Description
"Papercut" is a song by the Nu metal band Linkin Park. It is the first track from their 2000 debut album Hybrid Theory. The video has the band in a haunted house. They are playing in a dimly lit room with an unnerving picture behind the band. To the band's left of the room is a dark kitchen with a bound and writhing figure. To the right is what appears to be a laboratory with a strange creature. It moves extremely fast and erratic like the creatures in House on Haunted Hill. Later in the song, the creature releases insects, probably Dragonflys, while the creepy picture and the left wall bulge. Rob Bourdon's eyes were affected, also there is a statue which moves it's head. The music video was co-directed by Nathan "Karma" Cox and LP's turntablist Joseph Hahn (which have also directed the ones for "Points of Authority" and "In The End"). It was not released for the US.
Lyrics
Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today.
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It's like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(It watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearin' me
Right inside my skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You've got a face on the inside too and
Your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what set me off first but I know what I can'tstand
Everybody laughs at the fact of the matter that
I can't add up to what you can but
Everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
(It watches everything)
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too
Right inside your skin
Chorus
The face inside is right beneath your skin (3x)
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me (Repeat until end)
