Waiting For The End
Linkin Park/Musicfire.in Lyrics

This is not the end
It may seem like the end, but it's not.

This is not the beginning
It's also not a new beginning; it's just another phase.

Just a voice like a riot
The singer has a lot of energy and passion that they are expressing.

Rocking every revision
They are shaking things up and making changes to the status quo.

But you listen to the tone
The audience hears the artist's tone of voice.

And the violent rhythm
The beat of the music is intense and powerful.

And though the words sound steady
The words themselves seem stable and firm.

Something empty's within 'em
Despite this, there is an underlying emptiness or lack of fulfillment in the artist's words and feelings.

We say, "yeah"
The audience joins in and agrees with the artist.

With fists flying up in the air
People are showing their enthusiasm and passion.

Like we're holding onto something
Even though we may not have a physical thing to hold onto.

That's invisible there
The thing we're holding onto is intangible and not real.

'Cause we're living at the mercy of
We're subject to the whims of life and its challenges.

The pain and the fear
We're afraid and in pain, and that's driving our actions.

Until we dead it, forget it
The singer is advocating for a way to move on and forget the pain and fear.

Let it all disappear
The pain and fear should vanish so that we can move forward.

Waiting for the end to come
The artist is anticipating change or closure.

Wishing I had strength to stand
The singer feels weak and wants to be stronger.

This is not what I had planned
Things have not gone according to the singer's expectations.

It's out of my control
The circumstances are beyond the artist's ability to manage or direct.

Flying at the speed of light
The artist is moving rapidly, perhaps through life or thought.

Thoughts were spinning in my head
The artist is overwhelmed with ideas or emotions.

So many things were left unsaid
There were important topics or feelings that were not expressed.

It's hard to let you go
The artist is having difficulty moving on from a person, place, or thing.

I know what it takes to move on
The singer has experience with moving on.

I know how it feels to lie
The singer understands the emotions that can lead someone to be deceitful.

All I wanna do
The singer has a strong desire or goal.

Is trade this life for something new
They're seeking change and something different from their current existence.

Holding on to what I haven't got
They're holding onto hopes or unfulfilled desires.

Sitting in an empty room
The singer is alone and possibly feeling unfulfilled.

Trying to forget the past
They want to leave behind previous experiences.

This was never meant to last
The artist understands that things are transient and not meant to be forever.

I wish it wasn't so
The artist is expressing regret or sadness about their situation.

What was left when that fire was gone?
After things calm down and the excitement fades, what remains?

I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
The singer was confident in a decision or path, but it didn't end up being correct.

All caught up in the eye of the storm
The artist is in the midst of a difficult or dangerous situation.

Tryna figure out what it's like moving on
The singer is struggling to understand how to move on and cope.

And I don't even know what kind of things I've said
The singer is feeling disoriented and uncertain in their words or actions.

My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
They had a verbal response but didn't put conscious thought into it.

So, picking up the pieces, now where to begin?
After something falls apart, the artist is uncertain how to rebuild.

The hardest part of ending is starting again
It's challenging to begin anew after a difficult or traumatic experience.

Yeah, yeah
An expression of affirmation and agreement.
