The band's current lineup comprises vocalist/rhythm guitarist/keyboardist Mike Shinoda, lead guitarist Brad Delson, bassist Dave Farrell, DJ/turntablist Joe Hahn and drummer Rob Bourdon, all of whom are founding members. Vocalists Mark Wakefield and Chester Bennington are former members of the band. Categorized as alternative rock, Linkin Park's earlier music spanned a fusion of heavy metal and hip hop, while their later music features more electronica and pop elements.

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 ↴

Graffiti decorations
Under the sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learned were never true

Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again

I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true

Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again

I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

I'm gonna run away and never say goodbye
Gonna run away, gonna run away
Gonna run away, gonna run away
I'm gonna run away and never wonder why
Gonna run away, gonna run away
Gonna run away, gonna run away
I'm gonna run away and open up my mind
Gonna run away, gonna run away (mind)
Gonna run away, gonna run away (mind)
Gonna run away, gonna run away (mind)
Gonna run away, gonna run away (mind)

I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why

I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

I wanna run away and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Linkin Park's song Runaway paint a picture of graffiti decorations under a sky of dust, suggesting a landscape of urban decay and neglect. The constant wave of tension on top of broken trust communicates a sense of hopelessness and despair. The lessons that protagonist learned were never true, and they find themselves in question, with guilt by association - pointing the finger at them again. The chorus "I wanna run away, never say goodbye/I wanna know the truth instead of wondering why/I wanna know the answers, no more lies/I wanna shut the door and open up my mind" communicates the singer's desire to escape from a world filled with deceit and unanswered questions.

Throughout the song, there seems to be a sense of disillusionment and frustration directed toward an unknown person or group. The lyrics convey a desire to leave behind the problems that they are facing and explore new and honest realities. The song’s lyrics speak to the feeling of restlessness and fear that comes with a deep desire to escape from problems rather than addressing them.

Line by Line Meaning

Graffiti decorations
The environment is cluttered and messy

Under the sky of dust
The polluted air causes discomfort

A constant wave of tension
A stressed environment where everyone's on their toes

On top of broken trust
Trust has been breached and cannot be mended

The lessons that you taught me
The teachings given to me

I learned were never true
The teachings were misleading and false

Now I find myself in question
I am now doubtful and uncertain

They point the finger at me again
I am being blamed for something I didn't do

Guilty by association
I am being held responsible for associating with the wrong people

You point the finger at me again
I am being accused of wrongdoing again

I wanna run away
I want to escape my current situation

Never say goodbye
I want to leave without regret

I wanna know the truth
I want to discover the actuality of the situation

Instead of wondering why
To stop the confusion and uncertainty

I wanna know the answers
I want to know the solutions to the questions at hand

No more lies
I no longer want to hear false information

I wanna shut the door
I want to leave my problems behind

And open up my mind
I want to approach life with a new and refreshed perspective

It was also hard for me to listen to Linkin Park after Chester passed.
Sometimes i wanna end my life, but my daughters wife and family the small things hold me.
This song makes me kick life in it's ASS :)
Makes me happy!

I'm 32 today, I grew up on LP, Good times being a kid with this kind of music.
Thank you Mike, Brad, Rob, David, Joe and of the late Chester.
"I heard you die twice
once when they bury you in the grave
And the second time is the last time that
somebody mentions your name
So when I leave here on this earth
did I take more than I gave?
Did I look out for the people or
did I do it all for fame?"
R.I.P Chester you only died once.

I have always listened to music that had heavier lyrics, in terms of reality I mean, so back then this was just lyrics, but nowadays it has so much more meaning. It's like the difference between a movie and reality, back then it was just lyrics to rebellious songs, but now its like “no, it was all reality.“

@@benjaminbrown6211: nah, from terrible things that have happened to us, seen happen or even what we've done if it was an accident or forced because of someone else. Like me, I have asthma and the sickle cell disease and I've tried 6 times to kill myself because of it. The 7th time was because I found out the truth of the universe meaning I now know how humans and the spiritual world works and because I absolutely hate bugs except for butterflies, the amount of times bugs have touched me had gotten to me :/ , and the 8th time was because of the ungodly amount of a-holes and idiots I've seen and encountered and the 9th time which is the last time(for now I think) was because my game was lagging so fking bad I couldn't do anything and I hated it so much because it was one of my distractions from life and my pain and it could've killed me even if I wasn't on peaceful so I tried to kill myself because of it ;-;(It's minecraft) Btw, like two or three weeks ago I had witnessed a shootout and I saw both shooters while one of them saw me back which scared me because I don't wanna die suffering. I want it to be quick, but no one was hurt but either way I had to get out of there. I shouldn't have been there in the first place. The complex was surrounded and filled with negative energy which hurts me and the a-hole woman living above us didn't help. She was being as annoyingly and unnecessarily loud and my hearing is quite sharp, almost like a dog's really but not completely. I couldn't take it anymore. Now that I'm 19 turning 20 in August I should be able to stay at my dad's now for as long as I want. I honestly just wanna go back to Heaven and be God's right hand woman again.
Also, turns out I'm immortal. If earth isn't destroyed many centuries later I would come back but probably in a new body but since the God of Destruction found His way back into our universe since 2020(which I predicted) and is now in our solar system since 2021 or 2022 which was so fking fast meaning I am one of God's angels or maybe it's something else, but being some sort of angel would explain why I have powers. I'm still trying to figure out if I'm a fallen angel or an earth angel. Btw, fallen angels don't become demons after falling to earth. They become demons after being tricked so fking hard by an evil being. I had a vision which is now helping me to remember more of my past lives. That's why I know this stuff. Btw, I knew how s*x works ever since I was born meaning I am clearly immortal and just came back to life at that point and can retain some sort of information from my past lives. I am slowly remembering my past lives. I only remember a little bit of my time in Heaven(which is literally just made of clouds) and my time in Eden's Garden which was beautiful. One time I saw the castle in the clouds. I wish I had a phone at that time so I could've either taken a picture or recorded it. I hope I get to see it one more time before we go. I do not know if the forbidden fruit was and apple or something else but I do know that one side was bigger than the other and one side was colored as a light rainbow while the other side was a dark rainbow. I guess it was some sort of apple but the only type of apple that couldn't be reproduced. Btw, the leviathan is the fish that swallowed Jonah. A whale or any other water animal we've discovered is not big enough to swallow him, but a person is able to get into its mouth but that's it. The leviathan is now dormant way under the ocean or probably in the glaciers of the artic actually. Either way the leviathan is coming back in like 2025 or 2026 or maybe even 2024 because of how fast it's melting. Everyone be careful as we are in the end times and something more terrible will happen in 2028 or 2029 than what's happened and going to happen between now and then. Also, who mocks someone that wants to make sure everyone is happy and safe and how will humans take down an immortal being when He is in the spiritual realm, a place we cannot see without God's help and cannot touch while it's able to touch us? A lot of humans are stupid and I don't know how to change that... Also why won't ppl at least try to see if God is real instead of saying things they know nothing about? Like seriously. Also why be afraid of the spiritual world when it can't really hurt you? I mean, sure you can't do whatever you want but that's just how life is. You can't always get what you want so you might as well follow the ultimate rule. Plus in Heaven you can get whatever you want. The physical world we live in is a test to see who would do what is right at all times. A simulation while the Gods are the players and we NPCs. Anything is possible after all and I'm still trying to figure out why ppl are scared of things they don't know like just get to know it. Stop being a fking coward and you'll see that it might not be harmful. Everything is dangerous in its own right meaning you must always be prepared for what is up ahead in your life so therefore when the time comes you are either encountering something dangerous you are prepared but if it's not then be grateful that it's not harmful but prepared because it could've been. Good luck in life everyone! God bless y'all.

Where you have "Wave attention", you should have "wave of tension". Where you have "I'm a talk of" before "taking action" you should have "All my talk of" instead. Other than that I think you got it!

Because one more computer stripped sounding pop album and it will tarnish who you guys really are.Youre a nu metal band who changed my whole perception on music.Thats what made you stars.Thats what made you famous.Neglecting that amazing musical technique is like Giving us a 5 star meal and then telling us because it's what you wanna make that we have to enjoy a shitbutter and jelly sandwich.

The meaning of the song Runaway basically tells about the true story of the vocalist, Chester Bennington. When Chester was a child, he was sexually abused by an older friend. He felt the desire to escape (Runaway), from his naughty friends.

From this event, Chester was mentally affected. He is afraid of being blamed by people, he is afraid of being blamed by society, he is also sorry for hanging out with the wrong people.

Graffiti decorations
Under the sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learned were never true
Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
I'm gonna run away and never say goodbye
Gonna run away, gonna run away
Gonna run away, gonna run away
I'm gonna run away and never wonder why
Gonna run away, gonna run away
Gonna run away, gonna run away
I'm gonna run away and open up my mind
Gonna run away, gonna run away (mind)
Gonna run away, gonna run away (mind)
Gonna run away, gonna run away (mind)
Gonna run away, gonna run away (mind)
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind

Gonna be listening to Linkin Park for the next 24 hours. We miss you so much Chester. I know you went through so much and I don't blame you. You had such a beautiful voice and you saved my life with your music. Grieving has taken so long and sometimes I still get intense waves of hurt and frustration because you're really gone, but sometimes it doesn't even feel real. I started listening to Linkin Park when I was born, and 15 years later I still love you guys. Chester you taught me that it's okay to be angry and hurt. Through the last few months you guys have basically taken over my life, and I can't say I'm upset about it. I love you all of you guys so much and I'm so sorry for Brad, Mike, Joe, Rob, and Dave's loss of their brother. I wish I could have told you how much you helped me heal Chester. I still cannot believe you're really gone. You were such a funny and beautiful person and you have made me into a better person. You made me into somebody that I don't hate. You made me realize that it's okay to have those days where you break down and cry for hours straight because that's what makes you human.

I love these songs, I grew up with them and they really helped me -- even now as an adult. However, it's very eerie when you realize many of these songs were vocalizing Chester's struggles and the inner demons he had himself over the years. His way of venting, his way of crying out for help, his way of fighting even though he was tired of it all. It was raw and true, which is probably why so many of us can relate to this music on some level.

The album and the music made me understand myself better as a kid.I understood why I wanted to scream, I understood what it is like to never be understood by people around you, what it was like being an outcast, someone who kept getting bullied, made fun of, laughed at. They helped me calm myself down, shut everything off in my mind and just jam to the music. A lot of us go through that phase in our teen years where everything is daunting, confusing, scary. LP helped me through that a LOT.
