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!.

I Just Want Your Company
Linkin Park Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ain't nothing working, ain't nothing right
There's a whole in me, that I can't fill, no matter how hard I try
Hey, hey, hey bartender, hit me with a double
And introduce me to that girl with the bobble
I'm looking for trouble tonight
No momma don't trust me tonight
You be the center baby, I'll be the quarter back
High get the tail back, watchin all the play back

Jaw smash, now heating now rambo
Up in the hands all, biting on the cannibal
I just want your company
I want you to comfort me, just come with me
Hey bartender, hit me with another
I'm just about how to kill this brother
I'm lookin for trouble tonight
No momma don't trust me tonight
You be the beauty baby, I'll be the beast
Who give a fucker, take it to the bedroom
Take it to the streets, take it like a man
Mother fucker, yo bitch chose me, mother fucker
I just want your company
I want you to comfort me, just come with me
I just want your company
I want you to comfort me, just come with me
Take me there, take me with you
I can't be alone tonight
I can't trust myself tonight
I can't trust myself tonight
Ladies don't trust me tonight
Take me there, take me with you
I can't be alone tonight
I can't trust myself tonight
I can't trust myself tonight
No you can't trust me tonight
Ain't nothing working, ain't nothing right
There's a whole in me, that I can't fill, no matter how hard I try
There ain't nothing sweeter, there ain't nothing wrong
All the pain that I've received keeps me strong,
It keeps me moving on
I just want your company,

I want you to comfort me,
Just come with

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Linkin Park's "I Just Want Your Company" speak to the feeling of emptiness and the desire for company to fill that void. The singer expresses their frustration with their current situation, feeling like nothing is working and nothing is right. They turn to alcohol and a girl they meet at the bar to forget their problems and find temporary relief from their loneliness. However, they also acknowledge that their behavior may not be trustworthy and that they might be looking for trouble. The desperation for companionship is reiterated in the repetition of the phrase "I just want your company" throughout the song.

The second verse continues with the theme of wanting connection but also recognizing that it may not be the healthiest or most stable way to find it. The singer calls themselves the "beast" and the girl they are with the "beauty," implying a power dynamic that is not necessarily equal or respectful. They also suggest taking their relationship to different environments -- the bedroom or the streets -- indicating a willingness to take risks or engage in potentially dangerous behavior. The song ends with a repetition of the first verse and the chorus, emphasizing the singer's desperation for human connection.

Line by Line Meaning

Ain't nothing working, ain't nothing right
Things aren't going well and nothing is working out as it should be

There's a whole in me, that I can't fill, no matter how hard I try
I feel empty inside, and no matter what I do, I can't seem to fill that void

Hey, hey, hey bartender, hit me with a double
I need a drink, and I want it strong

And introduce me to that girl with the bobble
I'm looking for a girl to take my mind off of things, and I want the bartender to introduce me to someone attractive

I'm looking for trouble tonight
I want to do something wild and reckless

No momma don't trust me tonight
I can't be trusted to make good decisions tonight, even my mother wouldn't trust me

You be the center baby, I'll be the quarterback
Let's work together as a team to have some fun, with you being the center of attention and me the leader
