Linkin Park - A Place For My Head

Song: A Place For My Head
Artist: Linkin Park
Album: Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park is an American rock band from California.

The song A Place For My Head is from Linkin Park's 2000 debut album, Hybrid Theory. I think the song is about someone who does things for people out of greed. Just to get things in return. Someone who does something for someone and then acts like they owe him/her a lot. The song is from the point of view of someone who is saying they don't have the time or energy to deal with that person's shit and they're better off without them. This song, like most Linkin Park songs, is a mixture of Chester Bennington's singing and Mike Shinoda's rapping. I've said it before and I'll say it again, their voices work really well together. I love this song.

"A Place For My Head"

I watch how the moon sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn't give light to the moon assuming
The moon’s going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do favors and then rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me
about things that you want back from me

[Chorus (x2):]
I’m sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place, to feed your greed -
While I find a place to rest

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don’t understand
(You’ll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Maybe someday I’ll be just like you
and step on people like you do and
Run away the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm, used to be strong
Used to be generous but you should’ve known
That you’d wear out your welcome
now you see how quiet it is, all alone

[Chorus (x2)]

[8x]
Go away
You try to take the best of me

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

Shut up....what!

[Chorus (x2)]

Dead By Sunrise - Walking In Circles

Song: Walking In Circles
Artist: Dead By Sunrise
Album: Out Of Ashes

Dead By Sunrise is an American rock band, from California.

Dead By Sunrise is the side project of Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington. I think the song Walking In Circles is about how a lot of people walk through life without really paying attention or thinking about things that are happening. Because some people find it easier to shut off their minds than to think about the stuff that scares them. How some people will just do what they're told, because they're scared to go against the majority or against authority, and how some people never ask questions, because they're afraid of the answers. I think it's also about people who are blind to their own mistakes. This song is sung from the point of view of a person who is disturbed by the number of people who don't seem to care. I think Chester Bennington is a great lyricist and vocalist. I really like this song.

"Walking In Circles"

Quiet
Everyone's sleeping through life
Afraid that their questions
Just might have answers
Quiet
Everyone shut off their mind
So I'll turn on mine

Alone in a world
With millions of souls
Walking in Circles
Trapped in their dreams
Unhealthy, unclean
Walking in Circles, now
Do not disturb
Scream in silence
Everyone's sleeping

Quiet
We're living inside of our mouths
Afraid someone just might
Hear what we're thinking
Quiet
Careful of what you might say
'cause they'll put you away

Alone in a world
With millions of souls
Walking in circles
Trapped in their dreams
Unhealthy, unclean
Walking in Circles, now
Do not disturb
Scream in silence
Everyone's sleeping

[Solo:]

Alone in a world
With millions of souls
Walking in circles
Trapped in their dreams
Unhealthy, unclean
Walking in Circles, now
Do not disturb
Scream in silence
Everyone's sleeping

Alone in a world (Walking in circles, now)
With millions of souls (Walking in circles, now)
Walking in circles
Alone in a world (Walking in circles)
With millions of souls (Walking in circles)
Walking in circles, now
Do not disturb
Scream in silence
Everyone's sleeping

Linkin Park - Nobody's Listening

Song: Nobody's Listening

Artist: Linkin Park

Album: Meteora

Linkin Park is an American rock band from California.

I think the song Nobody's Listening is about trying to tell someone something and they aren't getting it. I think it's also about doing something your own way but people don't understand what you're doing or why you're doing it. About people expecting or wanting a person or band to stay the same when they need to grow and change. About automatically disliking something because it's different without really giving it a chance. The combination of Chester Bennington's singing and Mike Shinoda's rapping is really great, their voices work really well together. Nobody's Listening has a Japanese flute called a shakuhachi in the song, I love the sound this creates. Altogether I think this is a great song.

"Nobody’s Listening"

Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it
We drop right back in the cut over basement tracks
With raps that got you backing this up like
Rewind that we're just rolling with the rhythm
Rise from the ashes of stylistic division
With these non-stop lyrics of life living
Not to be forgotten but still unforgiven
But in the meantime there are those who wanna talk this and that
So I suppose that it gets to a point where feelings gotta get hurt
And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt

it goes

[Chorus]
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
And everything left’s a waste of time
I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else’s more
I’m riding on the back of this pressure
Guessing that it’s better I can’t keep myself together
Because all of this stress gave me something to write on
The pain gave me something I could set my sights on
Never forget the blood sweat and tears
The uphill struggle over years the fear and
Trash talking and the people it was to
And the people that started it just like you

[Chorus]
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear

Heart full of pain, head full of stress
handfull of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear

Heart full of pain

[Chorus]
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
(Nobody’s listening)
handfull of anger, held in my chest
(Nobody’s listening)
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
(Nobody’s listening)
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
(Nobody’s listening)

Coming at you from every side

Dead By Sunrise - Crawl Back In

Song: Crawl Back In
Artist: Dead By Sunrise
Album: Out Of Ashes

Dead By Sunrise is an American rock band.

I guess I should start by telling you that Dead By Sunrise is the side project of Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington. I first heard the song Crawl Back In on the radio, I liked the song and I thought the singers voice sounded familiar, but I'd never heard of Dead By Sunrise. About a month later I watched a podcast interview with Chester Bennington and he was talking about Dead By Sunrise. Apparently he had written a bunch of songs he didn't think were right for Linkin Park, so he and some friends decided to record them and eventually became Dead By Sunrise. After I remembered the song and realized Chester was singing it, I downloaded it. I think the song is about wanting to get away from the bad stuff in your life, wanting to hide away from it all. About not wanting to be the person others see you as, or try to make you into. Maybe also about not wanting to be like the people around you to fit in, because it might be easier but it's not real.

"Crawl Back In"

Sometimes I look at my own face
And I don't know who I am
I see a piece of everyone I know
Buried underneath my skin

I don't want to be like them
I want to crawl back in

It's hard to think of anything that I haven't heard before
I hear these voices in my head
They could be mine but I'm not sure
I hear them telling me who they think I should be
Why won't they leave me alone
I can't deny it I try to fight it
But I'm losing control

I don't want to be like them
I want to crawl back in

Don't want to lose my innocence
Don't want the world second guessing at my heart
Won't let your lies take a piece of my soul
Don't want to take your medicine
I want to crawl back in

Sometimes I lie
Sometimes I crawl
Sometimes I feel like I want to die

I don't want to be like them
I want to crawl back in

Don't want to lose my innocence
Don't want the world second guessing at my heart
Won't let your lies take a piece of my soul
Don't want to take your medicine
I want to crawl back in

I want to crawl back in
