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 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 edgeYour truth’s not rigid, your rules aren’t fair
The dark’s too vivid, the light’s not there
I start to give in, but I can’t bear
To put it all behind, I run into it blind likeTwo faced
Caught in the middle
Caught in the middle
Too late
Counting to zero
Counting to zero
You should have recognized
It’s too late for choosing sides
Two faced
Caught in the middle
Caught in the middle
Two facedLast time you told me it wasn’t true
And pointing every finger at things that you didn’t do
So that’s why I kept missing the clues
And never realized that the one that did it was youYour truth’s not rigid, your rules aren’t fair
The dark’s too vivid, the light’s not there
I start to give in, but I can’t bear
To put it all behind, I run into it blind likeTwo faced
Caught in the middle
Caught in the middle
Too late
Counting to zero
Counting to zero
You should have recognized
It’s too late for choosing sides
Two faced
Caught in the middle
Caught in the middle
Two facedI can’t hear myself think
Stop yelling at me
