Been hooked to Linkin Park's "Meteora" and "Hybrid Theory" albums.... I have them with me for a long time already but it's just now that i'm really allowing myself to analyze the lyrics and the music... and it amazes me to find myself being affected by the lyrics.... touching my life in a way, and making me realize things that I normally take for granted.... The heavy songs and lyrics seems like inspirational verses to keep me going... most of the songs do touch the sensitive side of me (maybe the reason why i'm making this blog after all)... some lyrics seem fit for a love song... but LP's hard, rap metal, and distinct style makes the difference...

So for now, I have to dwell to these songs and lyrics... and perhaps, in the future, the same songs and lyrics will make me a better man....!

peace!

The following bits and pieces are from Linkin Park's Meteora album:

* Nobody's Listening

I got a heart full of pain
A head full of stress
Handful of anger
Held in my chest...


* Don't Stay

Sometimes I need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I need you to stay away from me
Sometimes I'm in disbelief I don't know
Somehow I need you to go....


* Somewhere I Belong

When this began
I had nothing to say
And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
I was confused...


* Easier To Run

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone....


* Faint

So I let go
Watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face Away and pretend that i'm not
But I'll be here
'Cause you're all i got...

-- So what about these lyrics? I find it amusing... these songs are hard, rap metal... but these lyrics can move one's emotions... words are too powerful i guess... am i being sentimental or what? i don't know...
