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)

I tried so hard

I had to fall

But in the end
It doesn't even matter

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

There's only one thing you should know

I've put my trust in you

Hey - ToolAPC - I was just reading your comments that you've posted. 24 comments - maybe six were about a song and your opinion. Thats fine - to each his own opinion.
Another maybe 12 were just insulting and offending, and the rest were telling people to shut up if they didn't have anything nice to say. A Bit condradictory don't you think? If all your gonna do is insult people and whine about other people's opinions (not to mention misinterpret them) them I would suggest you either learn to say something nice or worthwhile, or leave us alone - because we didn't register to be insulted and shot down. That will be all.

As always - TJT rocks

No problem. Anyway, I thought the crawling video was a lot better because It meant something. In the end is designed to look cool, and it doesn't to me because its so obvious that their just people pasted onto a computer animated background. If this was their goal, they should have made it look like less of a flaw. The crawling video told a story - in a way. You got the point. The girl's life sucked, and she needed something to look up to so she reformed and began a new life. LP's best video - without a doubt

Thank you for that beautiful thought. I said the same thing in five times as much words without using as much descriptive four and five letter words - but thanks.

I think this song really has meaning that fare extends the lyrics of the song (whcih are equally good) Listen to those last notes of the song, and you'll understand what he was talking about. They notes build and build bexomong ever more hopeful, but rather than reaching that final note it drops...it's an awkward note, lonely, sad and unexpected. That's why it's so full of heart. For me it's like the singer got hurt by a girl who gave him meaning, because he loved her. And he did what he could for her, he sacraficed, he fought for her, but in the end she left him. Despite how good he had been to her, he was almost. And no matter how hard he tried to make her happy, or how hard he fought to make the realtionship work in the end it was pointless because it failed.
And now here he is, and all he's learned it that by falling in love he lost everything.
Pretty sad song. So full of anger and hurt.

Well, if you dislike linkin park because they're popular then you're obviously dumber than I thought.

I think if the lead singer dude would stop screaming, he has a really nice voice.
I'm personally not into all the screaming stuff....
and I think the lyrics to this are a little dumb.
Sorry. But we're all entitled to our own opinions right?

This is exactly what I'm talking about. If you can't say anything that isn't offending or insulting, SCREW OFF. We don't need to hear you. You could just stick with, "I Love LP. They rock and so does In The End" But no.You have to say something like, "In the end rocks. If you don't think so you're a faggot. I Love the video too. It is so ****ing Awesome! You All Suck. Go cry in the Corner"

Thanks for making our day. Get Lost.

OK... Well What a riot goin on... Listen... Isn't this place supposed to be about we people think the song means? The webpage is called www.argue-about-wheather-or-not-you-like-the-band-or-song.com. Honestly this is a little rediculous... I've only seen a few comment on what people thought the song ment... If u listen to he song good enough, the first verse and the main chorus song like it having to do w/ God and the end of the world... Just listen your self

It starts with love
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


My friend called me up after hearing this song on the radio and said, "Who Sings In the End?" And i said " Linkin Park" And she like "Are they a Christian band?" i was like "No," Shes like "would have fooled me" right then it clicked how how much they actually sonded Christian in that first Verse... I dont wanna start Any thing like what was goin on in the system of a down "chop suey" lyric room... I'm just stating my oppinion...

NtoTheDark why don't you just give it up already?! I'll say whatever I want and there is nothing you can do about it, so if anything you are the one who needs to "screw off." Hey I'm not gonna say what you want me to say, and if you don't like what I say then ignore or just never reply again. It's pretty amusing though how you try to make yourself look all intimidating with those words of yours, but you don't intimidate me. I'll say what I want to say and if you can't handle it, stop wasting everyone else's time and go cry to your mommy because she's probably the only one who cares.

I think this song is not so much about his life but a particular relationship, which no matter how hard he worked at the relationship it really didnt matter now cause its all over. And btw chop suey isnt about satan or anything listen to the lyrics closer you'll get em

wirm, Chop Suey is about God. Listen to the lyrics, watch the video, read the lyrics...each ay is the way you can tell. Anyhow, this song to me is about a relationship with a person he loved but no matter how hard he tried, it failed

i dont understant you guys saying that this is worst video without meaning etc.
the song and video are obviously about end of the world (the beginning of the video shows some sort of old hebrew letters..),maybe revelation (in bible) which came to reality or alien invasion on earth..then again,in the end of the song,everything seems to be restoring,that shows that human race will and can survive great wars and disasters..then again,you can interpret this song the way you like..for example,you lost all your friends and life,you lost your girlfriend,and also it is a reminder,when you think your life is going well...in the end it doesn't even matter
