[Verse: Mike Shinoda]
Listen, my blood feels like it's sitting still in my veins
My motivation was gone before it even came
Today and yesterday, they both seem the same
And no matter how I try, I just can't change

Give me one reason I should go outside
Everything'll be the same no matter what I try
Some people'll live and some people'll die
Some people'll build their whole life on a lie

I used to blame you for the things that I thought you'd say
So now, I can't blame you for going away
'Cause these memories are the blood beating under my skin
Repeating the same thoughts again and again

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
Again and again
You said we couldn't last long enough
Or be strong enough
Again and again
You said our voices weren't loud enough
But we've had enough because

We want our future back
We want our own mistakes
To take our own path
We wanna do it again

[Instrumental Verse]

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
Again and again
You said we couldn't last long enough
Or be strong enough
Again and again
You said our voices weren't loud enough
But we've had enough because

We want our future back
We want our own mistakes
To take our own path
We wanna do it again

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
Again and again
You said we couldn't last long enough
Or be strong enough
Again and again
You said our voices weren't loud enough
But we've had enough because

We want our future back
We want our own mistakes
To take our own path
We wanna do it again and again

You said we couldn't last long enough
Or be strong enough
Again and again
You said our voices weren't loud enough
But we've had enough because

We want our future back
We want our own mistakes
To take our own path
We wanna do it again

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.
