"Already Over" is a non-album single by Mike Shinoda.

Background

"Already Over" is a song by Mike Shinoda from fall 2023, not intended for an album.

Mike said, ""Already Over" came to me as I was sitting with my favorite guitar in my hands—the same guitar I used on songs from "What I've Done" to "In My Head." There was a familiar DNA to the song that I think Linkin Park fans will recognize. For me, it creates a bridge from the past to a blurry but exciting future."[2]

Mike said that he was ready to make more music for himself after a period of writing music for others since the COVID-19 pandemic began and he wrapped down his Post Traumatic era. He said, "For the last few years, I've been writing and producing for other people. I had songs with Demi Lovato, Grandson, Justus Bennetts, and PVRIS. A number of other things. There was a point where I realized, "Okay, I've done things, I've been avoiding getting on the microphone, and really just focusing all this attention on other people's things." He added, "I realized that I missed the artistic reward of going into a project for your own voice – for my voice – and kind of going deep on that. And, you know, the other thing was that I've never really considered myself a singer so much. I mean, I do sing, but it's functional. It's something that I would do to write a song, like sing harmonies or whatever. And I've occasionally sung on Linkin Park stuff."

He wanted to grow as a singer, saying “The process of writing new songs and singing songs on them was like, I realized that I can actually... With each release, I'm trying to learn something new or experiment with something I haven't done. I was like, ‘Oh, I actually have room to grow as a singer. Like, I can get better at this.’ And so it hasn't been academic in any way – it's just been writing more songs for me to sing.”

Describing writing the song, he said, "I remember with this track – I wrote it on a Fender Stratocaster, just sitting down, with it not even plugged in. As I was building it, like, adding layers to it – not super techie or hip-hop, none of those more complicated things felt like they wanted to go into the song."

Release

Mike teased the new single with a series of Tumblr-style images online and debuted a game SURV1VOR on his website. He said, "In the bigger picture, this release takes some of my favorite things about releasing music and assembles them in a different way - with more music, games, challenges, great things to watch, and lots of new art on the way."

The song was released digitally on October 6, 2023, along with an accompanying visualizer on YouTube.

On October 9, 2023, a Spotify-exclusive vinyl of "Already Over" and "In My Head" was announced to followers of Mike, Fort Minor, and Linkin Park on Spotify. Mike's message in the email said, "Hey Everyone, My new song ALREADY OVER is out and to thank you for your support, here's a VERY LIMITED 7-inch vinyl exclusive to top Spotify listeners of my solo music, Fort Minor and LINKIN PARK. Only 1,000 units are available for this offer - until October 16, 2023 at 9:00 AM PDT or while supplies last - so act quickly!"[3] The email with the link to purchase the vinyl was sent out on a rolling basis until it sold out and was not sent in one batch email to start with on October 9. The vinyl was priced at $14.98. The release date of the vinyl was announced as December 8, 2023, but orders began shipping & arriving ahead of time in late November.

On December 1, 2023, Mike released The Crimson Chapter EP which is an eight song EP centered around "Already Over", remixes/reinterpretations of it, and several other tracks.

Throughout late 2023 and 2024, Mike continued releasing "Already Over" live versions from his visits around the world.

Lyrics

Album Version

Bruises, broken in pieces
Spread out 'til they didn't exist
Losing sight of what's decent
And too righteous to know what you did

Maybe it's just survival
Optimistic, but blind
Maybe it's just denial
Out of sight, out of mind

But it's already over
And I don't even know
Looking for a window
That I already closed
No matter how much I want it
How bad I've tried
Nothing's there on the other side
It's already over

Floating in between places
Somewhere that the signal won't work
Hoping you could be nameless
Washed off of the edge of the earth

Maybe you're just entitled
Unaware of your crime
Maybe it's just denial
Out of sight, out of mind

But it's already over
And I don't even know
Looking for a window
That I already closed
No matter how much I want it
How bad I've tried
Nothing's there on the other side
It's already over

Maybe it's just denial
Out of sight
Out of mind

It's already over
And I don't even know
Looking for a window
That I already closed
No matter how much I want it
How bad I've tried
Nothing's there on the other side
Over and I don't even know
Looking for a window
That I already closed
No matter how much I want it
How bad I've tried
Nothing's there on the other side
Much I want it
How bad I've tried
Nothing's there on the other side
It's already over

Fort Minor Mix

Losing sight of what's decent
And too righteous to know what you did
Losing sight of what's decent
And too righteous to know what you did
Losing sight of what's decent
And too righteous to know what you did
Losing sight of what's decent
And too righteous to know what you did
Maybe it's just denial
Out of sight, out of mind
But it's already over

Ready-it's already-it's already-ready
It's al-it's already-it's already-already-ready over (Yeah)
Ready-it's already-it's already-ready
It's al-it's already-it's already (Yo)

It's already over, you didn't even know
Halfway through the game but they like "Jesus, we should go"
Hall of famer hitting like my name is Ichiro
And this is only exhibition, listen, you should see the show
I'm sending people home before they even started
They're sending in regrets that we ain't ever corresponded
Praying for compassion, like the Rapture is upon us
If you don't believe in me, then, you should reassess your conscience
Ask yourself

Maybe it's just denial (Ha)
Out of sight, out of mind

'Cause it's already over
Ready-it's already-it's already-ready
It's al-it's already-it's already-already-ready over (It's already over)
(Yeah) Ready-it's already-it's already-ready
It's al-it's already-it's already

It's already over, better disregard it
Mike gave me the signal to assassinate the target
At the farthest from my hardest still go david on goliaths
If you didn't see it comin, need to broaden your horizons
Still divided?
Looking farther down the line you’ll find I’m already there
And we don’t gotta start a riot cause they already scared
Man any style formed against me should already prepare
Cause we all ready for a battle and ain’t ready to spare
Let’s make it clear

Maybe it's just denial
Out of sight, out of mind

'Cause it's already over
Ready-it's already-it's already-ready
It's al-it's already-it's already-already-ready over (It's already over)
(Yeah) Ready-it's already-it's already-ready
It's al-it's already-it's already
'Cause it's already over
Ready-it's already-it's already-ready
It's al-it's already-it's already-already-ready over (It's already over)
Ready-it's already-it's already-ready
It's al-it's already

Part 2

Silent, stoic on the surface
While the plague is growing underneath
Smiling, tainted into perfect
Hiding razors in-between your teeth

Maybe it's just recital
That I can't stop taking your side
Maybe it's just denial
Out of sight, out of mind

But it's already over, and I don't even know
Looking for a window that I already closed
No matter how much I want it, how bad I've tried
Nothing's there on the other side, it's already over

I'm waiting for the next stage of war
I been patient for what feels ages
I'm pacing forth and back, bracing for the worst day
And this okay, but
I've replayed it over, each frame is vulgar
Each made me more and more anxious
You keep taking more, and keep taking more
And keep taking more, and keep taking

'Cause you wanna say it's final
That my watch ought to run on your time
But maybe it's just denial
Out of sight, out of mind

But it's already over, and I don't even know
Looking for a window that I already closed
No matter how much I want it, how bad I've tried
Nothing's there on the other side
Over, and I don't even know
Looking for a window that I already closed
No matter how much I want it, how bad I've tried
Nothing's there on the other side, it's already over

It's already over
It's already over
It's already over

Damona Version

Bruises, broken in pieces
Spread out 'til they didn't exist
Losing sight of what's decent
And too righteous to know what you did

Maybe it's just survival
Optimistic, but blind
Maybe it's just denial
Out of sight, out of mind

But it's already over
And I don't even know
Looking for a window
That I already closed
No matter how much I want it
How bad I've tried
Nothing's there on the other side
It's already over

Ich lebe zwischen grau'n Wänden
Bin so high, kein Handy-Empfang
Kaltes Wasser, in meiner Kehle
Treib' bis zum Abgrund, vergesse dein' Namen

Maybe you're just entitled
Unaware of your crime
Maybe it's just denial
Out of sight, out of mind

But it's already over
And I don't even know
Looking for a window
That I already closed
No matter how much I want it
How bad I've tried
Nothing's there on the other side
It's already over

Maybe it's just denial
Out of sight
Out of mind

It's already over
And I don't even know
Looking for a window
That I already closed
No matter how much I want it
How bad I've tried
Nothing's there on the other side
Over and I don't even know
Looking for a window
That I already closed
No matter how much I want it
How bad I've tried
Nothing's there on the other side
Much I want it
How bad I've tried
Nothing's there on the other side
It's already over
