Water gray
Through the windows, up the stairs
Chilling rain
Like an ocean everywhere

Don't want to reach for me, do you?
I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away
And now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water, I do

Hope decays
Generations disappear
Washed away
As a nation simply stares

Don't want to reach for me, do you?
I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away
But now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water, I do

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet underground, now I, now I do

The little things give you away
The little things give you away
The little things give you away
The little things give you away

The little things give you away
(All you've ever wanted)
(Was someone to truly look up to you)
The little things give you away
The little things give you away
(All you've ever wanted)
(Was someone to truly look up to you)
The little things give you away

The little things give you away
(All you've ever wanted)
(Was someone to truly look up to you)
The little things give you away
The little things give you away
(All you've ever wanted)
(Was someone to truly look up to you)
The little things give you away

The little things give you away
(All you've ever wanted)
(Was someone to truly look up to you)
The little things give you away
The little things give you away
(All you've ever wanted)
(Was someone to truly look up to you)
The little things give you away

    This is Linkin's best song ever. I love this song. I was effected by Katrina and it tell a story for us. In a really rock'n'roll way. Love it.

    First, I just wanna give props to Linkin Park. At first I thought them all loud and all they sung about were ****s, alcohol and ummm... you know what I mean. But they are very good. Kudos to them.

    Sorry, wrong click. Anyway, don't think me wierd, but at first I thought this was a large boat accident, but after a while it came to me as Katrina because of the "rain" part. It is a relaxing, but touching song, and shows how much LP cares for people, especially their charity work. Excellent song! (btw, the asterisks are d. r. u. g. s, but it is bleeped out, and I don't know why.)

    I think it refers to the american people in general saying we don't care until some like Katrina happens and now that some thing happens we finaly notice them, it could be refering to the gov. but I have a stronger felling it refers to the american people at least that's how the song speaks to me.

    if only you knew, or maybe understand..... this is all about something most of us don't know!! about the conflict between God and Satan!

    think about it!

    is a song-message from the devil, writing as a dead person (posible on the katrina or another water related with nature accident) telling God, he doesn't care about him/her (the person)

    even the part "The little things give you away" meaning that tiny things are nothing for him (God) meaning tiny or little as the humanity!!

    I don't mind if you don't believe me but, it's true!!

    ...You CAN'T say it's true since you're not the one(s) who wrote it. It IS about Hurricane Katrina. Some of us DO understand. Some of us are also atheists, or of other religions.

    It's really beautiful and deeply moving song. I didn't understand it well but I got it right when I visited this site, it's about katrina, no doubt. But I still don't know one thing.Who is that "you" in this song? "The little things give YOU away. But who exactly?

    To me when it says "all you ever wanted was someonent to truly look up to you, now six feet underwater I do" I think it means all the people that drowned in Katrina are looking at the government for not helping them sooner. When I say l'looking' I mean they died with their eyes open with their bodies floating upright underwater.

    It is a really relaxing song. And deeply moving I think. Actually I'm not from the States so I can't truly understand this thing with Bush, but each nation has it's own problems, so this song can mean different things for ppl from different countries.

    its talking about huirricane katrina. i have the cd and it has the lyrics with a little note next to it and it says about how they went down and saw the people when they wrote it. and when you think about it it makes sense.

    I don't think it's a reference to Bush. To me it's a reference to drowning. Not physically drowning, but metaphorically drowning. Also the first verse would tie in with this.
    And "The Little Things Give You Away" to me is him saying that in other words "I can see that you don't really love me".

    To me the whole song is about someone realising or saying they know that someone else doesn't love them, as they say they do.
