Linkin Park - Valentine's Day Lyrics & Meanings
Valentine's Day Lyrics & Meanings: My insides all turned to ash, so slow / And blew away as I collapsed, so cold / A black wind took them away from sight / And held the darkness over day that night / / And the clouds above move closer / Looking so dissatisfied / But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing / / I used to be my own protection, but not now / Cause my path has lost direction somehow / A black wind took you away from sight / And held the darkness over day that night / / And the clouds above move closer / Looking so dissatisfied / And the ground below grew colder / As they put you down inside / But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing / / So now you're gone / And I was wrong / I never knew what it was like / To be alone / / On a Valentine's Day
Linkin Park - Breaking The Habit Lyrics & Meanings
Breaking The Habit Lyrics & Meanings: Memories consume like opening the wounds / I'm picking me apart again / You all assume / I'm safe here in my room / Unless I try to start again / I don't want to be the one the battles always choose / 'cause inside I realize that I'm the one confused / / I don't know what's worth fighting for / Or why I have to scream / I don't know why I instigate / And say what I don't mean / I don't know how I got this way / I know it's not alright / So I'm breaking the habit / I'm breaking the habit tonight / / Clutching my cure / I tightly lock the door / I try to catch my breath again / I hurt much more than any time before / I have no options left again / I don't want to be the one the battles always choose / 'cause inside I realize that I'm the one confused / / I don't know what's worth fighting for / Or why I have to scream / I don't know why I instigate / And say what I don't mean / I don't know how I got this way / I'll never be alright / So I'm breaking the habit / I'm brea
Linkin Park - Numb Lyrics & Meanings
Numb Lyrics & Meanings: I'm tired of being what you want me to be / Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface / Don't know what you're expecting of me / Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes / (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow) / Every step that I take is another mistake to you / (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow) / / I've become so numb, I can't feel you there / I've become so tired, so much more aware / I'm becoming this, all I want to do / Is be more like me and be less like you / / Can't you see that you're smothering me? / Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control / 'Cause everything that you thought I would be / Has fallen apart right in front of you / (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow) / Every step that I take is another mistake to you / (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow) / And every second I waste is more than I can take / / I've become so numb, I can't feel you there / I've become so tired, so much more awar
Linkin Park - With You Lyrics & Meanings
With You Lyrics & Meanings: I woke up in a dream today / To the cold of the static and put my cold feet on the floor / Forgot all about yesterday / Remembering I’m pretending to be where I’m not anymore / A little taste of hypocrisy / And I’m left in the wake of the mistake slow to react / Even though you’re so close to me / You’re still so distant and I can’t bring you back / / It’s true, the way I feel / Was promised by your face / The sound of your voice / Painted on my memories / Even if you’re not with me / I’m with you / / You, now I see keeping everything inside / You, now I see even when I close my eyes / / I hit you and you hit me back / We fall to the floor the rest of the day stands still / Fine line between this and that / When things go wrong I pretend the past isn’t real / Now I'm trapped in this memory / And I’m left in the wake of the mistake slow to react / Even though you’re close to me / You’re still so distant and I can’t bring you bac
