From the Inside
Linkin Park Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know who to trust, no surprise
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Happy thoughts sift through dust and the lies
(Trying not to break but I'm so tired of this deceit)

(Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet)
(All I ever think about is this)
(All the tiring time between)
(And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me)

Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you

Tension is building inside steadily
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Happy thoughts forcing their way out of me
(Trying not to break but I'm so tired of this deceit)
(Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet)
(All I ever think about is this)
(All the tiring time between)
(And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me)

Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you

I won't waste myself on you
You
You
Waste myself on you
You
You

I'll take everything from the inside and throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you

Everything from the inside and just throw it all away




'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you
You, you, you

Overall Meaning

The song "From the Inside" by Linkin Park revolves around the themes of betrayal and mistrust. The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling to find someone trustworthy to confide in, as they feel that everyone is emotionally distant and insincere. The singer is plagued with the universal human emotion of trying to keep up a facade of happiness, despite feeling betrayed and used. They are tired of suppressing their true emotions and trying to make things work with someone who they no longer trust.


This song can be interpreted as a reflection of the struggles in maintaining relationships, especially ones that have been damaged by deceit and lies. The lyrics speak to the frustration and exhaustion that comes with trying to put faith in someone who continuously lets you down. The chorus, "Take everything from the inside and throw it all away / 'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you," conveys a sense of finality and closure. The singer is done trying to make things work and is choosing to let go of the toxic relationship.

I don't know who to trust, no surprise
Everyone feels so far away from me
Heavy thoughts sift through dust and the lies
Trying not to break, but I'm so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring time between
And how trying to put my trust in you
Just takes so much out of me
Take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
Tension is building inside, steadily
Everyone feels so far away from me
Heavy thoughts forcing their way out of me
Trying not to break, but I'm so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring time between
And how trying to put my trust in you
Just takes so much out of me
Take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
I won't waste myself on you
You
You
Waste myself on you
You
You
I'll take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
Everything from the inside
And just throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
You
You
