For today's song, we're going back to the early 2000's with Faint by Linkin Park and of course the original singer, Chester Bennington. Faint is hands down my favorite Linkin Park song of all time and has been since the first time I heard it. Something about the beat, the rhythm and the lyrics just grabbed hold of me and have stuck with me ever since. It's a song I listen to very often, and even more so since we lost Chester Bennington several years back.
While I like most every song Linkin Park has ever put out, to me, Faint is just the best of the best and something I love to hear. It gets me motivated and can really make my day!
[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
I am a little bit of loneliness
A little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints, but I can't help the fact
That everyone can see these scars
I am what I want you to want
What I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you
To just believe this is real
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
So I let go, watchin' you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored
