Linkin Park甀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause no one will fight for you
And you think there's not enough love
And no one to give it to
And you're sure you've hurt for so long
You've got nothing left to lose
So you say you're not gonna fight
'Cause no one will fight for you
You say the weight of the world
Has kept you from letting go
And you think compassion's a flaw
And you'll never let it show
And you're sure you've hurt in a way
That no one will ever know
But someday the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go
Hold on, the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go
So hold on, the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go
So hold on, the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go
Just hold, on the weight of the world
Will give you the strength to go
The lyrics of "Robot Boy" by Linkin Park articulate the struggles of someone who has been hurt so much that they no longer have the energy or desire to fight for themselves. They believe that there is no one who will fight for them and that there is not enough love in the world. They are weighed down by past hurts and feel that they have nothing left to lose. The second verse continues this theme, with the singer explaining that the weight of the world has kept them from letting go and that they have come to see compassion as a weakness. They are certain that their pain is so deep and private that no one could ever understand it.
However, the chorus of the song offers a message of hope for those who feel trapped and alone. It suggests that the weight of the world, which has been such a burden, can also be a source of strength. If they can find a way to hold on and keep fighting, they will eventually find the inner resources to overcome their difficulties. The repeated refrain of "hold on" speaks to the importance of perseverance and resilience in the face of adversity.
Overall, "Robot Boy" is a powerful song that acknowledges the pain and despair that can accompany deep emotional wounds. At the same time, it offers a message of hope and encouragement, emphasizing the importance of staying strong and persistent in the face of life's challenges.
