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

Not that you knew me back then

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

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

It doesn't even matter
I had to fall

It doesn't even matter

This song makes me think of how God views the world, over the course of time people have begun to stop believing in an "all powerful one". After the death of Christ he watched religion crumble slowly over time. He tried so hard to create a perfect world and got real far, but in the end it never mattered because religion is falling apart. and with all the Holy Wars and anti-religous movements over time, God is suprised that religion got so far, but yet in the end it won't matter.
Theres alot more explaining to the lyrics to be done by me but I think you get the general idea

I think this song could be greared in many directions. It could be talkin about a boy/girl relationship, or it could be even talking about God. Personally, this song makes me think of how you cant get through life on your own, and how if you dont have God, that in the end it doesnt even matter. Jesus can give you an INCREDIBLE sense of peace and TRUE love. I dont know if these guys are Christians, but thats what the song means to me.

The whole point of the video being pointless is that the song is like the Nihilism anthem. (Nihilism - a way of life that says that nothing matters, a constant state of apathy) no matter what you did or what happened, it doesn't matter.... ]:>

to me it means that u 'try so hard' to keep a relationship going steady and yet it's useless because 'in the end it doesn't even matter'
i felt this way when i broke up with my last bf...............

To me, it means you give everything to someone, put up with their crap, and when the relationship ends (in the end) it doesnt matter! (it starts with love) It is like an epiphany, when the relationship ends, you think back, and nothing you did made anything any better. And, until you 'fall to lose it all' you dont realize what was going on in your life. Kinda like when you break up with someone and think, 'what was i thinking?'

I tend to 'love' bands that write their own music, because you love them, so the music means more to you cuz it means more to them.....But who doesnt like a good song regardless of who wrote it? I have a friend who is a songwriter, and she definately isnt in a suit sitting around a table. The songs she writes are from 'her' heart, she just isnt lucky enough to be famous and sing her own songs......maybe some day, but it isnt always a bunch of suits sitting around writing songs. People who write songs, sell their songs to make a living, and it is like any other art! Being a songwriter you have to be inspired. Maybe not the britney spears pop crap, but many people do write from their hearts. And not everyone has a beautiful voice, to sing their own songs!!!!

To me this song is about life itself. U do all this shit to make it worthwhile, to make it sucessful...and then u look back and ur like...u know wut? there was no point. Like last year I asked my parents if we could move because I was going through some really ahrd times in my old city. So we did...and i look back on it and wonder y...because my life is still shit...move or not. Except now that we've moved i know NO1 so the shittiness is just amplified. In the end...it didnt matter....i just think every teen is destined for confusing, awful, shitty adolescence. It really sux...but having music like Linkin Park around honestly makes it better.

am I the only person who realizes these guys sound like the fucking backstreet boys with a guitar in the chorus? seriously, if you leave out the chorus they sound exactlying backstreet boys or n'suck...even the vocals sound like them...whoever started calling these guys a rock band in the first place should be shot, cause they're just another band the studios are using to make money off of idiots who cant recognize that these guys have no talent at all.

I'm not a big LP fan, but this song fucking rocks!! It reminds me of my relationship with my dad. We don't get along very well, and this song just says everything about it.

This song is my favorite Linkin Park song. Even though I have Hybrid Theory and I generally like every single song on the cd, I generally like this one out of them all. I can't wait to hear what the remix version of Hybrid Theory sounds like.

man feels good to know I'm not the only one...I dont think they're sellouts though...to sell out you had to have been good in the first place, and I think these guys were always pop...excepts One Step Closer, but that was just to get them a rock fan base...if you notice ever since they first came out there singles have been getting more and more poppy...by the way, another Nu Metal bands who suck include Adema who just ripped off KoRn who I believe wont have anything to do with them now...just wanted to say that...oh and to all those ppl who will diss me for going on here and posting stuff on music I hate, I had 5 free mins and felt like venting..that's about all I have to say

Adema ripped off KoRn? How? The lead singer of Adema is Jonathan Davis younger step brother.
