reason to go on.

"Help me carry on
Assure me it's ok to
Use my heart and not my eyes
To navigate the darkness"
- He is looking for someone to tell him that what he is doing is OK. Go after your heart, follow your dreams and that is how you get out of that dark place.

So when and how will I know?
"How much further do I have to go? (have to go)
And how much longer until I finally know? (finally know)
Cause I am looking and I just can't see what's in front of me
In front of me"
- This is him questioning how he will know what he is doing is right (following his heart) and that maybe what he is looking for he already has but just doesn't realize it. Once you decide to follow your dreams and begin on that path, you need to enjoy every part of the experience and not just the end goal. Enjoy the ride!
