Blog about your favorite song. Type out the lyrics and explain how the sounds and rhythm of the song work to enhance the meaning.  Explain why the song is important to you. 

Choosing a song for this blog took me awhile because I was debating in between five songs of my favorite songs.  I finally choose the song "Faint" by Linking Park. This song is featured in the album Meteora, which was released back in 2003.

Even though I do not listening to rap, Linkin Park does a good job incorporating rap with rock, which I like.  The rap is important because it states the theme.  The theme of the could be interpret in many different ways.  How I interpret the song can go for how a love or friendship relationship went wrong.  This song is important to me because I feel like a lot of my friendship ended poorly because a lot of these people went behind back, resulting them losing my trust. But a lot of theses 'friends' ended up of wanting to be friends again because they realize that they are needy and realize that I am a good friend.  But before I wanted to be their friends again, I tell them that they lost my trust and a lot of these people does not want to hear what I have to say.  They do turn their backs on me because they know what ever I say is true and is afraid of facing the truth.  I am a very straight forward person and a lot of people does not like that personality trait of mine.

The main chorus is when the 'rock' section of the song is played. I think that the group decided to use more of a rock influence on the main chorus because this shows how the group feels frustrated when certain people goes behind their backs.

"Faint"-Linkin Park 
I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact
That everyone can see these scars

I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you to just believe this is real

So, I let go watchin' you, turn your back
Like you always do, face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you are all that I've got

I can't feel the way I did before, don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored, time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored

I am a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
'Cause you don't understand, I do what I can
But sometimes I don't make sense

I am what you never want to say but I've never
Had a doubt, it's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you for once just to hear me out

So, I let go watchin' you, turn your back
Like you always do, face away and pretend that I'm not
But  I'll be here 'cause you are all that I've got

I can't feel the way I did before, don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored, time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored

No, hear me out now, you're gonna listen to me
Like it or not, right now, hear me out now,
You're gonna listen to me like or not, right now

I can't feel the way i did before
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored

I can't feel the way I did before, don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored, time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me, I wont be ignored

I can't feel, I won't be ignored, time won't heal
Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored
