“The Little Things Give You Away” Lyrics
Album: Minutes to Midnight
Artist: Linkin Park
Genre: Alternative rock
Lyrics:
Water grey
Through the windows, up the stairs
Chilling rain
Like an ocean everywhere
[Chorus]
Don’t want to reach for me do you
I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away
And now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking
All you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water
I
Do
[End Chorus]
Hope decays
Generations disappear
Washed away
As a nation simply stares
[Chorus]
Don’t want to reach for me do you
I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away
But there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking
All you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water
I
Do
All you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under ground now
I
Now I do
[End Chorus]
[Brad's Guitar Solo]
Little things give you away
Little things give you away
Little things give you away
Little things give you away
Little things give you away
(Little things give you away)
All you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
(Little things give you away)
All you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
(Little things give you away)
All you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
(Little things give you away)
All you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
(Little things give you away)
All you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
(Little things give you away)
All you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
(Little things give you away)
Album Info:
Minutes to Midnight
Minutes to Midnight stands to defend Linkin Park’s status as the hardest-rockin’ softies in mainstream music. Like its predecessors Hybrid Theory (2000) and Meteroa (2003), Minutes to Midnight flexes plenty of decibel-heavy muscle (“Given Up,” “Bleed It Out,” “No More Sorrow”) and made-to-order, melodic radio fare (“Leave Out All the Rest,” “Shadow of the Day,” “In Pieces”). But for all its volume, Linkin Park likes to paint its heart openly on its sleeve with suspicious sonic drama, as in the palpably saccharine “Valentine’s Day.” Fortunately, co-producer Rick Rubin brings all these elements to pinnacle effect with the surprise “Hands Held High.” On past efforts, the combination of breezy keyboard, arpeggiated guitar, choral vocals, and a military snare-beat would yield another slab of smarm, here MC Mike Shinoda drops the two best verses of his career, blending vocal styles with singer Chester Bennington for a moving piece that’s as welcome a repertorial addition as Linkin Park is ever likely to muster. –Jason Kirk
