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 ↴
There's nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes
Staring back at me
Everything has to end, you'll soon find, we're outta time, left to watch it all unwhind
Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down
Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down
I've lied
To you
This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down)
(Everything has to end, you'll soon find, we're outta time, left to watch it all unwhind)
For sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down)
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me
I've tried
Like you
To do everything you wanted to
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end, you'll soon find, we're outta time, left to watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me
Reverse phsycology's failing miserably
It's so hard to be, left all alone
Telling you is the only chance for me
there's nothing left but, to turn and face you
When I look into your eyes, there's nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes staring back at me
Asking why...
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie (why)
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me
Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me
"P5hng Me A*wy" by Linkin Park is a song about the struggles of a failing relationship where the two people involved have grown apart from one another. The singer of the song is regretful and is self-reflective as he/she looks into the eyes of the other person and sees nothing but their own mistakes reflecting back. The lyrics indicate that they both know the relationship is coming to a close and they don't have much time left together. The song also explores the idea of sacrifice - of lying and pretending to be someone or something that they're not for the sake of the relationship.
In the chorus, the repeated lines "Everything has to end, you'll soon find, we're outta time, left to watch it all unwind, Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down," emphasize the inevitability of the relationship coming to an end. The singer acknowledges that no matter how hard they try, the relationship is going to fall apart, and they can't stop it.
The verses reveal that the singer has been pretending to be someone they're not to keep the relationship alive, but now they can't do it anymore. The line "This is the last time, I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you" shows that they are done pretending, and they are willing to let the relationship end. The lines "The sacrifice of hiding in a lie, The sacrifice is never knowing why I stayed with you" indicate a sense of confusion and frustration with the relationship.
Overall, the song is heart-wrenching and emotional, conveying the struggle of letting go of a failing relationship, and realizing that it's time to move on.

"Quantos músicos nós temos aqui?
Boa sorte para vocês todos, cara.
Nós estávamos aí do outro lado do palco também, há pouco tempo atrás
Comparecendo aos shows, vendo nossas bandas favoritas e sonhando alto
Sejam perseverantes, acreditem em vocês
E um dia vocês estarão aqui conosco, ou com o Metallica,
ou Limp Bizkit, Deftones, Mudvayne...
E por isso essa música é dedicada para vocês aí!"
Chaz era foda.. <3

P5hng Me A * wy
Cuando te miro a los ojos
No hay nada que ver
Nada más que mi propio error
Mirándome hacia atrás
Te he mentido
Esta es la última sonrisa
Que fingiré por el bien de estar contigo
(Todo se desmorona
Incluso la gente que nunca frunció el ceño con el tiempo se descomponen
Todo tiene que terminar
Pronto descubriremos que te queda poco tiempo
Para ver todo relajarse)
Por el bien de estar contigo
(Todo se desmorona
Incluso la gente que nunca frunció el ceño del ceño
Eventualmente romper)
El sacrificio es nunca saber
¿Por qué me quedo cuando te alejas?
No importa lo que veas
Todavía estás tan ciego para mí
Lo he intentado como tú
Para hacer todo lo que querías
Esta es la última vez
Tomaré la culpa por el bien de estar contigo
(Todo se desmorona
Incluso las personas que nunca fruncir el ceño el ceño finalmente se rompen)
El sacrificio de esconderse en una mentira
(Todo tiene que terminar
Pronto descubriremos que te queda poco tiempo
Para ver todo relajarse)
El sacrificio es nunca saber
¿Por qué me quedo cuando te alejas?
No importa lo que veas
Todavía estás tan ciego para mí
La psicología inversa está fallando miserable
Es tan difícil que te dejen solo
Decirte es la única oportunidad para mí
No queda nada, sino dar la vuelta y enfrentarte
Cuando te miro a los ojos
No hay nada que ver
Nada más que mi propio error
Mirándome fijamente y preguntándome
¿Por qué
El sacrificio de esconderse en una mentira
El sacrificio es nunca saber
¿Por qué me quedo cuando te alejas?
No importa lo que veas
Todavía estás tan ciego para mí
¿Por qué me quedo cuando te alejas?
No importa lo que veas
Todavía estás tan ciego para mí

@fruity-boi
Honestly, Reanimation deserves more credit and attention. People think it's just a remix album, but in my eyes, it stands on its own.
@frederikmetz709
Agreed. It was my first CD and I listened to it front to back probably over 1000 times. Its a masterpiece.
@Catsamex
I agree, Reanimation is the one I always go back to, with Meteora in 2nd
@DanteBellin
Especially the DVD-A version in 5.1 surround sound is absolutely mindblowing.
