Linkin Park: In The End Meaning
Song Released: 2001
In The End Lyrics
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...
-
It's about his divorce. Artists have to push as hard as they can to succeed. I hope none of you ever have to go through that devastating heartbreak.
-
My Interpretation about the song is that the man who is telling his story in this beautiful song is a man of nature and describing how the nature is trying so hard to keep it live,to bind all its stuff etc. and has "got so far" untill the Humans have attacked it for its resources and in the end of the song when the whole area grows green is a indication that the EARTH agrees with his man of nature and his friends i.e The chorus.
-
This song is about the end of a friendship or a falling out of friends. The artist is saying how he tried to show the listener the love and compassion of a true friend but in return, the listener turned their back on him and basically threw away all that he had worked for.
-
Wow you are all making it too deep! It is about his Divorce to his first wife and the struggle to make it work when she didn't want to work at it!
-
This song is literally about a game of chess.

Almost all songs by Linkin Park have a motivational meaning ,a positive meaning ,including this one,and "in the end"-means nothing of negative things that happens in real life ,that they doesnt even matter,because when we die there is yet another beggining ,an eternal life ,only positive moments that we create matters....

In my opinion, it's about life,
'time is a valuable thing, watch it fly by as the pendulum swings, watch it countdown to the end of the day, the clock ticks life away"
a mate of mine died nearly 7 months ago, his favourite band was linkin park, out of respect for him, we listened to them, as soon as this song came on, we realised how much this song related to him,
no matter how hard he tried, in the end, id didn't matter,
"I had to fall, to lose it all" < quite possibly relates to death, or breakdown,
this is just my opinion....
RIP B.S.M

This song is for religious purposes. It doesn't mean anything about relationships. Watch the clip and you'll know.
-
I might have a bit too much free interpretation. He talks about the integration of an individual in our system and society. we give it all working and feeling part of a culture, supporting our country's economy, and at first we believe in that. the song show the depresion of realizing how we are actually working to pay your debts and life costs, watching how time goes by, being a slave of those who set up the rules of the monetary system and who will not even appreciate you hard work.

Parent-Child Relationship.
He struggles to impress his parents.
He gave up his dream career for what his parents wanted.
His parents believe their child is their property, so he had no choice.
They ended up fighting a lot.
The kid eventually breaks free and follow his own path.
/You wouldn't even recognize me anymore/Not that you knew me back then/
The past becomes a memory of struggle.
In the end it doesn't even matter. -
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

Im pretty sure I'm right but whatever
I think this song is about Mario
You see, I think This is when he got really far in a mario game but before he fought bowser he fell down a hole. And when he sayd time is a valuable thing, it is in mario.
this is jut a complete random guess -
For me song means this (1)((It starts with)
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) means that the two artists in the song represent two frendz who got split due to a certain reasons and tell their story (2) (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
Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know
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) means now they feel that it (friendship) was a waste of time as they believe the y wasted time watching each other go n they tried to hide this fact but can't and now it all is a old memory (3)(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) it means that they went a long way being frendz but it was all in vein they tried to prevent it but could'nt. To keep their friendship he acted like he was his pet,property and though they fought he thinks, then also they remained friends . But thinks have changed now he has become so diffrent person that be recognised with the person he was before.You knew me back then, but now our friendship comes backs me. Though you tried to hide it all but it was known and now in the end it does'nt matter. (4)(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)it means that he use to trust him blindly but that truth was shattered and he want to tell him this but it's all over.........
and if you have seen the video, it starts at a place like underworld, it depicts that by breaking their friendship the've made their lives like hell and are alone. As vegetation grows and rain comes their, it tells that life replenish itself later
