Qwerty Lyrics

Wow, good job at transcribing the lyrics because I wouldn't even know where to start. Thanks a lot. This song is some major ownage.

 

I think the first 2 lines are:

I didn't think that I had a debt to pay
'Til it came to take what I had left away

 

Yeah, that's what I think it is aswell.

 

I personally think the lyrics are very good but the delivery of them is excellent in my opinion (Mike especially and the way Chester alternates in the chorus). I think that along with the music really make the song. It's one of my favorite LP songs to date and if the new album lives up to this then I will be very pleased. Granted the lyrics are not as good as these:

"There's a place so dark, you can't see the end
Skies cock back and shock that which can't defend
The rain then sends dripping an acidic question
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes shut, looking through the rust
And rot and dust, a spot of light floods the floor
And pours over the rusted world of pretend
And the eyes ease open and it's dark again

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core, I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care?

In the memory, you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

Moving all around, screaming of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
The wheels go 'round and the sunset creeps
Behind street lamps chainlink and concrete
A little piece of paper with a picture drawn
Floats on down the street 'til the wind is gone
The memory now is like the picture was then
When the paper's crumpled up, it can't be perfect again"

but then again these are some of the best lyrics I've heard

Anyways, props to Linkin Park for creating an awesome song and mad props to everyone who deciphered these lyrics although I believe the part in the chorus when Chester sings very fast is near indecipherable. I think we will have to wait for the lyric booklet in the CD for that one. Haha. Anyways, great job guys.

 

QWERTY

I love this song not only liracally, but emotionaly 2. i think this song has such a good beat and rythem that you fell like you wanna be inside it.
I also waited so long for this album 2 come out that even if it was a suky song-which it was not-it wont sound bad at all.

 

i really like how mike has grown as an artist on this song. his ryming has stedily grown over the years.

 

Well, to be quite honest, he rapped pretty well during the Xero and Hybrid Theory days.

 

I've always wondered why Mike insists he's matured lyrically, when his finest stuff, in my opinion, was before Hybrid Theory was released.

 

damn you guys put down meteora a lot. it was a great album imo. a lot of lp fans are always cynical.

 

It's because it could have been so much better.

 

They need to improve their vocabulary.

 

In the bridge I can barely make it out but my best stab at the first part would be:

You're faking, you're mistaken
And continue to the bottom of your soul

Instead of:

You're faking, you're mistaken
If you think I'm taking what's pouring out your soul

But yeh...that's the harderst part to hear...I guess someone will have to ask Chaz. Haha.

 

This song rocks, can play it it my guitar

 

"Like the pure thoughts you stole, it's going to swallow you whole"

Sounds like he says, "Like the pure heart you swallow, 'til you swallowed it whole" instead.

 

Is it okay if i post up what i might think the lyrics are to the song?

Um okay this is what i came up with while listening to it, i dont know if its right or not but i tried Chesters part was kinda hard but thats the closest i got to it


Qwerty - Linkin Park


This is a new song

Whhhaaatttt sup!

Yeah

You feel That?!

I didnt think that i had a debt to pay
til they came to take what i had left away
you said you would put me to the test today
but i remember you saying that yesterday
there was a time when your mind wasnt outta control
every memory and confession pouring out of your soul
like a pill you couldnt swallow so it swallowed you whole
another lie hard to follow it followed you home
and like that
(broken down,a victim of your crime)
so why you so outta control
every memory and confession pouring out of your soul
and like that
(Broken down, a victim of your)


Lies
you hide behind
lies
you dont know why
you've crossed the line
wrapped up inside your
lies
you hide behind
lies
your lost inside that cold disguise
behind your lies


I dont know what i thought i might say
seems like we would never talk the right way
every other minute i fought for my place
and drop without a pay i thought you might say
so im guessing that you probably know
when you insides hollow then you oughta be cold
like a pill hard to swallow so it swallowed you whole
another lie hard to follow it followed you home
and like that
(Broken down, a victim of your)



Lies
you hide behind
lies
you dont know why
you've crossed the line
wrapped up inside your
lies
you hide behind
lies
your lost inside that cold disguise
behind your lies


Your faken your mistaken
if you think that you can claim another soul
forsaken
what we drained way
all the lies that wanna power up your soul
broken down a victim of your
faken your mistaken
if your think that you can claim another soul
broken down a victim of your lies


Lies
you hide behind
lies
you dont know why
you hide behind
lies
you dont know why
you hide behind
lies
you dont know why
you hide behind
wrapped up inside your

Lies
you hide behind
lies
you dont know why
you've crossed the line
wrapped up inside your
lies
you hide behind
lies
your lost inside that cold disguise
behind your lies

 

wow that song is awesome!! i'm so glad that they've gotten heavier. and about the lyrics, that sounds pretty close to me. omg i can't wait to hear what the rest of the album sounds like!!

 

Hey this song is awesome. A good change on their type...
Btw i hear a "pl" too when chester says broken down, a victim of you crime (Plight?!?!)

 

Until they came to take what I had left away

Until they came to take all what I had left away.
