LOST
Linkin Park Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just a scar somewhere down inside of me
Something I can not repair
Even though it will always be
I pretend it isn't there (this is how it feel)
I'm trapped in yesterday (this is how it will be)
Where the pain is all I know (this is all I know)

And I'll never break away (can't break free)
'Cause when I'm alone

I'm lost in these memories
Living behind my own illusion
Lost all my dignity
Living inside my own confusion

But I'm tired
I will always be afraid
Of the damage I've received
Broken promises they made
And how blindly I believed (this is all I know)

I will never break away (can't break free)
'Cause when I'm alone

I'm lost in these memories
Living behind my own illusion
Lost all my dignity
Living inside my own confusion

I try to keep this pain inside
But I will never be alright
I try to keep this pain inside
But I will never be alright
I try to keep this pain inside (I'm lost)
But I will never be alright
I try to keep this pain inside (I'm lost)
But I will never be alright

I'm lost in these memories
Living behind my own illusion




Lost all my dignity
Living inside my own confusion

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Linkin Park's song "Lost" set the somber tone for the rest of the track. The singer describes a deep, internal scar that cannot be repaired despite efforts to ignore its presence. The feeling of being "trapped in yesterday" is pervasive, as is the pain that dominates every thought. This pain is all the singer knows, and they describe being unable to break away from it even when they are alone. The lyrics suggest that the pain is tied to memories that are both haunting and inescapable.


The chorus continues this theme, with the singer expressing a desire to hide their pain from the world. However, they acknowledge that the pain will never go away, and they will never be "alright." The lyrics paint a picture of a person who is struggling to come to terms with past trauma and the emotional toll it has taken on them. The confusion and loss of dignity are palpable, as is the sense of being lost in one's own illusions.


Overall, the song "Lost" speaks to the difficulty of healing from emotional wounds. The lyrics describe the trap of being consumed by past pain and the impossibility of escaping it. The chorus expresses a sense of resignation, suggesting that some wounds never fully heal.

@theharshtruthoutthere

@Prime We admire their "beauty" of the rich and famous. Are they truly beautiful? as they seem to have:
- hoofs for the legs
- bald heads
- animal faced /birds, dogs, wolves , you name it)
- tails
- horns


(Channels which share knowledge about this topic:
Divine truth1
offshoot100
Enalpekaf News)

But they "look" human?. Sure they do. They must hide, of we would kill them as we would then know, who they are (offspring of Cain = the cursed bloodline)
But they "look" human?. - it is just an illusion.
What`s underneath the illusion? - didn`t you already get a picture?


Ever noticed that every singer has at least 1 dark song?
Could it be, they sharing their experience after signing the blood contract?
M J – has “thriller”
K P – has “wide awake”

Ever tested your ears? To see to these truly hear?
The same with your eye? To see to these truly see?
As BIBLE also reminds us and asking from us:
Mark 7:16
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Mark 8:18
Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
1 Corinthians 14:38
But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

Just a scar somewhere down inside of me
Something I can not repair
Even though it will always be
I pretend it isn't there (This is how it feel)
I'm trapped in yesterday (This is how it will be)
Where the pain is all I know (This is all I know)

And I'll never break away (Can't break free)
'Cause when I'm alone

I'm lost in these memories
Living behind my own illusion
Lost all my dignity
Living inside my own confusion

But I'm tired
I will always be afraid
Of the damage I've received
Broken promises they made
And how blindly I believed (This is all I know)

And I'll never break away (Can't break free)
'Cause when I'm alone

I'm lost in these memories
Living behind my own illusion
Lost all my dignity
Living inside my own confusion

I try to keep this pain inside
But I will never be alright
I try to keep this pain inside
But I will never be alright
I try to keep this pain inside (I'm lost)
But I will never be alright
I try to keep this pain inside (I'm lost)
But I will never be alright


I'm lost in these memories
Living behind my own illusion
Lost all my dignity
Living inside my own confusion
