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 ↴
**This is not a Linkin Park song, it only features Chester in it**
In the chill of the night
I can feel my heart racing
As I run towards the light
that seems so far away
Wondering forever
Wondering if I will ever see you again
Wondering if I will ever see you again
I'll take your love
(I'll take your love)
I'll take your hate
(take your hate)
I'll take you're desire
I'll take the world
when it turns on you
(when it turns on you)
I'll set it on fire
W-the-w-th-th-the walking dead
The walking dead (walking dead)
Digging in the dirt
I can feel you getting closer
Steadying my hands through the blistering pain
Anxiously awaiting for the earth to reveal you
Wondering if I will ever see you again (see you again)
Wondering if I will ever see you again
I'll take your love
(I'll take your love)
I'll take your hate
(take your hate)
I'll take you're desire
I'll take your heart
I'll take your pain
(I'll take your pain)
I'll bring you to life
I'll bring you to life
W-the-w-th-th-the walking dead
The walking dead (walking dead)
I'll bring you to life
I'll take your love
(I'll take your love)
I'll take your hate
(take your hate)
I'll take you're desire
I'll take the world
when it turns on you
(it turns on you)
W-the-w-th-th-the walking dead
I'll take your love
(I'll take your love)
I'll take your hate
(take your hate)
I'll take you're desire
I'll take your heart
I'll take your pain
(I'll take your pain)
I'll bring you to life
The lyrics to "The Walking Dead" by DJ Z-Trip featuring Chester Bennington (though it is important to note that this is not a Linkin Park song) depict a sense of urgency and longing. The singer finds themself in a dark and uncertain place, both physically and emotionally. They are running towards a distant light, hopeful to be reunited with someone they deeply care about.
The opening lines set the atmosphere of the song, with the singer feeling their heart racing in the chilling night. As they navigate through the shadows, there is an underlying fear of never seeing their loved one again. This uncertainty and desperation are reinforced through repetition, as they continuously wonder if they will ever have the chance to be reunited.
Despite the hardships and challenges they face, the singer makes a bold declaration. They are willing to accept and embrace all aspects of their loved one, whether it be love or hate, desire or pain. They are determined to take on the world, even if it turns against them, and set it on fire. This symbolizes their unwavering commitment and willingness to fight for what they believe in.
In the second verse, the imagery shifts to digging in the dirt. There is a sense of anticipation and hope as they feel their loved one getting closer. Though enduring blistering pain, they hold onto optimism, anxiously waiting for the earth to reveal their cherished person. Again, the uncertainty of whether they will ever see each other again is emphasized.
The song intensifies as the chorus repeats, with the singer vowing to bring their loved one to life. They are determined to take on any challenges or burdens their loved one carries, taking both their love and hate, their heart and their pain. This showcases a profound dedication and willingness to sacrifice for the sake of their relationship.
Overall, "The Walking Dead" expresses the yearning to reconnect and the willingness to overcome obstacles in order to be with someone they deeply care about. It encapsulates themes of love, determination, and resilience.
