in between
Linkin Park㠀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me apologize for what I'm about to say
But trying to be genuine was harder than it seemed
And somehow I got caught up in between
Let me apologize to begin with
Let me apologize for what I'm about to say
But trying to be someone else was harder than it seemed
Between my pride and my promise
Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that's worse than one is none
Let me apologize to begin with
Let me apologize for what I'm about to say
But trying to regain your trust was harder than it seemed
And somehow I got caught up in between
Between my pride and my promise
Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that's worse than one is none
The only thing that's worse than one is none
And I cannot explain to you
In anything I say, or do, or plan
Fear is not afraid of you
Guilt's a language you can understand
I cannot explain to you in anything I say or do
I hope the actions speak the words they can
For my pride and my promise
For my lies and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that's worse than one is...
For my pride and my promise
Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that's worse than one is none
The only thing that's worse than one is none
The only thing that's worse than one is none
The lyrics to Linkin Park's song "In Between" express the frustration and difficulty of trying to express oneself honestly and authentically while simultaneously trying to maintain one's pride and promises. The singer begins by apologizing for what he is about to say, admitting that being genuine is harder than it seems. He is caught up in between trying to be himself and trying to be someone else, and this conflict causes him to be unable to communicate effectively with the person he is addressing.
The chorus echoes this inner conflict, as the singer is torn between his pride and his promises, and between his lies and the truth. He wants to say something important to the person he is addressing, but the message gets lost before it can come out. The only thing worse than saying something wrong is not saying anything at all.
The bridge of the song reflects on the difficulty of explaining oneself and apologizing when one has done wrong. Fear and guilt can be powerful forces, and it can be challenging to express sincere regret. The singer hopes that his actions will speak louder than his words and demonstrate his genuine remorse.

很喜欢叨叨冯的音乐赏析，边分析还能边演奏两种乐器，差不多一个人就是一支乐队了。

冯老师太虐人了呀～～ Chester 的声音依然那么感动…… 若有人跌倒了 一定要把他扶起来！ 我想这也是指“若我们看见有人在在人生低谷坠入的时候… 我们也要……… 扶他起来…” 🥰
