Linkin Park

Released: December 15, 2017

[Intro: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
That's right
Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for Chester Bennington
Hell yeah

[Chorus 1: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
Can I get an encore, do you want more?
Cookin' raw with the L.A. boy
So for one last time I need y'all to roar
Uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah! So, what the hell are you waitin' for?
After us, there shall be no more
So for one last time, make some noise y'all

[Verse 1: Chester Bennington]
Tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

[Pre-Chorus: Chester & Mike Shinoda]
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow

[Chorus 2: Chester Bennington]
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

[Verse 2: Chester Bennington]
Can't you see that you're smothering me?
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart, right in front of you

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
And every second I waste is more than I can take

[Chorus 2: Chester Bennington]
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

[Bridge: Crowd & Chester Bennington]
And I know, I may end up failing, too
But I know, you were just like me
With someone disappointed in you

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

[Outro: Chester Bennington]
I've become so numb
Tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb
Tired of being what you want

[Chorus 1: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
Can I get an encore, do you want more?
Cookin' raw with the L.A. boy
So for one last time I need y'all to roar
Uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah! So, what the hell are you waitin' for?
After us, there shall be no more
So for one last time, people, make some noise

Hybrid Theory isn’t just the title of Linkin Park’s chart-topping debut album, but a career mission statement.

From day one, the same six players (lead vocalist Chester Bennington, drummer/percussionist Rob Bourdon, guitarist Brad Delson, bassist Dave ‘Phoenix’ Farrell, DJ/Programmer Joe Hahn, and keyboardist, guitarist, and co-lead vocals Mike Shinoda) built the band by fusing all their favorite styles of music into one unmistakable signature sound. With each album, Linkin Park defiantly challenges themselves and their fans by blasting into new musical territory. After setting the template for rock that incorporated hip-hop influences with Hybrid Theory and Meteora, they shifted gears completely and defied expectations with the polychromatic Minutes to Midnight, and again with the esoteric A Thousand Suns, before melding a piece of them all into 2012’s LIVING THINGS. With their 2014 release and heaviest offering in years, The Hunting Party, Linkin Park manage to capture their ever-innovative spirit with a hunger seldom seen in bands on their seventh album. One More Light (2017) is an interesting personal album, filled with a lot of emotion.

Unfortunately, on July 20, 2017, Chester unexpectedly died by suicide, shocking and saddening both fans and his own band members alike.
