In The End

Linkin Park · Road To Revolution Live At Milton Keynes [2008]

[It starts with]

One thing, I don't know why

It doesn't even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme

To explain in due time

All I know, time is a valuable thing

Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

Watch it count down to the end of the day

The clock ticks life away

It's so unreal, didn't look out below

Watch the time go right out the window

Trying to hold on but didn't even know

Wasted it all just to watch you go

I kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when



I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter



One thing, I don't know why

Doesn't even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme

To remind myself how I tried so hard

Despite of the way you were mocking me

Acting like I was part of your property

Remembering all the times you fought with me

I'm surprised it got so far

Things aren't the way they were before

You wouldn't even recognize me anymore

Not that you knew me back then

But it all comes back to me in the end

You kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when



I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter



I put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

And for all this

There's only one thing you should know



I put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

And for all this

There's only one thing you should know



I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

To lose it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

In The End - Linkin Park

Released on the 2008 live album Road To Revolution Live At Milton Keynes, this recording captures Linkin Park's signature blend of alternative metal and electronic elements. The track serves as a high-energy showcase of the band's evolution during the late 2000s, featuring dynamic interplay between Mike Shinoda's rap verses and Chester Bennington's soaring vocals. While originally recorded for the studio album Hybrid Theory, this live version highlights the group's ability to transform their studio sound into a powerful, stadium-ready performance. The song remains a defining anthem for the nu-metal genre, reflecting the band's commitment to pushing musical boundaries and delivering intense emotional resonance through their distinctive production style.
