You hid your skeletons when I had shown you mine
You woke the devil that I thought you'd left behind
I saw the evidence, the crimson soaking through
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose
And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall
You held it all and I was by your side, powerless
I watched you fall apart and chased you to the end
I'm left with emptiness that words can not defend
You'll never know what I became because of you
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose
And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall
You held it all and I was by your side, powerless
And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall
You held it all and I was by your side, powerless

A Fragilidade nas Relações em Powerless do Linkin Park
A música Powerless, da banda Linkin Park, é uma expressão intensa de vulnerabilidade e desilusão nas relações humanas. A letra revela uma narrativa onde o eu lírico se sente traído e desamparado, percebendo que a confiança depositada em outra pessoa foi quebrada. A imagem dos 'esqueletos', uma metáfora para segredos ou aspectos ocultos da personalidade, sugere que o narrador foi aberto e sincero, enquanto o outro indivíduo não apenas escondeu os seus, mas também despertou aspectos sombrios que pareciam estar no passado ('You woke the devil that I thought you'd left behind').
A repetição da frase 'And you held it all' enfatiza a ideia de que a outra pessoa tinha tudo – talvez o poder de manter a relação saudável ou a felicidade do narrador – mas foi 'careless', ou seja, negligente ao deixar tudo cair. Isso sugere uma perda ou falha significativa, que deixou o eu lírico Powerless, impotente. A impotência aqui pode ser interpretada como a incapacidade de salvar a relação, de mudar a situação ou de influenciar o comportamento do outro.
Musicalmente, Powerless se encaixa no estilo do Linkin Park, conhecido por suas letras emocionais e a fusão de elementos do rock, metal e eletrônica. A banda frequentemente explora temas como dor, frustração e busca por identidade, o que se reflete nesta canção. A sensação de impotência e vazio ('I left with emptiness that words can not defend') é um eco da angústia que muitos fãs da banda identificam e encontram consolo. Powerless é um retrato da dor que acompanha a percepção de que, apesar de todos os esforços, às vezes somos incapazes de controlar o desfecho das nossas relações mais profundas.
You hid your skeletons when I had shown you mine
Você escondeu seus esqueletos quando eu mostrei os meus
You woke the devil that I thought you'd left behind
Você acordou o demônio que eu pensei que você tinha deixado para trás
I saw the evidence, the crimson soaking through
Eu vi as evidências, o carmesim se infiltrando
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose
Dez mil promessas, dez mil maneiras de perder
And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall
E você tinha tudo, mas foi descuidado para deixar cair
You held it all and I was by your side, powerless
Você tinha tudo e eu estava ao seu lado, impotente
I watched you fall apart and chased you to the end
Eu vi você se desmoronar e te persegui até o fim
I'm left with emptiness that words can not defend
Estou com um vazio que as palavras não podem defender
You'll never know what I became because of you
Você nunca saberá o que eu me tornei por causa de você
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose
Dez mil promessas, dez mil maneiras de perder
And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall
E você tinha tudo, mas foi descuidado para deixar cair
You held it all and I was by your side, powerless
Você tinha tudo e eu estava ao seu lado, impotente
And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall
E você tinha tudo, mas foi descuidado para deixar cair
You held it all and I was by your side, powerless
Você tinha tudo e eu estava ao seu lado, impotente

You held it all and I was by your side, powerless

Te vi desmoronarte y te perseguí hasta el final
I'm left with emptiness that words can not defend
