So, I have to say the song that i connect the most with is No Roads Left
Like this: why do i feel like i deserve this? why does my pain look like my pride&
its awesome to read all of this, LP fans getting into the songs more
To be honest, I connect to Crawling the most, but not why you think. Crawling was the first song of LP that I heard. If not for that song, I don’t think I would have been a fan as soon as I was. Every time I hear that song, I am reminded of why I fell in love with them in the first place.
Now, in regards to words of their songs connecting to me, Robot Boy is the only one that I mentally connect to. At one time, I felt like no one was there for me and the whole weight of the world was on my shoulders. I love this song because it pushes you to fight.
On another note, I really connect with all their songs. I sit at work and listen to all their songs from 8 to 6 non stop. They keep me going throughout the day! Great forum by the way!
I gotta say What I’ve Doen and New Divide because it was the two first lp songs i ever heard and that means a lot to me
Figure.09, In the end, and One Step Closer.
(Sorry I had to pick 3 hehe)
Figure.09 because for a long time I couldn’t figure out where the song title came from and the mystery of it made it a favourite.
In the end was the song that made me get into Linkin Park,
and One Step Closer I think is their greatest song and it also reminds me of my number plate for my car that I once had. It said “Don’t take” in writing above, then 1STEP as the plate and then “Closer” in writing underneath…
Somewhere I Belong… I literally shed a tear when Mike’s eye looked like he’s crying during their Living Things concert in Sydney. When I singed this song while they were performing it I felt every lyrics like it was what I’m feeling atm. I’m trying to be something for someone where hopefully I would feel that I really belong eventually…
I would have to say “Numb” because it really hits home with all the issues I had with my mom for many years. For my life more currently, I would have to say LOATR. Just lots of things that have happened and I hope for that should something happen to me that my family would remember the good.
Somewhere I Belong
I have nice memories involving either What I’ve Done or In the End - I have no idea which one it was! I was a kid back then and spent many of my summers in Estonia because my mother comes from there, and we would always listen to radio while driving around, and I remember two songs that were being played constantly: Behind Blue Eyes (The Who cover) by Limp Bizkit and this mysterious song by Linkin Park. I didn’t know anything about LP back then, although they were a huge thing! For some reason, I thought that they were making extremely heavy music.
Anyway, I didn’t discover LP’s music until 2012 or late 2011. But when I did, I recognised that mysterious song from my past. Until now I’ve actually been thinking the song I’d been hearing was What I’ve Done, 'cause it sounded more familiar to me, but now… I’m not quite sure. I mean, What I’ve Done was apparently released in 2007 - I was already 13 then, not exactly a kid anymore, and we didn’t travel to Estonia that often anymore… Or did we? It’s so confusing! Well, Behind Blue Eyes by Limp Bizkit was released in 2003, I was 10 years old then. And somehow I remember that it was being played together with this LP song, I mean, both of them were being played on the radio at the same time, and in that case, it would probably make more sense if the song in question was actually In the End which was released in 2001 I guess. I’m confused. Maybe it wasn’t even Linkin Park. Although I really feel like it was, and I really think the song was either What I’ve Done or In the End. I think it was What I’ve Done after all… That song brings back good memories.
[quote=Geki]What I’ve Done is the most special to me. It represents a special time in my life, and the lyrics really hit home with me. I always fantasize about being able to change everything about myself and start over new again, I also have a lot of regretful decisions in my mind.

It’s like that for me, too. I hope that someday I can do as the lyrics suggest and start again. It’s an inspirational song.
Numb is also special to me. It was the first LP song that I consciously listened to. It’s an amazing song and makes me feel a lot, although I can’t really relate to the lyrics that much. Iridescent and Shadow of the Day make me feel a lot, too.
Somewhere I Belong and In Between touch my soul. The lyrics make all the sense in my life, and I travel in the instrumentals and backing vocals…
I would have to say Papercut and The Messenger.
From each album:
HT: With You (The first team hearing Joe’s intro going into Brad’s guitar playing…then suddenly into Mike’s rapping “I woke up in a dream today” with the soft piano and orchestra in the background…it brings up old memories from my childhood every time)
Meteora: From The Inside (same reasons as ‘With You’) or Faint-Demo Version (I always preferred Mike’s rapping in this version compared to the final version)
MTM: Valentine’s Day (the lyrics and the final chorus do it for me)
ATS: The Requiem (With Mike’s voice programmed with that childlike sound) and The Catalyst (I love the ending once the piano kicks in)
LT: Lost In The Echo (One of my all-time favorite LP songs that brought me back to their early style but kept a progressive sound)
I also love New Divide since it provided that hard rock sound from MTM but combined some of the electronic elements from ATS.
Im really connected to Easier to Run. It still creeps me out a little how to a T that song describes somethings I went through as a kid.
But I can listen to Powerless and just cry because it describes every feeling Ive ever had towards my grandma and her alcoholism that very much affected my life. So I feel pretty connected to that song too.
Leave out all the rest, iridescent, by myself and with you. Those 4 songs can make any day so much better. But i have to say I can’t really choose one specific song that is the best. I absolutely LOVE all of their music. Their music helped me so much this year!! You know your a fan when you literally listen to their music 24/7 for 4 weeks straight day in and day out while doing your final year chemical engineering design project, and you’re still not tired of hearing their songs!!
I swear if it wasn’t for them I would not have survived my final year! I owe these guys my degree!!
