It starts with one
One thing I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme to explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Tryin' to hold on didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually
Be a memory of a time when
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter
One thing I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme to remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so far
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end
You kept everything inside
And even though I tried it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually
Be a memory of a time when
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matter
歌曲的歌词描写的是林肯公园主唱查斯特·贝宁顿的成长奋斗经历,林肯公园经常用他的经历进行运用。在好莱坞的排练室里过夜时,查斯特·贝宁顿正为歌曲创作的事情而烦恼着,他躺在床上想要入睡,但怎么都睡不着,想起了小时候的事,顿时灵感如泉水般涌了出来,就构思出了《In the End》。随后,查斯特·贝宁顿将这首歌唱歌了乐队鼓手罗伯·巴登听,罗伯·巴登认为这就是乐队需要的歌曲,于是乐队展开了歌曲的完善和制作工作。
