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!.

MyLinkin Park Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
This is my December
This is my snow-covered home
This is my December
And I (just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed)
And I (take back all the things I said to make you feel like that)
And I (just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed)
And I (take back all the things that I said to you)
And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
This is my December
These are my snow-covered trees
This is me pretending
This is all I need
And I (just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed)
And I (take back all the things I said to make you feel like that)
And I (just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed)
And I (take back all the things that I said to you)
And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
Give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
Give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to
The Linkin Park song "My December" is a haunting ballad that tells of the singer's feelings of loneliness and isolation during the month of December, which is typically associated with holidays and gatherings with loved ones. The lyrics are highly personal and introspective, revealing the singer's regrets and desire to go back and change things that he has said and done in the past. The lines "And I (just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed) / And I (take back all the things I said to make you feel like that)" suggest that the singer has hurt someone close to him and is now consumed with guilt and a sense of loss.
The repeated refrain "Give it all away / Just to have somewhere to go to / Give it all away / To have someone to come home to" underscores the singer's poignant desire for connection and belonging. He is willing to sacrifice everything in order to find a sense of place and purpose in the world. The specific image of snow-covered trees and a snow-covered home suggests a sense of isolation and bleakness, as if the singer feels trapped by his own memories and emotions.
Overall, "My December" is a deeply emotional and introspective song that speaks to the universal human experience of feeling lost and alone. The singer's vulnerability and honesty make the lyrics all the more powerful, and the haunting melody and stripped-down instrumentation add to the sense of intimacy and introspection.
