Faint
Linkin Parkꠀ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact
That everyone can see these scars
I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you
To just believe this is real
So I, let go watching you turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend I'm not
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored
I am, a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
'Cause you don't understand I do what I can
But sometimes I don't make sense
I am, what you never want to say, but I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for once just to hear me out
So I, let go watching you turn your back like you always do
You face away and pretend I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored
You hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me like it or not
Right now, hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me like it or not
Right now
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored
I can't feel
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored
In "Faint," Linkin Park uses powerful lyrics to express the feelings of frustration and desperation when someone is feeling ignored by another person. The opening lines of the song express the singer's inner turmoil and confusion about the situation. He feels like he's a mix of different emotions, including loneliness and disregard. He's aware of his own flaws and complaints but is helpless in making others understand him.
The chorus of the song repeatedly states the message of not being ignored, that the singer won't stand for being left out or forgotten. He feels deeply hurt by the fact that someone he cares about doesn't seem to value him in the same way. The bridge of the song adds another layer to his feelings, expressing insecurity and a lack of confidence. He tries to make sense of the situation, but no matter what he does, he can't seem to make the other person see his point of view or listen to his pleas.
Overall, "Faint" is a poignant and emotional song that speaks to the universal experience of feeling unheard and overlooked. The lyrics, coupled with the intense guitar riffs and Chester Bennington's raw vocals, make for a powerful and memorable song.

I believe Chester's voice is the only element missing from this, but this piano version was performed pretty damn well with that one exception.
