| Linkin Park – Waiting For The End Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Warning: Senseless rant. To me, this song is him reflecting on his life - looking back to everything that he's gone through (the good + bad + mundane) and the result of that is, he's tired of it all. He's "waiting for the end" but not in the sense that he's killing himself. I don't think its about suicide, its about just feeling exhausted with life and wanting to get off the rollercoaster. Many times we just live life like machines and forget what really matters. He's 'holding on to what he hasn't got,' and wants to trade this life for something new. We all know how painful it is trying to cling to something (person, idea, dream, whatever) that just isn't there any more. The lines "I know what it takes to move on, I know how it feels to lie" are so human - they're experiences we all go through yet we do it alone. We don't want other people to know, either because we're too scared to show vulnerability (in the form of emotion or attachment to something) or we're too afraid of being ridiculed. So we lie. So the song, at least to me, is about trying to see beyond the apparent. It may be relationships, government, war, conflict, love, whatever. And for some, not being able to makes us want to wait for the end. The hardest part of ending is starting again. |

I think this song is about wanting more out of life, which is pretty much evident from the lines "Gimme, gimme symphonies Gimme more than the life I see" He wants to find meaning and purpose, direction - something he's sacrifised in return for the "easy stuff" that pleases him. The world passes him by, and he's just another face in the crowd (standing pretty much unseen) until he decides to be true to himself, open his eyes to the world and what he's become. The video to this song (check it out on YouTube), too, I think says he's living so many different lives but none of them are real. "But I do get lonely, scared I'm phony Gimme, gimme symphonies Gimme more than the life I see" |

| I think he says 'mantra-size' your name, as in make a mantra out of it. What do you think? And the line 'glace the earth side' doesn't make sense to me, but I can't figure out what he's saying! | |
