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.

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

For 'In Pieces', it kinda sounded like 'Doubt in your faith'. But I might be wrong.

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 :lol:

Hi Man,
You did a great job job figuring it all out.:thumbsup:

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

Good job! But here are some corrections from the CD booklet. I only included the lines that I corrected.



Given Up

Another day’s been laid to waste in my disgrace

I’m sick of living is there nothing you can say? (it sounds much more like feeling - but that's what the booklet says, however it could be wrong, see below)

(Although it is perfectly clear that the lyrics in the last verse go ¨and no one cares¨ - in the booklet it says that the lyrics are ¨and you don't care¨)

Leave out all the rest

I’ve shared what I made

Bleed It Out

Bled myself out and no-one cares


I bleedit out go stop the show
Choppy words and a sloppy flow
Shotgun opera lock and load
Candy paint on his brand new hearse
Can't contain him he knows he works
I won't lie
So why try ignoring him

I’ll make you face this
I pull myself apart

What I’ve Done

While I've I cleaned this slate

Hands Held High

Lightweights step it aside when we come in
Words on loose leaf sheet complete coming
I jump in my mind and summon the rhyme im dumping
Risk something, take back what’s yours
And cashing a cheque asking you to have some compassion
And have some respect

On the back he hand wrote a quote inside
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay

No More Sorrow

(Your campaing's a disguise -again it's obvious he says crusade, but the booklet says campaign)

THIEVES AND HYPOCRITES!

Valentine’s Day

And blew away as I collapsed
And held the darkness over day

Cos my path has lost direction

In Pieces

Doubt in your faith

The Little Things Give You Away

Water grey

Hope decays

Ive amended the first post so its correct to what the booklet says (im in australia, got the cd early, last night in fact) what ive changed is in caps lock

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 IVE TAKEN my beating
I’ve shared what I MADE
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
BLED myself out and no-one cares
Dug the trench out
Laid down there with a shovel up out of reach somewhere

I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away

Here we go stop the show
CHOPPY WORDS and a sloppy flow
Shotgun OPERA lock AND load
Cock it back and then watch it go
Mama help me I’ve been cursed
Death is rolling in every verse
Candy PAINT on his brand new hearse
Cant contain HIM HE knows he works
Fuck this hurts
I wONT LIE, 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 HIM?
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 THIS
I PULL MYSELF APART
I’ll make you face this

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

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 AFTER day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

In this farewell, there’s no blood, there’s no alibi

So let mercy come and wash away

No More Sorrow

Are you lost in your lies?
Do you tell yourself *I don’t realise*
Your CAMPAIGNS 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

THIEVES AND HYPOCRITES

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 BLEW Away as I collapsed
So cold
A black wind took them away
From sight
AND HELD 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
CAUSE MY PATH HAD LOST DIRECTION/SOMEHOW
A BLACK WIND TOOK YOU AWAY/FROM SIGHT
AND HELD 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

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
Doubt IN your faith
What you BUILD
You lay to waste
There’s truth in your lies
Doubt IN 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 GREY
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

HOPE DECAYS, 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.
