Linkin Park - More the Victim (Official Audio) 

This song deserves the full single treatment like they did with Lost. It's incredible

comment if you are in 2024

Even their demos from 20 years ago are far better than todays music tbh....

I hope Mike sees all of these comments and continues to release all of the "B side" tracks. This is absolutely amazing.

The fact that songs like this didn't make it to the album, say a lot about the quality of LP's music. This song could easily be a single for any other band. Long life to Linkin Park 🤘

How Linkin Park has had a song that they made 20 years ago sound like it just came out today is still so mind blowing. They were always so far ahead of the game.

Every time i get on youtube, i find a new song from Linkin Park and i find more songs to love to listen to. Chester never left, he's alive in each song.

I've listened endlessly to your injury You wanna talk about your sores? You wanna talk about suffering? Maybe sympathy is all you're really hungry for 'Cause you just criticize and you fingerpoint And you say that they beat you down You may be victimized, but you're still the one Who won't just get up off the ground I used to be as innocent as you My excuses ran out Ran out of things to complain about Fear will always find a way to show right through You want to be more hurt than me You want to say you're more the victim You wanna complain and pass the blame You want to say you're more the victim You wanna talk constantly about misery And how you've been done so wrong You wanna bend your honesty and exaggerate With the stress that you've undergone There's never a compromise, no one can say That they've ever been hurt before They may be victimized, but you'll always say That you're a victim so much more I used to be as innocent as you My excuses ran out Ran out of things to complain about Fear will always find a way to show right through You want to be more hurt than me You want to say you're more the victim You wanna complain and pass the blame You want to say you're more the victim You wanna be just another someone Somebody angry, somebody broken You wanna be that? Then be it all alone You want to be more hurt than me You want to say you're more the victim You wanna complain and pass the blame You want to say you're more the victim You want to be more hurt than me You want to say you're more the victim You wanna complain and pass the blame Pass the blame, pass the blame

To think that this song didnt make it on the official album is a crime, because this song is truly a beautiful gem uncovered from the archive. Such an amazing song. The melodic chorus and Shinoda’s lyricism blends so fucking well in this track, goddamn i miss Chester so fucking much, thank you Linkin Park 🖤

It's actually unreal how topical this song is now. This shows just how nuanced Linkin Park was lyrically. They were never just on the side of the angry and frustrated, even us, as the listeners, they told us "Yo, take a step back. Consider your emotions. Understand what you feel. Are you really miserable, or does it just feel like you are?" I never related to LP because I was "broken" or miserable. I related to them because they understood us. Not just the frustration, but the imaginary obstacles we put in our own way.

This song describes perfectly a covert narcissistic person, blame shifting, victimisation,manipulative, and 0 empathy for the other one. Thanks, Linking Park for this masterpiece.

I think no one expected to hear Chester's voice again, it's amazing I have no words

This need a official music video, it's hidden gem. One of the best LP songs. Can't believe it's been hiding all that time.

Thank you LP for releasing these awesome tracks, Chester's legacy will never die :')

rip chester, thanks for evrything

It's criminally underrated how smooth this song flows.

Of all the unreleased songs from Meteora, this is by far my favorite. It could've been included in the actual album. It's just soooooo good.

So nice to hear lyrics after listening to Cumulus for years

This song speaks a lot of truths. I think we all met someone that just wanted to be more of a victim, that their pain was "larger" than our own and even though we understood their pain, they did not understand ours and even blamed us for being hurt and broken. I've met people like that in 2022, where their problems were larger than life and if you wanted them to be a source of comfort, they never held out their hand to comfort you in any way and even made things worse. Even after 6 years, Chester is still here speaking facts

This song is about how some people tend to constantly talk about their problems and make themselves out to be the biggest victim. The singer can relate to this, as they used to be like that too. However, they eventually realized that constantly dwelling on their misfortunes wasn't helping anyone. The singer encourages these people to try and see things from a different perspective, instead of constantly seeking sympathy and complaining. They believe that everyone has the power to overcome their struggles and become someone who is not just angry and broken.

Can’t believe it’s been 20 years. This is a masterpiece song. Still feels fresh. Chester’s voice is so unique….best music band ever

No artist, no band, no musical group can ever match the level of emotional connections Linkin Park has made and taken care of with their audience! The best of the best, Linkin Park, Forever!

THIS is the song I'll put on repeat 1000 times. Another MASTERPIECE. Again.

The Producers don't get enough credit... when the Beat drops... we are all Victims of Greatness. LP for Life

LYRICS I've listened endlessly to your injury, You wanna talk about your sores You wanna talk about suffering, maybe sympathy, it's all you're really hungry for Coz you just criticize and you fingerpoint and you say that they put you down You maybe victimized but you're still the one who won't just get up off the ground I used to be as innocent as you (My excuses ran out, ran out of things to complain about) Fear will always find a way to show right through You want to be more hurt than me You want to say you're more the victim You wanna complain and pass the blame You want to say you're more the victim (You want, you-you-you want, you-you-you want, you-you‐) You wanna talk constantly about misery and how you've been done so wrong You wanna bend your honеsty and exaggerate all thе stress that you undergone There's never a compromise, no one can say that they ever been hurt before They may be victimized, but you'll always say that you're a victim so much more I used to be as innocent as you (My excuses ran out, ran out of things to complain about) Fear will always find a way to show right through You want to be more hurt than me You want to say you're more the victim You wanna complain and pass the blame You want to say you're more the victim You wanna be just another someone Somebody angry, somebody broken You wanna be that than being all alone... You want to be more hurt than me You want to say you're more the victim You wanna complain and pass the blame You want to say you're more the victim You want to be more hurt than me You want to say you're more the victim You wanna complain and pass the blame Pass the blame, pass the blame

Can’t believe this song didn’t make it to the album, thank you guys seriously.

Chester's voice really shines on this track. Such a unique talent. So thankful these tracks got released. RIP Ches!

Feels so weird to hear unreleased music 20yr later:(. They got me through so much. Rip Chester!

Definitely one of the best song that wasn't put onto the main meteora album

Everything is perfect about this song . Goosebumps..

DAMN. this song is excellent. Can't believe it didn't make the original album, but i'm so glad we still get to hear chester's voice on some new tracks all these years later. Hearing him is like being wrapped up in a warm blanket and i'll forever be grateful for that

This would have been a top 10 all-time Linkin Park song, and easily the best song out of Meteora. I can already imagine how the shows with this song in the set could have been, with Chester leaning over the edge of the stage and people jumping in the chorus! This is a HIT! The synth and melody are so beautiful, it has a sadness to it, but it's a beautiful kind of sadness. And the chorus just explodes with energy! It gives a good contrast to the song, and it was done so well! I wish I could have been in the room with them when they made this one. This is one of my top favourite songs by them now! It has the feeling as though this song is the bridge between "Hybrid Theory" and "Meteora," like this was one of the earlier Meteora songs they made. The instrument sound and delivery sound as if it was made back in Hybrid Theory days, but it also sounds more mature than what was on "Hybrid Theory". Yet it has something that I can find in songs from "Minutes to Midnight," and "Living Things". This is honestly getting better and better as I listen to it more and more. Honestly, this could have been their best song ever with a bit more work. I absolutely love it. I wish Chester were here to sing it live. Thinking about that right now, wanting to not lose Chester is selfish. It was hard being Chester. He did not want to go, but he was trapped in the corner, and he felt like, at that time, this was the only way to stop hurting. It's a conflict between loving him and wishing he wouldn't leave us, thus making him suffer this torturous life he had. For most people life is good, yeah, we all get the occasional down or sad day, but now imagine living like this for most of your life. This is the real and true nature of depression. RIP Chester, you're missed dearly.

I rarely find a song I feel obligated to scream along with, but this is one of them. I got out of a very toxic 2.5 year relationship a few months ago and I didn’t see how toxic it was until after we broke up. She did all of this, while I always tried to just move on with life after I struggled or fell down. She always wanted to complain, pass the blame, and be the victim. Nothing was ever her fault Thank you for putting my feelings into words for me Linkin Park

Linkin Park is the only artist/group I listen to that I have EVERY album they have done.

This added a whole new feeling to one of their best instrumental demo Cumulus ❤️

I can almost feel Chester singing this live in all his glory, RIP!🌟

This song reminds me exactly of how I used to feel listening to LPs songs as a 12 year old

Damn...to think that this gem has been hiding from us for 10 years is crazy! It easily is one of my top 3 Linkin Park songs and brings everything I like in the band together! I am truly thankful for the 20th Anniversary Meteora celebration since it has unveiled so many amazing memories I never knew I had!

What an awesome song, LP is really a band ahead of its time. Always giving us the best. This is for you Chester

Are we gonna talk about the fact that Rob literally went off on this track? Holy hell dude he’s an underrated drummer

I LOVE THIS .

Sinto sua falta chester, faz falta demais, descanse em paz

So many years hearing this demo, i really didnt expect a “full version”, i hope someday LP release the other LPUs from the eras of MTM to Living Things, there are so many goods demos in those eras and it would be sad i we never get an official release with even more unreleased demos, youll always be in my heart Linkin Park

My God every song is first-class in quality! How on earth were songs like Lost, Fighting Myself, Healing Foot and More the victim left off the album!

A perfect example of how music should be❤

My favourite band of all time

A person only dies when he doesn't leave his legacy, Chester will always be alive in our memories. 🌷

LP 4ever ❤️

I suffered from abuse by my dad and this song really helped.

Incrível é que não existe música ruim do Linkin Park

45 seconds in, this is the best of these songs theyve released. Wow

Честер будет жив, пока мы слышим его голос в песнях! Спи спокойно, легенда.😢 (Отдельное спасибо Майку Шинода с ребятами, что мы можем услышать не выпущенные шедевры того времени. А этот трек и вовсе опередил свое время.) Измененно: Слушаю уже 3-ий день, и не могу оторваться. И понять не могу, как данный шедевр не попал в официальный альбом "Meteora"? Получился бы офигенный "бэнгер", особенно на концертах.

This ONE definitely should be released on METEORA 😮‍💨Uffff The way Chester sings chorus and that strings(or whatever it is) in the background 🫨 So beautiful 🫶🏼

Mike did such a great job with this track. OMG!!

Listening to this songs feels like metting a friend you haven't seen in a long long time.

I love all of these new/old songs. Thank you for these gifts. Can't believe it's been 20 years since Meteora came out!

Linkin park have achieved something profound with these unearthed gems. They have opened a portal and (metaphorically) allow us to hear Chester’s craft again. This is GOLD!!!! Also, the accompanying artwork for this song and Fighting Myself are really awesome!

Стиль музыки который ни с кем не спутаешь🔥

Centuries may pass, but Linkin Park will live on forever. Thank you, Chester.

This song is so beautiful. I miss Chester so much. His passing hurt so much. LP was such a big part of my youth, and they continue being one of all time favorite bands. I will always regret not being able to see them live. RIP Chester, you are so very loved, and so very missed. Float among the stars and be at peace.

That guitar riff kicking in is dope

The lyric is just great amazing

Как же вы могли так долго прятать этот шедевр от нас?!

Esta se transformo rápidamente en una de mis favoritas del grupo.

i just gona say i grow up with linkin park and im 37....Chester bro rest in peace,i understand you better and better while time pass trough

It's really fascinating that these songs I've never heard until now can generate memories of exactly what I was doing when I was listening to Meteora.

Mais uma inédita 😲 tem coisa melhor que som novo do Linkin Park? Como eu amo essa banda

OMG!!! Linkin Park will always be the greatest and unique band out there! Happy 20th anniversary Meteora!!

Hearing this track and Chester's voice brought tears to my eyes. I will never forget those happy years when I first listened to the Meteorа album

如果是20年前的作品 至現今還是很多樂團沒辦法超越 I love linkin park. missing you chester ❤

1:48 Nao sou de chorar ouvindo musica mas olha essa VOZ essa energia , nao tem igual Obrigado Chester !!!! o melhor

Tem razão do álbum se chamar Meteora, os cara só lança pedrada 🧐🍷🖤

Chester will forever have the most beautiful voice on earth. I listen to this song and listen to it on a loop all day long. Thank you Linkin Park - you are the best band and I will remain a fan of yours forever

There demo's are fire and I love it, their music brought me out of some rough times also RIP Chester

Nostalgia hearing Chester's voice again!!!🤘🖤💯

Mike Shinoda tiene también una excelente voz y lo ha demostrado con sus bandas alternas. LP 4ever 🤘🤘🤘

What a absolutely amazing song that I am hearing for the first time. Didn’t think I’d be able to hear a linkin park song for the first time again

This song never gets old

The best new/old song of LP

Escuchar la voz de Chester es la mejor sensación😢❤❤❤

10 seconds in, and it's already that perfect and original Linkin Park sound.

I waited for a completed version of Cumulus for 10 years. Was so happy to hear this the first time.

Cada vez que aparece a voz do Chester nessas músicas novas, eu me emociono :'). Tá tudo lindo demais!

Can't believe that this song where recorded 20 years ago ...this song has that energy level feel like 20 year ahead of that time 🙌🏻

Человека нет, а его голос живёт и радует нас. 👍

Wish i could turn back the Time and hear CHESTER LIVE with Lost, more the Victim and many more Songs ... Goosebumps !!!! R.i.P. Chaz

Insane how this was once therapeutic to me as a 12 year old and here I am listening to something that feels like it came right out of 2003. 20 years later and getting the same goosebumps as I once felt then. Thank you Linkin Park for doing this. 🤘 R.I.P Chester Bennington. 🙏 Voice of a generation.

This has to be some of Brad's best guitar work on Meteora

I don’t think it sounds "too poppy", sounds like nu-metal to me! Love it

Your voice and you are always with us. Thankyou for being here with us ❤Chester❤️

THE BEST OF THE ALBUM FOR ME

one of the best song in meteora 20th anniversary album together with lost and fighting myself

Cara, imagina essa mini pausa num show ao vivo. 02:07 😮 Toda energia no refrão, Chester tomando fôlego para nós entregar tudo isso de uma só vez. Meu Deus isso seria tão incrível. 🇧🇷🤌🍷

Añoooooos que siempre decía que buena instrumental es de por si Cumulus y ahora con las voces de Mike y Chester uffff!!! Que hermosa canción!!!! Y tan identificativa para muchos en este preciso momento. Te amo Linkin Park!!!

I will always be grateful for the songs on Linkin Park, in general with all guys, as it is always a relief to be able to listen to them. It always helps me with my anxiety problem. ❤️

I miss chester so much 😢

I love the sound of Meteora. It was truly unique. I love the authentic use of guitars and drums. I wish they would've used more of it in the albums that came after. Thought they relied too heavily on sampling and electric sounds.

I love this demo! That and Healing Foot are Lost Demos gold for me!

Nueva canción favorita agregada a mi repertorio

В мире происходит кромешный пи....ц! Но эти шедевры до сих пор радуют и греют душу надеждой на лучшее...
