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
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

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

It doesn't even matter
I had to fall

It doesn't even matter

Oh Metallican41 dont get me started on you, you obviously do not listen to music's lyrics because LP write very emotional deep shit, and they have great voices.And dont even compare me to a damn little preppy britney fan. because i have enough people saying im not a true rock fan because i dont dress goth.And by the way you dont come on the site to diss artist you come on here to support them. you dont see me dissing metallica even though i do not care for them i dont put them down. And if LP are such horrible artists, why are they millionares? making more money in one year than you will ever make? So shut the fuck up and keep your negative comments to yourself.

Hey, I'm not exactly a Linkin Park fan... but since when is the point of this site to trash everyone's taste in music? I'm sorry we all can't have the same preferences in music as you, Metallican41.

I'm not really a big Linkin Park fan myself, but I must say that this song rocks! Another thing with the long comments. We don't need to reveal our personal lives to people we don't know. Keep it short. ANd one more thing, I am sorry everyone can't have the same musical preferences, Metallican41. Go listen to your "music" ( or whatever you call it). Don't diss out everyone elses music.

well Amanda07....READ SOME FUCKING POETRY!!!!!!!! Cause if you had the slightest bit of culture, you'd see right through this bullshit. And by the way...I don't dress goth, or listen to death metal...I listen to EVERY style of music. From Classical and Jazz to punk and metal, so give me this shit about "my preference in music". My preference in music is MUSIC. That's it. And Amanda07...I would not mind one bit if you dissed out Metallica. Perhaps I went a little out of it with the "fuck all linkin park fans"...But I think this site should be for ALL comments....even negative ones...I don't think of this as an arguement its more of a debate. I like to see other peooples' opinions and I'm just voicing mine.

Um ok, the lyrics to this song are definitely "it starts with ONE thing I don't know why" not love. Anyway...

I think this song is about a relationship. It makes me think of my parents actually because this song perfectly describes how my mom must feel... It's about how you try to hard to make that person happy, do everything you can but it still doesn't work. You've done everything you can, pushed as hard as you can go, but in the end it didnt' even matter, everything still just fell apart. I think it's pretty straight-forward. Awesome song, maybe my favorite of LinkinPark's.

All of linkin park's music is utterly trite, devoid of meaning, and simply processed by corporations to target those angsty teens. If you think that the above song means ANYTHING at all, then you are greatly mistaken. It's nothing. It's shit.

That's pop for you.

And don't say LP isn't pop. Don't think you're cool because you listen to the nu-metal and you're angsty and you wear the same god damned clothes every day.

Listen to some real music sometime, open up your mind. Don't just listen to whatever the radio plays, under the assumption that it's God's Gold-Plated Shit.

I have a pretty good feeling that this song is about the world we live on and all of the abuse it takes from the people who live on it (US)

For Example in the song when it says "It starts with one..." well, that can mean a lot of things; One human, one disaster, etc.

"Watch the time go right out the window..." could imply that the world has turned cold (not tempauture) with pollution, plauge, war, etc. and nobody really took the time to enjoy what was around them while they still can.

There are many more examples. Watch the video, listen to the lyrics carefully and you'll see that there is more to the song than most people think. And whoever thinks the song is about a torn relationshp than I advise you to expand your mind. Maybe the official song meaning of the song is (god forbid) about a torn relationship, but Linkin Park is not your typical band. They want you to use your minds and make of their songs whatever you want.

Everybody else seems to have an opinion about this song that is either loud, personal, or some form of a rant. (by the way, Metallican41, if you hate LP so much, why the hell do you spend so much time trying to convince their fans that the group sucks? If you have an honest opinion that involves something more meaningful than "fuck LP fans in their stupid little assholes" then state one. Otherwise, shut the fuck up and get the fuck out. That goes for the rest of those who only come to this address to shout obscenities and epithets at the fans)
Ok, that feels better.
1. I'm a fan
2. This song is LP's second best effort, in my opinion "My December" is their best song
3. LP in no way panders to "teenie boppers" Their music is promoted and played by alt-rock stations and pop-stations around the country. So what if they show up on MTV once in a while? Can you honestly say that if you were put in the same position (you are in a band, you make music, it gets overplayed, you make lots of money because of this) that you wouldn't try and spread your music around some, make a few guest appearances on TRL or some other similarly crappy show. I get tired of people talking about bands that become popular as "sell outs". Just a note, music is a business too, and one of the goals is, get this, SELLING!

Ok thegreenguetzal, the only reason you are saying all that crap about LP is because you are jealous that they have more talent than you ever will. You and Metallican are probably nothing more than bums on the street who wouldn't know good music if they heard it. Ooo, Metallica is so talented. They USED to be, they are not anymore. Lars can't keep his freeking mouth shut and James is just a stupid drunk. If both of you hate LP then shut the hell up and don't comment on them. It's not like any of you have anything contributing to say to begin with. Just leave us (the people with good taste in music) the hell alone, damn losers.

Linkin Park Is truly Great
But in the end is out of date
Still love the song
dont get me wrong
But overplaying was it's fate

Linkin park is Second best
TJT above the rest
You think I'm wrong
But song for song
TJT you can't Detest

Oh, And wait... Just one more thing
The Best Vid is by far Crawling
By the end of the day
In the end is so gay
It looks so fake when it's playing

Linkin Park is truly great
And in the end is not out of date
We all love the song
Who doesn't is wrong
And the song doesn't have a fate

Linkin Park is not even second best
Tool rises above the rest
If you think I'm wrong
Then you can suck my dong
But In The End you can't Detest

Wait there's one more thing
The best vid is definitely not Crawling
True the chick in there is really hot
But it's not In the End

Thanks for wrecking my work. I'm eternally in your debt.
I didn't say I didn't like In The End, I said It was overplayed. If your too blind to realize that its played 20 times a day on the radio, maybe you should get your head out of your [rear-end] and wake up and smell the coffee.


I've said it again, and that will be all.
The Juliana Theory is above you all.

Oh - And 'toolapc,' about LP's Talent , It isn't that great. Their Music is truly awesome, but half of it is just the studio. Have you heard them live? Obviously not If you think so much about them.

It maybe overplayef, but that's MTV's fault, not the band's. I think you are the blind one though if you think LP has no talent, because the truth is a lot of people think differently, myself included.

Um... Okay.
First of all - it's not MTV's fault. I'm not even subscribed to MTV. Much plays it alot, but i dont watch muchmusic much either. Its played on the radio way too much across Canada, america, and who knows where else. Not as much anymore as it used to, which is why i dont hate the song anymore. Its a great song. I just said it was overplayed. And somehow, that got screwed around in your head and now you seem to think that I think it sucks. Linkin Park has some of the best music I've ever heard, But that doesn't make them a good band.
Secondly, have you heard them live? Anyone can sing these days, cause the studio can change and format your voice however you want. On a stage live, there is no studio mixers. Thats the idea of 'live' music. And when they suck live, then it demonstrates that they aren't as talented as most people think. I mean, they can play their instruments well, and they have the heart and popularity to be that famous, but that doesn't mean he can sing! And when you see people like britney spears sing live, they aren't even singing live! They're lip-sync-ing the words as they dance. Pretty nice sixty dollar concert. The point is, If they can't sing live, they can't sing.

Just thought I'd clarify that. Maybe you should read it a few more times so you know what I said before you make up your stories. Thanks for your time, and that will be all.

Juliana Theory All The Way!
