"In the End" is a song by Linkin Park. It is the eighth track from their debut album Hybrid Theory (2000).
It was released as a single in 2001.
"In The End" is their highest charting single in most countries. It's widely regarded as their most famous song, and the one which best describes their music style.
The single CD was released as a "Part 1" Single and a "Part 2" Single. They differed in tracks and cover color: the "Part 1" cover is yellow and the "Part 2" cover is red. The "Part 1" cover is shown on the right.
This song is mainly based on one man's (or woman's) failure. It is considered symbolic of an ending relationship. Reanimation (2002) features a hip hop-style remix of this song, titled "Enth E Nd".
On the 2004 EP Collision Course there is a "mash up" of "In The End" and Jay-Z's Izzo (H.O.V.A.).

[edit] Music Video
The video for "In The End" starts off with Chester walking out of a hall which leads outside on top of a big statue, after we see Mike Shinoda rapping in a sort of fantasy wasteland with plants growing around him. Then it cuts to the entire band playing on top of the statue where Chester is singing. After we see once again Mike rapping, with the plants growing beside him and a whale (most likely a hybrid of a humpback) flying around the tower or statue. Then we see the band once again playing on top of the statue.We see Chester standing at the end of the statue, sings, jumps, and when he lands, part of the floor he is standing crumbles, it grows dark, and it begins to rain. Chester repeats the words he just sung and the band performs in the rain, and the song ends there. The video ends with an aerial view of the wasteland, now a forest, and the whale flying toward the statue.
The clip was co-directed by Nathan "Karma" Cox and LP's turntablist Joe Hahn (which have also directed those for "Points of Authority" and "Papercut"). It was awarded as "Best Rock Video" at the 2002 MTV Awards.
[edit] Trivia
- There is a large winged soldier on top of the large statue that the band is playing on.
- Mike mimics Chester's movements during the chorus.
- Joe is chewing on berry seeds during the video, and if you look closely (though it is very hard to see), you can see that he is wearing a belt buckle with "Mr. Hahn" on it.
- It's believed that the video shows the creation of the world, as plants are growing on the wasteland.
- Has been remixed by numerous fans, including the popular "Floating" remix by DJ Krayziefrk and the MDMA remix by DJ Metropolis.
