Faint/toxic

Linkin Park · Other Songs - Linkin Park

With a taste of your lips

I'm on a ride

You're toxic

I'm slipping under

With a taste of poison paradise

I'm addicted to you

Don't you know that you're toxic

I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard

Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact

That everybody can see these scars

I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel

But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you

To just believe this is real

So I, let go watching you turn your back like you always do

Face away and pretend that I'm not

But I'll be here cause you're all that I've got



With a taste of your lips

I'm on a ride

You're toxic

I'm slipping under

With a taste of poison paradise

I'm addicted to you

Don't you know that you're toxic

And I love what you do

Don't you know that you're toxic

Don't you know that you're toxic



I am, a little bit insecure, a little unconfident

'cause you don't understand I do what I can

Sometimes I don't make sense

I am, what you never wanna say, but I've never had a doubt

It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you

for once just to hear me out

So I, let go watching you turn your back like you always do

You face away and pretend that I'm not

But I'll be here cause you're all that I've got



With a taste of your lips

I'm on a ride

You're toxic

I'm slipping under

With a taste of poison paradise

I'm addicted to you

Don't you know that you're toxic



With a taste of your lips

I'm on a ride

You're toxic

I'm slipping under

With a taste of poison paradise

I'm addicted to you

Don't you know that you're toxic



Intoxicate me now

With your lovin' now

I think I'm ready now

I think I'm ready now

Intoxicate me now

With your lovin' now

I'm ready now



..I won't be ignored

Faint/toxic

Linkin Park's 'Faint/toxic' stands as a defining track from the band's mid-to-late 2000s era, blending their signature nu-metal roots with electronic experimentation. The song features a driving, industrial beat and a haunting vocal delivery that underscores themes of emotional fragility and modern alienation. While often associated with the broader sound of their discography, it represents a distinct shift toward darker, more atmospheric textures compared to the anthemic pop-punk of 'Hybrid Theory.' The recording showcases the group's ability to integrate complex production techniques with raw emotional expression, cementing their status as innovators who pushed the boundaries of rock music during a pivotal period in their career.
