| It's easier to run, Replacing this pain with something numb, It's so much easier to go, Than face all this pain here all alone It's easier to numb yourself and pretend your pain + problems arent there, than to face them when noone is there for you except yourself. Something has been taken, From deep inside of me, A secret I've kept locked away, No one can ever see, Wounds so deep they never show, They never go away, Like moving pictures in my head, For years and years they've played His pain is his secret, because it's pain inside its so deep that nobody can ever see it, and because its emotional pain it never seems to go away. And like a sequence that gets stuck in your mind it just keeps going. If I could change I would, Take back the pain I would, Retrace every wrong move that I made I would, If I could stand up and take the blame I would, I would take all my shame to the grave If he could take back everything that made him hurt so bad, he would, no matter what the cost. Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past, Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have, Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back, And never moving forward so there would never be a past He remembers the things that happened in his past and it brings memories of things he wishes desperately to get rid of. Sometimes he wants to kill himself (letting go and never looking back) and since he would be dead, he wouldnt be moving forward so a past wouldnt be formed. (at least thats what this line means to me, my mom thinks otherwise) Just washing it aside, All of the helplessness inside, pretending I don't feel misplaced, Is so much simpler than change He feels helpless against the pain so he pushes it aside, and pretends that everything is okay, because he feels that pretending the problems arent there is easier than facing them. This is definately one of their best songs, and it holds an extremely strong meaning for me, I felt all too much like this every day growing up with an abusive parent, and now that he's gone this song is kind of like a form of therapy and helps me deal with the past. (now that you all think i'm crazy..) | |

| Linkin Park and Papa Roach are so much more intelligent and nice than Limp Shitkit, Korn, and Shitknot! This song is so real, it's about someone's life being full of problems and sorrow, and how the person believes it's easier to escape and run from all the problems and darkness in his/her life, rather than facing them head-on. I listen to this song whenever things aren't going my way, and it brings tears to my eyes. | |

| 'replacing this pain with something numb'... ive noticed that a lot of linkin park songs, i can relate them with my cutting. that line especially. i kno many people can say drugs or alcohol too. no one wants to deal with their problems so they do stuff so they can forget... or try to at least. | |
