"Wish" has been a big staple in Nine Inch Nails' setlists since it's premiere, but only had a short time in the limelight for Linkin Park sets. It first debuted at the end of the ''[[Meteora]]'' touring cycle, where it was performed as the second encore song starting on the [[International Tour 2004|International Tour]]. It retained this position throughout [[Projekt Revolution 2004]], however it featured a shortened jam ending. The song was not played again after the tour ended. "Wish" was the second full and consistent cover the band performed, the first being Deftones' "[[My Own Summer (Shove It)]]" in 2002.

He's like, "You said we'd get to all pick one and then we'd do all six so this is my song, this is my choice." And we're like, "Can't you choose something else?" Then he'd say, "No, can't YOU choose something else?" So it would devolve from there.

Background

"Wish" is a song from industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails' Broken EP, released on September 22, 1992. It keeps with the general mood of the Broken EP and includes numerous angry and self-deprecating lyrical passages, but unlike other songs, also shows a desire for something more.[1]

Starting on June 3, 2004, the song was regularly played live by Linkin Park until the end of that year. A live recording from Tampa, Florida, was released on November 22, 2004 as part of the LP Underground 4.0 CD.

During a LPU Chat on August 2, 2011, Chester Bennington said, "Playing covers is something we don’t do very often, so we have to be picky about that kind of thing. But eight years ago when we didn’t have very many songs to play live, we would actually play songs like “Wish” or any of the other Deftones songs or whatever we could throw in our show because we only had like 36 minutes of music. So I don’t know how often we’ll do covers."[2] Mike Shinoda has said it’s hard for the band to agree on playing a cover version of a song because the guys don’t have consistency. They say they want to do a cover one day, and the next day they are making fun of it.[3]

According to Mike, "Wish" is "just a song we really like and feel strongly about and it's a lot of fun to play live because it's so energetic." He says the hardest part about putting the song together live was rebuilding all the sample sounds. "Actually, one of our techs used to work for Nine Inch Nails, and I played it for him, and I said "Dude you gotta hear this, I can't believe I made all these sounds, it sounds so similar" and he confirmed that they were, in his expert opinion, very similar. If I have his vote, then it's similar, because he's a die-hard Nine Inch Nails fan."[4]

Other bands who covered "Wish" includes Silverstein, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Beatsteaks, Behemoth, Dreadnaut, STEMM, Brand New, and Device.

The original song was featured as a playable track in "Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock", meaning it has stems available.

Lyrics

Live Version

This is the first day of my last days
I built it up now i take it apart climbed up real high now fall down real far
No need for me to stay the last thing left
I just threw it away
I put my faith in god and my trust in you
Now there's nothing more fucked up I could do

Wish there was something real
Wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world full of you

I'm the one without a soul
I'm the one with this big fucking hole
No new tale to tell twenty-six years on my way to hell
Your big time hard line bad luck fist fuck
Don't think you're having all the fun
You know me
I hate everyone

Wish there was something real
Wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world full of you

Ahh...
Yeah...
Yeah!

Wish there was something real
Wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world full of you

Wish there was something real
Wish there was something true
Wish there was something real in this world full of you

This world full of you [x3]

Woah!

This world full of you
