Verse 1
-------
Dm F C
My insides all turn to ash, so slow.
Dm F C
And blow away as I collapsed, so cold.
Dm F C
A black winter been away, from sight.
Dm F C
Another darkness over day, that night.
----------
Pre-Chorus
----------
Bb C
And the clouds above move closer,
F C
Looking so dissatisfied.
Bb C (Dm)
But the heartless wind kept blowing and blowing.
-------
Verse 2
-------
Dm F C
I used to be my own protection, but not now.
Dm F C
'Cause my path has lost direction, somehow.
Dm F C
A black winter been away, from sight.
Dm F C
Another darkness over day, that night.
----------
Pre-Chorus
----------
Bb C
And the clouds above move closer,
F C
Looking so dissatisfied.
Bb C
And the ground below grew colder,
F C
As they put you down inside.
Bb C (Dm)
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing.
---------

To be alone

| To all of you that say this isnt Linkin Park: Wake up! Linkin Park makes whatever kind of music they want to. They always have, and always will. I for one have the exact same taste in music as they do, so I know I will never dislike anything they produce. If you wanted them to make another HT or Meteora, then maybe you should listen to Meteora and HT more. I for one was ready for some change after 7 years of rage and aggression. I have changed as a person and so have they. There is nothing wrong with them making different music, especially since it is fucking awesome. Try listening to these songs without paying attention to any of the lyrics at all. They are amazing musical masterpieces. As for this song, if this album would have been released in February I might not have been able to listen to this album ever again. On the eve of Valentines day I found out that my ex had died. She was my first and only love. I question whether Linkin Park knows my personal life when I listen to this song. I truly dont know how anyone who hasnt felt the feeling of losing someone you loved on Valentines day could ever capture that feeling with such vivid detail. Im pretty sure that it was Chester that wrote this song, and I couldnt thank him enough for giving me the feeling that Im not alone in my experience. When I thought I couldnt possibly love Linkin Park any more than I already did, they go and blow me away with an album that deserves alot of credit from alot of people. If you want to listen to a band that makes all their CDs sound the same, then go listen to Nickelback. | |

| I totally agree with phins4gish. LP has matured so much, which I think increased the average age of their base of listeners, older people tend to like this slow emotional style because it reminds them of their life experiences unlike the teens who loved the smash and shout style, not that it was bad, but it just isn't a good medium for the messages this album wants to deliver. And I also think this is cleared in the album title, minutes to midnight, as the end draws near when you feel sad and fragile, the shouts just can't get this emotion through. that's why they needed the slow *yet amazing* album. I think this album has the best LP songs ever. | |

| This is about the death of a lover. At first it seems like a broader situation of a lover leaving, but the lines "the ground below grew colder / as they put you down inside" makes it pretty clear. | |

| I have been listening to this track about 10 times now! 'cause my path has lost direction somehow' -people who have lost loved ones or thier mates to death or other things in life . It could be symbolic or literal ..you the listener makes it real to yourselves. | |

| It's the excact opposite of Hybrid Theory and Meteora because they didn't want to be rapcore/nu-metal | |

| I totally agree phins4gish. Linkin Park make whatever music they want. There is still plenty of rock/metal on this album but I really like the slow songs. One of the things I like most about Linkin Park that their lyrics and the way they sing them are understandable, unlike some other rock bands. You can actually tell what they say and the slow songs further improve upon this. | |

| hopefully this makes a little more sense ... and "now the darkness over day that night" still doesn't sound right though My insides all turned to ash So slow And blew away as I collapsed So cold A black wind took them away From sight And now the darkness over day That night And the clouds above moved closer Looking so dissatisfied But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing I used to be my own protection But not now Cause my path has lost direction Somehow A black wind took you away From sight And now the darkness over day That night And the clouds above moved closer Looking so dissatisfied And the ground below grew colder As they put you down inside But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing So now you're gone And I was wrong I never knew what it was like To be alone On a Valentine's Day (x4) On a Valentine's Day (I used to be my own protection) On a Valentine's Day (But not now) On a Valentine's Day (Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow) On a Valentine's Day (I used to be my own protection) On a Valentine's Day (But not now) On a Valentine's Day (Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow) | |

| phins4gish: Although I DO agree and understand that bands will change their music and style throughout their artistic careers, I also think that bands inevitably develop a certain vein of music that they become known for. For LP, it was the nu-metal/rock sound. Although you say that you appreciate LP's change because you are also changing in a similar way, other people are not. | |

| Chester said himself that he hated nu-metal / rapcore stuff. hence the about face in the songs. always been an LP fan got tired of meteora and hybrid theory... then minuts came out and i was like.... this is awesome... so even though my tastes changed.... i still like LP... funny aye? | |
