Tunnel crabs

This week I messed around some more with tempo and ended up sampling a bass at different bpms to get a lot of varying sounds. They are scattered everywhere on this track. Got steered towards something dark and anxiety inducing. Tried some different song structures and due to time running out ended up with this.
I'm far from a lyricist. I usually have a hard time just naming my tracks. For some reason this was named "Tunnel crabs" very early on and I think it subconsciously influenced the sound a bit. Oh, and apparently they are a thing:
Tunneling crabs, such as Atlantic ghost crabs and mud crabs, create intricate underground burrow systems for protection against predators, extreme temperatures, and for molting. These crustaceans dig deep, branching tunnels in sandy beaches or mudflats, often surfacing at night, and rely on moist substrate to keep their gills hydrated.
