C'mon, just look at the insight of these wonderful rhymes. Now, some of you may not understand these, but that is because your simple minds listen to manufactured POP music. Linkin Park, although manufactured, are good because they're METAL, which means they're much cooler than Steps and the like. For you silly people, I have anylysed the lyrics.
Here we go...
By Myself
What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
This is about someone walking along a street, being followed by some unscrupulous types. The singer is wondering if he should carry on walking with his eyes closed (If I can't see them then they can't see me), or if he should do nothing because the people behind him are just dreams.
Do I sit here and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness,
Now, the singer is debating about wheather or not he should go and try to catch the muggers red handed, risking looking like a fool if they are actually dreams. This is so relevent to modern life - I mean, think of all the times you get followed by muggers that you think might be dreams!
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I'm lost within
I put on my daily façade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself (Myself)
This is really clever, because it's about a completely different subject. This subtlely relates to how modern life is always changeing, sometimes mid-verse.
Pre chorus:
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on
Then they'll take from me 'till everything is gone
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer
(By myself)
Pre chorus
Chorus
How do you think I've lost so much
I'm so afraid, I'm out of touch
How do you expect I will know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to
Don't you know
I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try
I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside
Chorus (2x)
Just read them. Dont they rule?

LOL!
I wasn't being serious, BTW. Linkin Parks lyrics are some of the worst I have ever heard.
Which you might have understood if you read it.

Linkin Park metal? I hardly think so there like steps with guitars.
The lead singer looks like that geezer out of NSYNC, there a bunch of namby pamby Nu Metal.
Why there so unhappy I really can't imagine, there getting payed for screaming, if I was getting payed for the noise they make then I would me over the moon.
CRAWLING IN MY SKIN THESE WOUNDS THEY NEVER HEAL
*smacks NSYNC guy over the head with a frying pan*
cheer up mate your getting paid for this crap

I have already insulted Linkin Park enough in some geezers (maybe Mouldy Cheese) review of their album, so I won't bother again.
Moudly Cheese, I must say that I agree with you here. I am pleased that there is at least one other Linkin Park fan among us. Their lyrics are excellent and By Myself is an excellent example of the kind of lyrics they spit out. Some may call it "depressing" but it is anything but that. Just listen to Place For My Head. An excellent song with some wicked guitar riffs and brilliant vocals. Linkin Park have the novelty (and rarity) of having two singers, something of which I've never seen before. They are also the first band I had ever seen to be equipped with a mixer, unless I'm a blind idiot. Linkin Park have been branded "sell-outs" or "bandwagon jumpers" but I thnk they are far from it. Linkin Park should get the respect they deserve. If you want to know what New Metal is like, then by their album, Hyrbid Theory - an excellent album by the way.
Thanks for reading.
