[Intro: Mike Shinoda]
Even when it's not about you, about you
All of a sudden it's about you now, ooh
Even when it's not about you, about you
All of a sudden it's about you
Even when it's not about you, about you
All of a sudden it's about you now, ooh
Even when it's not about you, about you
All of a sudden it's about you

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
This is that gather 'round it and wonder where I found it
This is that wake up, make your agent have your tour re-routed
This is that drama comma pain and ain’t no way around it
'Cause somehow still it's hard to know what I can say about it
I buckled up, told myself to suck it up
I was scared to death to get up there and spill my fucking guts
I was saying pull your stupid self together buttercup
Get it crackin' Back in Black until you have 'em Thunderstruck
But

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
Even when it's not about you, about you
All of a sudden it's about you now, ooh
Even when it's not about you, about you
All of a sudden it's about you, about you

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
No, there's not a single thing that I can say
Not a single solitary, every meaning changes shape
Even when there's no connection back to you in any line
All of a sudden it's about you and it gets me every time but
What the fuck is left to author anyway?
When I basically been writin' since the Raiders ran LA
I'm afraid that maybe I've said everything there is to say
Maybe I should make an exit while there're ways to get away

[Bridge: Blackbear]
Can't find the words to a memory
But these are just words to a melody
Find something that works, fits the symmetry
For only a quick broken remedy
And I'd give anything to choose
Pick out the words I bring home to you
How can I make do?
Put a smile on change my attitude
And even though it's not about you
Everything is all about you
All about you

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
Even when it's not about you, about you
All of a sudden it's about you now, ooh
Even when it's not about you, about you
All of a sudden it's about you now, ooh
Even when it's not about you, about you
All of a sudden it's about you now, ooh
Even when it's not about you, about you
All of a sudden it's about you, now
Even when it's not about you, about you
All of a sudden it's about you now, ooh
Even when it's not about you, about you
All of a sudden it's about you now
Even when it's not about you, about you
All of a sudden it's about you now, ooh
Even when it's not about you, about you
All of a sudden it's about you, about you

Mike Shinoda

Most known for being the founder of alternative rock band Linkin Park, Michael Kenji “Mike” Shinoda is an American vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, producer, graphic designer, and manager. In 1996, Shinoda founded Linkin Park (as Xero) playing rhythm guitar, keyboards, writing, rapping, and singing for the band. Mike also had a hip-hop/rap side-project called Fort Minor, and occasionally composed scores for films and games such as Medal of Warfighter, The Redemption, MALL, the theme for AMC’s Into the Badlands, and more.

On July 20, 2017, Linkin Park’s lead singer Chester Bennington died by suicide. Both band members and fans were devastated, especially Shinoda. On October 27 of the same year, Shinoda lead the band in a tribute concert for Chester with guest appearances from friends of the band. The band is now on a brief hiatus.

Shinoda has written and produced a solo album called Post Traumatic in which he pays tribute to Bennington. Released on June 15th, 2018, the album shows how brave he has been facing this event.
