Linkin Park – New Divide Lyrics 16 years ago
As with most songs, I feel music is supposed to be left open to interpretation... to mean what it needs to mean to the individual listening to it. Having said that, here is what it means to me...

Its a very personal song to me... a rift or divide between two people. One person is looking back at the bad memories... the chaos of their past and decides to separate themselves from the other person. The other person becomes angry at this... even though the situations may have been bad... "give me reason, prove me wrong, wash this memory clean..." Its like, 'if you don't think this divide is a good idea... tell me why' the only response they can muster in their resentment is... "You'll get what you deserve."

"Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies, Across this new divide" He just wants to move forward either fixing the problems or starting fresh.

How does this apply to the movie? I have no idea...and maybe I'm completely wrong but... I intend on seeing the movie soon and finding out.

I hope someone gets something from my interpretation...
