Linkin Park have one more song to share ahead of their From Zero album release called “Two-Faced.” The hard-rocking song appears to be the last preview track ahead of the new record and it’s stirring up some serious nostalgic Linkin Park vibes.
Linkin Park Debut “Two-Faced”
Like many Linkin Park songs, “Two-Faced” delves into relationship territory. In this case, it’s about coming to the realization that you may not be on the same page as your partner and the blame likely falls in their court.
“Last time, I was hanging by a thread / Trying to say I’m not but I’m in it over my head / That’s when I figured out where it led / Beginning to realize that you put me over the edge,” sings Mike Shinoda at one point in the song.
Meanwhile, Emily Armstrong’s anguish over the situation at hand is felt through her powerful vocals in the bridge. The repetition of the line “I can’t hear myself think” is brought to its conclusion with the belting “Stop yelling at me” that feels every bit as powerful as Chester Bennington’s “Shut up when I’m talking to you” declaration.
Check out the song and lyrics below.
Linkin Park, “Two-Faced”
Linkin Park, “Two-Faced” Lyrics
Get right
Last time I was hanging by a threadTrying to say I’m not but I’m in it over my headThat’s when I figured out where it ledBeginning to realize that you put me over the edge
Your truth’s not rigid, your rules aren’t fairThe dark’s too vivid, the light’s not thereI start to give in, but I can’t bearTo put it all behind, I run into it blind like
Two facedCaught in the middleCaught in the middleToo lateCounting to zeroCounting to zeroYou should have recognizedIt’s too late for choosing sidesTwo facedCaught in the middleCaught in the middleTwo faced
Last time you told me it wasn’t trueAnd pointing every finger at things that you didn’t doSo that’s why I kept missing the cluesAnd never realized that the one that did it was you
Your truth’s not rigid, your rules aren’t fairThe dark’s too vivid, the light’s not thereI start to give in, but I can’t bearTo put it all behind, I run into it blind like
Two facedCaught in the middleCaught in the middleToo lateCounting to zeroCounting to zeroYou should have recognizedIt’s too late for choosing sidesTwo facedCaught in the middleCaught in the middleTwo faced
I can’t hear myself think
Stop yelling at me
