Well I thought I would have a go at the lyrics and see how close I am when I get the official booklet, hope you appreciate the effort I put into this! Given Up Wake in a sweat again This day’s been laid to waste in my disgrace Stuck in my head again Feels like I’ll never leave this place There’s no escape I’m my own worst enemy I’ve given up I’m sick of feeling is there nothing you can say? Take this all away I’m suffocating Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me? I don’t know what to take Thought I was focused but I’m scared I’m not prepared I hyper ventilate Looking for help somehow somewhere And no-one cares I’m my own worst enemy I’ve given up I’m sick of feeling is there nothing you can say? Take this all away I’m suffocating Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me? Put me out of my misery Put me out of my misery Put me out of my Put me out of my fucking misery! I’ve given up I’m sick of feeling is there nothing you can say? Take this all away I’m suffocating Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me? Leave Out All The Rest I dreamed I was missing, you were so scared But no one would listen, cos no one else cared After my dreaming, I woke with this fear What am I leaving, when im done here? So if you’re asking me I want you to know When my time comes, forget the wrong that I’ve done Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed Don’t resent me, when you’re feeling empty Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest Leave out all the rest Don’t be afraid of taking my beating I’ve shared what I fear I’m strong on the surface, not all the way through I’ve never been perfect, but neither have you When my time comes, forget the wrong that I’ve done Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed Don’t resent me, when you’re feeling empty Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest Forgetting all the hurt inside you’ve learned to hide so well Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself I can’t be who you are When my time comes, forget the wrong that I’ve done Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed Don’t resent me, when you’re feeling empty Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest Forgetting all the hurt inside you’ve learned to hide so well Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself I cant be who you are Bleed It Out Hey here we go for the hundredth time Hand grenade pins in every line Throw em up and let something shine Going out of my fucking mind Filthy mouth no excuse Find a new place to hang this noose String me up from atop these roofs Knot it tight so I wont get loose Truth is you can stop and stare Run myself out and no-one cares Dug the trench out Laid down there with a shovel up out of reach somewhere Yeah someone pour it in Make it a dirt dance floor again Say your prayers and stomp it out When they bring that chorus in I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away Here we go stop the show Chopping boards and a sloppy flow Shotgun I put a lock in load Cock it back and then watch it go Mama help me I’ve been cursed Death is rolling in every verse Candy pain on his brand new hearse Cant contain all me knows he works Fuck this hurts I will not, doesn’t matter how hard I try Half the words don’t mean a thing And I know that I wont be satisfied So why try ignore again? Make it a dirt dance floor again Say your prayers and stomp it out When they bring that chorus in I’ve opened up these scars I’ll make you face us I’ve pulled myself so far I’ll make you face this now Shadow Of The Day I close both locks below the window I close both blinds and turn away Sometimes solutions aren’t so simple Sometimes goodbye’s the only way And the sun will set for you The sun will set for you And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in grey And the sun will set for you In cards and flowers on your window Your friends all plead for you to stay Sometimes beginnings aren’t so simple Sometimes goodbye’s the only way And the sun will set for you The sun will set for you And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in grey And the sun will set for you And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in grey And the sun will set for you What I’ve Done In this farewell, there’s no blood, there’s no alibi Cause I’ve drawn regret from the truth of a thousand lies So let mercy come and wash away What I’ve done I’ll face myself to cross out what I’ve become Erase myself And let go of what I’ve done Put to rest what you thought of me Well I clean this slate With the hands of uncertainty So let mercy come and wash away What I’ve done I’ll face myself to cross out what I’ve become Erase myself And let go of what I’ve done For what I’ve done I start again and whatever pain my come Today this ends I’m forgiving what I’ve done What I’ve done I’ll face myself to cross out what I’ve become Erase myself And let go of what I’ve done Hands Held High Turn my mic up louder I gotta say something Lightweights step to the side when we come in Feel it in your chest as syllables get pumping People on the street to panic and start running Words unloose leave chic complete coming I jumble my mind and summon the rhyme im dumping Healing the blind, I promise to let the sun in Sick of the dark ways we march to the drum And jump when they tell us they want to see jumping Fuck that I want to see some fists pumping Miss something, take back what’s yours Say something you know that they might attack you for Cos im sick of being treated like I had before Like im stupid standing for what im standing for Like this war’s really just a different brand of war Like it doesn’t cater to the rich and abandon the poor Like they understand you in the back of the jet When you cant put gas in your tank These fuckers are laughing their way to the bank And cashing a cheque asking you to have some passion And show some respect For a leader so nervous in an obvious way Stuttering and mumbling for news to replay And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day In their living room laughing, like what did he say? Amen In my living room watching but I am not laughing Cos when it gets tense I know what might happen World is cold and bold men take action Have to react to get blown into fractions Ten years old and something to see Another kid my age drugged under a jeep Taken and bound and found later under a tree I wonder if he thought the next one could be me Do you see the soldiers are out there today To brush the dust from bullet proof vests away Its ironic - at times like this you pray But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday There’s bombs in the buses, bikes, roads Inside your market, your shops, your clothes My dad - he’s got a lot of fear I know But enough pride inside not to let that show My brother had a book he would hold with pride A little red cover with a broken spine On the back he handled a quote inside When the rich wage war it’s the poor that die Meanwhile the leader just talks away Stuttering and mumbling for news to replay And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day Both scared and angry, like what did he say? With his hands held high into a sky so blue The ocean opens up to swallow you No More Sorrow Are you lost in your lies? Do you tell yourself *I don’t realise* Your crusade’s a disguise Replace freedom with fear You trade money for lives I’m aware of what you’ve done No, no more sorrow I’ve paid for your mistakes Your time is borrowed Your time has come to be replaced I see pain, I see need I see liars and thieves Abuse power with greed I had hope, I believed But I’m beginning to think that I’ve been deceived You will pay for what you’ve done No, no more sorrow I’ve paid for your mistakes Your time is borrowed Your time has come to be replaced FACE IT HYPOCRITE No, no more sorrow I’ve paid for your mistakes Your time is borrowed Your time has come to be replaced Your time has come to be erased Valentine’s Day My inside’s all turn to ash So slow And the way as I collapsed So cold But black wind took them away From sight Another darkness over day That night And the clouds above moved closer Looking so dissatisfied But the heartless wind kept blowing I used to be my own protection But not now Cos my mind has lost direction Somehow And the clouds above moved closer Looking so dissatisfied And the ground below grew colder As they put you down inside But the heartless wind kept blowing So now you’re gone and I was wrong I never knew what it was like to be alone ON A VALENTINE’S DAY In Between Let me apologise to begin with Let me apologise for what I’m about to say But trying to be genuine was harder than it seemed And somehow I got caught up in between Let me apologise to begin with Let me apologise for what I’m about to say But trying to be someone else Was harder than it seemed And somehow I got caught up in between Between my pride and my promise Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way Things I want to say to you get lost before they come The only thing worse than one is none Let me apologise to begin with Let me apologise for what I’m about to say But trying to regain your trust Was harder than it seemed And somehow I got caught up in between Between my pride and my promise Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way Things I want to say to you get lost before they come The only thing worse than one is none And I cannot explain to you In anything I say or do or plan Fear is not afraid of you But guilt’s a language you can understand I cannot explain to you In anything I say or do But hope the actions speak the words they can Between my pride and my promise Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way Things I want to say to you get lost before they come The only thing worse than one is none In Pieces Telling me to go But hands begged me to stay Your lips say that you love Your eyes say that you hate There’s truth in your lies Doubting your faith What you built You lay to waste There’s truth in your lies Doubting your faith All I’ve got’s what you didn’t take So I, I won’t be the one, be the one to leave this In pieces And you, you will be alone, alone with all your secrets And regrets Don’t lie You promised me the sky Then tossed me like a stone You wrapped me in your arms And chilled me to the bone There’s truth in your lies Doubting your faith All I’ve got’s what you didn’t take So I, I won’t be the one, be the one to leave this In pieces And you, you will be alone, alone with all your secrets And regrets Don’t lie So I, I won’t be the one, be the one to leave this In pieces And you, you will be alone, alone with all your secrets And regrets Don’t lie The Little Things Give You Away Water came Through the windows Up the stairs Chilling rain Like an ocean Everywhere Don’t wanna reach for me do you? I mean nothing to you The little things give you away And now there will be no mistaking The levees are breaking All you’ve ever wanted was someone to truly look up to you And six feet under water, I do Whole decades, generations disappear Washed away, as a nation simply stares Don’t wanna reach for me do you? I mean nothing to you The little things give you away But now there will be no mistaking The levees are breaking All you’ve ever wanted was someone to truly look up to you And six feet under water, I do And six feet underground now I, I do The little things give you away/ All you’ve ever wanted was someone to truly look up to you.
So I think it's safe to say... Lyrics from Minutes To Midnight kick the asses of the lyrics from Meteora.
The last part in "In Between" starts with 'For my pride' rather than Between. Pretty accurate, million thanks to you.
Fixed "Valentine's Day" Valentine’s Day My insides all turn to ash So slow And the way as I collapsed So cold But black wind took them away From sight Another darkness over day That night And the clouds above moved closer Looking so dissatisfied But the heartless wind kept blowing - blowing I used to be my own protection But not now Cause my path has lost direction Somehow A black wind took you away From sight Another darkness over day That night And the clouds above moved closer Looking so dissatisfied And the ground below grew colder As they put you down inside But the heartless wind kept blowing - blowing So now you’re gone and I was wrong I never knew what it was like to be alone ON A VALENTINE’S DAY (Repeated) I used to be my own protection But not now Cause my mind has lost direction Somehow (2x)
Nice work. The lyrics are tremendously better than the last two albums. I can't wait to actually listen to them!
Hey thanks for the gratitude for some reason the forums froze for me yesterday so I've only just been able to check the response, I must admit in some songs I kinda did 3 lines at a time and tried to remember what I'd heard but I thought I'd put a basis down and then you could modify the imperfections for yourself. And yes MTM lyrics > Meteora lyrics
LMFAO@ those are great lyrics!! Thier so repetative and I think they went a little overboard trying to sound "mature".
I have one correction for the lyrics on 'Leave Out All The Rest' You said: "Don’t be afraid of taking my beating I’ve shared what I fear" It should be: "Don't be afraid of taking my beating, of shit behind me" Sounds a little better and makes a lot more sense. He's telling whoever he is talking to not to be afraid of taking his beatings and not to be afraid of anything bad that happened in his past.

Nice work. I think these are better than both Hybrid Theory and Meteora for the most part. Can't wait to actually hear tyhe songs
Hi Man, You did a great job job figuring it all out. I found some mistakes, though. In Given Up This day’s been laid to waste in my disgrace Should be: Another day has been laid to waste,in my disgrace --------------- Don’t be afraid of taking my beating I’ve shared what I fear I think it sound more like: Don’t be afraid of taking my beating, Of shit that I made In Bleed It Out Here we go stop the show Sounds more like: It goes, stop the show! ----------------------- Candy pain on his brand new hearse Cant contain all me knows he works Fuck this hurts I will not, doesn’t matter how hard I try Sounds to me like: Candy pain on his brand new hearse Cant contaminate me, he knows he works Heck it hurts I won't lie, doesn’t matter how hard I try ------------------------------ So why try ignore again? I think it's: So why try ignore it? and then Hands Held High With his hands held high into a sky so blue Should be just: With hands held high into a sky so blue Valentine’s Day Cos my mind has lost direction Should be: 'Cause my path has lost direction After that it's: But black wind took YOU away In Between At the end: For my pride and my promise For my lies and how the truth gets in the way In Pieces You wrapped me in your arms Should be: You wrapped me in your lies That's All Thanks
