Linkin Park – What I’ve Done
I heard this song on the radio the other day and knew right away that it would be a favorite. I’m really excited to hear the rest of the songs on Minutes to Midnight now; if they’re half as good as “What I’ve Done,” it’s bound to be as good as, if not better than, the rest of their CDs.
Seriously, though, this song’s lyrics are deep. I got chills the first time I listened to it. It makes me wonder what kind of regrets inspired the person who wrote it. Whatever they were, I think anyone listening to the song can empathize. After all, is there anyone who can honestly say they aren’t ashamed of something they’ve done? Don’t we all want forgiveness from the only ones who really matter… ourselves?
What I’ve Done by Linkin Park
In this farewell
There’s no blood
There’s no alibi
‘Cause I’ve drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I’ve done
I’ll face myself
To cross out what I’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what I’ve done
Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands
Of uncertainty
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I’ve done
I’ll face myself
To cross out what I’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what I’ve done
For what I’ve done
I’ll start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I’m forgiving what I’ve done
I’ll face myself
To cross out what I’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what I’ve done
What I’ve done
Forgiving what I’ve done
