Linking Park - Given up
This is my favourite song, and also a great one to start if you want to try rock music, though many say no to Linking Park for their Punk/ Alternative Rock genre. The sound of clapping hands, then the guitars at the beginning slowly switch your mood from moderate to more extreme level. You will feel the rock once the drum jumps in. Are you about to blow up at the chorus "I gIVe it UPPPPP..."? But that is not yet the extreme. The explosion occurs when the singer cries in his desperate anger: "GODDDDDDDDD. PUT ME OUT OF MINE MISERYYYYYYY", and right after that, the 17 second long scream release all your anger and upset. This scream is a trademark of Bennington, the singer. Believe it or not, cry out loud after him and you no longer feel the need to hate or revenge. You gAVe it UPPPPPPPP
On the first look, one may say that I should be content with my life, that I’ve got all a man could ever wished for, but, believe it or not, I’m being trapped in my own careless decisions and the chances are that I never can get out of them. But I must do it: I must give it up. I must decide or else I would wake up in despair every single day in my whole future. Can you imagine waking up without any specific purpose, or just to curiously find out what happens next in your life? Suffering, Hyperventilating, Suffocating. I had known that all these miseries would come, but, for many reasons, I just could not stopping myself from being drifted into them. I’ve tried once, but failed. I regret not being well-determined enough for that very second, so now I must face it. I must be strong, now or never, and I must defeat the weak-mined person inside me: I’m my own worst enemy…
Things would have simply gone that way; my life would be rotten and forgotten and no one in my family would ever remember or even think of my existence. Then you show up, wake me up from my worst nightmare, and wake up the self of mine in process. When I was in my nightmare of miseries, coward and scared, I thought that only god can save me. No, it is apparently not god, and now I don’t need god to free me from my unfortunate fate. Just you. You gave me thoughts, hopes, and ideas. I’ve been thinking hard. This is a must for my own life and future. It is a big decision and a milestone. This is not for you, at least for the moment; you can just watch, or get involved, it’s your choice. Whatever you do next is not important to me, since I’ve got enough from you. I owe you one, and I’d pay back. But before doing that, I need to get myself out of my miseries. I must defeat myself, the worst enemy of my life.
Inspired by this song:
Lyrics:
Wake in a sweat again
Another day's been laid to waste
In my disgrace
Stuck in my head again
Feels like I'll never leave this place
There's no escape
I'm my own worst enemy
[chorus]
I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong
With me
[end chorus]
I don't know what to take
Thought I was focused but I'm scared
I'm not prepared
I hyperventilate
Looking for help somehow somewhere
And no one cares
I'm my own worst enemy
[chorus]
I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong
With me
[end chorus]
[bridge]
Goddddddd!!!!
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my
Put me out of my fucking misery
[end bridge]
[chorus]
I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong
With me
[end chorus]
