In this world
Linkin Park Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You, always right beside me, never leaving your post
You always find me in the end, you never stop to bitch about the past
Biting my neck from day one it never last
I thought so, suspicious from the start
My eyes covered, a blind-folded lost soul
But I found my way, through the mess you made
Time's up, and it's time to pay
Even though I once believed our love was never-ending
I had to face the fact you ruined it all

You can't see me, I stay in the shadows 'til you're gone, waiting just to see you cry
(I'll be right behind you)
You can't find me, no matter where you look, I won't be around, I'll be right behind you
(I'll be right behind, right behind you)

(Come on, come on)

None of us wanted it to be this way
I would be trapped in enemy land if I stayed like a ticking bomb, about to blow any time
You're bad news and no one cross the line
You see, this world don't need a fool like you
But I'm planning to stay, I got lots to do
So before you close your eyes and turn out the light, take a look again, you'll find I'm wearin' my tie

Even though I once believed our love was never-ending
I had to face the fact you ruined it all

You can't see me, I stay in the shadows 'til you're gone, waiting just to see you cry
(I'll be right behind you)
You can't find me, no matter where you look, I won't be around, I'll be right behind you
(I'll be right behind, right behind you)

Come on, come on, right behind you
None of us wanted it to be this way
Like a ticking bomb, about to blow anytime, you're bad news
This world don't need a fool like you
Before you close your eyes and turn out the light, take a look again, you'll find I'm wearin' my tie

You can't see me, I stay in the shadows 'til you're gone, waiting just to see you cry
(I'll be right behind you)
You can't find me, no matter where you look, I won't be around, I'll be right behind you
(I'll be right behind, right behind you)

You can't see me
(You can't see me)
I stay in the shadows 'til you're gone, waiting just to see you cry
(I'll be right behind you)
You can't find me, no matter where you look, I won't be around, I'll be right behind you
(I'll be right behind, right behind you)





I'll be right behind, right behind you
Right behind, I'll be right behind you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "In This World" by Linkin Park tell a story of a relationship gone wrong, where one person feels the need to stay hidden in the shadows, waiting for the other person to finally leave their sight before revealing themselves to inflict pain. The first verse describes a person who is always present, but not necessarily in a supportive way. This person seems to be trying to hold the singer back, perhaps by reminding them of past mistakes or maintaining a negative attitude. The second verse suggests that the singer has realized that the relationship is not healthy but is still struggling to break free. They plan to stay and continue with their goals in life, despite the negative influence of the other person. The chorus echoes the idea of staying hidden until the right moment and emphasizes that the singer will always be right behind the other person, waiting for the opportunity to strike.
