The band lives in a rundown, artificial habitat that is making its way across the galaxy.

In 2009 the German action-series Alarm für Cobra 11 used a part of the song (the chorus) in an especially sad scene, it was the fourth time that a Linkin Park title was used in the series. It contained several elements of the song throughout, and pieces of the verses, as well as the chorus, were played at the opening and end of the episode. The band made a deal with CBS to work the song into the episode. " Leave Out All the Rest" was the title of a CSI episode that aired on November 6, 2008. Also, the performance from "Road to Revolution" is available on the Twilight special edition DVD. It was also featured on the original motion picture soundtrack for the 2008 film Twilight.

Mike Shinoda has also stated that Rick Rubin (producer for Minutes to Midnight) was the first to have said "This sounds like a massive single". I'm singing 'Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself' during it because it's supposed to feel like an apology letter, as though I'm moving on but I want people to remember the good things and not the bad things. In a Kerrang! review/interview of the band, and the album, vocalist Chester Bennington had this to say about the song, "We knew this was going to be a single from the very beginning, so we worked really hard on making sure it had great lyrics.
At the end of the song of the album version, a crowd can be heard which leads into " Bleed It Out", a song that features the background sound of a crowd throughout. The song starts with a string sample and electric piano intro, followed by the verse. A demo which features Mike Shinoda doing lead vocals can be heard on the Making of Minutes to Midnight documentary, as well as the Linkin Park Underground 9.0 CD where it is entitled "Fear".
The song combines various synths and samples with raw guitars and drums and powerful vocals. While writing, the group went through over thirty lyrical variations before completing the album version. The song's working titles were "Fear" and "When My Time Comes" according to the booklet.
