Linkin Park - Waiting For The End (Live 2017)

Linkin Park
Song : Waiting For The End
Concert : 2017 Rock Werchter Festival Belgium

Lyrics

This is not the end
This is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot
Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone
And the violent rhythm
And though the words sound steady
Something empty's within 'em

We say "Yeah!"
With fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something
That's invisible there
'Cause we're living at the mercy of
The pain and the fear
Until we get, forget it
Let it all disappear

Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It's out of my control

Flying at the speed of light
Thoughts we're spinning in my head
So many things were left unsaid
It's hard to let you go

I know what it takes to move on
I know how it feels to lie
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

Sitting in an empty room
Trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last
I wish it wasn't so

I know what it takes to move on

I know how it feels to lie
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

Yeah, yeah
What was left when that fire was gone?
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out what it's like moving on
And I don't even know what kind of things I've said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
So, picking up the pieces, now where to begin?
The hardest part of ending is starting again!

All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

This is not the end
This is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot
Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone
And the violent rhythm
Though the words sound steady
Something empty's within 'em
(Holding on to what I haven't got)

We say "Yeah!"
With fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something
That's invisible there
'Cause we're living at the mercy of
The pain and the fear
Until we get it, forget it
Let it all disappear
(Holding on to what I haven't got!)

Just 2 weeks after this performance we lost a truly amazing soul...

[TheMonkeyMedicine]

Watching this makes me want to cry. Chester touched so many people. So sad to think he just couldn't feel that in his last hours. I don't know the guy, but I love him. LP has kept me company in many of my dark hours.

[KingScarletlet]

Still watching at 2022, at 4:50 noticing Chester singing "Holding on to what I have'nt got" part while holding on to the fans cuts deeply .

[williamwassmann]

I keep coming back to this "If only he could have loved himself as much as we loved him"

[beriksabdenov]

What a feeling when his singing in front of you...RIP legend! Such a talent born once in a hundred years

[fenderdude]

Can you imagine how hard this was for Emily? I can't through half the song without choking up, just think of what was going though her head right up to the first chorus. LP forever.

[Jaegabomb]

Mike’s rapping with Chester’s singing is just unparalleled. Best dual vocalists in any band period. I can’t wait to see what Emily Armstrong does with Mike. Seeing them in Portland in September of 25’, I can’t wait. I know she’s not Chester, but I appreciate her doing her best to fill those shoes and helping LP continue on.

[zuzusmile]

Come back here from the annoucement of the new vocal. No one can sing Waiting for the end like Chester. I was burst in tears while Emily sang this song because it just take me back to Chester's voice and all the emotions I felt when I heard this song the first time

[alexey]

When Chester leaves the stage for the audience, Mike stays there and looks very lonely 4:12, and works out for vocals on stage in a solo, and he doesn't seem to be watched.
Now he is appreciated much more. He is Linkin Park's first and last pillar.

[ashemmadawa]

It doesn't matter how mature you are if ur a true LP fan tears come every time when u watch this

[dfreeman]

This is the absolute best version of this song. Holy crap start to finish!!!!

[potts]

I love how he goes and sing into the audience, what a wonderful experience

[lunakittyx]

Who's here in 2024?
Also LP concerts will never be the same without Chester 😢

[guitheaxe]

Impressionante que em praticamente todos os shows que se tem imagens de 2017, tem o Chester cumprimentando o publico....talvez ele estivesse conscientemente se despedindo.

[mrwasgehtsiedasan]

I‘m so happy for those people who saw him. I had never the chance to hear him live 😢 RIP Chester ❤ we will never forget you.

[ebros]

All those people in the front row surrounded Chester were amazing angels for making him smile like that

[nandap]

This is ten percent luck
Twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure
Fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name

He doesn't need his name up in lights
He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic
He feels so unlike everybody else, alone
In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him
But fuck 'em, he knows the code, it's not about the salary
It's about reality and making some noise
Making a story, making sure his clique stays up
That means when he puts it down, Tak's pickin' it up

[cpt.hookcod]

Waiting for the end is my all time favorite song to listen to

[isajay]

Still crying almost every time I hear his voice 😢 He was so loved, by so many … Why did you have to leave us Chester 💔

[matthewexebio]

Cried watching this. We miss you so much, Chester.
