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!.

Linkin Park Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come, coming at you
Come, coming at you, yo
Peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it
We drop right back in the cut over basement tracks
With raps that got you backing this up like (rewind that)
Rise from the ashes of stylistic division
With these non-stop lyrics of life living
Not to be forgotten but still unforgiven
But in the meantime there are those who want to
Talk this and that, so I suppose that
It gets to a point where feelings gotta get hurt
And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt, it goes
Try to give you warning but everyone ignores me
(Told you everything loud and clear)
But nobody's listening, call to you so clearly
But you don't want to hear me
(Told you everything loud and clear)
But nobody's listening
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
Handful of anger, held in my chest
And everything's left is a waste of time
I hate my rhymes (but hate everyone else's more)
I'm riding on the back of this pressure
Guessing that it's better I can't keep myself together
Because all of this stress gave me something to write on
The pain gave me something I could set my sights on
You never forget the blood, sweat, and tears
The uphill struggle over years
The fear and trash talking
And the people it was to
And the people that started it
Just like you
Try to give you warning but everyone ignores me
(Told you everything loud and clear)
But nobody's listening, call to you so clearly
But you don't want to hear me
(Told you everything loud and clear)
But nobody's listening
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
Handful of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle, blood, sweat, and tears
Nothing to gain, everything to fear
A heart full of pain, head full of stress
Handful of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle, blood, sweat, and tears
Nothing to gain, everything to fear
A heart full of pain, a heart full of pain
Try to give you warning but everyone ignores me
(Told you everything loud and clear)
But nobody's listening
Call to you so clearly but you don't want to hear me
(Told you everything loud and clear)
But nobody's listening
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
Nobody's listening
Handful of anger, held in my chest
Nobody's listening
Uphill struggle, blood, sweat, and tears
Nobody's listening
Nothing to gain, everything to fear
Nobody's listening
Come, come, come, coming at you
Come, come, come, coming at you
Come, come, come, coming at you
Come, come, come, coming at you from every side
The song "Nobody's Listening" by Linkin Park is a commentary on society's tendency to ignore those who are suffering and struggling. The lyrics begin with an introduction of the band's style and the fact that their message is being overlooked by the public. The song goes on to describe the pain and stress that the lead singer is feeling, and how he has tried to warn others but feels that nobody is listening to him. He expresses frustration with those who talk negatively about him and his struggles, and how they continue to spread lies and negativity. Despite the uphill battle he faces, he refuses to give up and continues to speak his truth.
The repetition of the phrase "heart full of pain, head full of stress, handful of anger, held in my chest" is particularly poignant, emphasizing the emotional weight that the singer is carrying. The use of repetition throughout the song also adds to the overall feeling of frustration and desperation.
In the end, the song is a call to action, urging listeners to pay attention to those around them who may be struggling and to take action to help them. It is a powerful reminder that even when it seems like nobody is listening, our words and actions can have a profound impact on those who need it most.
