No More Sorrow
Linkin Park Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In your lies?
Do you tell yourself "I don't realize"?
Your crusade's a disguise
Replace freedom with fear
You trade money for lives
No, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced
I see pain
I see need
I see liars and thieves
Abuse power with greed
I had hope
I believed
But I'm beginning to think that I've been deceived
You will pay for what you've done
No, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced
Thieves and hypocrites
Thieves and hypocrites
Thieves and hypocrites
No, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced
No more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced
Your time has come to be replaced
Your time has come to be erased
The lyrics to Linkin Park's "No More Sorrow" portray a strong sense of frustration and anger towards the current state of society. The opening lines ask if the listener is lost in their lies and if they are aware that they have been deceiving themselves. The verses go on to criticize the destruction of freedom in exchange for fear and how money is being prioritized over human lives.
The chorus repeats over and over again a message that enough is enough. The singer has paid for the mistakes of those in power and is tired of seeing the abuses of power, greed, and corruption. The repetition of the line "Your time has come to be replaced" emphasizes the severity of the situation and how change needs to happen now.
Overall, the song speaks to the idea of accountability and taking responsibility for one's actions. Those in power are being held accountable for their mistakes, and it is time for change to occur. The lyrics paint a bleak picture of the current state of society but also offer hope that change can happen and that the future can be different.
