Dealing with themes like emotional struggle, hope, and resilience and having genre-bending sound, Linkin Park’s songs have long resonated with listeners from all walks of life. The beauty of their numbers is that they appeal to every mood, positive or negative. However, not all their tracks have received the love and attention they deserved. This article applauds 5 underrated songs of Linkin Park that are nothing but hidden gems:

1) Nobody’s Listening (Meteora)

A part of the band’s second album Meteora, Nobody’s Listening is a solid appeal of a person to hear them out exactly when the other party doesn’t feel like it. The words “Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me. Told you everything loud and clear. But nobody's listening” sums up a person’s pent-up frustration of repeatedly being ignored in spite of sincere efforts to communicate with them. Lyrics aside, Nobody’s Listening combines Mike Shinoda's hip-hop vibes with Japanese flute loop, alongside the late Chester Bennington’s roaring voice that slices your insides, making it a definite repeat listen.

2) Good Things Go (From Zero)

Upon its release, Good Things Go emerged as a fan-favourite but many also said that it lacked the flavour of Linkin Park. While they would know what they meant, the 3.29-minute long song stays with you for its urgent pleading. Dealing with emotional conflict, pain of pushing others even though their help is needed the most at the time, and a person’s bitter realisation that their thoughts are messed up and that they are the problem, the lyrics of Good Things Go especially stay with you long after the song finishes.

3) Pushing Me Away (Hybrid Theory)

Lasting all of 3:11 minutes, Pushing Me Away creates a permanent impact and makes you think, and think hard. The toxic relationships that you have suffered from, the loneliness, the losing yourself, and finally coming to terms with it are all encompassed in this beautifully powerful number. When exiting such a relationship looks unlikely, the state of emotions one goes through forms the lyrics of this track. And, Bennington’s commanding throw mixed with compelling emotions demands your attention through and through.

4) In My Remains (Living Things)

Bennington showcasesraw and soul-stirring emotions inIn My Remains. Featuring military percussion, piano melodies, and mid-tempo beats, the 3:21-long song has a laid-back feel about it. As for the lyrics, it means how moving forward is the only option for anyone. And that letting go of the baggage and finding calm after facing never-met promises, and never-ending struggles and disappointment is what life should be all about.

5) Easier to Run (Meteora)

Want to talk it out but no one’s there to listen because they are so busy running away from the problem? The human tendency to escape and not confront the issues sums up Easier to Run. A less aggressive track compared to many of their compositions but retaining Linkin Park’s signature emotional depth, this Meteora number sounds like a ballad but cuts you nonetheless, throwing you in that alley of infinite introspection.
