| I love this song...and I agree with gerdy, it needs no explaining. I love Mike's sound in this song...because it's mainly centered around him. He's got such a heavenly voice and I love how he sounds. As you would have probably guessed, I'm a Mike freak XD. | |

| To Days of the New.. He's not really talking about other bands, he's talking about other emcee's. If it's Rap Rock, or just pure rap, he's talking about how some are unoriginal and that they aren't good if they just listen to Top 40 Rap. Shinoda wanted to be a rapper, and then the guitarist did a version of Stairway to Heaven and he got the inspiration to do Rock Rap. Mike Shinoda is a rapper. The song was released before they were Linkin Park, but they were called "Hybrid Theory", a rap/rock band. | |

| i think both of you are right in your own ways, and it also sounds to me that mike is bragging ( a little) in how good and originaly fresh he is ( which is absoluletly the truth) and in a way you know, why not brag if you know that your good. as long as you dont brag to much cause that gets a lot of people to stop liking him. look what happened to eminem!! | |

| Resisting the communism? What are you on? It's basically just about their music. The "put a label on a life" part might be about how modern culture is always telling you to be unique, but punishing you if you are. Anyway, it's a good song. Anyone who hasn't heard the original one from the hybrid theory ep should download the whole ep right now (or if you're rich, buy it :D ). All the songs are really good. | |

| Download it or find it on the "one step closer" single. Anyway, the main thing that attracted me to this was the big words. Nevermind what they mean, he uses large complex words in his rap. In the mainstream rap circle, its all about short and simple rhymes, and doesn't stray very far from the main subjects of drugs, biznatches, and benzez. Here... we find something that really isn't very much deeper but is refreshing in the rhyming technique. "Sprayin’ bright day over what you might say My Blood type's Krylon Technicolor type A " When i first heard that I said to myself "That is the single coolest line ever, and I don't even know what it means." Just a damn good rap. | |

| everytime i hear this song it reminds me of communism. wit the marching and the background, and "put a label on our life" as comunists label all their people. I feel that it talks about them resisting the communism. | |

| Mainly I think that the song is mainly about Linkin Park's style and how no one can replicate it. I also think they illustrate bands that copy other bands with the lyric: "I put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones." I think that the use the lyric "the unforgettable sound" to say that their music is unique. Also it seems as if when Mike Shinoda sings in this song he sings with such clever and odd lyrics that he automatically proves that no one goes on the same level as he does. I think this song is a whimsical rhyming masterpiece. | |

| This song is similar to the song "Step Up". He's tired of fake hip hop bullshit that gets played on the radiowaves nowadays. | |

| This song is so true . not even just run dmc , i grew up on the beastie boys and there were many more bands in the 80's .. now people label music with rap and rock elements ''nu-metal'' .. that label does not exis and ive been trying to explain this to many people online but its like talking to a wall . ignorrance is bliss .. | |

| This version of the song (Three all together, truthfully. Each with a different meaning. Scary, eh'?) (I'm not canadian. >_>) "You know what I mean You could put a label on a life, Put a label on a lifestyle Sometimes... You know Put a label on how you wake up every morning And go to bed at night" Well, thats self explainitory. The media is putting a label on this shit, and trying to keep it one-sided. It can't be Rock and rap, it has to be Either Rap, or Rock. Mike's part(s), (In all three) talk about his, the band, and Chester's evolution from the different bands they were in. You ever heard any of Mike's Xero songs? They ARe bland. The same sing-song karaoke Bullshit he complains about in these. And like the rock and rap You know what I mean People act like you know Wow that’s a new invention That shits brand new We're constantly evolving It is constantly changing The Priest is talking about how most people don't realize Rock and Rap have been together. At all, at that -- But it's been here for a while. (Run DMC anyone?) There's a lot of change Everybody's always up with labels There ain’t no label for this shit They're always gonna try to put a label on it Try to create something So they can water it down As before, the media, and people are putting a label on Everything nowa-days. Quit trying to label something and make it one-sided. Chester's part (Sometimes I feel like a prophet...) is talking about how Chester qrites the songs, and each song is different. But he's under the gun, meaning he has to be careful about what he says. And how much emotion he puts in All of his work. And the band's work. "You know what I mean, you can put a label on a lifestyle" The last line represents what the entire song is about, really. It's trying to say that instead of labelling something, someone, or ...Pretty much anything, Put a label on a lifestyle. That's the thing that needs a label. Concentrate on what's important, not this shit. | |

| shoot, this version, to my opinion is better then the origional version and the one on the reanimation cd! I love this version because the music and the lyrics go tight together and my fav part is when chester does his solo..Sometimes i feel like a prophet, misunderstood, under the gun of a new disease... | |

| Pretty much everything everyone has said here is true. One thing I wanna mention is that "Akira" is in the song because that was Mike's street/nick name from when he was a teen. Plus, he and Joe really like the Anime! :) | |

| I absolutley love this song. I am commenting because some of you don't get that Linkin park was once called Hybrid Theory. They are my second favorite band. This goes with saying that METALLICA is the best band ever. This is actually one of my favorite songs by Linkin Park. Everytime I listen to it, for some weird reason, it sends chills down my spine. It actually means that everyones lifes can be the same, but nobody, absolutely nobody's dreams or styles are the same. You know? Put a label on how you wake up every morning And go to bed at night --- That's the beginning You know what I mean? You couldn't put a label on a lifestyle. --- that's the end I love it. It means style, the way you are. Like no one else. | |
