Waiting For The End
林肯公园(Linkin Park) Lyrics

This is not the end
The situation is not yet over

This is not the beginning
The current state of affairs did not just start

Just a voice like a riot
The singer's voice is forceful and passionate

Rocking every revision
Every change has an impact on the artist

But you listen to the tone
The receiver perceives the artist's delivery

And the violent rhythm
The emotions in the singer's voice have an intense pulse

Though the words sound steady
The words are clear and even

Something empty's with 'em
There is a lack of substance or meaning behind the words

We say yeah, with fists flying up in the air
The artist and others express enthusiasm or agreement

Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there
The artist and others are grasping for something intangible

Cuz we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear
The singer and others are being controlled by their emotions

Until we get it, forget it
Don't dwell on what has happened

Let it all disappear
Let it all go

Waiting for the end to come
Anticipating the end of a situation

Wishing I had strength to stand
Desiring the courage to face the situation

This is not what I have planned
The current circumstances are not what the artist intended

It's out of my control
The situation cannot be influenced by the artist

Flying at the speed of light
Thoughts are coming quickly and intensely

Thoughts were spinning in my head
The singer is mentally confused

So many things were left unsaid
Regret for not expressing one's thoughts

It's hard to let you go
The artist has difficulty moving on from someone or something

I know what it takes to move on
The artist understands what is needed to progress

I know how it feels to lie
The singer understands the emotions and pain of deception

All I wanna do is trade this life for something new
The artist wants to escape their current existence

Holding on to what I haven't got
The singer clings to what they do not have

Sitting in an empty room
The singer feels isolated and alone

Trying to forget the past
The singer is attempting to move on from past experiences

This was never meant to last
The current situation was not intended to be permanent

I wish it wasn't so
The artist regrets the current state of affairs

What was left when that fire was gone
After passion and energy have faded away

I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
The singer had thought they were correct but realized they were mistaken

All caught up in the eye of the storm
The artist feels trapped in the middle of a difficult situation

And trying to figure out what it's like moving on
The artist is attempting to understand how to move forward

And I don't even know what kind of things I said
The artist is unsure of their own words and actions

My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
The singer spoke unconsciously and without thought

Picking up those pieces now where to begin
The artist is attempting to put their life back together

The hardest part of ending is starting again
Beginning anew is the most difficult part of ending

I'm holding on to what I haven't got
The singer is grasping at things they do not have
