Lyrics: -Linkin Park - Breaking the Habbit-

 

 

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

 

[bridge:]

I don't want to be the one

The battles always choose

'Cause inside I realize

That I'm the one confused

 

[Chorus:]

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

 

[bridge:]

I dont want to be the one

The battles always choose

'Cause inside I realize

That I'm the one confused

 

[Chorus:]

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

 

[bridge:]

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

 

[Chorus:]

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

 

 

 

 

I personally think this song is about his hardship "Breaking the Habbit" with drugs eg. cocaine. To me when he says "Im safe in my room" it means that he is safe from the outside world therefore he is safe from drugs because he is out of reach for them, unless he leaves the room. "I dont want to be one, the battles always choose" during the time of his rehab he has a choice wether to take the drugs or not and "Inside i realize, im the one confused" meaning he is unable to decide right from wrong and unable to make a decision on wether to take the drugs.
