Linkin Park - In The End (Demo) Lyrics
[Chester Bennington:]
It starts with one
[Mike Shinoda:]
And multiplies 'til you can taste the sun
And burned by the sky you try to take it from
Crumbling down, it's so unreal
[Chester Bennington:]
It's so unreal
[Mike Shinoda:]
They're dealing you in to determine your end
And sending you back again, the places you've been
And bending your will 'til it breaks you within
And still they fill their eyes
Fill their eyes
[Mike Shinoda:]
With the twilight through the skylight
And the highlights on a frame of steel
See the brightness of your likeness
As I write this on a pad with the way I feel
[Chester Bennington:]
The way I feel
[Mike Shinoda:]
Hear the screaming in my dreaming
As it's seeming that you've played your part
Like you're heartless, take apart this
In the darkness but I know that I tried so hard
[Chester Bennington:]
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
[Mike Shinoda:]
I've looked down the line
And what's there is not what ought to be
Held back by the battles they fought for me
Calling me to be part of their property
And now I see that I get no chance
[Chester Bennington:]
Get no chance
[Mike Shinoda:]
I get no break
Fakes and snakes quickly lead to mistakes
And as the tightrope within
Slowly starts to thin
I can only hope that they close their eyes
[Chester Bennington:]
Close their eyes
[Mike Shinoda:]
To the twilight through the skylight
And the highlights on a frame of steel
See the brightness of your likeness
As I write this on a pad to the way I feel
[Chester Bennington:]
The way I feel
[Mike Shinoda:]
Hear the screaming in my dreaming
As it's seeming that you've played your part
Like you're heartless, take apart this
In the darkness, but I know that I tried so hard
[Chester Bennington:]
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
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
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 In The End (Demo) Comments
I Tried So (In The End Demo 1999)
One, it multiplies until you can taste the sun
And burn by the sky, you try to take it from
But if it falls, there's no place to run
Crumbling down, it's (so unreal)
They're dealing you in to the term and your end
And sending you back again to places you've been
And bending your will until it breaks you within
And still, they (fill their eyes)
With the twilight, through the skylight
End the highlights on a frame of steel
See the brightness of your likeness as I write this
On a path through (the way I feel)
Hear the screaming, am I dreaming, as it's seeming
That you've played your part
Like you're heartless, take apart this
In the darkness, but I know that
I've 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
I broke down line once there is not what ought to be
Held back by the battles they fought for me
Calling me to be part of their property
And now I see that I (get no chance)
I get no breaks, fakes and snakes
Quickly lead to mistakes
And now the tightrope within slowly starts to thin
I could only hope that they (close their eyes)
To the twilight, through the skylight
End the highlights on a frame of steel
See the brightness of your likeness as I write this
On a path through (the way I feel)
Hear the screaming, am I dreaming, as it's seeming
That you've played your part
Like you're heartless, take apart this in the darkness
But I know that
I've 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
(I put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know) x3
I've 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
It surely talks about the flawed traditional school system adopted in many countries.
that rap was SICK
2:48 <3
I feel like these song names are better
2019 where are youuuu
I love this demo and the final cut either way there both good
I love the Bridge in this version.
Better than the final product. If this would've received the proper mastering as we know from ''In The End'', it would've turned to an improved version of it. Maybe Chester would've liked it more, since he despised ''In The End'' as it was :P
This is the roots of linkin park or at the time hybrid theory
Feedback in.the.end.Holy
All time great
little much better than original
Booo...get..off..the stage.....OH.....he's dead......now, hes..in a body...bag...I GUESS...he..died ...'the in end'...What?...Too soon....
I had been going mental thinking I’d imagined this version of the song as the homemade compilation CD I had years ago got lost, So when I’d tell people about a third version they thought I was insane and was confusing the reanimated version
I like this version a lot more! It's nice to hear lyrics that aren't dumbed down for the masses.
He had to rewrite it per request of warner bros records.
That beginning sounds better then in final version in my opinion
Wow, I've been trying to find this version for years and years! I personally always preferred this version!
I was searching for this song since 2005 and finally got it!
thank god!
Tbh this is my favorite version of in the end.
Is this song about the sad life of a prostitute? If you really think about it.. Hes referring to someone being sent to places theyve been. Someone enjoying seing them prostitute. And that other person feeling like in the end nothing matters
lmao that is one shitty rap
Narcoman
I miss Chester
This is a gem 🔺🔴
Is Mike rapping about 9/11?
This song was made before 9/11
I know that.
I don't know why people think Mark is in this song. It's clearly Chester.
my god thos aree some fire lyrics coming from mike shinoda
i got blown away back the when i found out in the end had a demo, either version are great
2:30 so LP was about to blend the beach boys with metal. Would've been interesting
It's the best demo version for me....i like it🖕🖕🖕
This is one of the best demos. RIP my hero.
#RIPCHESTER
better than the original, my opinion
But this is the original.
If you grow up with lp this sounds so weird and wrong
why Chester's mic $0.5
Sorry but i prefer the original version :/
But this is the original.
What demo disc did you get this from?
WHY ARE THE DEMOS SO GOOD
At first I thought „is that really Chester“ bc he sounds sooo different from when he sings In The End. But I truly love his voice. In the end and forever, our angel ❤️
They took particular harmonies out of the finished version. It's interesting to hear the original idea here. One little thing that stood out to me... he sings "feeeel " instead of "eeeend " before the chorus. There's a certain way he lets it roll off the tongue when finishing that word, "feel", almost like "fee-u~hhl", it's almost like more epic and raw, unrestrained even. Like a got damn superstar. Great to hear this shit. Amazing to think they were doing this about 20 YEARS ago, coming up on. Coming up with this music as a band, and finally getting signed. Oh it's the good life now baby. Well, that's the expectation at first lol.
I like these verses better than the official ones
sounds awesome I actually enjoyed it
R.I.P Chester Bennington
like this one more than real one
Love this version of the song, love the Hybrid theory one, and I love the reanimation version. They all have great verses.
One thing, I don't know how
It doesn't even matter when you look at it now
'Cause when I designed this rhyme
I was scared of it all, scared to fall, and I hadn't even tried to crawl
But I was forced to run with you mocking me, stopping me, backstabbing me constantly
Remembering all the times you fought with me
Watch the clock now chock-full of hypocrisy
But now your mouth wishes it could inhale
Every single little thing you said to make things fail
Every single word you sputtered just to get your piece
But it really doesn't matter to me
'Cause from the start to the end, no matter what I pretend
The journey is more important than the end or the start
And what it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard
The demos have much, much heavier lyrics in them. Makes the actual released album really feel like just an angry teenager. These words are just so...beyond their years.
Listening to this feels like reading somebody's draft before they finalize into a finished product.
The way I feel...................................................
This is awesome! I saw this album for sale for like $460
I've been looking for this version for over ten years thank you !!!!!
So Raw and Just....Better....
The final version was too simplified. This is more real y'know
this so weird and great at the same time
Fuck I remember this version when it was new!! :-D
The bridge is so much more incredible here, although the radio single stuck out through the memories
fakes and snakes quickly lead to mistakes
RIP Chester
RIP Chester
Cool demo :D
R.I.P Chester Bennington 😕😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Chester Bennington R.I.P❤❤❤❤ thank you for showing me the way. i wish they kept i this in the final version.
RIP Chester :(
It's always nice to come back to the roots of Linkin Park. Rest in peace, Chester Bennington. :(
RIP CHESTER :'(
Chester will always be with us in spirit and in 1's and 0's
T.T rip... i hope you find what your looking for man
Hi was up with you today
Is a better day for the front and of like a part because he hung himself I feel really bad for the band home I'm sorry to hear that guys but now I can't help you because I'm not paying that I'm sorry I send my regrets to you
Classic song! Chester is genius...
Good bye
Now these songs are just...memories.
RIP CHESTER
I'm gonna miss Chester.
This is still the version I sing whenever the song pops into my head all these years later
😢😢😢😢😢😢
Damn...R.I.P. chester
Holy shit how did I not know about this version
it seems like a lot of their older material had more complex lyrics. at least on Mike's parts
i kinda prefer the older version, no offence to this official song, but somehow I don't like this as much as the other version, I dunno, but the one after this. dunno how to call that
Anybody else like this better than the version from the album?
Tommy Messina. I could either way. But this isn't bad either.
Btw. This song is on an album. Their first ever album actually. It's called Xero
this is the ultimate learning tool for understanding what it sounds like without tracking your vocals with the proper microphone ,microphone preamps,,compressors. which is more critical than the mixing stage. and lets not forget the premastering .
2017!!!!
muito foda essa versão da "In The End" I like that ;-)
the way I feeeeellll
I love the echo of the single tune blips behind mike's rapping. It made the final cut but not with those echos
i remember mike sayin that he was in the dark room writing lyrics for this song but it never strikes me untill now those lyrics are exactly what he felt while he was there
once i vlearned those lyrics i cant go back i am singing them even when i hear the original song its so good damn
TheHrebo This is the original.
this rap is even better i love this version
this sounds so different
Alguien ke able español ?
I love how Mike's young and unedited voice sounds in these demos, their really old stuff really shows what a dope MC he is, it's a shame they dumbed down the lyrics for more radioplay
they should combine both verses with the new one to make a supersong
Combine the instrumental version of the official song with the lyrics from this one, assuming they make it sound like from the original
Remaster it like they did with "Eminem: infinite" if they could improve this as much as that song I would be a very happy man 😂
fodaaaaaaaaaaa
Cara, o álbum Hybrid Theory do Linkin Park pra mim é o melhor album da banda e um dos 10 melhores que já ouvi, foi uma pena mesmo a banda ter mudado tanto o som deles
Mesmo com a mudança de som, de estilo em que as músicas foram mudando de álbum em álbum, a banda sempre teve uma objetividade para cada álbum, por exemplo, o "Minutes to Midnight" (2007), foi um álbum mais focado para músicas mais lentas e com letras de objetivo que aquele álbum queria propor, como por exemplo a música "Leave Out All The Rest", agora, se fomos analisar o álbum "The Hunting Party" (2014) podemos ver que o álbum propõe um estilo mais como podemos dizer "agitado", e que a banda queria propor algumas músicas com estilo que lembrava o rock dos anos 90, como por exemplo a música: "Rebellion", então isso vai de álbum em álbum. 2017, vai ter álbum novo e eu espero que me surpreenda, como eu também me surpreendi com todos os outros álbuns de estúdio que a banda fez.
Se tiver o estilo similar aos 3 primeiros álbums, o álbum ficará bom, e o The Hunting Party relembra o rock da segunda metade dos anos 2000, nos anos 90 a música era muito focada no instrumental, um exemplo de álbum que tem esse estilo é o The Serenity Of Suffering do Korn que lançaram no ano passado, eles buscaram um pouco dos primeiros álbums deles como o Issues e Follow The Leader, se o Linkin Park fizer como o Korn, o álbum vai ficar muito irado
Outra coisa a destacar do Linkin Park principalmente nos 2 primeiros álbums é que eles tinham um estilo de som que variava entre o nu metal e o metal alternativo, e com o passar do tempo passou a adotar o estilo do rock alternativo, já no último álbum o estilo que o Linkin Park trouxe foi o Hard Rock, e eu não curto muito Hard Rock, prefiro o nu metal dos anos 90 e 2000.
Eu li alguns comentários falando que eram as "originais", as demos tbm podem ser chamadas assim? A letra parece mais interessante nessa aqui. Also, R.I.P Chester :c
