| Linkin Park – Keys to the Kingdom Lyrics | 6 years ago |

Honestly I think this song is addressing all the people who say they “miss the old Linkin Park” Mike’s part here is the biggest clue as to what this songs about. “”Uh, I give you what you came for This is not the same though Got a different method But I still can bring the pain so Not all give the same though I got daddy's same flow I am sock in catch you never really in my range though Yes I'm half anglo, half huapango On primetime, I'ma let that bass bang though All you fucking lames go Aiming at my name though Careful what you shoot, cause you might hit what you came for”” It sounds a lot like he’s calling out everyone who wants Linkin Park to go back to the HT days. He’s telling them that they’re still here and they’re still making great music, just with a different formula/method. The “lames” are constantly attacking the bands name and Mike’s telling them off. The “we start the final war” part could be them acknowledging how they know that no matter what they put out, not everyone’s going to love it. There’s always going to be a “war” with the haters. Now Chester’s part is more difficult for me to interpret personally, but what I got from it was that the “”I’m my own casualty I fuck up everything I see Fighting in futility”” was also shade towards the people wanting HT back. We all know HT and Meteora were more personal and angsty albums. And those lines are pretty angsty. I feel like it’s LP saying “here, is this really what you guys wanted? Fuck you” Another idea I had was maybe the “I’m my own casualty” is in regards to how LP could have got even more huge if they kept making albums in the same Nu Metal style, but they changed and ultimately got less radio play and more hate. Although maybe those lyrics could really be just how the writer feels about them self, nothing more. |
