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)]
