It Goes Through

Template:Infobox song "It Goes Through" is the eleventh track on the soundtrack album Mall (Music From The Motion Picture) by Chester Bennington, Dave Farrell, Joe Hahn, Mike Shinoda & Alec Puro.

Background

It is unknown when "It Goes Through" was first started as a song. From the Living Things sessions, it had a sample of its demo version, "Luna", released on December 10, 2012 as part of Stagelight: Linkin Park Edition, after the band started to work on the soundtrack for Joe's film Mall with Alec Puro. It is possible the song was created earlier than 2012, but we do not have any confirmed date for "Luna" outside of 2012.

Mike Shinoda started to mix the soundtrack for a release in October 2014 while Linkin Park was touring in Brazil. Although the song was credited as "Luna" on the film, its title was changed to "It Goes Through" for the album.

The song was used in the first official trailer for the film, which was released on May 28, 2014 and, starting on August 8, 2014, was shown on the screens before Linkin Park's shows.

The version of "It Goes Through" used during the trailer and movie is a demo version of the track. The song has a repeating sampled drum pattern beneath it in that version and features a different vocal take. A vocal performance similar to the second verse vocals is over the instrumental of the first verse.

Lyrics

Well my sun / it won't shine
It won't light up the back of my mind
And these fires / they won't burn
But to blacken the memories I've earned
 
And these walls / are so thin
But they somehow keep holdin' me in
'Cause I've pushed / and I know
What's to come at the end of this road
 
'Cause it goes through
Through, through
 
Well, my sun / it won't shine
It won't light up the back of my mind
And these fires / they don't burn
Except to blacken the memories I've earned
 
And these walls / are so thin
But they keep on holdin' me in
'Cause I've pushed / and I know
That there's nowhere left to go
 
'Cause it goes through
Through, through
'Cause it goes through
Through, through
 
'Cause it goes through, ooh
'Cause it goes through, ooh
