Linkin Park - Leave Out All The Rest

[Verse 1:]
Please, please, please—I’m begging here
Can I wake up in a world that feels sincere?
Where the people I love are close, not gone
Where I didn’t trade my soul just to carry on

I’m frozen stiff, I’m aching deep
In every bone, in every sleep
I threw away the things that mattered
Played with fire, let my whole world shatter

[Pre-Chorus:]
How the hell did I let it slip?
Why’d I panic when it all made sense?
Why’d I throw love off the edge
Just ‘cause we had a fight, just ‘cause I flinched?

[Chorus:]
No, nothing can be perfect
But we were more than good enough
Now I’m buried in the darkness
Dug myself a hole too rough
Please, please, please
Help me set this right
I know it’s up to me…
But damn it—give me back my life

[Verse 2:]
I’ve walked through fire, self-made hell
Tortured my soul till it forgot how to yell
I left the light, chose pain instead
Treated love like a game, till it bled

Why didn’t I let myself be loved?
Why’d I run when push came to hug?
I blamed the stars, I cursed the sky
But maybe the fault’s just me this time

[Pre-Chorus:]
Maybe I had to lose it all
To learn what not to let fall
Maybe I had to break apart
To feel the beating in my heart

[Chorus:]
No, nothing can be perfect
But we were more than worth the fight
Now I’m stuck beneath the surface
Suffocating in my own spite
Please, please, please
Help me make it right
I know I’ve got to move…
But God, give me back my life

[Bridge:]
I don’t have to stay alone
I don’t have to be this ghost
There’s a strength in me somewhere
That I need the most
It’s not God’s fault, not fate, not time
This one’s on me—but I can still climb

[Final Chorus:]
No, nothing can be perfect
But I can still rebuild tonight
I’ve got blood, I’ve got breath
I’ve got one last spark of fight
Please, please, please
Let me see the light
I know I’ve got to rise…
So I’m taking back my life

Give Me Back My Life

The Mass

An epic rock tale of love's devastating aftermath, chronicling the journey from complete devotion to emotional purgatory. The song explores the contradictory feelings of loving and hating someone who left, capturing the torment of being simultaneously freed and destroyed by their departure. Raw vocals convey the agony of living with an empty soul in limbo.

🔻 Song Insight

Glass is a slow-burning grunge ballad wrapped in fragility and fracture. The song traces the hollowness of someone who uses addiction and illusion as control, building a kingdom out of smoke and shards. At its core, it’s about watching a person collapse under their own lies, propped up only by the drugs they wield — a false empire that eventually shatters. The chorus lingers like a curse: the wish that they sleep awake, forever haunted by what they’ve done.

🔻 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know the truth
And so do you
Hidden eyes
Kept inside
For every lie

[Chorus]
I hope you sleep awake
With nothing at your side
Dreams wash you down
Broken, alone, abandoned, unfound

[Verse 2]
Fake candied lies
The nothingness you hide
We know your truth inside
Facing facts, you already died

[Chorus] (Repeat)
I hope you sleep awake
With nothing at your side
Dreams wash you down
Broken, alone, abandoned, unfound

[Bridge]
Secrets breathing through teeth
Chatter leeches, hope in retreat
Blood-whipped brow, soaked lies unfold
Your glass empire shatters cold

[Verse 3]
Eyes see past your every try
Cold road, you show, take hold
Slipping doses of glass inside
Molding boys as toys to hide

[Chorus] (Extended)
I hope you sleep awake
With nothing at your side
Dreams wash you down
Broken, alone, abandoned, unfound
Nothing holding, illusion sold
Your glass will break, your grip will fold

[Outro]
Shards cut the hand that feeds
Nothing left but need
Glass in your veins, glass in your crown
When it breaks, you drown

🔻 Personal Reflection

Glass was written from a place of raw confrontation. It came from witnessing someone who defined themselves not by who they were, but by what they could control — and the drugs that gave them that control. Every false promise, every hollow mask, every manipulative move was held together with shards of glass. Without it, there was nothing left. This song is both a release and a reckoning — an acknowledgment that truth cuts sharper than any high.

🔻 4Me2BeFree

This track continues 4Me2BeFree’s mission of turning real pain into cinematic storytelling. Glass is both intimate and confrontational, a snapshot of betrayal and collapse captured in grunge minimalism. Like all 4Me2BeFree songs, it uses sound as a mirror — reflecting lived experiences, giving voice to what’s hard to say out loud, and creating a space where others can find recognition in the fragments of their own stories.

Scars

Above it all — eSTRANGEd couSINs

A dirge that breathes through ruin. Above it all is a monolithic descent into grief rendered as sound — a doom/sludge requiem tuned to Drop C and built from the wreckage of loss. Guitars crawl like rusted machinery, each chord dragging gravel and bone, soaked in tube burn and the hum of dying amps. Bass coils beneath it, slow and tectonic, shaking the floorboards with a growl that feels alive. Drums hit like falling masonry — every snare a collapse, every cymbal a hiss of dust rising.

The voice — fractured, human, and haunted — cuts through the density with raw, flesh-torn resonance. There are no choruses here, no verses to cling to. Just the pulse of grief repeating, reforming, eroding itself. The track expands like smoke inside a sealed room: crushing, meditative, unmerciful.

eSTRANGEd couSINs summon the weight of Electric Wizard, YOB, and Conan, but with something lonelier threading the cracks — the sound of loss that refuses to die. Above it all isn’t about transcendence. It’s about what you hear when the collapse finally stops echoing, and you realize you’re still breathing beneath it.
