| Linkin Park – Breaking The Habit Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
The first time I heard this song, I cried. I saw my last relationship flash constantly, then I saw images of cutting myself. This song is quite personal. I think chipmunk777 has a good idea about it being about suicide bc it's easy to contemplate it when you "have no options left again" and you have no clue how to stop the negative feelings of pain overtake you. I personally think, however, that it's about being hurt so many times and allowing yourself to continue being hurt to the point that you lock yourself away and cause physical damage to yourself (cutting/shooting up or even botched suicide atrempts) and that everybody around you knows but you're too ashamed to say anything bc you're afraid that they'll call you a psycho or that they'll lock you away in a nuthouse. Like I said before, it really sounded like being hurt in a bad relationship and feeling like SI/drugs was the only way to release the pain. The "I'll paint it on the walls" could be about shooting yourself and leaving a bloodstain on the walls or it could be sort of a "written on the wall" thing where people know but they won't stop you from doing whatever you're doing. The person is so unwilling to want to fight whatever it is they are fighting (internal demons, an actual person, the addiction to whatever drug they're doing or even something else you can think of) and the SI/drugs isn't helping, so the song becomes a release of emotions and, as for the feelings of pain, the song is "how it ends", their big plan to stop the SI/drug habit. After writing down all their emotions, they "found some clarity" as to what they want people to know and finally have the courage to confront everybody who knows (either through telling the people straightforward or through singing the song) abuot their addiction/SI/suicide attempts. That's what I think. |

ugh...more mindless banter and arguments...another post page letdown. Tell your thoughts on the meaning, not over what album's the best and who's hot. Dumb fucks. Okay, this song's about the person (I always write about songs as if one person's expressing feelings btw) getting sick and tired of the person they're singing to not taking them seriously. The person singing is tired of this other person totally blocking out their ideas and they're sick of feeling like they're talking to a brick wall. The other lyrics not pertaining to this can be interpreted as such: "I have a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact That everybody can see these scars I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel" They've been treated like they're nobody and they've prolly been cutting themselves so much that their scars won't go away, or they could be emotional scars that are shown in their actions, such as isolationism or just a gloomy disposition. They wish that the target of the song could feel their emotions. "I am a little bit insecure, a little unconfident 'Cause you don't understand, I do what I can But sometimes I don't make sense I am what you never want to say, but I've never had a doubt It's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you For once just to hear me out" The person has prolly been hurt and pushed away so much that they're shy and prolly lack the social skills/courage to force this person to listen. They know that they can't tell this person face to face about how they feel, but this song seems to be the only way they know how to get their point across. The target seems to be ashamed of this person, and doesn't want to be seen talking to the person, and the person is sick of being treated in this manner, therefore this song is a last-ditch effort to get their point across. Okay, enough of the analyzation...I think that this song could be about a relationship in which one feels left out in decisions and is sick of not being heard, or even a child/guardian thing where the guardian won't let the child do what they like and forces them to do what they think is best for the child. If you wanna stretch this, it could also be an employee/boss thing where the boss refuses to listen to complaints from the employee and the employee snaps and this song's a last-ditch effort before they quit. |

stickandstones, if you hate this song so much, why'd you post? You're a total fucking loser, go back to posting on your favorite nsuck songs. Okay, got that over with... The song to me is a warning. If it plays enough times in a day, I've got trouble coming...and it usually involves a stalker (makes sense) or me losing my cool (letting my paranoid/aggressive side take over). The song itself is definitely about having a little voice in your head (it could be a mockery of your own or somebody else's who constantly taunts you, you decide) that constantly puts you down and belittles you, and you feel like everything's swirling around in your mind and you feel like everybody's critisizing you and putting you down to the point where you just wanna be alone to collect the shattered pieces of yourself. The other point is that the pov is telling everybody that they shouldn't be so critical bc we're all like that in some degree. It could be just thinking over somebody's negative comment and feeling a bit hurt by it and having it play in your head for a while, or it could be full blown paranoia/schitzophrenia, to the point that if anybody is the least bit critical of your actions, you snap into another one of your personas and strike back. and I think that "The sun goes down I feel the light betray me" can be interpreted as losing your joy and happiness (the sun) and feeling like it has abandoned you and it won't return bc of all the negativity that surrounds you. Tell me what you think. |

| Linkin Park – Numb Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| I agree with all of you. I, being the second oldest (and smartest) must always have the best grades of my family. I heard this song right when my grades were starting to drop and it honestly made me feel so fucking good...it was like Chaz and Mike were saying the things I don't have the guts to. But yeah, this song's about being sick and tired of being pushed around and being forced to do what you hate...being forced to accomplish what your tormentor can not. It could be about school, sports or even a job, but I personally see it as school. | |

Okay, to everybody who's arguing about lyrics and who wrote them (since it's the topic that seems to be MUCH more important than the lyrics themselves...::rolls eyes in disgust::), read the back of the in-case booklets sometime. It says that they write all the songs. Anyways, now back on topic. The pov is obviously of a loner/outcast (which I can easily point out since I personally know the feeling) who has spent so much time being alone, feeling depressed and lonely and thinking dark things (they prolly were cutting themselves, which explains the "I wanna heal" part, bc if you cut yourself enough, the wounds don't tend to heal very well, esp. if you cut the same place over and over) and pushing the world away and soon enough, they've learned to not trust anymore. The person finally decides to go out into the world one day and once they find somebody like them, they wish that they could be less isolated and they crave more love and affection and they want to be accepted since they realize how shitty they appear to other people (I wanna feel what I never thought was real, I wanna let go of the pain I felt so long/I wanna find something I wanted all along, somewhere I belong) And there's a typo: It goes "Cuz I can't justify the way everyone's looking at me". And back to the interpretation: The person finally wants to try to gain these feelings of happiness and love and what not, people start to see them as weirdos and they want nothing to do with them, and the person thinks that it's all their fault but it's really everybody else's bc the people this person's trying to befried obviously don't like people who try to change (I can't justify the way everyone's looking at me/Just stuck, hollow and alone, and the fault is my own). Yup, that's pretty much how I see it. Go ahead and critisize me. See if I care. |

| Linkin Park – My December Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| wow a lot of crap from the review crew here. Nevermind that...this song means a lot. It's about being alone...caught up in a "December"-like mood...the kind you get when you've been stuck in your house alone for so long with nobody and regretting that you didn't let somebody stay with you. The speaker (actually, the singer(s) in this case) regrets letting this other person (sig. other, loved one, etc.) person go because of a stupid thing/stupid things they said and they wish they could fix this and now that the person's gone, they're stuck in this depressed mood. I know the feel of this song all too well... | |
| Linkin Park – Riff Raff Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| I agree with Aftermath. I think it's an interesting idea...to show that they're not too proud to show that they still are people. It's cool. Not a lot of people do it bc not a lot of people are still true to themselves. | |
| Linkin Park – Rhinestone (Demo) Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| Does anybody know what song this becomes? If you don't, it's Forgotten. ^_^ Just compare lyrics. If you d/l the song and listen, it sounds JUST like it...even the backround music's the same. The only difference is the guy who's singing in Chaz's place and the alternate lyrics. | |
