Linkin Park - What I’ve Done

In this farewell
There’s no blood
There’s no alibi
‘Cause I’ve drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies

[Pre-Chorus:]
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I’ve done

[Chorus:]
I’ll face myself
To cross out what i’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what i’ve done

Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

For what I’ve done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I’m forgiving what I’ve done!!!

[Chorus]

What I’ve done
Forgiving what I’ve done

Linkin Park - Bleed It Out

[Mike Shinoda]

Yea here we go for the hundredth time,
Hand grenade pins in every line,
Throw ‘em up and let something shine.
Going out of my f**king mind.
Filthy mouth, no excuse.
Find a new place to hang this noose.
String me up from atop these roofs.
Knot it tight so I won’t get loose.
Truth is you can stop and stare,
bled myself out and no one cares.
Dug a trench out, laid down there
With a shovel up out to reach somewhere.
Yeah someone pour it in,
Make it a dirt dance floor again.
Say your prayers and stomp it out,
When they bring that chorus in.

[Chester Bennington]

(Chorus)
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away.
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away.
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away,
Just to throw it away,
Just to throw it away.

[Mike Shinoda]

I bleed it out.
Go, stop the show.
Choppy words and a sloppy flow.
Shotgun opera, lock and load,
Cock it back and then watch it go.
Mama help me, I’ve been cursed,
Death is rolling in every verse.
Candy paint on his brand new hearse.
Can’t contain him, he knows he works.
F**k this hurts, I won’t lie.
Doesn’t matter how hard I try.

Half the words don’t mean a thing,
And I know that I won’t be satisfied.
So why, try ignoring him.
Make it a dirt dance floor again.
Say your prayers and stomp it out,
When they bring that chorus in.

[Chester Bennington]

(Chorus)
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away.
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away.
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away,
Just to throw it away,
Just to throw it away.

I bleed it out.
I’ve opened up these scars,
I’ll make you face this.
I pulled myself so far,
I’ll make you face this now.

I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away.
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away.
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away,
Just to throw it away,
Just to throw it away.

I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away.
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away.
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away,
Just to throw it away,
Just to throw it away.

I bleed it out. [3X]

Linkin Park - Shadow Of The Day

I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes solutions aren’t so simple
Sometimes goodbye’s the only way

And the sun will set for you,
And the sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you…

In cards and flowers on your window,
Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes beginnings aren’t so simple
Sometimes goodbye’s the only way

And the sun will set for you,
And the sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in gray,
And the sun will set for you..

And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in gray,
And the sun will set for you..

And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in gray,
And the sun will set for you

Linkin Park - Valentine’s Day

My insides all turn to ash, So slow
And blew away as I collapse, So cold
A black wind took them away, From sight
And held the darkness over day, that night

And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing

I used to be my own protection, But not now
Cause my path has lost direction, Somehow
A black wind took you away, From sight
And held the darkness over day, That night

And the clouds above more closer
Looking so dissatisfied
And the ground below grew colder
As they put you down inside
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing

So now you’re gone
And I was wrong
I never knew what it was like
To be alone

On a Valentine’s Day
On a Valentine’s Day
On a Valentine’s Day
On a Valentine’s Day
On a Valentine’s Day

(I used to be my own protection)
On a Valentine’s Day,
(But not now)

On a Valentine’s Day

(Cause my mind has lost direction)
On a Valentine’s Day,
(somehow)
On a Valentine’s Day

(I used to be my own protection)
On a Valentine’s Day,
(But not now)
On a Valentine’s Day

(Cause my mind has lost direction)
On a Valentine’s Day,
(somehow)

Linkin Park - Leave Out All The Rest

I dreamed I was missing, you were so scared
But no one would listen, ’cause no one else cared
After my dreaming, I woke with this fear
What am I leaving when I’m done here?

So if you’re asking me, I want you to know

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don’t resent me, and when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest, don’t be afraid
I’ve taken my beating, I’ve shared what I made
I’m strong on the surface, not all the way through
I’ve never been perfect, but neither have you

So if you’re asking me, I want you to know

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don’t resent me, and when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting all the hurt inside you’ve learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I can’t be who you are

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don’t resent me, and when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting all the hurt inside you’ve learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I can’t be who you are

I can’t be who you are

Linkin Park - New Divide

I remembered black skies
The lightning all around me
I remembered each flash
As time began to blur
Like a startling sign
That fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this
Memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space
Between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide

There was nothing in sight
But memories left
Abandoned
There was nowhere to hide
The ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in
Between where we were
Standing
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this
Memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Across this new divide

In every loss
In every lie
In every truth that you’d deny
And each regret
And each goodbye
Was a mistake to great to hide
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this
Memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect the space
Between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide

Jenis Music

Pada awal pembentukannya, Linkin Park beraliran rock. Setelah masuknya seorang DJ atau turntablis bernama Joe Hahn, Linkin Park mengganti alirannya menjadi hip-hop. Namun, pada album Hybrid Theory, Linkin Park mengganti lagi alirannya menjadi nu metal dan rapcore. Demikian juga pada album Meteora, hanya saja Linkin Park juga menambahkan unsur elektronika.
Pada album Minutes To Midnight, segalanya berubah total. Linkin Park benar-benar mengurangi unsur nu metal secara spesifik. Sebagai gantinya, Linkin Park menggunakan aliran alternative rock. Ini jelas sebuah eksperimen mengingat kesuksesan Linkin Park dengan genre nu metal dalam album sebelumnya. Tetapi, ternyata eksperimen itu berhasil.
Teknis
Linkin Park jarang menggunakan teknik melodi gitar namun petikan gitar. Selain itu, rap dari Mike Shinoda sering muncul di banyak lagu. Terkadang Chester berteriak dalam beberapa lagu.
Lagi-lagi, perubahan terjadi di album Minutes To Midnight. Linkin Park mengurangi unsur rap dari Mike. Rapnya hanya ada di 2 lagu, yaitu Bleed It Out dan Hands Held High. Sementara vokal Chester lebih dominan dibanding sebelumnya. Linkin Park juga bermain lebih lembut.

Minutes to Midnight

Pada tahun 2006, mereka mulai merekam materi untuk album terbaru Linkin Park, yaitu "Minutes To Midnight". Banyak yang mengkritik Linkin Park karena sering tertunda peluncurannya. Walaupun begitu, Linkin Park menjamin bahwa album tanggal 14 Mei 2007 ini pantas untuk dikoleksi. Menurut Linkin Park, mereka menamai album barunya "Minutes To Midnight" (menit-menit menuju tengah malam) karena adanya isu nuklir di bumi ini yang dapat menghancurkan dunia pada saat tengah malam.
Sebanyak 100 lagu demo telah diciptakan namun hanya 12 yang dimasukkan ke dalam album. Tidak heran kalau album ini direkam selama 14 bulan. Dalam album Minutes To Midnight, unsur musik nu metal kurang kental. Walaupun demikian, album ini tetap digemari. Buktinya adalah album ini terjual hampir sebanyak 625 ribu kopi dalam pekan pertamanya (sebuah rekor dalam tahun 2007). Album studio ketiga ini diproduseri oleh Mike Shinoda dan Rick Rubin, mantan personil Beastie Boys. Singel pertamanya, "What I've Done", sudah mulai diputar di radio pada tanggal 2 April 2007. Minutes To Midnight juga menduduki tangga teratas Billboard. Pada tanggal 20 Agustus 2007, Linkin Park merilis singel keduanya, yaitu "Bleed It Out". Dan, pada bulan Oktober, Linkin Park akan merilis singel "Shadow of the Day".
Lagu "No Roads Left" bisa didapatkan melalui pemesanan lewat iTunes. Sementara lagu "Qwerty" bisa didapatkan di EP berjudul Linkin Park Underground v6.0.
Mereka juga merilis lagu "New Divide" yang dipakai untuk soundtrack film terbaru Transformers yaitu Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.Lagu ini juga sudah mencapai posisi 6 di Amerika Serikat dan di Inggris mencapai posisi 20

Proyek Sampingan

Atas permintaan MTV, Linkin Park berkolaborasi dengan Jay Z dalam album "Collision Course". Materi album ini adalah remix dari sebagian lagu-lagu Linkin Park dalam album "Hybrid Theory" dan "Meteora" serta lagu-lagu Jay Z dalam album "Blueprint" serta "The Black Album". Album tersebut dirilis tahun 2004 dan menghasilkan 2 singel, yaitu Numb/Encore yang mendapat penghargaan Grammy kategori "Lagu Rap Terbaik" dan "Kolaborasi Terbaik".
Pada tahun 2005, Linkin Park lebih mengutamakan konser amal. Mereka membantu korban tsunami pada bulan Desember 2004 dalam konser bertajuk Music For Relief. Linkin Park juga membantu mengumpulkan uang untuk korban Badai Katrina tahun 2004. Sementara itu, Mike Shinoda bergabung dengan Fort Minor dalam album "The Rising Tied". Chester Bennington juga punya proyek solo yang dinamai Snow White Tan yang selanjutnya populer dengan nama Dead By Sunrise. Lalu, Linkin Park pergi ke Jepang tahun 2006 untuk mengikuti festival musik populer di Jepang, yaitu Summer Sonic.

Meteora

Tanggal 25 Maret 2003, Linkin Park merilis album kedua bertitel Meteora. Nama tersebut diambil dari nama tempat ibadah di atas puing-puing di Yunani. Album ini juga meraih kesuksesan dengan penjualan kira-kira 11 juta kopi. Singelnya adalah Somewhere I Belong, Faint, Numb, From the Inside, Lying from You, dan Breaking the Habit.
Meteora memenangkan banyak penghargaan. Antara lain Penghargaan MTV kategori "Video Rock Terbaik" untuk lagu "Somewhere I Belong" dan "Penghargaan Pilihan Pemirsa" (Breaking The Habit). Linkin Park juga memenangkan penghargaan lain yaitu "Penghargaan Musik Radio 2004", "Penghargaan Artis Tahun Ini" dan "Penghargaan Lagu Tahun Ini" melalui lagu "Numb". Mesikpun album Meteora tidak sesukses Hybrid Theory album ini masuk 3 besar penjualan album di Amerika Serikat tahun 2003.
Linkin Park juga mengadakan Projekt Revolution Tour ke-2 serta sibuk ikut konser. Di sela-sela waktu itu, Linkin Park berhasil menyelesaikan rekaman album konser mereka, "Live In Texas", yang berisi lagu-lagu saat konser Linkin Park di Texas.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park meluncurkan album pertamanya, Hybrid Theory, pada tanggal 24 Oktober 2000 dengan singel pertama One Step Closer. Namun, yang lebih terkenal adalah singel Crawling dan In the End. Lagu ini telah membuat Linkin Park menjadi populer. Penjualan album itu melebihi 15 juta keping. Linkin Park lalu merilis edisi spesial dari Hybrid Theory, dengan 2 lagu baru High Voltage dan My December (lagu).
Linkin Park lalu merilis album aransemen ulang dari Hybrid Theory, Reanimation. Album ini pun meraih kesuksesan dengan penjualan kira-kira 10 juta kopi. Singelnya, Pts.Of.Athrty, tidak sepopuler singel di Hybrid Theory, namun cukup terkenal. Linkin Park, melalui Mike Shinoda dan Joseph Hahn, juga sempat bekerja sama dengan band The X-ecutioners dalam pembuatan singel It's Goin' Down. Linkin Park juga membentuk kelompok fans mereka bernama Linkin Park Underground, serta mulai mengadakan tur sendiri bernama Projekt Revolution, setelah sering diundang ke festival musik.
