So, what happened was
I was, so we're collecting all this stuff and it came together very easily
Like the Meteora 20 stuff, it was just a matter of staying on it and getting up the
like, the nerve to, like, go and look for the stuff
Like, you're like, it's like saying
"hey, there's, there's some, somewhere in your possession,
in your house or your, whatever, storage unit, your friends' hou-
your parеnts' house, whatever
thеre's a couple of these photos from this one month
that I want you to go find, can you go find them?"
You're just like, the feeling you get
you're having right now as I say that to you, you're going like "uuggh"
Taking you back to day one
The light was the blind and bright of two suns
(Come down)
Touch the ground we hang from
The rest can look back when yesterday comes
(Once again)
I return to the same mistake
And the pleasure that I hate and the pain it makes
(Turn around)
Take a look back to see
The darkness in a figure in the shape of me
It's not an illusion, not seeing double
My mistakes shouldn't have passed into today's new trouble
What I knew got lost in the shuffle
And I can't go digging in yesterday's rubble
So I'm left with a taste in my mouth
That I hate but I can't seem to scrape it out
So when I say that I pray, it'll go away
I'm reminded of this thing that you left in me
"Day One" is the fourth track on Refraction.
The song is a two part interlude:
the first part samples an interview Mike Shinoda gave
during the promotion of the 20th anniversary version
of Meteora over a chill beat
while the second half flips into a more hip-hop based instrumental
The second half also uses the first verse of "Resolution"
the demo for "Lost" that was also released as part of the "Lost Demos"
