From The Inside
Linkin Park · Meteora
I don't know who to trust, no surprise
Everyone feels so far away from me
Heavy thoughts sift through dust and the lies
Trying not to break but I'm so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself get back upon my feet
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring time between
And how trying to put my trust in you
Just takes so much out of me
Take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
Tension is building inside steadily
everyone feels so far away from me
Heavy thoughts forcing their way out of me
Trying not to break but I'm so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring time between
And how trying to put my trust in you
Just takes so much out of me
Take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
I won't waste myself on you
You, you
Waste myself on you
You, you
I'll take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
Everything from the inside
And just throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
You, you
Everyone feels so far away from me
Heavy thoughts sift through dust and the lies
Trying not to break but I'm so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself get back upon my feet
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring time between
And how trying to put my trust in you
Just takes so much out of me
Take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
Tension is building inside steadily
everyone feels so far away from me
Heavy thoughts forcing their way out of me
Trying not to break but I'm so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring time between
And how trying to put my trust in you
Just takes so much out of me
Take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
I won't waste myself on you
You, you
Waste myself on you
You, you
I'll take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
Everything from the inside
And just throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
You, you
From The Inside - Linkin Park
Released on the 2003 album Meteora, 'From The Inside' stands as a defining track in Linkin Park's evolution from nu-metal to alternative rock. Featuring the iconic collaboration between Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington, the song blends electronic textures with gritty vocals to explore themes of internal struggle and resilience. As a staple of the band's discography, it exemplifies the group's signature sound during their peak commercial success, influencing a generation of artists who sought to merge heavy instrumentation with melodic sensibilities. The recording remains a critical component of their catalog, often performed live to demonstrate the dynamic interplay between the two lead vocalists.
