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 ↴
Waiting, is something that's easy for you
Pull the plug, send it down the drain
Pain is easy to get used to
What's in me, is in you
What's got me, has got you
And everything told, must come true
Sin, is always at my door
Slice the vein, blood spilled on the floor
Light shining in my eyes
Death greets me with a smile
Pain
So much pain
Pain
So much pain
Linkin Park's song "In Time" is a powerful and introspective piece, with lyrics that seem to explore themes of loss and pain, as well as the way in which we confront the inevitability of our own mortality. The song's opening lines, "Time, why must it fly so slow / Waiting is something that's easy for you," might be interpreted as a reflection on the way in which our lives seem to pass us by, even as we spend much of that time waiting for something to happen. The tension between the slow pace of time and the speed with which our lives seem to disappear is a central theme throughout the song, as the singer grapples with the sense of inevitability that comes with the passing of time.
The song's chorus, with its repeated refrain of "Pain, so much pain," is a powerful meditation on the way in which suffering seems to define so much of our experience. Whether it is the physical pain of injury or illness, or the emotional pain of loss and heartbreak, pain is a central aspect of human existence, and one that we can never truly escape. The lines "What's in me, is in you / What's got me, has got you / And everything told, must come true" suggest that the singer is wrestling with the idea that our experiences of pain and loss are, in some ways, universal. Whether we like it or not, we are all subject to the same forces of time and fate, and the things that we fear or try to avoid will ultimately come to pass.
