what is the he saying when he is screaming something in the background? or is he just screaming?

You hear screaming in the song? At what part?

I love this introduction, perfect for the album minutes to midnight is the first album I heard from Linkin Park an I loved it first time XD I agree that it could be about a nightmare and the person waking up from it but I also think it could be about a sudden realisation of some sort coz if you listen to the rest of the album most of the songs are about problems and issues and what they feel about them like with the songs given up,leave out all the rest, shadow of the day, what I've done, hands...
