Giving In
●Linkin Park Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Will you, walk me to the edge again?
Shaking, lonely, and I am drinking again
Woke up tonight and no one's here with me
I'm giving in to you

Take me under
I'm giving in to you
I'm dying tonight
I'm giving in to you
Watch me crumble
I'm giving in to you
I'm crying tonight
I'm giving in to you

Caught up, in life
Losing all my friends
Family has tried, to heal all my addictions
Tragic it seems, to be alone again
I'm giving in... To you

Take me under
I'm giving in to you
I'm dying tonight
I'm giving in to you
Watch me crumble
I'm giving in to you
I'm crying tonight
I'm giving in to you

I look forward, to dying tonight
Drink till I'm myself, life's harder every day
The stress has got me
I'm giving in
Giving in
Giving in now!

Take me under
(I'm killing all the pain)
I'm dying tonight
(I'm sick of all this faith)
Watch me crumble
(I'm killing all the pain)
I'm crying tonight

I'm giving in to you
Take me under
I'm giving in to you
I'm dying tonight
I'm giving in to you
Take me under
I'm giving in to you




I'm dying tonight
I'm giving in to you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Linkin Park's song "Giving In" are about a person who is struggling with loneliness and addiction. The opening lines depict the person asking someone to take them to the edge again, suggesting that they want to feel something intense. They then confess to feeling shaken, lonely and drinking again. They wake up with no one around and give in to their addiction.


The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm giving in to you" several times, suggesting that addiction has taken control of the person's life. The subsequent lines say "Take me under, I'm dying tonight, watch me crumble, I'm crying tonight," which could imply that the person feels like they are close to death and are in pain. The second verse depicts the person as having lost all their friends, with family members trying to help them overcome their addictions.


The bridge is particularly haunting with the lines "I look forward to dying tonight, drink till I'm myself, life's harder every day, the stress has got me, I'm giving in, giving in, giving in now!" These lines express the feeling of hopelessness and despair that the person feels. They want to give up, and the addiction has consumed them entirely.


Overall, the lyrics of this song are dark, troubling, and concerning. They suggest that the person is in a significant amount of pain and sees no way out of their struggle. It highlights the importance of having support systems and seeking help when one is struggling with addiction.
