Castle of Glass

One of the most influential and well known songs (certified Platinum in two countries) from Linkin Park's electronic venture, Living Things, Castle of Glass couples electronic elements with a beat that is vaguely reminiscent of country rock. The song was also used as the main theme for the 2012 video game, Medal of Honor: Warfighter which is not the first time LP have contributed to the game series, having earlier contributed the lead single from their previous album as well. The music video well exemplifies the theme of the song which is the struggle of individuals dealing with loss which is (inevitably) a result of war.

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda] Take me down to the river bend Take me down to the fighting end Wash the poison from off my skin Show me how to be whole again [Verse 2: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington & Both] Fly me up on a silver wing Past the black where the sirens sing Warm me up in a nova's glow And drop me down to the dream below [Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington & Both] 'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass Hardly anything there for you to see For you to see [Verse 3: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington & Both] Bring me home in a blinding dream Through the secrets that I have seen Wash the sorrow from off my skin And show me how to be whole again [Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington & Both] 'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass Hardly anything there for you to see For you to see [Bridge: Chester Bennington] 'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass Hardly anything else I need to be [Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington & Both] 'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass Hardly anything there for you to see For you to see, for you to see
