Song of the Moment LVIII: Linkin Park’s “In the End”

This post is a part of 14 Days of The Deranged Writer (2024).


3 days left before December 5, my birthday, and I’m back to having the birthday blues with a mix of frustration. Why? Normally I explain the cause of melancholy and frustration here on The Diary, but tonight I don’t feel like explaining at all. All I can tell is that I’m sad and frustrated and I think I will bring those feelings to my birthday itself. This is hopeless.

Speaking of hopeless, let me share my Song of the Moment: the perfect Linkin Park song about hopelessness and the band’s signature song, “In the End”.

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

Linkin Park’s “In the End”

3 days left before my birthday, and I feel like this…

Song of the Moment L: Linkin Park’s “Waiting for the End”

As I mentioned, I’m listening to all Linkin Park albums in chronological order. I’m done with the band’s 3rd studio album Minutes to Midnight last Thursday. Now I’m listening to their 4th studio album A Thousand Suns, and once again they are singing what I’m feeling – this time with “Waiting for the End”.

So, I’m picking up the pieces now where to begin
The hardest part of ending is starting again

Song of the Moment XLIX: Linkin Park’s “Somewhere I Belong”

Last month, I decided to listen to only 1 favorite band on Spotify indefinitely: Linkin Park. And this week I will listen to all their albums chronologically.

Tonight, while I was at my favorite spot Satchmi, I listened to the entirety of Linkin Park’s magnum opus Hybrid Theory and several tracks of the remix album Reanimation. I finished the latter while I was on my way home. After coming home, I started listening to the 2nd studio album Meteora, and after “Somewhere I Belong” I had to pause and write this post. Why? The song’s chorus screams what I’m feeling right now.

I wanna heal, I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long
(Erase all the pain ’til it’s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like I’m close to something real
I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
