“When they come for me” – Linkin Park (2010)


This blog will be about my very own candid (at times silly) opinions on the lyrics of Thamizh (tamil) and English songs out there… and at times, my own.
I’m gonna start this blog with one of my recent favourites - ”When they come for me” from Linkin Park’s ‘A Thousand Suns’ (2010).
My comments?
I think it’s kind of neat and lays out a few ground rules for this blog. :)
(PS: Please don't mind the swear words)
Album: A Thousand Suns
Lyrics:
Yeah.
I am not - a pattern to be followed.
The pill that I am on is a tough one to swallow.
I am not a criminal, not a role model,
Not a born leader - I am a tough act to follow!
I am not the fortune and the fame…
Nor the same person telling you to forfeit the game.
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain…
and I found out the underbelly’s sicker than it seems
And it seems ugly, but it can get worse,
Coz even a blueprint is a gift and a curse!
Coz once you got the theory of how the thing works,
Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first
And I am not a robot,
I am not a monkey.
I will not dance even if the beat’s funky!
Opposite of lazy, far from a punk…
Y’all ought to stop talking, start trying to catch up *****
And all the people say… <aah>
Try to catch up *****… <aah>
Lauryn said money changes situation.
Big said it increased the complication.
Kane said, ‘don’t stab, I ain’t the one!’
Chuck said that Uzi weigh a *****ing ton…
And I am just a student of the game that they taught me
Rocking every stage in every place that they brought me
I’m awfully underrated, but came here to correct it
And so it ain’t mistaking i’m a state it for the record
I am the opposite of whack
Opposite of weak
Opposite of slack
Synonym of heat
Synonym of crack
Closest to a peak
Far from a punk
Y’all ought to stop talking, start trying to catch up *****
And all the people say <aah>
Try to catch up ***** <aah>
Oh when they come for me…
Come for me,
I’ll be gone!
Oh when they come for me…
Come for me,
I’ll be gone!
Oh when they come for me…
Come for me,
I’ll be gone…
And all the people say<aah>
Try to catch up ***** <aah>
And all the people say <aah>
Try to catch up ***** <eh oh oh>


PS: Slight editing done coz' last I heard, children visit this blog! (Yea, I know)
