All for Nothing is the second track from Linkin Park's sixth studio album The Hunting Party. It was released on June 17, 2014 through Warner Bros. and Machine Shop Recordings. It features a guest appearance from American rock "Helmet" band vocalist and guitarist Page Hamilton.
Composition[]
All for Nothing starts with a heavy guitar riff, after which the drums slow down to a hip-hop flow for Mike Shinoda to bring his rhymes on his verses. The Chorus features Page Hamilton's singing with Chester Bennington's "SUM 41 styled" gang vocals and later leads to a great guitar solo by Brad Delson. The song is considered heavy, relentless and hardcore and it comes as a violent response to the band's critics.
Lyrics[]
So what 'cha waiting for
Anticipating more
While you debate what it could take to instigate a war
Yeah I've been hated more than time I wasn't hated for
There's nothing they can fucking say they didn't say before
But you can never see it
Your battle's not mine
Wanna skate and play it safe but this is take a shot time
While you're waiting for a purpose I already got mine
While you tell me step to it like 1,2,3,4
And if I do what you demand
(You say) You'll let me understand
(You say) You're gonna hold me to your word
And if I sell myself away
(You say) I'll have no debt to pay
(You say) I'm gonna get what I deserve
Your word / obeyed
My debt / repayed
Our trust / betrayed
All for nothing
All for nothing
Kick back there's no other way to say it
So let me break this fucker for ya
I really don't know ya
You talk but let me show ya where to put your paranoia
You're joking, I don't have a half a sucker bone to throw ya
I'm disgusted, wonder what could 've made ya tuck your tail below ya
And no I'm not your soldier I'm not taking any orders
I'm a five star general, infantry controller
Need a lesson? Let me show ya
Have you checking your composure
While I make you step to it like 1,2,3,4
And if I do what you demand
(You say) You'll let me understand
(You say) You're gonna hold me to your word
And if I sell myself away
(You say) I'll have no debt to pay
(You say) I'm gonna get what I deserve
And if I do what you demand
You'll let me understand
Your word / obeyed
My debt / re payed
Our trust / betrayed
All for nothing
All for nothing
All for nothing
