in between
Linkin Park렀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me apologize to begin with
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
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

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

Overall Meaning

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.

Wow you guys! I'm glad you teamed up together! And you were just a state below me. I'm here in South Carolina, near our state's capital Columbia and the University of South Carolina! Georgia is one of my favorite places probably because my Great Aunt and Uncle lived there with some of my favorite cousins and we visited frequently. Susie is absolutely sweet with a beautiful home. I hope she warns you about Atlanta driving! I hope you guys enjoyed your first Thanksgiving. It is a blessing to have someone so lovely to share it with, good friends and new friends and new adventures! You are off to a fantastic start! Always so respectful to the properties you visit. During the fall it gets dark really early and continues until December then the days slowly get longer. I hope you enjoy the USA. We won't have the historical culture that goes as far back as the UK & EU but there is a lot to be seen and discovered. The historical content and buildings are just as fascinating as a new Country was being formed. I'm excited to watch this series. Take care, stay safe and I know you've already passed our area but maybe next time stop by South Carolina-The Palmetto State. God Bless! xoxo Kat 💕 Love One Another

I hope you enjoyed your trip to my country!! It truly is sad how bad homelessness is in the US, and how our government doesn't do much to solve the problem. It's getting worse every year. I'm glad you're back on Youtube! Be safe out there!

@nannyofmany8315
