Shadow Of The Day
i close both locks below the window
i close both blinds and turn away
sometimes solutions aren't so simple
sometimes goodbye is the only way
and the sun will set for you
the sun will set for you
and the shadow of the day
will embrace the world in grey
and the sun will set for you

对林肯公园这首歌的MV印象很深。
2007年的CB，平头，消瘦，纹身，巨大的黑色耳钉。
赤裸着上身，从卧室起身，穿过洗漱间，走到客厅，打开电视，breaking news显示窗外正炮火漫天。他穿上厚重的秋装，厚重的马丁靴，关掉电视走上街，防暴警察严阵以待，孩童惊恐的目光，路人愤怒的叫喊，冲突一触即发。
他穿过人群，随着钢琴声起，唱起这首饱含企盼的歌，似乎是唱给路人，又似乎是唱给自己。
冲突终究还是爆发了。警民对峙之下，漫天的炮火此起彼伏。这时，他停下来，久久的站立，对着镜头，沉默，背后是忽明忽灭的罪恶火光。
吉他手Brad Delson在接受采访时说，这绝对是我们最好的歌之一。
Sometimes it is easier to just stop trying, even though everyone wants you to push onward. life isn’t nearly as simple as it seems, and sometimes giving up is the best solution.

in cards and flowers on your window
your friends all plead for you to stay
sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
sometimes goodbye is the only way
