I think what gets me most about this song is that there are so many emotions and experiences that can be so complicated and frustrating to put into words but some things are so universal and powerful that you can be a total booger and so long as you feel the emotion totally you can make a song that gets through. Iced Earth are absolutely total boogers but their melodramatic nonsense still carries through the emotion of loss when it's clearly felt. Every time I listen to this song I think about the one real friend I have and how I can believe that one day he'll be done with all of this and decide that he can't take any more and then I'll be stuck here alone listening to this song and hoping atheism is wrong and one day I'll be gone too and he'll pull up in his car and we'll go play disc golf and drink beers without caring about the rest of the world and its indifference to being awkward.

I got'chu fam. When I need to connect with my deepest feelings of loss, I throw on some Creed. It reminds of shooting b-ball after school with my pals on the playground where I spent my days.

****ing obvious lies. You should feel ashamed at playing basketball to Creed.

Lel. On a different note, when I actually was in 5th grade on the playground, one of the teachers pulled out Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory album and all the kids on the court sang along in unison to 'In The End'. Was the funniest **** ever.

I'll piggyback this anecdote with one of my own. I was camping in Acadia two summers ago and the campground next to us on the final night was occupied but about twelve college aged kids who all slept in one big tent. They set it up and I thought they were definitely gunna be dropping acid and f*ck each other all night but I had my doubts after dinner when one of the dudes whose name is probably Kieran or something whipped out a guitar and they all started singing Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" in unison. They played a few more songs I didn't recognize and finished it off with Linkin Park's "In the End". I think they actually might have been a religious retreat or something but it was weiiiirddd....

Nah I didn't listen to that poseur ****. I listened to Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, and Disturbed. You know, real music, unlike that Linkin Park junk.

My Linkin Park story is that I thought their name was "Lincoln Park."
