Song Meaning of “Holes” by Crim3s
“Holes” by Crim3s is a reflection on personal insecurity and a journey for inner peace. The dark biting lyrics tell of a person trying to get away from their struggles and find a place of solace. The speaker of the song recognizes the ‘holes’ in their life, both figuratively and literally, and expresses a desire to fill them in.
The speaker of the song is aware of their feelings of insecurity and disappointment, but also recognizes that these feelings must be confronted and dealt with. The speaker acknowledges the difficulty of this journey for peace and they also come to terms with the fact that, sometimes, the only way to fill those ‘holes’ is to make your own way. The allusions to ‘plaster’ as a metaphor for finding strength in oneself speaks to the idea of self-empowerment and, further, independent perseverance.
The song reflects on one’s internal insecurities and feelings of helplessness, while ultimately coming to a place of hope. It’s a reminder to us all that, although there are ‘holes’ in one’s life that must be filled, we are all capable of finding the strength and courage to face our struggles and reshape our path in pursuit of peace and understanding.
