Linkin Park - Blackbirds Lyrics
[Mike Shinoda:]
Drop that
Get up
Take to the streets
Better lock that kid up
Pacing the beat like a beast
Rocking the block on repeat
Speak from the cut like a rush of blood
Paint red on the sleeves of the ones you love
Lay the sick ones down and the bells will ring
Put pennies on the eyes let the dead men sing
[Chester Bennington:]
I shiver and shake the warm air cold
I'm alone on my own
Through my skin and bones
It's harder starting over
Than never to have changed
With blackbirds following me
I'm digging out my grave
They close in, swallowing me
The pain, it comes in waves
I'm getting back what I gave
I sweat through the sheet as daylight fades
As I waste away
It traps me inside mistakes I've made
That's the price I pay
It's harder starting over
Than never to have changed
With blackbirds following me
I'm digging out my grave
They close in, swallowing me
The pain, it comes in waves
I'm getting back what I gave
[Mike Shinoda:]
I drop to the floor like I did before
Stop watching
I'm coughing
I can't be more
What I want and what I need are at constant war
Like a well full of poison a rotten core
The blood goes thin
The fever stings
And I shake from the hell that the habits bring
Lay the sick ones down
The bells will ring
Put pennies on the eyes
Let the dead men sing
[Chester Bennington:]
Blackbirds following me
I'm digging out my grave
They close in, swallowing me
The pain, it comes in waves
I'm getting back what I gave
I'm getting back what I gave
I'm getting back what I gave

Linkin Park Blackbirds Comments
🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿😍😍😍😍😍
sooooo fuckin underrated
how can that be real
i shivered just now
This song is simply perfect.
É isso aí
Get chills from this song every time, especially when Mike says "let the dead man sing"
“let the dead man sing”
-Mike Shinoda.
more true than he realized.
It was all planed since years..
"I drop to the floor like I did before?"
"Stop, watching I'm coughing..." Something like bleed it out connection maybe?
Because Mike says
In bleed it out
"Find a new place to hang this noose , string me up from atop these roofs, knot it tight so I won't get loose"
*_IM NOT TRYING TO MAKE ANYONE DEPRESSED , DOWN OR ANYTHING THIS IS JUST A CONNECTION_*
Yikes😬😬😬😬😬😬
Why is this song not available on any streaming service?
Who else is listening to this song in 1.25x speed?
You thought I was going to say a year, didn't you?
Sound like a combo of Waiting for the end and what i've done
Do listen to i'm paralyzed by NF 💜
Putting pennies on the eyes is a ritual... whats d context of this line in here?
Pure nostalgia 😔 ppl will disappoint uh.. what we gotta do is hold ourselves accept the reality nd jus keep walking... i kno its hard bt this is d only option trust urself nd love yourself 😊💜
To the ppl who lost sm precious ppl in their life or their love stay strong ♥️
IM HIR FOR BANG CHAN 💖
So much soothing
rap part was just as dark as the rest of the song...still love it
It's harder starting over that never have changed best line
Here because of my dad. Ever since i was a kid i knew linkin park thanks to him. Up until now he still playing it over and over. 💛💛
literally this song is so undergroung that true fans know
««K²²OH"__ÆNÐ136MÄƪT8^¥^™»»®`°/&🐦🌀🌲✔(🛡😬🉑))🌁³
Every single song, was a warning.. but nobody has listened.
I miss him so bad 💔
Are there any orher songs i do not know?
Linkin Park - Primo
I know people might say "lol I'm 14 and this is deep" but in all reality this song really describes what I do and I relate to it 100% this is the first song I've ever felt this way about it's actually really stunning and it tougs at my heartstrings.
The best song.
"With blackbirds follow me"
SR_71 reference?
"With every mistake I dig this hole through my skin and bones"
This hit hard
I'm glad I knew for this wayyy before Chester's incident. Also, I'm glad that the bandwagon of fans that came after that didn't stumble across this. Makes me feel proud of being a long-time LP fan. Cheers
Such a dark song sung by an angel it seems #ripchester
Why cant I find this on spotify O.o
Major Atokal I was confused too, that’s why I’m back here 🤣
Thanks LP and Chester, I made my way out of depression. I was a lowlife with low self esteem. Your songs kept my soul intact.
I made it but you didn't is the saddest part though.
Love this song!!😍😍
I had a suicide attempt today. I listened to this song while cutting my hand...
Hey come on dont do that again
You are stronger
Why is this not on spotify
Too dark for any album?
When ever i listen to it..........i rebound
Seni sevmeme sebep olan kisiyi hala seviyorum :)
Truth is, he really did out his grave. He always spoke - sang the truth. RIP Chester
In 2019 blackbirds have the other sense about Chester. Am I alone here?
Let the dead man sing💔
Why this song isn't on lp's channel?
I hate that I’m still in denial over Chester..
underrated.
We miss you Chester.
My first linkin park song i ever heard when i was in 5th class(grade) like when i was 10 years old now i'm almost 20 years old still listening this song. gives me chills everytime i listen this song RIP chester. you made our childhood great, and made it easier for us when we're feeling low. you're a legend.
I don't know what to do but I fight back... How I don't know
Hate these pretty girl s been stupid searching for emotional support from them.. I know I can do it
The rhythm yeah
It's a shame his depression took him, his wife confirmed he was mentally sick. We won't forget you Chester, may you sing in peace where ever you are.
Wow I forgot about this song. It’s still amazing!
There are so many LP songs I thought I didn't know but then realized I actually heard them before...
So many great songs...
dont talk with me and call yourself linkin park fan if you out idea what this shit is...
Let the dead man sing
#ripchester
I like how obscure this song is, YouTube is the only place I've been able to find it. I kinda wish it were on Spotify, but I love this song so much, I'd go to any length to listen to it
It reminds me of what I've done and Valentine's Day
Дрозды
Hands down my favorite song, when a song consistently gives you goosebumps even when it’s being repeated for the last hour. Chester... god damnit dude
This is the most darkest linkin park song and also really creepy......
Feelings: love, miss, loving more, missing much more...... repeat
wtf did this even in any album?
This Song in sadly so underrated, why does nobody know it?
Because it wasn't really announced or anything like that. It's an underground song and finding out about them or even hearing about them is so rare. I wish I heard this song a long time ago man because I agree, it's an amazing song and it's underrated because it's underground.
@Roll I dont even think it was umderground... wasnt this first released on some mobile game linkin park was associated with?
@VII III if it was, I have no idea. I just know this is on an underground album.
"Let the dead man sing"
2019 august?
I don't know when was the last time I listened to this. Thank You random YouTube recommendations. I literally had forgotten about this gem
Is there a high quality version of this or is this the only version that exists?
💔💔💔💔😢😭😭😭
I know this blackbirds. Yesterday I saw before also. I can read everything.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DbrOmFN9s0
His true masterpiece... 😢
One of the most underrated songs.
Back here tonight 😭
"I Shiver and shake the warm air Cold I'm alone on my own" Fuck it hurts
2 fucking years, miss u Chester ❤️
I was browsing through my songs in the morning, and as soon as I saw this song, the tune got stuck in my head, so I started playing it... My brother exlaims - Hey, you remembered Chester's anniversary! I'm like "Wha... Shit!"
skin and bone.... thats all left
Miss chester
"Let the dead man sing"
Underrated.
7000th like!
Me encanta
im guessing this was supposed to be in minutes to midnight but it didnt make it. chester's voice here and the instrumental progression sounds exactly like a song they'd write during the making of MTM
Pretty sure this song would be even less known If Chester wouldn't have passed away [RIP my man ❤️].
Because all the people were looking Songs Up and stuff. But i'm glad more people found this Song by now. It May be really dark from a Lyrics Point of View but damn this Song Sounds beautiful
Its a fucking injustice that this song is not on spotify.
I miss Chester
My favorite
Masterpiece, speechless
Those guyz who unliked this song... U guyz don't deserve to scroll LP's page... Fck u guyz... Fck u...
You gave us treasure of music thanks chester❤❤❤
Wish you didn't chose that route i understand though. You and mike helped me out with break ups my parents divorce. My dog dying. I grew up listening to you guys. Wish i went to concerts. Rest in easy Chester no more pain brother i hope you found peace and rocking in heaven.
Am i only one who cry when listen this song??
I'm digging out my grave...
The pain it comes in waves .
Yoooo 2019???
The dead man sings 💔
Miss you chester 😢
Like everytime I hear I always get these goosebumps!
#depressedsoul i am
Good to see ppl aree still listening to this.
I shiver and shake the warm air cold
I'm alone on my own
In every mistake I dig this hole
Through my skin and bones
It's harder starting over
Than never to have changed
With Blackbirds following me
I'm digging out my grave
They close in, swallowing me
The pain, it comes in waves
I'm getting back what I gave
I sweat through the sheet as daylight fades
As I waste away
It traps me inside mistakes I've made
That's the price I pay
It's harder starting over
Than never to have changed
With Blackbirds following me
I'm digging out my grave
They close in, swallowing me
The pain, it comes in waves
I'm getting back what I gave
I drop to the floor like I did before
Stop watching
I'm coughing
I can't be more
What I want and what I need are at constant war
Like a well full of poison
a rotten core
The blood goes thin
the fever stings
And I shake from the hell that the habits bring
Let the sick ones down
the bells will ring
Put pennies on the eyes
let the dead men sing
With Blackbirds following me
I'm digging out my grave
They close in, swallowing me
The pain, it comes in waves
I'm getting back what I gave
I'm getting back what I gave
I'm getting back what I gave
Reminds me of BMTH - Sleepwalking in soft
Only a few will understand the whole song
you wont get the exact meaning unless yer suffering from the same illness.
