Lyrics of High Voltage by Linkin Park
intro
You know what I mean? You could put a label on a life
Put a label on a lifestyle (sometimes)
You know? Put a label on how you wake up every morning
And go to bed at night (hybrid)
verse
I've been diggin' into crates ever since I was livin' in space
Before the rat race, before monkeys had human traits
I mastered numerology and Big Bang theology
Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic so I could start blessin' it
Chin checkin' kids to make my point like an Impressionist
verse
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist mic cords in double helixes and show them what I'm made of
I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast the spell of instrumental-ness and all of you emcees who hate us
So you can try on, leave you without a shoulder to cry on
From now to infinity, let icons be bygones
verse
I fire bomb, ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats but moved on to a promise
I stomp sh— with or without an accomplice
And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this
chorus
High voltage (the unforgettable sound)
High voltage (bringing you up and taking you down)
High voltage (coming at you from every side)
High voltage (making the rhythm and rhyme collide)
verse
Akira, I put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones
Never satisfy my rhyme jones
Sprayin' bright day over what you might say
My blood type's Krylon technicolor type A
verse
On highways, ride with road rage
Cages of wind and cages of tin that bounce all around
Surround sound, devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings over while the same thing
Sing song karaoke copy bullsh—
verse
Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the track stands at attention
Meant to put you away with the pencil, pistol, official
16 line a rhyme missile
While you risk your all, I pick out all your flaws
Spin rah, blah-blah-blah, you can say you saw
chorus
High voltage (the unforgettable sound)
High voltage (bringing you up and taking you down)
High voltage (coming at you from every side)
High voltage (making the rhythm and rhyme collide)
chorus
High voltage (the unforgettable sound)
High voltage (bringing you up and taking you down)
High voltage (coming at you from every side)
High voltage (making the rhythm and rhyme collide)
hook
And like the rock and rap, you know what I mean?
People actin' like, you know
"Wow, that's a new invention, that sh— brand new"
We're constantly evolving, it is constantly changing (sometimes)
There's a lot of change
Everybody's always tryna put labels
There ain't no label for this sh—
They're always gonna try to put a label on it
Try to create something so they can water it down
bridge
Sometimes I feel like a prophet
Misunderstood, under the gun, like a new disease
Sometimes I feel like a prophet
Misunderstood, under the gun, like a new disease
chorus
High voltage (the unforgettable sound)
High voltage (bringing you up and taking you down)
High voltage (coming at you from every side)
High voltage (making the rhythm and rhyme collide)
chorus
High voltage (the unforgettable sound)
High voltage (bringing you up and taking you down)
High voltage (coming at you from every side)
High voltage (making the rhythm and rhyme collide)
chorus
High voltage (the unforgettable sound)
High voltage (bringing you up and taking you down)
High voltage (coming at you from every side)
High voltage (making the rhythm and rhyme collide)
chorus
High voltage (the unforgettable sound)
High voltage (bringing you up and taking you down)
High voltage (coming at you from every side)
High voltage (making the rhythm and rhyme collide)
outro
You know what I mean? You can put a label on a lifestyle
Writer(s): Mike Shinoda, Chester Charles Bennington, Joseph Hahn, Brad Delson, Robert G. Bourdon
