there are so many that really impacted me lyrically but i will have to go with what I've done such a broad meaning and easy to relate and very heartfelt lyrics that touched me so deeply. i still remember the first time i heard it... it was so breath taking
For me, there was one song that impacted me the most. One song that changed my life forever. One song that totally made me the person I am today. One song that changed my attitude towards others and helped me get over my problems. One song that proved that LP are indeed make beautiful songs. Unicorns and Lollipops
Burning in the Skies I lost my father 2 months after the release of ATS. And I feel that I cannot describe better how I feel about his death with words. It's like every fucking line of BITS is written about me and him.
Valentine's Day and Shadow of the Day. 2007 was a really rough year for me and those songs were so so helpful. MTM isn't exactly my favorite LP album but it might be the one that I hold closest to my heart. Burning in the Skies and Waiting For the End also had an impact on me. Oh, and Iridescent!
Blackbirds. Anybody who has been through that shit or has been close to anyone who has, it has an impact on you.
I'm not sure why, but I've always felt a special connection to Lying From You. That song gets me every time.
What I've Done, What We Don't Know, Numb and Burn It Down have all impacted me lyrically, the first two I wrote being more so.
I feel the same way, NoN Anyway, the song that has impacted me the most is probably Nobody's Listening. Kinda similar to No One's There by Korn, I feel as if these lyrics explain how I feel sometimes. Try to give you warning But everyone ignores me (Told you everything loud and clear) But nobody's listening Call to you so clearly But you don't want to hear me (Told you everything loud and clear) But nobody's listening
Dang, I've always loved OSC just because but you have a reason and a story, and it was a sad one. I'm glad that it came a long and helped you
Seriously, that would be Numb. I literally sang Numb in my Literature class in college and my classmates were singing along. Today, that would be Iridescent.
Breaking The Habit, for me. That was the first Linkin Park song I ever heard, and it impacted my live massively. You know that magical feeling of when a song overpowers you emotionally...? That was the feeling. The only other songs that spread over me in such an emotional way have been 'Hero of War' by Rise Against and 'Your Hand In Mine' by Explosions In The Sky. Without that song, I wouldn't have bought Meteora, and then the full LP back catalogue and tickets and merch. LP are still my favourite band, and opened the door for me to listen to other bands. This song changed my life forever, and I thank them for that. I can't repay them for that.
Bleed It Out. I was angry that the woman of my dreams had a boyfriend and he was a douche. I was flirting with her until I met him. to her: Fuck this hurts, I won't 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 ignoring him To him: I've opened up these scars I'll make you face this I've pulled myself so far I'll make you, face, this, now!!!!
