Running From My Shadow (feat. grandson) | Lyrics
Wanna know where I don’t go
When it goes from OK to a oh no
When it goes from hi five to a low blow
When it goes from all five to a solo
Lemme tell you what you don’t know
I been down / so low / I was
Looking for something but denying that I found it
There’s an elephant sitting in the room
And I can’t find another way to tiptoe around it
I been doing greater good for a long time
But I can’t find any other way to give now
I been putting myself on the sideline
And it’s been time so I’m saying can I live now
There are times when I kick myself
Say I’m not sick but I can’t get well
Say I got this while I chase my tail
As if they can’t tell
I'm running from my shadow
Running from my shadow but it’s still there chasing me down
I’ll never win the battle
Never win the battle and I should have known it by now
Just when I think I’ve found the end / ohhh
I’m going back around again / ohhh
Running from my shadow
Running from my shadow but it’s still there chasing me down
Light side’s got a dark side to it
Daytime flows into night like fluid
The yin and the yang with a curved line through it
And none of it’s illuminating why I do it
Maybe I didn’t want to chase what was not right
Maybe I didn’t want to face you were offsides
Thinking I was far away from a crossed line
But I was giving soft praise to a hard lie
There are things that you say and you don’t say
My tongue’s gotten real tired of me biting it
‘Cause I keep on following the wrong way
Time’s come and I can’t keep denying it
There are times when I kick myself
Say I’m not sick but I can’t get well
Say I got this while I chase my tail
As if they can’t tell
I'm running from my shadow
Running from my shadow but it’s still there chasing me down
I’ll never win the battle
Never win the battle and I should have known it by now
Just when I think I’ve found the end / ohhh
I’m going back around again / ohhh
Running from my shadow
Running from my shadow but it’s still there chasing me down
I love you but I know / I gotta let you go
Dancing with the devil cause she’s all I’ve ever known
Wanted to pretend / That this time was the end
Sorry but I guess I gotta let you down again
Again
Again
Running from my shadow now my shadow is my only friend
Running from my shadow
But it’s still there chasing me down
Running from my shadow
Running from my shadow but it’s still there chasing me down
This is so powerful.
Here me be your first comment
Cuz its real Hip Hop😏
Mike Shinoda is ageless. This song is amazing. I hope his solo career will be successful.
I think it already is.
Justine Zeta its going great just wish he'd stay with the rest of the guys
Meaghan Comwell agreed but that’s not what we originally were talking about. His solo success is still currently establishing itself
Isn’t he already really successsful??? 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Justine Zeta of course it's going to be!!! Just wish this solo career never happened if u know what I mean R.I.P. Chester
This is better than anything I anticipated when I first heard the snippets.
Absolutely amazing. Beyond excited for the album.
BLAZE AUDIO Me too, all the songs that Mike has been made recently have been top notch, cannot wait for the album as well, is going to be great!
Hey blaze. Looking forward for a new project with post traumatic man. I've been following your shit ever since. Keep making your stuff man. They are all lit. Excited. Never thought I'll catch you here 😂
You here? Amazing! :P
How long til you mix it Blaze? I'll be waiting ;-)
BLAZE AUDIO
Linkin Park - Best band ever
BLAZE AUDIO - Best LP mixes and collabs ever
I feel like Shinoda is tremendously underrated as a lyricist.
Also as a rapper
from linkinpark to solo, the lyrics is about human journey. not materialistic/consumer glam/flex driven
i disagree bcs anyone who knows anything about linkin park know he wrote the majority of their songs. lyrically and musically and their lyrics are known as some of the best in rock. yeah no one really gave his writing the lime light in the mainstream bcs everyone assumes the singer writes it all, i know chester wrote his fair few and wrote with mike too.
@@kyloforshaw8400 Nah a lot of people dont know what he did for LP. But i think the guy who wrote the comment meant that he is underrated as Mike Shinoda not as a member of LP.
and producer and creator of songs, great music. So much diversity in his songs, melodically, rhythmically, lyrics. So underrated!
seeing mike on his knees and then standing proud its the most bitersweet thing i have seen
This is everything I've been waiting for. For years and years. He's officially back.
SouL Animation agreed that was my first thoughts "hey look who came back to the show"
Got it crackin', back in black. Yeah, he's got us thunderstruck. ;)
Zilla Vanilla LOL Well played! :)
SouL Animation elephant in the room is real thing and after hearing this I am so in agreement with you. LP. Has been my number one over Slipknot(I'm from Iowa) for 19 years since 1999 they played one week after Limp Bizkit Napster free tour in kcity Missouri . I happen Ed upon them like it was supercharged over the radio too. ..thanks I am a fanatic too . Age 46.
He was always there buddy. You are just dont know him.
Mike is unstoppable.
Totally ❤
There is no LP without Chester. But also.... There is no LP Without Mike. There is no LP without Hahn. There is no LP without Brad. There is no LP without Dave. There is no LP without Rob. All of You are equal in My eyes. LP was and still is the best band ever to exist. Thank You all for that
Agreed 1000¹⁰⁰/%
❤❤❤
Damn true ❤
I concur
Stop.
This man knows how to write a song.
Only likes, no comments.
:D
You realised that a little late my mate
"There's an elephant sitting in my room"😂. Yeah okay you're right he is awesome
@@dsabbas1 you're such a dumbass
I can't say that this man is so talented or genius or whatever...because I can't describe this man with these few words. I've been following his every recent single and every time he dropped something, I was like 'okay this is gonna be my most favorite track from post-traumatic', but no...his music keeps evolving and every song is better than the previous one. And this is what Mike Shinoda is!! And this is why we love him more!!!
Humayera Afia LOVE HIM MORE :(
Chester will always be loved more to me . The reason mike is making these songs right now and family stuff too. Hes actually crying inside that his best friend hung himself and i still cry when i hear his name :(
we all want chester back even Mike
I read the first sentence and was ready to reply with a whole damn essay on why he is a talented genius lmao but i kept on reading
I fully agree
IJF Shiai imma sub to you now
Do you think that is better than songs like remember the name or Cigarettes ?
Adrien Michel mike is struggling hes not making those type of songs anymore. Hes sad inside cause chesters death also cause hes not able to see his family.
Mike Shinoda?
Perfectionist Artist!
My favorite songs of Mike Shinoda:
1. Running From My Shadow
2. Crossing A Line
3. Open Door
4. Ghosts
5. Promises I Can't Keep
6 . Neon Crickets
7. Hold It Together
That pfp though....it made me cry (ik it's unrelated to your topic right now but i just wanna say that i still miss him, don't worry i'm still loyal to LP and the other members)
Dont forget about I Run
Nothing makes sense anymore
@@DeltaXII Don't you mean No Roads Left?
My favorite songs of Mike Shinoda:
1. All
"When it goes from all five to a solo"
Very sad but it's true
We miss you chester, RIP
BalYEET Tjinder sad times
LP had 6 people tho
@@rishavbanerjee1371 Mike probably didn't count himself or he said all 5 because they lost Chester and didn't want to do LP rn so It's a solo now
@@cucumbercountry4634 true makes sense
Heavy from tf2 when he saw that chester pases away: waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawuwuwuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaa
Ever since I started to Linkin Park, I thought that Mike is the best rapper in the world. His energy, his gestures, they were making me feel something all the times I listened to the songs or watched the videos, you know? I'm not even into hip-hop, but I always loved Mike's parts in LP songs, Fort Minor and I am soo loving his new music
StarMintaka agreed 👏
I feel the same! :)
Yeah! Me Too! 😊 ❤️
I don't why but I love the rap in this part 0:28. This video remembers me the "Believe Me" one
Mike is the most underrated rapper and producer ever. What a genius.
Jaume Ripoll I did think of "believe me" when I saw this video
underrated BOP
true bro he is the best, rapper who can nicely sing also!
And Mike is the best!❤️🔥
Raps the verses, sings the hook, makes the beats, produces the album, makes a bad ass video. Legend
THAT BEAT IS AWESOME!!!
Yes, the beat is awesome!
HI OMAR ;D
Because of that beat I’m listening nonstop until now n future 😻
True indeed 💐
We love u Shinoda!
Vamos falar de História ? Acompanho seu canal conteúdo foda mano, Mike sempre surpreendendo!
BR 👏👏👏👏
Hehehe BR até no fim do mundo slc
He does hip-hop. He raps about meaningful things, love the dude. He's a sick emcee, sick producer, sick musician, probably one of the best overall musicians alive in terms of being able to excel at every type/aspect of music. His rapping is so lit!!! Keep makin' music Mike! And make chester proud! He's now lookin' down at you.
JB 2Shot i think the same thing BROU. Mike is already a fucking legendary MC . Now this just proves that point more even though he has nothing morebto prove
Not to mention he's a freaking amazing artist
Agreed! Well said +JB 2Shot ! :)
Glad grandson is finally getting the publicity he deserves.
Sete DiSangue ikr
Heard grandsons blood/water at chili's today when i walked in
Kinda underused tho
Hnnng ikr
Yes
Every song so far has been amazing! June 15th can't come soon enough!
Except About you
OMG TWINTENDO I LOVE YOUU
Abhik Bhaduri I think About You is one of the best. Took me a while to like it but its really grown on me
CyberShockZero Thank you 🙂
Oh hey, it's a wild Twintendo. How'd I miss this comment when the music video originally came out?
"Running from my shadow now my shadow is my only friend" was the best line
Tahrim Zaman You can Thank grandson for that
Same here
Agreed
Grandson is opening for LP's new tour!
yes!!
Gotta love Grandson, last thing I expected was him to collaborate with Mike Shinoda! Damn that's a big jump, bloody love it.
Running from my shadow now my shadow is my only friend...
My God grandson KILLED IT. Never heard of him before this song, but he's amazing. That drop and this song is fucking perfection. Mike Shinoda is an absolute genius
a live dinosaur you should listen to his song he doesn't have many but they are amazing
He has great songs with great messages.
blood water is pretty good
2:46
Agreed. This song made me a fan. I checked out the rest of his music and it’s so good
His music keeps on evolving!!
Every song is better than the previous one...
KEEP IT UP MIKE!!!😘👊
CREEPY NERD true that
CREEPY NERD he's improving every time
His music is improving but the ending of the song was mostly grandson, he always has the badass riffs in all his songs, dudes a fucking beast
This man deserves more recognition. His songs are so good
It's an art with legs.
I freakin' love this tune.
His songs are so authentic and resonating.
Chester is proud of you!
Antonio Ricardo he always will
Stranger its actually really good but people say use auto toon
NO!!!! your voice is a rare ability like mine(i dont make songs)
they arnt true fans if they ask for auto tune
Stranger then i think you should tell them that so they dont keep asking for autotune and np bro always wanted to meet a new singer. Soon ill be a new animator XD
Stranger DO BETTER????? , YOU DID GREAT!!!!!! O_O your the singer its their choice to listen to your music. These songs are your voice and the true fans are your ears and heart
Absolutely.
My respect for Grandson just spiked up.
And yea that DID felt pretty cool! I hope there's more collabs between these two from now on.
Grandson is something special. The dude takes ques from both LP and Rage Against the Machine. Have you heard the collab between grandson and tom morello from rage? it SLAPS.
@@cjsayers3346 I have not, I didn't even know about that wtf, Imma watch it right fucking now XD
Mike dont has a big community. But all the people that are here right now are real fans. 😁
ThatsMiner he does
That‘s basically true 😄 But of course, it is better to have a Community that likes him and his music rather than one that are not real fans
BimsOderDerAndere 1603 Yes youre right. 😊
I'm with him since Fort minor, believe me.
Very true
I love how Mike carries on the LP legacy! Keep it up bro
Sorry mate RIP LP
Has alot of LP vibes. I love it
wheres the rest of the band at?
Jeremy Cedillo that's what I'm questioning to
I’m so proud of Mike. He makes him own rap and never giving up.
I'm a huge linkinpark fan, including you ... You're awesome ... you're amazing
And grandson is awesome too, right?
Thank ❣️
I love Mike, if he does another collaboration. He needs to work with NF. They both would make an amazing song. If you haven't heard of NF you have to look him up. Let's get mike to notice and work with NF.
@@TheNatural2379. that would be awsome, they are my favourite rappers
@@thecraftinghero8469 Yeah mine too, I just started listen to NF, man if he had the chance to meet Mike and work with him. His outlook on the business would be great. Mike could easily show him how to handle people. Not that NF doesn't already know how to. But Mike seems like he'd really guide him. But every time I listen to NF now I think how much chester would of really liked him if they'd met. NF's music is on a different level and the lyrics have so much power. Chester would of been alive i feel today if they would of met. Just sad. R.I.P Chester and let's get mike to notice NF so they can work together.
Thank you for your Art Mike.
This is so good.
Chester would be so proud! ❤
RED ; I'm sure he is ❤😢
RED ; Yes he would have. Hell, even I'm proud of him. He's come a long way...
You inspire in a way no one can imagine, Mike. Keep it up man, we're with you on this journey.
Годы идут, а Шинода все так же продолжает делать качественные треки. TOP👍
👍👍
I'm so happy to see where he has gone since the loss of Chester. I'm sure he has a lot running through his head and that's why we are seeing such powerful songs in this album. I hope he can keep it up cause this shit is raw and real
The Linkin Park community must support Mike as much as never before.
saintjohnalabama agree😍❤️ #RunningFromMyShadow
Absolutely agree 💯 cuz that's what fam does for each other right?
Mike's FLOW!!!!😍😍😍😍😍
Stranger shut tf up
His flow has always been authentic and unieqe
Revived and better than ever before.
Chesters DEATH !!!!! 😍😍😍😍
I do like Shinoda , but can't care less about LP after Meteora. there i was waiting ages for new Fort Minor , but it did not happen.now chesters dead....and blaam we'll have new album from Shinoda....so in a way dead Chester is making this happen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mike Shinoda is so underrated
It's nice that Grandson is getting more recognition, cuz his material is great
yeah he is easily in my top 5 favorite artists
Kappa Chino thoughts and prayers is the only song that has ever sent chills down my spine.
The only song from him that was kinda eh for me was blood // water, but it grew and now it's an ok song. Everything else is just m👌sterpiece after m👌sterpiece
I usually don't comment just because I like a song, but this... wow... this was just amazing. The beat, the lyrics, the feel, everything was just right on point. Definitely going on my playlists!
Mike + Grandson = Perfect Combination 😊👌
facts
Nah Mike+Chester is perfection.
@@incognitooyy9386 ❤️
@@incognitooyy9386 oh yess RIP CHESTER
I really liked Mike and John Legend
I know, it's been nearly 6 years, since that tragic day we all got that news. But it's taken me a long time to listen to Mike's creativity again, probably because he is SO integral to the entire Linkin Park Experience. He IS the Architect of all we've enjoyed for decades. The words he spits, sings, or even had suggested that moved and influenced our views and emotions, even Chester's... are invaluable. And now with the releases of "LOST" and "Fighting Myself" out... I'm so grateful this man is alive. To help me, and others, anyday everyday. Mad Respect and Love to you Mike! These songs are helping me Today. LP Fam Forever 👊✊✌
How quick is 6 years? So so fast 😢
@@GrandIens He died in July 2017, so yes... it's Nearly Six years.
Quite a creation! Keep going Mike, your music is refreshing, great and a pure joy to listen to. It is so rare to come upon gems like your compositions - and each one being so distinctly different than the other.
Loving how grandson's style blending with mike's music, gives me chills to the max
Grandson and Mike Shinoda in one video.. I'm blown away :O
Great! For those that forgot Mike Shinoda is one of the pillar of strenght in Linking Park! Well done Mike!
Now grandson X Linkin Park !! 😱😱
Absolutely
mike and chester are real og
We love you Mike!
I like the way the whole song changes when grandson comes in.
Xantain i dont like him tbh I like the rest of the song
@@thischannelwillbedeleted5739 you know, that is why I love these type of songs though, even though you dont like grandson's vibe, this song perfectly blends the two and introduces you to thier style, same as Mike's.
@@thischannelwillbedeleted5739 You're
wrong and I hate you
Wow no need to be hostile idr like grandsons part but I'm not gonna hate on him
@@hamsacc another name for that's called alt rock or alternative rock.
Wow Mike..this is amazing!
#WeLoveYouMikeShinoda Much love and respect! #MakeChesterProud
I did, when I was watching :')
I really miss chester..😢😢
I love that Mike took Grandson to open for the new LP. I wish i heard about it earlier I would of died to go 🥺
This is seriously some of Mike's best writing and rapping in a long time imo. Hes evolving and getting better as a songwriter and emcee and it shows with every new song. And putting Grandson on a track with that monster drop? Just wow
Please dont be sad. Mike. Cheer up. Chester will be by your side for ever. Love you. Big hug.
Mike is doing so great that encourages every one who loves Chester that we should stay strong and be posstive, to do the things we love, to chase the life we want. Chester will be happy for us all. He is looking down from heaven.
2:45 This part just scratches my brain in all the right places
OHMYGOD YESSS SAMEEEE
i can't wait for this album SOOOOOO HYPE!
It's a great song no doubt but there's always this empty, void feeling which only one could have filled it. That's right, you know who I'm talking about. How I wish he was here singing the bridge right now. 😢 Miss you Chester.
Amit Brahma yor comment made me cry...😭
Screaming voice of Chester singing "RUNNING FROM MY SHADOW".
that would've been amazing.
Rock on with that flow!!!
It's official.
Shinoda is BACK!
Love from Pakistan!
Can we please have more from you Mike? Thank God for having a talent like you in our world.
I'm literally counting down the hours to June 15th, I haven't been this pumped for an album in a long time - keep it up man, this is incredible!
I don't know how many times I comeback here. Thank you so much Mike for being there when I need an uplifting.
FunFor Garienz Mike is the best😍❤️
FunFor Garienz for sure, always can feel comfort
Bruh, you're on another level. Since I first heard you on "in the end" I knew you have skillz and over the years you've continued to get better. Thanks brethren. You're appreciated.
I know Mike is doing a great job chester would be proud
This proves my theory for the last decade. If mike committed himself to it he could be a stand out solo artist
Jacob Jaramillo wow what a theory.. idiot
Love you Mike
WHEN A LEGENDARY ARTIST MAKES A LEGENDARY MUSIC, I HAVE THE CHILLZ! Thanks for always inspiring me, Mike! Fan since 2000 and still going strong! 💙
"I'm running from my shadow, now my shadow is my only friend" HOLY.. That's so good!!
Mike and Chester understand me more than any friends or family.
Earthling • they have been keeping me going since I first heard them. Ive grew up with these guys.
you're a linkin park fan all of us understand you :)
Why this is not #1 TRENDING?????
This is pure GOLD!!😍❤❤👊👌
CREEPY NERD true
Its not on youtubes agenda. They dont care about true talent.

Mike Shinoda* Linkin Park* Chester Bennington* Show some respect.
Adry squad my dear Chester 😭🌹
also
Love you Brad
Love you Joe
Love you Phoenix
Love you Rob
Hell!!! This is good. Mike Shinoda is back to making music and he is doing a damn good job. With a music scene filled with EDM and poppy beats and cheap rap stuff, Mike is holding his own and doing a damn good job. Could never hear enough of him, can never hear enough of him. Proudly an LP addict!
This album is literally blowing my mind away
The hardest part of ending is starting again 😖😖...
Good luck, Mike
So true....
R.I.P Chester Bennigton 😢😢
I wanted to let him go too, but it’s not happening and I think it won’t ever happen. Chester is in our hearts forever ❤️
Mike you’re so talented!! Once again awesome song, the whole album is a masterpiece 🙏🏼
RockNRollChick But.... It isn't even out yet...
LazarTheMaster but I love every song that is already out and I don’t think the rest of them will be any different
Its end of 2024 and I'm still running from my shadow...
hell yeah Mike, keep em' comin
well done mike so proud of you this is awesome your making chester proud
Really loved this Mike, I can hear aspects of Chester’s voice in yours, perhaps he’s coming through :) the lyrics in all your songs are really touching and real, very special, really enjoying listening :) you are like a breath of fresh air, your face is so beautiful and pure, I feel your kindness and love. Big hugs mike! Love from the uk ❤️
Jessy Rose ♥
That’s true 😊
This Mike didn't stopped creating masterpieces during the years. Congrats.
Check out grandson. He has AWSOME music. It's like Mike finds some people that fit with him. This whole album is so ficken great
So Grandson is another singer/rapper? I thought Mike was with his literal grandson, and I was like "he has a grandson?!"
Same
Please do.. his music is so good. My number one most listened to artist was grandson in 2019 according to spotify.
*frickin*
Awesome music indeed. Along with 8 Graves, Unlike Pluto, Sam Tinnesz, Adam Jensen, and Tommee Profitt. My absolute favs after LP.
Damn that beat.
THiS iS SO FiRE !! Wow LP Fan since '99. Just saw MiKE iN LA cant wait to see you again!! Keep it up my dude!
We love ya Mike
LEGENDARY RAPPER MIKE SHINODA
Spike Minoda is on fire!
Wait.... What?
Vini Feijó xD
Mark Thomas Spike Minoda is one of Mike's nicknames. I think Chester or one of the LP guys gave it to him back in the day..
Mouse-chan Xdddddd
Vini Feijó shinodaconda too 😂
Just when I thought I couldn't get any more excited for Post Traumatic 😍 🔥
Mike shinida is the purest form of eloquence . His words cut to the heart of the matter with absolute precision. No need for profanity. His ability to express how he feels in a way that is so relateble to so many is powerful. His words and music has helped me heal and brought me out of some very dark times in my life on more than a few occasions. I'm sure this is the case for many others as well . Masterful, artistic, genius.
Mike thank you for sharing your soul with us, you are such a gift to this world.
Since the release of the song I can't stop listening to it, I've been crying ever since. I know what Mike meant by that lyrics. That describes me, it is exactly so internally. I also felt intensely sad. Why God? 😭😫
its ok to cry especially when ur listening to music. It helps to get in a good mood sometime later. Unlike when u try to hide your emotions
How can each song be the best on the album?
Much respect to Mike Shinoda, and wishing him all the success. I personally love every track of this album... listening to this one, call me crazy, I probably am, but at 2:50 on I swear my mind just automatically added a few Chester screams to the track in my mind. Maybe I just wish they were there. I literally feel crazy. Love the album, Linkin Park and the guys. Great work Mike, you truly are an artist.
Melissa Pent
When you hear "Noooo, noooo, nooo" Chester screams repetitively on that part.
The whole album is amazing. It feels like your emotions and mine are put together within a mix. There is something for anybody listening to the tracks!
It is really incredible and I appreciate ever single second of the album. Unfortunatelly, it is indisputable fact that one of the best works are usually created based on traumatic experience, and I believe this is applicable in this case as well. Still, I am thankful that there are people around the world, just like you, that make something so incredible and amazing, out of something that is so sad and glum.
Thank you! Love you and your fellows!
I hope more people respect and appreciate your raps man. You've always been one of the best rappers out. People need to recognize and show respect where it's due.
Facts, he doesn’t have the lyrical word play of others but as far as lyrical content goes he is one of the best out rn.
He can rap for sure and more than most of today mumble rappers but he's not a rapper. Not saying he's bad just saying he is more a open musician than a "rapper"
Its better to say that rap is one of hes instruments because he is a multi instrumentalist , for sure guy rhas good flow and very good rap skills
Can’t wait till June 15 to see what other masterpieces this man has for us.
By the way Mike did a playlist on Apple Music which starts with a song called Blood // Water from grandson and I think that’s a great song too. And of course great playlist.
Duygu Findikci YEAH BLOOD WATER IS AMAZING
I've been follwng grandaon since beginning days.. and damn that man has talent.. go listen to his other songs as well each one hits hard.. amd this was a dream collab to come to reality ❤️
listening to this over and over again i love the chaotic "heavy metal" like ending complete chaos in the music instruments and screaming just go crazy i love this huge linkin park fan but this one .... its like one of the best thing since like forever i love mike sick raping i really missed that. If new linkin park album will sound anything like this i think we have a nice future here
grandson does a lot of chaotic heavy metal endings - check out Thoughts and Prayers, Overdose, or Blood // Water by grandson
will do
absolutely in love with his genre !!
That part was absolutely amazing, there was something so much similar to a scream.
U could always see the talent in Mike
Can't wait for more from him just brilliant
