Ironically, this song inspires me to actually take blame and quit running from my past. To not run but face it all. To not become a person that runs when things get rough.
It's easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It's so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone Something has been taken from deep inside of me A secret I've kept locked away No one can ever see Wounds so deep they never show They never go away Like moving pictures in my head For years and years they've played If I could change I would take back the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made I would If I could stand up and take the blame I would If I could take all the shame to the grave I would If I could change I would take back the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made I would If I could stand up and take the blame I would I would take all the shame to the grave It's easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It's so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back And never moving forward so there'd never be a past If I could change I would take back the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made I would If I could stand up and take the blame I would If I could take all the shame to the grave I would If I could change I would take back the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made I would If I could stand up and take the blame I would I would take all the shame to the grave Just washing it aside All of the helplessness inside Pretending I don't feel misplaced Is so much simpler than change It's easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It's so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone It's easier to run If I could change I would take back the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made It's easier to go If I could change I would take back the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made I would If I could stand up and take the blame I would I would take all the shame to the grave
I'm crying non stop to this song pray I can stop crying there so much pain in my soul I want to run from everyone an thing how do I stop the pain??,I can't live life
"if I could change, I would, take all the pain, I would, trace every wrong move that I made I would, if I could stand up and take the blame I would, I would take all my shame to the grave" how many of us listening to this track since we were 13 feel these lines hit so much harder now that we're all grown adults?
It hits harder for me because I learned years later about chesters high school experiences and sexual abuse. At the time I thought they were living their dream like lucky people but that’s far from the truth except for his band mates they seemed fine. In the end it’s so much better to know the truth than staying delusional These songs take you back to the time of its era I was fortunate at that the time to live in a safe environment but I feel sad that some people like Chester didn’t have that environment and this is evidence why we must be aware of sexual abuse rather than just hiding it. It was really brave for him to talk about it.
April7th23 is when I write this About to stop running away and make a life for myself. I’ll come back to this song from time to time and I want it to be known, it has helped me every time. Thank you to 20 years. This being released today was the best thing to happen and keep me grounded during these lonely times.
goddamn. this song will always be so deeply personal to me. And it still hits me in the feels to this day. I don't think i could articulate exactly how much this song means to me, even if I tried, because it's just one of those things that requires too many words, too much of my history that i'd rather not talk about. But this song was so instrumental to my growth as a person, so important to me, and it helped me get through so much stuff i had no clue how to deal with. This album was like therapy to me, and i can recall even now exactly how I felt listening to it, because it was the first time I heard music that made me feel SEEN. It was the first time I connected to music in that way, because it was like this band was putting into words all these things I didn't know how to say, and couldn't say to anyone, because I had no one. LP was there for me when I desperately needed someone to talk to, someone to understand me. And it's not an exaggeration to say that they helped save me life when I was going through some of my darkest times in my life. I'll forever be grateful for that. Chester might not be with us anymore, but his legacy absolutely lives on. In me, and in every person whose lives were touched by LP's music. There are people like me who are still in this world because of this band, and wherever Chester is, I hope he knows how much he meant to every single one of us. I hope every member of this band knows just how much of an impact they had on so many people.
Thank you for sharing. You really describe the importance of art. I’m so glad it saved your life. It’s saving mine now, at age 34. Rediscovering this album is blowing my mind and validating my wounds I am now looking at. It makes it feel okay to feel so dark. It is helping me move through the emotions without shame.
@@the.kai.eros.experience we're all human and feel things, right? we all go through hard stuff in life, so why should we feel any shame about having a hard time dealing with it? find me one person who's never had to struggle. that person doesn't exist, and even if they SEEM like they do, it's just because they're better at pretending is all. the best thing you can do for yourself, is give yourself permission to be hurt. it's okay to feel those things. it's okay to struggle. what matters isn't being perfect or "not struggling." what matters is that you find a way to heal. and even that looks different for everyone. as long as you find what works for you and helps YOU, so that you can heal from whatever wounds you have, that's the only part that matters. not what anyone else thinks.
The first time I heard this song together with my december, they immediately became one of my favourites. I was much younger, those were the times when I seriously only had Linkin Park in my ears since I heard them for the first time. They are among the ones I listen to most often even today
This song is one of my favourite. The fact that Chester only performed it live once in his career just because after that Chris Cornell asked him to never perform this song again. From my point of view this song does explains his pain but also promotes escapism. Escaping from pain just because it's hard to bear it all alone, instead of fighting it off.
Linkin Park will always be the most special band to me. The music is relatable, beautiful, meaningful, and just all around amazing in general. The first time I ever sang for an audience I chose the song Burning in the Skies to sing in a talent show in high school. Chester truly was an inspiration to me. Thank you for all the great music and helping me with severe depression. I know you never knew I existed but you really helped me so much. Mike should keep up his awesome work too.
Inacreditável como a banda é foda. Cada música você pensa: A, essa é uma das melhores. A verdade é que todas são de um nível altíssimo de perfeição. Absolutamente insano.
2:19 This part man... I can't relate to any song as much as I can to this song. *Just washing it aside* *All of the helplessness inside* *Pretending I don't feel misplaced* *Is so much easier than change*
"Just washing it aside,All of my helplessness inside,Pretending I don't feel misplaced,Is so much simpler than change" 21 Years later....and still the most fitting Lyrics I ever heard. This Song is so heavily underrated, imo the best Meteora Song BIGTIME
This song is truly special, when I heard it the first time 20 years back I was like - nice song but that's all - it was not my favourite song. Nearly 20 years later, this song saved me one night. There was a misunderstanding with my best friend, she was like I won't talk to you from tomorrow. At that point of time, the only thing that came to my mind was - I had broken her trust unintentionally, but even she is not at fault for scolding me. She was crying, and I had also started crying by the time the call ended. And then I remembered that she was a Linkin Park fan just like me. This was the song that came to my mind before anything else, recorded it and sent it to her. She loved it and the misunderstanding got reconciled that night itself. I thank Linkin Park for saving two suicidal people that night - me and my best friend.
It's easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It's so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone Something has been taken from deep inside of me A secret I've kept locked away No one can ever see Wounds so deep they never show They never go away Like moving pictures in my head For years and years they've played If I could change I would take back the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made I would If I could stand up and take the blame I would If I could take all the shame to the grave I would If I could change I would take back the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made I would If I could stand up and take the blame I would I would take all the shame to the grave It's easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It's so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back And never moving forward so there'd never be a past If I could change I would take back the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made I would If I could stand up and take the blame I would If I could take all the shame to the grave I would If I could change I would take back the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made I would If I could stand up and take the blame I would I would take all the shame to the grave Just washing it aside All of the helplessness inside Pretending I don't feel misplaced Is so much simpler than change It's easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It's so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone It's easier to run If I could change I would take back the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made It's easier to go If I could change I would take back the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made I would If I could stand up and take the blame I would I would take all the shame to the grave

You’re running from the present all the time not the past. The past is already there permanent
One of LP's most underrated tracks right here.
Yeahh
Agreed 100%
That always was my the best song.
I agree
Agreed🤘🖤 i always loved it❤
i cant imagine my life without linkin park
Foreword best meteora intro ever. Legendary songs ever !
Neither can i
Правда, хоть я их и слушаю всего почти 2 года но тоже не могу провести день не слушав их музыки
Agree with you
Love this song so much
Hands down my favorite song in Meteora, very underrated song.
Heavily agreed!
The beginning is close to perfection.
It’s my favorite song! Out of all songs. Amazing very depressing, strong lyrics. Easier to Run ! Song could have been called “Easier To Go”
Figure 09 is also underrated
Foreword best meteora intro ever. Legendary songs ever !
I started understanding lyrics to this song 14 years later because i learned english, and it hits heavy.
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken from deep inside of me
A secret I've kept locked away
No one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show
They never go away
Like moving pictures in my head
For years and years they've played
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all the shame to the grave
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there'd never be a past
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all the shame to the grave
Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
Is so much simpler than change
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
It's easier to run
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made
It's easier to go
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all the shame to the grave
Thanks for the lyrics 😊
I'm crying non stop to this song pray I can stop crying there so much pain in my soul I want to run from everyone an thing how do I stop the pain??,I can't live life
Isn’t he singing my shame?
"if I could change, I would, take all the pain, I would, trace every wrong move that I made I would, if I could stand up and take the blame I would, I would take all my shame to the grave"

My absolute favourite Linkin Park track ever. So much raw emotion, so melancholic, and beautifully melodic. RIP Chester

its been a year. any updates?
This band is the reason why I've been aware of my darkness and depression. Man do I love this band more than anything.
This song is just lyrically amazing!
Rip chester Bennington you ignited a passion in our hearts you will always be missed and never forgotten
One of my favorite songs. This one was so hard for Chester to sing though. It breaks my heart to know everything he went through.
One of the most beautiful bridge ever done by LP, favorite song right here
The bridge is epic. I like can’t handle how perfect it is. The lyrics and his angst… so powerful…
goddamn. this song will always be so deeply personal to me. And it still hits me in the feels to this day.

@@bottomofastairwell beautifully said. Thank you, friend.
Always loved that final guitar strum
me too lol
YES
The first time I heard this song together with my december, they immediately became one of my favourites.
I was much younger, those were the times when I seriously only had Linkin Park in my ears since I heard them for the first time.
They are among the ones I listen to most often even today
Still can't believe this was never released as a single! Easily one of the best tracks from this album.
Once again, thank you Linkin Park for the masterpiece you guys brought. Meteora was my gateway to heavy music.
It's about time to shine, one of the most beautiful songs of Meteora
this is the most underrated song of LP. I've spent so much time listening to this song before, and rereleasing it is bringing so many memories back. ❤
This song is one of my favourite.
The fact that Chester only performed it live once in his career just because after that Chris Cornell asked him to never perform this song again.
From my point of view this song does explains his pain but also promotes escapism. Escaping from pain just because it's hard to bear it all alone, instead of fighting it off.
Definitely the best Meteora song for me. I hope I can face all that pain that I have on me at some point and move on. Thank you very much LP
Самая любимая песня. И самая, наверное, недооцененная. Каждый раз, как слышу, душа пульсировать начинает.
полностью согласен
And the tears too
Абсолютно согласен бро!!!
intro of this song placed somewhere in my brain for ever ⚡🌪️🤟
This is my favroute linkinpark song
most underrated song on the album by far
The most underrated song from Meteora
Definitely underrated and needs more views! What an absolutely amazing song!
This song breaks my heart...but it also helps me getting back onto my feet
Linkin Park will always be the most special band to me. The music is relatable, beautiful, meaningful, and just all around amazing in general. The first time I ever sang for an audience I chose the song Burning in the Skies to sing in a talent show in high school. Chester truly was an inspiration to me. Thank you for all the great music and helping me with severe depression. I know you never knew I existed but you really helped me so much. Mike should keep up his awesome work too.
knew this was going to be fire before i even got 10 secs into it what a great song
This is one of those songs that if you didn't listen to it for a very long time, you still know all the words.
This will be always one of my favourite songs
LP is one best thing that ever happened to mankind.
Definitely one of my favorites
Inacreditável como a banda é foda.
Cada música você pensa: A, essa é uma das melhores. A verdade é que todas são de um nível altíssimo de perfeição.
Absolutamente insano.
This Song is one of the best songs of the History, and of the Linkin park history
Одна из моих любимых песен
Покойся с миром, Честер
Mi cancion favorita de linkin park
One of my favs ❤
Nokia phone with wired headphones listening to this and other lp songs, bring back memories 😊
Foreword best meteora intro ever. Legendary songs ever !
These lyrics keeps feeling, like someone did really understand...❤
бл....как в юности....не думал,что вновь испытаю тех чувст....спасибо,братья....вы наша семья
"Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
Is so much simpler than change"
2:20 the hit part of the song
“Never moving forward so there’d never be a past”
2:19 This part man... I can't relate to any song as much as I can to this song.
*Just washing it aside*
*All of the helplessness inside*
*Pretending I don't feel misplaced*
*Is so much easier than change*
Nah fr 💯
its easier for chester to run... he take his pain to the grave...
but we need you chester!! 😢
A musica mais triste do Linkin Park, minha opinião e vamos ouvir mais e mais LP!
So many forgotten songs out there!
Not necessarily forgotten.
"Just washing it aside,All of my helplessness inside,Pretending I don't feel misplaced,Is so much simpler than change" 21 Years later....and still the most fitting Lyrics I ever heard. This Song is so heavily underrated, imo the best Meteora Song BIGTIME
I knew the version of this song you uploaded before sounded kinda iffy
this sounds exactly like the one in the album
Song number 6 of the best album in the world!
I love this Track so much... Probably my fav on the whole album
i love how the video is thematic to the song, the illusion of someone always running away ambiguously
Aquela música que te faz viajar nos pensamentos ❤️🤘🏼🔥
This song is truly special, when I heard it the first time 20 years back I was like - nice song but that's all - it was not my favourite song.
Nearly 20 years later, this song saved me one night.

I thank Linkin Park for saving two suicidal people that night - me and my best friend.
Finally out in good quality!
The opening instrumental of this song is so special. I just don’t know how to explain it.
This song is one of my favourite song in Linkin Park. Easier to Run 👍
Well another legendary song
Linkin Park forever
If I could change, I would but I don't need to because of LP. They have changed me in such an impactful way, I can't imagine my life without them now
I love, love, love this song...since Meteora first came out!
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken from deep inside of me
A secret I've kept locked away
No one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show
They never go away
Like moving pictures in my head
For years and years they've played
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all the shame to the grave
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there'd never be a past
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all the shame to the grave
Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
Is so much simpler than change
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
It's easier to run
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made
It's easier to go
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all the shame to the grave
❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢
this song is amazing, it gives me in the end vibes
Well I can certainly hear a bit more detail in this remaster.
