There’s an emptiness tonight, a hole that wasn’t there before and I keep reaching for the light, but I can’t find it anymore
Così inizia il nuovo brano dei Linkin Park, dedicato al frontman della band Chester Bennington che si è tolto la vita lo scorso luglio, spezzando i cuori di tutti. La canzone è stata scritta da Mike Shinoda appena otto giorni prima del concerto tributo dello scorso sabato, dove la ha presentata al pubblico. Prima di adesso non era riuscito nemmeno a comporre la sua amata musica, tanto era distrutto dalla morte dell’amico.
Una esibizione toccante e carica di emozioni quella di Shinoda all’Hollywood Bowl, che è salito sul palco insieme a tanti ospiti legati alla band e al loro leader.
Testo:
There’s an emptiness tonight
A hole that wasn’t there before
And I keep reaching for the light
But I can’t find it anymore
There’s an emptiness tonight
A heavy hand that pulls me down
They say it’s gonna be alright
But can’t begin to tell me how
And I ask myself out loud
Have I been lost all along?
Was there something I could say
Or something I should not have done?
Was I lost all along?
Was I looking for an answer
When there never really was one?
Was I looking for an answer
When there never really was one?
Is there sunshine where you are?
The way there was when you were here
‘Cause I’m just sitting in the dark
In disbelief that this is real
In disbelief that this is real
Have I been lost all along?
Was there something I could say
Or something I should not have done?
Was I lost all along?
Was I looking for an answer
When there never really was one?
Was I looking for an answer
When there never really was one?
