"Lying from You" is a song by the nu metal band Linkin Park. It is the fourth regular track from their 2003 album Meteora.
Lying From You was released as the fifth single from the album. It was released only in the United States in 2004, as an airplay-only single, and Canada as a live music video with footage from Live in Texas. For being an airplay-only single, it still managed to reach #1 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, giving the band their fourth consecutive #1 from the Meteora album.
Other than the main keyboard sample looped throughout the song, the song features a sample of a car Burning out, which was sometimes played live during the Meteora-era, but has been absent during their Minutes to Midnight-era.
The song was one of seven Linkin Park songs used in the collaboration between the band and rapper Jay-Z ("Dirt off Your Shoulder/Lying from You") on the mash-up album Collision Course released in November 2004.
Recently in 2008, Lying From You now uses a new intro, and also removes all samples from the song during live shows.
Interview with Mike Shinoda, March 2003 ShoutWeb:
| “ | "That song will be impossible for any cover bands to play! Chester just sings too damned hard. I think it's great. I think he did some great stuff on that song. We all are really proud of that song. It's another song with a great keyboard thing that we made, this kind of sample sound at the beginning. It's going to be a really fun song to play live. I could say the same thing for the song that comes after that.
"Lying from You" is about pushing someone away. The title means, making up lies to make another person angry so that they don't want to be around you; which is something that some people do subconsciously in relationship. That's not what my part of the song is about but I know that in a broader sense, when people start feeling negative feelings toward somebody else, just naturally they start doing things to make that person not want to be around them. It's a subliminal reaction. That works with friends. That works with relationships - either way, people do that." |
