Merahputih.com - Lagu legendaris milik Linkin Park, 'In The End', kembali menjadi perbincangan hangat di berbagai platform media sosial.
Bukan tanpa alasan, gelombang nostalgia ini dipicu oleh unggahan warganet yang menyoroti aspek visual dari video musik ikonik yang dirilis pada awal era 2000-an tersebut.
Pada masanya, video klip 'In The End' dinilai sangat inovatif karena keberaniannya menggunakan teknologi green screen dan CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) secara masif.
Namun, netizen masa kini menemukan sudut pandang baru yang cukup unik: mereka menyandingkan latar gurun dan atmosfer dalam video tersebut dengan dunia Abyss atau Upside Down dari serial populer Netflix, Stranger Things.
Kesamaan visual yang mencolok mulai dari lanskap yang gersang hingga nuansa langit yang dramatis, memicu lahirnya berbagai meme dan editan video kreatif di jagat maya.

Banyak penggemar yang berseloroh bahwa Linkin Park sebenarnya sudah 'mengunjungi' dunia alternatif tersebut jauh sebelum Eleven dan kawan-kawan.
Lagu ini sendiri tetap menjadi salah satu mahakarya Chester Bennington dan Mike Shinoda yang paling dicintai. Liriknya yang emosional tentang perjuangan dan kepasrahan tetap relevan hingga saat ini, membuat 'In The End' terus bergema lintas generasi.
It starts with one...
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time, all I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away, it's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Tryin' to hold on, d-didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
A memory of a time when I tried so hard
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mockin' me
Actin' like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so far
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end
You kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
A memory of a time when I tried so hard
You kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be

A memory of a time when I tried so hard
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this, there's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this, there's only one thing you should know
I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end, it doesn't even matter. (far)
