Do you also feel the same about this song like I do?
So yeah this post will be about how some music makes me feel and the band I will be talking about is Linkin Park. Yeah they have been a big part of my life since 2014 when I was entering 9th grade especially as I was bullied a lot in school but in this post I will be specifically talking about their song "In The End". Unlike many of the Meteora and Hybrid Theory songs which are tied to my school bullying, In The End is tied to something else. So this song comes in my mind when I think of something like a son or daughter rebelling against their parents when the parents are strict. I remember in very early 2016 when my 10th grade board exams(super important here in India) were approaching, my mom would often scold me thinking I wasn't serious enough about my board exams and saying how I wasn't interested in my studies and I was 15 and I remember speaking back against my mom saying her not to scold me like that and she then said "One slap I will give you". That moment I remember the song In The End came in my mind especially "I tried soooo hard and got soooo farrrr". I remember as a teenager whenever I spoke back against mom when she scolded me about my studies, in my mind it was almost as if "I tried so hard and got so far" was playing full loud. Even watching Indian movies or serials where teenagers or 20 somethings rebel against their parents, this song comes in my mind. Most common is in the movies which shows love but due to arranged marriage culture they show parents opposing their relationships and wanting them to marry someone of their choice and the scene where the men argue with their parents to convince them or just try to elope, the scene feels like a very "In The End" song moment and I imagine the chorus playing. Idk whether its because of that rebellious voice of Chester in the song.
Even as an adult, for years I felt the same and I still do now even at 25 sometimes when my mom scolds me but now its because I am job searching and no proper positive response yet and sometimes I speak back against her. I am more in my room and seeing my phone and my mom scolds me about that too for seeing phone all the time as I have myopia in my eyes. Also my need for more privacy as dad is often in home too as he works from home and both parents being there often and unable to cover song feels very "In The End" like too. This is a problem of many young Indians who live with parents. Also my want to socialize with women, meet them, even date feels very In The End too as many Indian shows and all show love stories with also rebellion. So yeah basically In The End reminds of young people in India wanting more privacy, rebelling against parents, wanting more choice for dating and other decisions etc unlike their other songs like Numb or From The Inside or Somewhere I Belong which reminds me more of the bullying from school days. So am I the only one who feels this way? Or do you feel the same too?
