O Linkin Park acabou de disponibilizar a versão demo de “In The End”, conhecida como “Untitled”. Esta é a mesma versão que foi lançada no CD de demos do LPU 11, em 2011, onde Mike Shinoda comentou sobre ela:

“Estas foram as letras dos versos originais que escrevi para esta música, e a melodia original na ponte. Me lembro de feito ela em nosso estúdio de ensaio em Hollywood e Vine, trabalhando durante a noite em uma sala sem janelas. Eu não tinha ideia de que hora do dia era; eu só dormia quando estava cansado, e trabalhei nessa música até tomar forma. O primeiro cara a ouvi-la foi Rob, que me disse (estou parafraseando) que era ‘exatamente o tipo de música que ele queria que escrevêssemos.'”

“In The End (Demo)” será lançada no CD LPU Rarities que faz parte do Hybrid Theory (20th Anniversary Edition) programado para o dia 09 de outubro.

Letra:
It starts with one…

One, then multiplies ‘til you can taste the sun
And burned by the sky you try to take it from
But if it falls, there’s no place to run
Crumbling down, it’s so unreal
They’re dealing you in to determine your end
And sending you back again, to places you’ve been
And bending your will ‘til it breaks you, within
And still, they fill their eyes
With the twilight through the skylight
And the highlights on a frame of steel
See the brightness of your likeness
As I write this on a pad with the way I feel
Hear the screaming in my dreaming
As it’s seeming that you’ve played your part
Like you’re heartless, take apart this
In the darkness, but I know that I’ve tried so hard

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 looked down the line
And what’s there is not what ought to be
Held back by the battles they fought for me
Calling me to be part of their property
And now, I see that I get no chance
I get no break
Fakes and snakes quickly lead to mistakes
And as the tightrope within slowly starts to thin
I can only hope that they close their eyes
To the twilight through the skylight
And the highlights on a frame of steel
See the brightness of your likeness
As I write this on a pad to the way I feel
Hear the screaming in my dreaming
As it’s seeming that you’ve played your part
Like you’re heartless, take apart this
In the darkness, but I know that I tried so hard

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’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
