Song information

The song portrays lead singer Chester Bennington’s battle with depersonalization disorder, an anxiety based disorder in which the «fight or flight» response in the brain is turned on for an extended period of time (days, months, years), making the sufferer feel unreal and disconnected from others, almost like living in a dream. We find support for this within the song, as people with depersonalization disorder often fear the condition as never ending, referenced in the line «This lack of self control I fear is never ending», and have trouble viewing themselves in the mirror, much like the lyrics in the song describe. In addition, the line "fear is how I fall, " further points toward depersonalization disorder, as people who suffer the condition are still sane, and fear the condition itself, in turn prolonging it and making it habitual. Bennington suffered many years of child abuse in his teen years, as figuratively described in the song.

Since 2008’s Projekt Revolution, Mike Shinoda has rapped the first verse of «Hands Held High» over the Reanimation intro of «Crawling». In 2009, Shinoda rapped 2 verses of «Hands Held High» over the intro of «Crawling», which first verse started with an a capella or a bass line before the Reanimation intro started, in which Shinoda raps the second verse.
