“Breaking The Habit” Linkin Park Lyrics

Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I’m picking me apart again
You all assume
I’m safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again

I don’t want to be the one
The battles always choose
‘Cause inside I realize
That I’m the one confused

I don’t know what’s worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don’t know why I instigate
And say what I don’t mean
I don’t know how I got this way
I know it’s not alright
So I’m breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit tonight

Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again

I don’t want to be the one
The battles always choose
‘Cause inside I realize
That I’m the one confused

I don’t know what’s worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don’t know why I instigate
And say what I don’t mean
I don’t know how I got this way
I’ll never be alright
So I’m breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit tonight

I’ll paint it on the walls
‘Cause I’m the one at fault
I’ll never fight again
And this is how it ends

I don’t know what’s worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don’t know how I got this way
I’ll never be alright
So I’m breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit tonight

Lyrical Diary: “Breaking the Habit” Linkin Park Lyrics


“Breaking The Habit” Linkin Park Lyrics. Writer(s): Mike Shinoda, Chester Charles Bennington, Joseph Hahn, Robert G. Bourdon, Brad Delson, Dave Farrell

This song was written by Mike Shinoda, who got the idea from watching a friend struggle with heroin addiction. Shinoda had some lyrical ideas for over five years, but he couldn’t fit them into a song until he altered an instrumental interlude and put those lyrics to it. Before that, he was unable to incorporate those ideas into a piece. The demo tracks, including the instrumental, were titled “Drawing,” and it was included on the Underground 9.0 album.

Another thing that influenced the band to write this song was the feedback they received from their audience, many of whom stated that listening to Linkin Park’s music helped them get through challenging periods like despair, drug addiction, poor self-esteem, and traumatic experiences.

During an interview, Mike Shinoda provided the following explanation: “Lyrically, it’s kind of just about running away from the aspects of you that you do not like.”

We would appreciate it if you could let us know as soon as possible so we can correct the mistake and update the song as soon as possible. We would love to get them corrected for our readers.

Bangla Song Lyrics – Enjoy reading lyrics and trying to do them more than just lyrics, trying to have some more me. I enjoy doing this because it allows me to express myself in a unique way that not everyone can do. It also gives me a chance to learn new things, which I appreciate.

Lyrics are a way to communicate emotions, and they can be used to entertain or provoke an emotional response in the listener. Therefore, lyricists need to use complex academic jargon to evoke a strong emotional response. They can create a connection with their listener and hopefully evoke a feeling of enjoyment or pleasure.
