Halfway Right
Linkin Park Lyrics

I scream at myself when there's nobody else to fight
The singer is frustrated with himself and takes out his anger by yelling at himself.

I don't lose, I don't win, if I'm wrong, then I'm halfway right

Used to get high with the dead end kids
The singer used to hang out with a troubled group of people.

Abandoned houses where the shadows live
The artist used to spend time in abandoned places where he felt a sense of darkness and isolation.

I never been higher than I was that night
The artist had an intense experience where he felt euphoric and in control.

I woke up driving my car
The singer had a blackout and cannot remember how he ended up in his car.

I couldn't see then what I see right now
The singer did not realize the consequences of his actions at the time, but now understands the gravity of the situation.

The road dissolving like an empty vow
The artist felt lost and directionless while driving, as if he had no purpose.

Couldn't remember where I've been that night

I knew that I took it too far

All you said to do was slow down
Someone advised the singer to slow down and be more cautious.

I remember, now I remember
The artist now remembers the advice given to him.

But I was already gone
The singer did not heed the advice and continued on his reckless path.

I know what I want, but It feels like I'm paralyzed
The singer has a clear goal in mind but feels stuck and unable to make progress.

Told me kid you're going way too fast

You burn too bright, you know you'll never last

It was bullshit then, I guess it makes sense now

Said I'd lose you if I lost control

I just laughed because what do they know?
The singer dismissed the warning as unimportant or irrelevant.

Here I am, standing all alone, because I took it too far

I don't lose, I don't win, if I'm wrong, then I'm halfway right, halfway right
