Formed in 1996, Linkin Park rose to international fame with their debut studio album, Hybrid Theory (2000), which became certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Released during the peak of the nu metal scene, the album's singles' heavy airplay on MTV led the singles "One Step Closer", "Crawling" and "In the End" all to chart highly on the US Mainstream Rock chart. The lattermost also crossed over to the nation's Billboard Hot 100. Their second album, Meteora (2003), continued the band's success. The band explored experimental sounds on their third album, Minutes to Midnight (2007). By the end of the decade, Linkin Park was among the most successful and popular rock acts.
The band continued to explore a wider variation of musical types on their fourth album, A Thousand Suns (2010), layering their music with more electronic sounds. The band's fifth album, Living Things (2012), combined musical elements from all of their previous records. Their sixth album, The Hunting Party (2014), returned to a heavier rock sound, and their seventh album, One More Light (2017), was a substantially more pop-oriented record. Linkin Park went on a hiatus when longtime lead vocalist Bennington died in July 2017. In April 2022, Shinoda revealed the band was neither working on new music nor planning on touring for the foreseeable future.
Linkin Park is among the best-selling bands of the 21st century and the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 100 million records worldwide. They have won two Grammy Awards, six American Music Awards, two Billboard Music Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, 10 MTV Europe Music Awards and three World Music Awards. In 2003, MTV2 named Linkin Park the sixth-greatest band of the music video era and the third-best of the new millennium. Billboard ranked Linkin Park No. 19 on the Best Artists of the Decade list. In 2012, the band was voted as the greatest artist of the 2000s in a Bracket Madness poll on VH1. In 2014, the band was declared as "The Biggest Rock Band in the World Right Now" by Kerrang!.

In My Remains
Linkin Park Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't concentrate, searching for a message
In the fear and pain, broken down and waiting
For the chance to feel alive
Now in my remains
Are promises that never came
Set this silence free
Come apart, falling in the cracks
Of every broken heart, digging through the wreckage
Of your disregard, sinking down and waiting
For the chance, to feel alive
Now in my remains
Are promises that never came
Set this silence free
To wash away the worst of me
Like an army, falling
One by one by one
Like an army, falling
One by one by one
Like an army, falling
One by one by one
Like an army, falling
One by one by one
Now in my remains
Are promises that never came
Set this silence free
To wash away the worst of me
Like an army, falling
One by one by one
Like an army, falling
One by one by one
The lyrics of Linkin Park’s song "In My Remains" seem to be about someone who is struggling to deal with a past that has left them broken and searching for something to hold onto. The person who is singing the lyrics seems to be sifting through the wreckage of their life, unable to concentrate or find a message that offers them some hope or guidance. In their fear and pain, they are waiting for a chance to feel alive again.
Now in my remains
Our promises that never came
Except this silent rain
To wash away the worst of me
These lines seem to suggest that the person has been let down by someone they trusted, perhaps a lover or a friend, who made promises that were never kept. The “silent rain” may represent the tears that the person has shed over this betrayal, or it might be a metaphor for the cleansing process that needs to happen in order for the person to move on and feel alive again.
The chorus of the song, with the repeated line “Like an army, falling one by one by one,” seems to be a way of expressing the feeling of being overwhelmed by one’s problems, but also of finding solace in the fact that they are not alone in their suffering. The bluesy, melancholic melody adds to the sense of resignation and sadness that permeates the song.
Line by Line Meaning
Separate, sifting through the wreckage
Trying to find something valuable in the midst of a disaster, tearing things apart
I can't concentrate, searching for a message
Feeling lost and distracted, looking for guidance
In the fear and pain, broken down and waiting
Feeling trapped by emotions, helpless and waiting for something to change
For the chance to feel alive
Hoping for an opportunity to break free from negativity and truly experience life
Now in my remains
Despite everything that has happened to me, I still have these parts of myself left
Our promises that never came
The commitments we made to each other that were never fulfilled
Except this silent rain
The only thing that seems to have come from our broken promises is tears and sadness
To wash away the worst of me
The tears help cleanse me of my negative thoughts and actions
Come apart, falling in the cracks
Breaking down and experiencing pain, falling deeper into despair
Of every broken heart, digging through the wreckage
Feeling the pain of others who have been hurt, searching for clues to understand their suffering
Of your disregard, sinking down and waiting
Feeling the hurt of being ignored or neglected, feeling helpless and waiting for someone to notice
For the chance to feel alive
Still holding out hope for a chance to break free from pain and really live
Like an army, falling
Using an army as a metaphor to represent the many negative emotions and experiences taking over
One by one by one
Each negative experience or emotion compounds on top of the other
Like an army, falling
Continuing the military metaphor to represent the overwhelming nature of the negativity
One by one by one
Each experience or emotion feels like another soldier in the army, adding to the weight on your shoulders

I've been ditched for someone else few weeks ago. I'm recovering but I can't stop thinking about her.
And since one week, this song keeps coming up in my mind.
Right now I feel like I can relate a lot to the first part of this song:
"Separate
Sifting through the wreckage
I can't concentrate
Searching for a message
In the fear and pain
Broken down and waiting
For the chance to feel alive
Now in my remains
Are promises that never came
Set the silence free
To wash away the worst of me"

I don't really imagine how you cannot like this song, I mean, I can somehow understand why people love other songs and identify something that pleases everyone, but this is a masterpiece and no one cares, feels bad. I mean, the lyrics, the melody, the feelings, this song got everything and still not as popular as even other Linkin Park songs. Ill keep searching for more again, Burn it down in my remains
