Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jornada del Muerto by Linkin Park are in Japanese and translate to "Lift it up and let it out, lift it up and let it out." The title of the song Jornada del Muerto means "Journey of Death" and refers to the name of a desert in New Mexico where the first atomic bomb was tested during World War II. The theme of the song seems to center around releasing pent up emotions and thoughts.


Throughout the song, there's an intense sense of urgency conveyed through both the vocal delivery and the instrumentals. The repetitive nature of the lyrics emphasizes the importance of speaking up and expressing oneself. The song can be interpreted as encouraging the listener to release whatever problems or emotions they may be harboring, to not keep things bottled up and instead, allow for a cathartic release.

THIS INTRO SONG HAS SOME OF THE BEST MEANING EVER.
Lets break it down.
Jornada Del Muerto translates in spanish to "Day of the dead" Keep that in mind.
Jornada Del Muerto is also the site that they tested the bombs to be dropped onto Hiroshima & Nagasaki.
This is one of the men that was on the "Manhattan Project", which were the people who developed the first nuclear weapons. This is what he said about the test at Jornada Del Muerto. “If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky" It just so happens that the album is called "A Thousand Suns".
The lyrics translated to english is "Lift me up, let me go", but that has nothing to do much with the meaning. It is just forshadowing the nearing "The Catalyst".

So lets put this together. Jornada del muerto = Day of the dead. You could say when hiroshima & nagasaki dropped it was a "day of the dead", it was also where they tested the bombs to drop there, "Life me up, let me go" is sung in japaniese because THATS WHERE THEY DROPPED THE BOMBS THEY TESTED. 

THIS SONG HAS SO MUCH MEANING! UGH! AND IT'S NOT EVEN A FULL LENGTH SONG!!!1!!!

the whole album is criminally underrated and so artistic and creative and ahead of its time.

This song is fucking genius. A Thousand Suns will forever be one of favorite records.
