Lyrics for In The End as interpreted by Matt

In The End Lyrics
It starts with one
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
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite 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

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've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
for all this
There's only one thing you should know

I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
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

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
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property

i do agree they r sellouts... but i wuz listenin to them be4 they were all over MTV and that other crap. they were a lot better before. and i dont think its a matter of "fairness", but i do agree a lot of bands work harder and get less credit. I still like them tho. but... i cant even watch their music vids ne more cuz im so fuckin tired of em.

Ginger... who the hell do you think you are? If you hate this band so much, why did you even bother coming to check out the lyrics? And if people like this band, then good for them. If you hate it or despise it or something like that, well good for you, but you have no business telling people to fuck themselves as they are doing what most of society is. I can bet that when you hear "popular" songs on the radio you don't turn it off, but do like millions of others and listen to it. Anyhow, I'd be interested in knowing what kind of music you listen to. I'm sure everyone who commented on this song would love to tell you to fuck yourself if they knew the type of music that you listen to and disliked it. I don't really care what you think about me, but if you think you're that cool, why don't you tell us all what your favourite band is. And remember, people don't give a shit about what you think of them... they'll wear those shirts and put up their posters if they want to.

yeah linkin park definitely sucks and chester definitely doesn't write lyrics that he really feels deeply about rather he just writes about realationships and stuff. stuff that he thinks sounds cool. not to mention rap and rock don't usually mix well. but this is for song meanings and i believe it's about trying hard with a relationship to keep it going and it slowly just falls apart and in the end it didn't matter how hard you tried. now i don't know why i just wasted my time doing that cuz' anyone who didn't already know that is pretty dumb, but hey i'm bored. if you want to hear something sorta like linkin park that doesn't SUCK get some taproot.

ok i finally read like all these things and you guys are all dumbasses. first all this has nothing to do with popularity so i can't say in the end is a pop song by style of music only by "pop"ularity. this shit is fucken RAP! that's all it is. and for anyone who thinks they're the most talented band around, well listen to chester and mike live and you'll cry, they've got like six guitars at the same time in their songs and it's mostly all turntables not to mention all the bass is synthetic, and just listen to how horrible the drums are. i agree with the papa roacher guy. linkin park only existed to sell out and other bands who really work thier asses off don't get shit for credit. and linkin parks only had like 13 songs! And have been around for like two years. and it's not even like it's because they put alot of work into it and that's why it takes so long. the tool kid you know you're are a disgrace to an excellent band like tool. if you like them use them as an example. tool has had 4 albums which they worked hard on all of them and are all talented musicians and until lateralus got no real recognition but this fucken rap rock shit just get's huge immediately because fucken ghetto people love mike and the supposable "headbangers" or whatever think they're depressed and they can "totally relate" to these manufactured band's manufactured lyrics. yeah i used to like LP too before they went mainstream but i don't hate them now so much for the fact they are sellouts as they are shit with no talent and just regular rap rock. and emilie i'm on this page cuz' i wanted to see some pathetic responses saying how much they related to the song and i decided to put my $0.02 into the argument. and i will tell you who my favorite band is. angel dust, a very talented underground heavy metal group who also get no recognition. yeah the little tool kid you've probably never heard of them since the only heavy metal you probably know is tool and you'd probably never heard them before schism came out.

IT STARTS WITH ONE!!!!!!!!!! not love WTF how do u get love, it would sound good if they said that but NO its not what it says, now what I think it means

I think its saying (besides that nothing matters in the end) about how someone loved someone so much to make them happy they changed themselves and the person like the changed them and they tried so hard, but the person dumped them and so now they are saying "not that you knew me back then" cause they didnt know them

....And also, what the hell is up with them being played on POP stations, with Backstreet boys and NSync and Britney Spears? How can they be compared to LP, who has absolutly beautiful lyrics full of raw emotion? And their lyrics are all about bubblegummy pop shit! GAH!.....

well let's see, beautiful lyrics full of raw emotion? hahahahah, too bad its just manufactured meaningless shit (which is why they fit in good with backstreet, nsync, etc. and the other 'bubblegummy' pop shit....

i love this song! i liked my best friend for over two years, and no matter what i did, he just wasn't interested in me. it sucked and i was pissed off cuz no matter how hard i tried, he still didn't like me. and this song reminds me of that time.

linkin park rocks! and i've liked them since the beginning. it's so sad that now EVERYONE is like "LINKIN PARK!!! WOOHOO!!!"
