The Little Things Give You Away Lyrics

Linkin Park

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

i think that the best part about LP songs are that they are so #!@%*# real. Just listening to it u can visualize the whole situation that is going on. Like numb, this song truly touched me. the best part of the song was" all u have ever wanted was someone to truly look upto u and six feet under water i do"(very clever idea of showing both helpness and resentment)

really this is a moving song... i just realize something about myself.. when the first time i heard. GREAT SONG FROM LP

adrian_4_ever

personally i believe the person "you" described as you is Gerorge W, you just watched instead of doing something, he didnt care about that demographic, that song was political no denying it

Its_Kellerz

Personally I think this song is the most moving piece of music I've ever heard. I also think that this song is about Someone that linkin park lost in Hurricane Katrina. So that would be the "you" in the song.

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.

Midknight

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.)

JDockham

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.

Krazymen

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!!

Cailunet

...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.

ExtrumComicstreams

Another great song of Minutes to Midnight. Keep it up, Linkin Park.
