Related Material - Belonging Somewhere I Belong - Linkin Park The song “Somewhere I Belong” is about a person who feels out of place and alone. This person has nothing to say and it’s his fault. The one thing he wants is to find a place where he belongs. The main issue in this poem is about depression and it is conveyed through underlying messages and the tone. The person in this song is depressed because he doesn’t fit in and even starts to blame himself. “i wanna heal i wanna feel what i thought was never real i wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long. erase all the pain til its gone i wanna heal i wanna feel like im close to something real. i wanna find something ive wanted all along somewhere i belong” These lyrics could suggest that the singer is reaching out and explaining what he has been longing for, or something that he has needed in his lifetime. “I wanna let go of the pain ive felt so long” could be an indication that he was abused as a child and never felt like he hadn’t belong. “ It is not the way i had imagined it all in my mind”, The singer could be explaining that as a child he picked a path which he thought would become good in the end but made him more miserable and depressed They have nothing left to say they are surprised that they have made it this far and its not the way they thought it would be they have no optimism left because they don’t know why everyone is looking at them differently they feel like its all down hill and nothing will get better and its all their faultThis part is about healing... doing it on their own they and fixing what was wrong they are trying to find themselves and try to fit in to a group or belong to something which makes them feel wanted. “i will never be anything til i break away from me, i will break away. ill find myself today” The song could be explaining one persons struggle with drugs, which they could have been in a relationship or friendships which the drugs have destroyed and now they feel alone and depressed and has to fight to try and break away from his addiction so he can belong to society without people looking down on him. Somewhere I Belong - Linkin Park Lyrics - Belonging [Verse 1] I had nothing to say and i get lost in the nothingness inside of me (i was confused) and i live it all out to find, but im not the only person wit these things in mind (inside of me) but all that they can see the words revealed is the only real thing that i got left to feel (nothing to lose) just stuck hollow and alone and the fault is my own and the fault is my own [Chorus] i wanna heal i wanna feel what i thought was never real i wanna let go of the pain ive felt so long. erase all the pain til its gone i wanna heal i wanna feel like im close to something real. i wanna find something ive wanted all along somewhere i belong and i got nothing to say. i cant believe i didnt fall right down on my face (i was confused) look at everywhere only to find. it is not the way i had imagined it all in my mind. (so what am i) what do i have but negativity cuz i cant trust no one by the way everyone is looking at me (nothing to lose) nothing to gain im hollow and alone and the fault is my own and the fault is my own [repeat chorus] [Verse 3] (Chester) I will never know myself until i do this on my own cuz i will never feel anything else until my wounds are healed i will never be anything til i break away from me i will break away. ill find myself today [repeat chorus]
