No matter how old I get, Linkin Park songs are always fresh to me

[antojorge]

This song is for a lot of scenarios: Love, friendship, family, work...

This song is a diamond nowadays

[mikeshark]

Loved a lot of the songs where Chester was singing, not just screaming. He had an amazing and honestly soulful voice. Gone too soon... rest in peace.

Tonight I dreamt that in my bedroom there was Chester sitting on a chair and playing this song. I told him that this is my favorite song of them and I hugged him. Then I cried my eyes out. RIP Chester.

LYRICS
I've lied to you
The same way that I always do
This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you

Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown eventually break down
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Everything has to end
You'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away

I've tried like you
To do everything you wanted too
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you

Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown eventually break down
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Everything has to end
You'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away

We're all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
We're all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away

Pushes me away

Meteora + hybrid theory = P E R F E C T I O N

Hybrid Theory has no weaknesses, it's a perfect 10, and one of the most important popular rock albums of our time.

"The sacrifice of hiding in a lie"
"The sacrifice is never knowing"
Hit so damn fucking hard

[Darkkyful]

Thank you for all the memories, Chester. RIP :'(

I really think LP was originally to save people from the depression

[Wafflez-Man-YT]

It's 2025 and this song hits deep for me.From 1:17 - 1:53 chester gives me chills man, that voice is truly something special in this world . Rip Legend.

This song was my escape in basic training. We were allowed to go to the commissary one day and I bought Hybrid Theory because I liked the cover art. I had no idea who LP was or that this would be top 3 of my favorite albums of all time. The 1st time I heard this song I was sitting in my wall locker between training sessions, and I won’t lie I actually got a little teary eyed. I come back to this album whenever I want to remember one the hardest and best times in my life. Thanks LP for the memories.

[unfunnydave]

I’m not a guy who grew up listening to this stuff, but this music taught me some amazing things about music. This band made me respect rap as a genre, taught me that edge can be an asset, how to put emotion into a song, and taught me how to write lyrics. Thanks

2024 ci siamo ancora per i Linkin Park

[tommyandchill]

I pulled over to the side of the turnpike earlier bc I couldn't process the news of what just happened to my favorite musician. My heart heavy and tears rolling down my face. Playing in the background was 'pushes me away' what is probably my all time favorite Linkin Park song. As I sat there.. I reflected. I reflected on 16+ years of what Chester and his music did for me. The music I used to help me get through some of the toughest and most darkest times of my life. Music I used to celebrate happy times with friends. Music of which I witnessed first hand at as many different concerts as I can count on my hands and toes. Music that has produced tears of joy and tears of sadness in my eyes. Music that has brought countless hours of singing at the top of my lungs both in the shower and whilst driving. Ive never met you Chester Bennington.. but I feel your powerful voice and music has shaped me into being the person I am today. Through your music, your gift of sound will forever live on with me.. for that I am truly thankful. RIP

This album has changed my life. Got me into rock and metal and is still my favourite album. It will never grow old

[AliceInPantera]

I used to fall asleep with my Walkman playing this disc every….single….night. This was probably the first album that I was ever truly obsessed with, and will always hold such a special place in my heart. It kills me I never took the time to go see them live…..ugh

[OfficialMusicality]

One of the more underrated songs from LP. This is a masterpiece. 🖤

[CloudMountainJuror]

This is the song that defined my taste in music.
