About Figure.09

“This song originally had rapping in the verses, then was re-written with singing verses during the the process at NRG The singing part remained until the recording process was finished. Then, while mixing, Brad, Mike, Chester, and Don swapped the rap verses back in, deciding that the rapping made the song more interesting. The rest of the band didn’t hear the final version of the song until the entire album was complete.” – "Meteora" booklet note for "Figure.09" .

Figure.09 Lyrics

[00:23.74] Nothing ever stops all these thoughts and the pain attached to them
[00:27.15] Sometimes I wonder why this is happenin'
[00:29.47] It's like nothing I could do would distract me when
[00:31.87] I think of how I shot myself in the back again
[00:34.34] 'Cause from the infinite words I could say
[00:36.37] I put all the pain you gave to me on display
[00:38.78] But didn't realize instead of setting it free
[00:41.38] I took what I hated and made it a part of me
[00:44.13] It never goes away
[00:46.63] It never goes away
[00:48.08] And now you've become a part of me
[00:51.66] (You'll always be right here)
[00:53.82] You've become a part of me
[00:56.57] (You'll always be my fear)
[00:58.92] I can't separate (myself from what I've done)
[01:03.56] Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you
[01:09.74]
[01:13.00] Hearing your name the memories come back again
[01:15.87] I remember when it started happenin'
[01:18.33] I'd see you in every thought I had and then
[01:20.66] The thoughts slowly found words attached to them
[01:23.26] And I knew as they escaped away
[01:25.01] I was committing myself to 'em and every day
[01:27.59] I regret saying those things 'cause now I see that
[01:30.33] I took what I hated and made it a part of me
[01:32.82] It never goes away
[01:35.57] It never goes away
[01:36.72] And now you've become a part of me
[01:40.33] (You'll always be right here)
[01:42.64] You've become a part of me
[01:45.23] (You'll always be my fear)
[01:47.69] I can't separate (myself from what I've done)
[01:52.39] Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you
[02:00.09] It never goes away
[02:02.36] It never goes away
[02:04.86] It never goes away
[02:07.23] It never goes away
[02:08.64] (Get away from me)
[02:10.04] Give me my space back you gotta just (go)
[02:12.62] Everything comes down to memories of (you)
[02:15.17] I've kept it in but now I'm letting you (know)
[02:17.48] I've let you go, so get away from (me)
[02:19.80] Give me my space back you gotta just (go)
[02:22.44] Everything comes down to memories of (you)
[02:24.60] I've kept it in but now I'm letting you (know)
[02:27.07] I've let you go
[02:28.06] And now you've become a part of me
[02:31.87] (You'll always be right here)
[02:34.17] You've become a part of me
[02:36.73] (You'll always be my fear)
[02:39.00] I can't separate (myself from what I've done)
[02:43.83] Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you
[02:51.30] I've let myself become you
[02:56.42] I've let myself become lost inside these thoughts of you
[03:03.43] Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you
[03:07.64]
