Faint may refer to:
"Faint" is a song by the American rock band Linkin Park from their second studio album Meteora. The song was released as the album's second single on June 9, 2003 and entered the top thirty on the majority of the charts it appeared on, including the Hot 100, in which it peaked at #48. The song reached #1 on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks, becoming the band's third number-one hit on the chart. The song would later be featured on the group's mashup EP with Jay-Z, Collision Course, where it was mashed up with lyrics of the song Jigga What from Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life. American metalcore band I, the Breather recorded a cover of "Faint."
This song was released as two singles, "Faint 1" and "Faint 2", they differed in cover color and track listing ("Faint 1" is blue, and "Faint 2" is a brownish-green). "Faint 1" was also released as a Canadian version that includes the tracks, but does not include the music video. "Faint 1" lists the length of "Lying from You" as 3:43 but is actually 3:04. "One Step Closer", on "Faint 2", is 3:43 long. A promotional sampler was given to members of the street team and some members of the LPU, the band's official fan club. A demo for the song can be found on the Underground 9.0 Fan Club release. It features Mike Shinoda rapping with different lyrics, with only some backing input from Chester Bennington. A live version of the track was featured as a b-side for "What I've Done".
The agony of deceiving light haunts me
my torn soul is yearning for the dawn
All the sorrows are drowned in sadness
Tears of mourning will never run dry
My death is closer now than ever
My heart is black of infernal fire
Glimpsing shadows fall unto the dark
I follow the path of ultimate freedom
Taste the red stream of sorrow
Drink the tears off my eyes
My grace has fallen to ashes
My pride has turned to dust
Please take my fear away
... Take my pain away
My death is closer now than ever
My heart is black of bloodred fire
Crimson shadows fall unto the dark
I follow my path to ultimate freedom
The agony of deceiving light haunts me
My torn soul is yearning
All sorrows are drowned in sadness
Tears of mourning will never run dry
It feels like I'm dying
