From The Inside
♫ Linkin Park Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know who to trust your surprise
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Happy thoughts sift through dust and the lies
(Trying not to break but I'm so tired of this deceit)

(Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
(All I ever think about is this)
(All the tiring time between)
(And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me)

Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
'cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you

Tension is building inside steadily
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Happy thoughts forcing their way out of me
(Trying not to break but I'm so tired of this deceit)
(Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet)
(All I ever think about is this)
(All the tiring time between)
(And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me)

Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you

I won't waste myself on you
You
You
Waste myself on you
You
You

I'll take everything from the inside and throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you

Everything from the inside and just throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you

I lost my best friend of 20+ years to suicide on March 12 of 2017. I was absolutely devastated.
He meant more to me than anyone in my family. We were inseparable. A few months later is when
I found out that Chester took his own life. I'm 38 right now so when Linkin Park dropped Hybrid Theory
I was in Highschool during the most impressionable years of my life. Linkin Park absolutely took over
the life of every kid that was my age. It didn't matter if you were a fan of their genre or not, EVERYBODY
loved Linkin Park! Linkin Park was one of only a few bands that actually got me into listening to more
than just rap music. I still remember getting a ride from a friend in Highschool over to this girl Miranda's
house that I had a huge crush on.. and during the ride to her house we were playing the Hybrid Theory
album. I remember being so excited because at that time I was a virgin, and I knew this girl was into me.
The anxiety of not knowing what was going to happen. But knowing that I was a young teenager in love.
That was over 20 years ago and I still remember every detail as though it happened last week.


Fast forward to today. It's been just over 5 years since losing my best friend to suicide. I blamed myself
for several years that followed. Mostly because I missed his text and his call on the day that he took his
life. It took me a very long time to even feel like things would be ok. I wasn't able to snap out of the dark
depression it lead me into until fairly recently. In fact, I'd probably still be in the same situation if it weren't
for the fact that my ex wife finally allowed my son to come live with me. He's 13 years old now and this is
the first year where he's been with me the entire time. It's brought life to my very dark world. I continue on
for the love of my son. I continue on because I know how heart broken I was to lose my best friend.

No matter how much pain we're in.. there are *ALWAYS OTHER PEOPLE AROUND THAT LOVE YOU*.


The song that was playing?



I watch how the moon
Sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
And the sun doesn't give light to the moon assuming
The moon's going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do
Favors then rapidly, you just
Turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me
I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head!

I watch how the moon
Sits in the sky in the dark night

And the sun doesn't give light to the moon assuming
The moon's going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do
Favors then rapidly, you just
Turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me
I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

Maybe someday I'll be just like you and
Step on people like you do and
Run away all the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm, used to be strong
Used to be generous but you should've known
That you'd
Wear out your welcome now you see
How quiet it is all alone
I'm so
Sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I'm so
Sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

Stay away

I'm so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger (stay)
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed (a-)
While I find a place to rest

I'm so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger (-way)
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place, to feed your greed (stay away from me)
While I find a place to rest
