🔥 Decifrando "In The End - Linkin Park" | A história por trás da música | Tradução Explicada

In The End is definitely one of Linkin Park's most famous songs and a timeless hit. But did you know that it wasn't written by the lead vocalist Chester Bennington and that he didn't even like the song? Yeah, but despite that, the song brings many similarities about how his life began, and how it came to an end.

I'm Guilherme, and today I'm going to reveal the story behind the song In The End, by Linkin Park, and breakdown the lyrics to the song, here on DecifraHITS channel Despite the gigantic success, the band did not have such an easy start. No record label trusted the idea of the sound brought by the band which mixed elements of Rock with Rap. And without any support, the band started making songs by their own means, and they started promoting their work in small gigs and on internet forums, until they had some recognition.

In '99, they managed to sign a deal with Warner Bros Records, after being denied 3 times by that same label. At the time, the band was called “Hybrid Theory”, which is the name of a music theory, which consists on combining two different musical genres to obtain the best qualities from each one. That's basically what the band did by bringing together elements of Rock and Rap, creating a unique and spectacular sound.

Despite this, Warner recommended that the band changed its name, to avoid being mistaken with another band that was called "Hybrid". Thus, they chose the name "Lincoln Park", which was the name of a park in Santa Monica, California, by which Chester Bennington always drove by on his way to the studio. However, when registering the lincolnpark.

com domain on the internet, they realised that this domain had already been registered, and so they just changed the spelling to Linkin Park, which is how we know it today. Even with a signed contract, the band's style did not please everyone. Warner itself wanted the band to abandon the hip hop elements and that they focused only on traditional rock.

They even recommended the removing Mike Shinoda, he was the member who did the rap parts on the songs. But luckily for us, the band turned down those recommendations. And after a lot of hard work, on October 24, 2000, they released their first album, “Hybrid Theory”, which was a resounding success, selling over 30 million copies worldwide.

The album featured major hits like "Crawling", "Papercut", and of course, the song "In the end", which, according to Mike Shinoda himself, was the greatest song the band ever recorded. With more than 1 billion views on Youtube, it was definitely a gigantic success. By the way, anyone who likes anime knows how many great AMV's were made out of this song.

But like everything the band went through, the way this song was created wasn't nothing easy either. It all started when Mike Shinoda locked himself in an old windowless house on a dark and gloomy street in the suburbs of California, which was where the band had their first rehearsals And he would only leave there after doing something that would change the history of the band. forever.

Mike intended to create an epic song that could connect his most aggressive songs with his most melodic ones and that was a timeless work. That song was "In The End". Gradually, the song was being created, and as it dawned, the rest of the band arrived at the house, and Mike was ready to show the song to the other members.

But what he didn't know is that not everyone would receive the song so well as he had hoped. The first to hear the melody was drummer Rob Bourdon, who was extremely surprised when he heard the song. Rob said that just the night before, he was thinking that the band needed to create a song that had melodic elements and was universal, a true masterpiece, and Rob said he saw it all on "In The End.

" However, Chester, the band's lead singer, wasn't very excited about the song, and he didn't even want to include it on the album. He simply didn't see nothing special in the song, but he later thanked the band for having decided to leave it on the album, since it was a key milestone in the band's career. Okay, but what about the lyrics?

What is the real meaning behind them? There are several theories about the meaning of the lyrics Some say the song chronicles the end of a relationship: "I made this rhyme to remind myself of how much I tried so hard, despite the way you mocked me, acting like I was part of your property. I put my trust in you, I held on as long as I could.

" Or even with the end of a friendship: "I remembered all the times you fought me. I'm surprised it made it this far. Things aren't the way they used to be.

You wouldn't even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me before but it all comes back to me in the end. " Others say it may have something to do with hopelessness in life and frustration with the relentless passage of time: "Time is a valuable thing. Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings.

Watch the countdown to the end of the day the clock is taking life away. This is so surreal. " But one of the most popular theories is that the lyrics are about Chester Bennington's childhood and troubled life, and about the feeling he developed, that no matter what he did, nothing was worth it.

Since his childhood was marked by trauma and abuse, which probably contributed for him to develop a strong depr***ion and addiction to drugs and alcohol, which haunted the singer throughout his life until he decided to end it 2017. And in his biography "In The End, a tribute to Chester Bennington," author Rosanna Costantino says that because Chester's parents worked hard to maintain the family he spent most of his time alone as a child. At the age of 7, he was abused by a teenager, it was a terror that he carried with him forever.

In addition, he was bullied at school as he was considered thin and weird. And at age 9, his parents split up, bringing even more conflict into his head. By the age of 13, he was already consuming alcohol and LSD.

Chester used to use his songs to expose the pain he felt due to his internal struggles, and which we now realize, too late, it was one of the singer's ways to scream for help For Chester, one of the few things that kept him going was the band and his friends. Especially Christopher Cornell, who despite not being part of the band, was Chester's best friend. The two even went on tour together, had a lot in common and had a very strong connection.

"I watched time go out the window. I tried to hold on, but I didn't even know I was wasting so much just to see you go. " Despite the success that Linkin Park was having, Chester went through a lot of difficult times.

In addition to his troubled childhood, drug and alcohol addiction, he went through a troublesome divorce from his first wife Samantha in 2005, and he lost close friends to cancer. And in May 2017, his best friend Chris Cornell took his own life in a hotel after a concert. These news impacted Chester in a very intense way, and he even wrote an open letter saying that he couldn't imagine living in a world without Christopher.

And two months later, on July 20, 2017, Chris Cornell's birthday, the world lost Chester Bennington, a brilliant singer and human being who will forever be in our memory. "And no matter how hard I tried, it all fell apart. What once meant something to me will eventually become a memory of a time when I tried so hard.

" Although Chester wrote many songs exposing his pains and struggles, this was not the case with "In The End", which was recorded in the year 2000. As we have seen from the story about the creation of the song it was mostly composed by Mike Shinoda . , who said that when writing the lyrics, all he thought about was how difficult it was for the group to get where they had got.

"I've tried so hard and got this far but in the end, it doesn't even matter. " Mike said the following: "These lines just popped up. I think I was thinking about all the hardships we went through in our early days.

I didn't even know if those lyrics were optimistic or pessimistic, but the fear that all our work would be ignored was what inspired me to write. Also, I reflected on how insignificant life can be, and how quickly time passes as if nothing matters. " Actually, as it is for any artwork, there are different interpretations for this song, and it is up to each one to feel or enjoy this music in each specific moment of their life, in their own way.

What we do know is that this song became a milestone in our childhood, adolescence and in our lives. Making a huge impact on the music industry, influencing many other artists. And that, without a doubt, will continue to be one of our favorite songs, as well as Chester will forever be in our hearts.
