Discover the Meaning Behind Linkin Park’s “Up From the Bottom” Lyrics

Inside it feels like I’ve been barely breathing
Feels like air is running out
Inside I’m stuck here staring at a ceiling
You put up to keep me down, down, down, down, down

Waking up without a name
Opening my eyes
Knowing nothing is the same
Circling around a drain
As I realize that there’s no one else to blame

You keep me waiting, down here, so far below
Staring up from the bottom, up from the bottom
I try escaping, but there’s nowhere to go
Staring up from the bottom, up from the bottom

Each time I hold my fist inside my pocket
Hold my breath until I’m blue
Feels like a knife pushed deep inside a socket
Bristling, listening to you, you, you, you, you

Waking up without a name
Opening my eyes
Knowing nothing’s gonna change
Circling around a drain
As I realize that there’s no one else to blame

You keep me waiting, down here, so far below
Staring up from the bottom, up from the bottom
Try escaping, but there’s nowhere to go
Staring up from the bottom, up from the bottom

Everybody out, that devil is coming
Poison on his lips, and his words mean nothing
Cruel like a mountaintop, father never loved him
Mama said he’s bad enough times that it sunk in
Everybody out, that devil is coming
Promise you the world, but he’s always bluffing
Before you even know it’s a trap you’re stuck in
He’s gone like a ghost, already off running

You keep me waiting, down here, so far below
Staring up from the bottom, up from the bottom
I try escaping, but there’s nowhere to go
Staring up from the bottom, gotta get out of here

Up from the bottom, gotta get out of here
