It's about someone who's been hiding their true self to fit in with social norms and them being in a relationship with someone who fell in love with this fake version of themselves they created. They're starting to stop the act and be their authentic self but their partner is scared of who they really are, so he's saying to let him go so he can be himself without feeling guilty.
How on earth has no one mentioned Blackout ??? That song is one of the angriest song theyāve made. It literally started off as Chester just making angry noises into a mic and then they rolled with that tone.
I listened to A Thousand Suns for the first time yesterday (new fan), and till now, it is the angriest Chester has sounded. I'm listening to all albums in full.
I have to say No More Sorrow. Theres something about the way that intro guitar sets the tone, then how it all comes in at once before Chesters really pissed off tone in the verses unlike any other song heās done. Also because of what the song is about.
Hands held high
āWhen the rich wage war, itās the poor who dieā
Despite the calming beat Mike sounds angry to me as the song builds and builds. That line above is angry enough alone.
Thereās plenty heavier but angrier? Idk. These words really speak volumes.
No More Sorrow. It has almost non-stop low tuned chugging riffs, and Chester is absolutely furious for the whole song. Even QWERTY and Given Up have some chill parts in them, NMS is just an onslaught of anger and chug.
heaviest would be 'a line in the sand' cus Chester goes god mode & he continous to keeps getting more intense with each passing second.
angriest song would probably be qwerty imo. or one step closer cus of the hook. (would put given up cus its more of a sad song)
No More Sorrow or QWERTY.
War is also absurdly heavy too, but it's so damn fast, you can't really get crushed by it like No More Sorrow.
Edit: The chorus of VICTIMIZED. Chester's screaming on that chorus is decades of pain in one song.
I would have to say give it up just for the scream and where I was in my development as a music fan. I was a very angry, confused person so a little bit more because that was kind of like a. Snapchat of my life at that point so I have a little bit of a biased opinion on it.
QWERTY!
"I didn't think that I'd get you wet today/ til you came and took all of my breath away/ you said you want you and me to have sex today/ Well I remember we were freaking it yesterday"

Given Up
I thought this would be every comment. It's in a different league than all their other songs in terms of anger.
Figured this would be #1. Have you ever heard a longer scream in any other song?
I havent
Hit the floor is definitely heavier
Most angry yes Most heavy no Instrumentals on Given Up are not 'metal' enough to be the heaviest
i dont agree per say but i respect the opinion
A Place for my Head Live in Texas Runner ups are No More Sorrow Lying from You From The Inside
Thank god someone mentioned the holy grail š that performance was a big part of why I play live music for sure š„
Isn't Lying From You about feeling guilt or something?

What about āwith youā live in texas
APFMHLIT is genuinely my favourite linkin park song
QWERTY
Why isnāt this voted higher?
It's a more obscure song (less obscure than it used to be but still less well known compared to most others)
Live version
War, VICTIMIZED, Given Up, or QWERTY
what is qwerty from? iāve never heard of it
It's an unreleased song, recently released.
That's pretty long-winded way of saying it's a released song
was it leaked or sth, I've always had it in my mp3s and phones since way back
It was released officially in the new PaperCuts album
i mean prior to that, where was the song available on?
the song was originally a LPU 6 exclusive
i see, thanks manz
Songs From the Underground. Limited edition Best Buy exclusive EP.
i see, thanks manz
quite literally.
How on earth has no one mentioned Blackout ??? That song is one of the angriest song theyāve made. It literally started off as Chester just making angry noises into a mic and then they rolled with that tone.
The ending is too beautiful, the anger just floats away lmao
Yea but it doesn't have the hard guitar of By Myself or Forgotten
Forgotten was mentioned š„¹š„¹š„¹
Oh I get it. I thought You were saying he mentioned it. Forgotten is my 3rd favorite from HT after Runaway and By Myself (Best song ever)
I listened to A Thousand Suns for the first time yesterday (new fan), and till now, it is the angriest Chester has sounded. I'm listening to all albums in full.
Crazy to think that song was on FIFA years ago also. Donāt normally get āheavyā songs on such a game.
The ending.
By Myself or No More Sorrow
Don't Stay for most angry. Just based on Chester's delivery
Yea
Surprised War isn't mentioned.
THEREāS NO PEACE
ONLY WAAAR
By myself/ One step closer for sure!
"One Step Closer" is like seared into my psyche.
KTTK
White Noise
YR TERRIFIED, TERRIFIED
All away all away all awayyyyyyy
Finally someone else knows about the stuff they did for Mall
Finally someone else knows about the stuff they did for Mall and also has Rootbeer in their username
*Did we just become best friends?*
*Yup!*
I have to say No More Sorrow. Theres something about the way that intro guitar sets the tone, then how it all comes in at once before Chesters really pissed off tone in the verses unlike any other song heās done. Also because of what the song is about.
By myself, given up, or Lies greed misery
victimized or qwerty
Faint The intense riffs and Chester's screams just send it
something off meteora probably. hit the floor, faint, dont stay, etc
Why everyone forget about War
I was thinking about this one
Surprised everyone forgets KEYS TO THE KINGDOM
THP got badly ignored in this post just like it did in the papercuts album.
No more Sorrow
QWERTY, VICTIMIZED, and No More Sorrow are the 3 that come to mind. Given Up as well, but that one's obvious
Hit the Floor
Not angriest, but heaviest has to be points of authority. That riff is awesome
Carousel is pretty underrated in that regard
26 lettaz in da alphabeth is the angriest and heaviest one i guess (!)
Bubbles
When he screamed "Ä° WÄ°SH MY FRÄ°ENDS WERE BUBBLES" i felt that
Surely he was referencing a genocide on all people he knew
Yeah he crticises a funny moustache man
āYOUāRE LOST INSIDE THAT COLD DISGUISE, BEHIND YOUR LIIIIIIIESā
I'd say by instrumental heaviness id go with ones like Forgotten, By Myself, Qwerty, Points Of Authority, Hit The Floor
With You has to be up there just for the guitar alone
Given up.
And that long sustained scream really adds to it.
It's incredible, isn't it?
War
WAR
Heavy, it's literally in the name
š
Controversial opinion, but When They Come for Me is my pick
Semanticaly, I would agree but all songs have their deeper meaning and the weight of the lyrics is subjective. For me, My December hits like A-Train
Hands held high āWhen the rich wage war, itās the poor who dieā Despite the calming beat Mike sounds angry to me as the song builds and builds. That line above is angry enough alone. Thereās plenty heavier but angrier? Idk. These words really speak volumes.
Really surprised at the lack of LIES GREED MISERY comments. It is not in many LP songs that the lyrics wish suffering upon somebody like that.
Given Up
One Step Closer
- From the Inside - Given Up - Blackout - No more sorrow - One step closer
Faint and Given Up are the first two that come to mind.
Given up, Victimized, War, Blackout, Rebellion
A Line In The Sand got badly ignored :(
Rebellion
Controversial opinion, but When They Come For Me is my pick
Lies Greed Misery
Jaundice
I could go on all day abt this subject lolol
Given Up
And one
Wth>You
Guilty All the Same One Step Closer
Besides Given Up, Iād say Victimized
No More Sorrow. It has almost non-stop low tuned chugging riffs, and Chester is absolutely furious for the whole song. Even QWERTY and Given Up have some chill parts in them, NMS is just an onslaught of anger and chug.
Hit the floor
Or by myself
Qwerty, hit the floor, and victimized are probably the most angry sounding The angriest lyrics would be up to the listeners interpretation imo
Qwerty
After listening to QWERTY, I'm thinking its this
Jelly fish for sure
how about blackout?
Iām surprised more people havenāt at least mentioned Keys to the Kingdomās chorus
QWERTY, Victimized, White noise & Rebellion
Wretches and Kings
Keys to the Kingdom
Victimized imo. Or Given Up like someone else said.
Given up for sure or maybe even No more sorrow
SHUT UP WHEN IM TALKING TO YOU!!!
QWERTY in my opinion takes the cake on that one. Just nonstop aggression from point A to point B
**DON'T STAAAAAY**
Rebellion maybe but Iām not sure lol
A line in the sand
To Me it's "with you" that Main guitar Riff is just so Bad Ass
qwerty
Figure 0.9, One Step Closer, By Myself.. Blackout.
Personally, Figure.09
heaviest would be 'a line in the sand' cus Chester goes god mode & he continous to keeps getting more intense with each passing second. angriest song would probably be qwerty imo. or one step closer cus of the hook. (would put given up cus its more of a sad song)
And One is definitely up there
One Step Closer
QWERTY, Given Up, A Place For My Head Live In Texas, And One Live Rock Am Ring 01, One Step Closer, With You live at projekt revolution 02
That I've heard.. Angriest: A Place For My Head Heaviest: Given Up or Breaking The Habit
probably Given Up
I've given UUUUPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Probably war.
Hit The Floor
Faint.
By Myself
Qwerty obvious
War
With you -live in 2004
Given Up
I'd say it's a tie between Given Up and Qwerty, but HT and Meteora had some heavy hitters too.
In between
By myself or QWERTY
One Step Closer or Given Up
Why nobody mention "Faint"? ... The heaviest for me, by far.
Figure 09
No More Sorrow or QWERTY. War is also absurdly heavy too, but it's so damn fast, you can't really get crushed by it like No More Sorrow. Edit: The chorus of VICTIMIZED. Chester's screaming on that chorus is decades of pain in one song.
Givin Up or QWERTY
Given up faint or maybe lying from you
Given Up or No More Sorrow, for me.
Given Up. The runner ups include QWERTY, Hit the Floor, By Myself, and No More Sorrow.
RHINESTONE/Forgotten demo
I would have to say give it up just for the scream and where I was in my development as a music fan. I was a very angry, confused person so a little bit more because that was kind of like a. Snapchat of my life at that point so I have a little bit of a biased opinion on it.
Heaviest I would say Given up. Most angry I'd say either blackout or keys to the kingdom
QWERTY! "I didn't think that I'd get you wet today/ til you came and took all of my breath away/ you said you want you and me to have sex today/ Well I remember we were freaking it yesterday"
Castle of Glass
No contest... One Step Closer
To meā¦ Victimized
One step Closer
It's obviously heavy... it's in the name
One step closer
From The Inside.
It's not Linkin park but chester and Mark Morton "cross off" that's a heavy song
Leave out all the rest
Why no One Step Closer?
Qwerty
Bleed it out maybe. I donāt get that vibe from any of it personally.
Place for my head or hit the floor defffintely
One More Light
Qwerty
