Leave out all the rest....except Linkin Park :)

I just cant get over this song..
i know its an old song... nothing new to gush about but i have been listening to an entirely different (but uncannily similar enough to deceive me) song as 'Leave out all the rest by Linkin Park'. it was one of Tribal Ink song...so close to being an LP track..kudos to those guys.. they are suppose to be a new band...

so here are the lyrics.. (its for those who believe Rock is only about swearing loudly and headbanging.. check out the lyrics..arent they brilliant!!!!!!!!!)

***********************I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here

So if you're asking me
I want you to know
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I made
I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you
So if you're asking me
I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well
Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are*********************

its so good to have such songs on the playlist when you are tired of listening to the usual fare of love, heartbreak, togetherness, separation blah blah...

when i listen to songs like this, i cant help but wonder why sometimes we narrow down our focus so much.. love is just a part of life.. there is more to life than having a bf or husband... there is more to life than be dependent on someone and making sure that someone is dependent on you... (i feel like this too when i listen to our hindi blockbusters.. )
i know it is a lovely feeling when you mean world to someone but whats next?

Is it wrong to expect from matured beings to spend a little time introspecting their lives, their decisions, their future..accepting their flaws, taking responsibility for their actions, right or wrong??
like its said in this song...

"I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you"

we are not perfect...we are not meant to be! wish people could accept that for their own selves and for others...

thats why i love LINKIN PARK... its not a love band.. their songs are not love songs...i call them Life Songs... its about life and its games...its glorious centerstage and the dark passageways...
It forces you to listen beyond the drums, the guitars... it makes you listen to your own thoughts that are curbed down in day to day life..

On my way back home every night when Patni bus is riding on one of those express highways, with wind rushing in my hair... i just have to sit back, close my eyes and listen to one of such LP gems..and i forget everything in my life..except for the life.. :)

HAIL LINKIN PARK... they seriously ROCK \m/
if you can, do listen to this song and introspect...
