Linkin Park was formed in 1996 by three high school friends from Agoura Hills, California. Their first album, Hybrid Theory was released in October 2000 and contained In the End, One Step Closer, and Crawling.
They get their sound from intertwined “Nu Metal” and “Rap Rock”, with influences and elements from hip-hop, alternative rock, and electronica, which gives them somewhat of a cross-over popularity.
One Step Closer
The original title for the song was “Plaster”. The band say they created “One Step Closer” while struggling on “Runaway”, the sixth track from Hybrid Theory. The single was released in 2001, achieving notable success in Australia, but moderate success in the UK and U.S.

Saying everything I’ve said before
All these words they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you’ll say
You’ll find that out anywayJust like before…
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I’m one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to breakI find the answers aren’t so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over againJust like before…
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I’m one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I’m one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to
breakShut up when I’m talking to you
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Shut up when I’m talking to you
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut upI’m about to BREAK
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I’m one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
Break
