"Frgt/10" is the fifth track in the album Reanimation and it is a remix of "Forgotten" from Hybrid Theory.
It is radically different from the original as Bennington's vocals have largely been removed and the song has an emphasis on hip-hop rather than nu metal. It features Alchemist and Chali 2na of Jurassic 5 who rap new verses as well as parts of the chorus originally sung by Bennington.
It was played live in Music for Relief in 2005 with Chali 2na and Jurassic 5.
Lyrics[]
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
We're stuck in a place so dark
You can hardly see
The manner of matter that splits with the words I breathe
And as the rain drips acidic questions around me
I block out the sight and the powers that be
And duck away into the darkness
Times up I wind up in a rusted world with eyes shut so tight that it blurs into the world of
pretend
And the eyes ease open
And it's dark again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care?
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
Listen to the sound
Dizzy from the ups and downs
I'm nauseated by the polluted rock that's all around
Watching the wheels of cars that pass
I look past to the last of the light and the long shadows it casts
A window grows and captures the eye
And cries out a yellow light as it passes me by
And a young shadowy figure sits in front of a box
Inside a building of rock with anntenaes on top, now
Nothing can stop in this land of the pain
The sane lose not knowing they were part of the game
And while the insides change
The box stays the same and the figure inside could bear anybody's name
The memories I keep are from a time like then
I put on my paper so I could come back to them
Someday I'm hoping to close my eyes and pretend
That this crumpled up paper can be perfect again
Yo, from the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
I'm here at this podium talking
The ceremonial offerings dedicated to urban dysfunctional offspring
What's happening?
City governments are eternally napping
Trapped in greedy covenants
Causing urban collapse
And bullets that scar souls with dark holes
Get more than your car stole, some hearts be blacker than charcoal, for real
This society's deprivation depends not on our differences but the separation
within
No reparation is made
Limited age and minimum wage
Living in a tenement cage for innocent pay
Tragedy within a parade
The darkness overspreads like a permanent plague
On the forgotten
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

The video starts off with the short "Chali", while showing a woman in her bedroom. The video then features a person in a green jump suit, a gas mask, and a paint tank with a nozzle on the index finger of the right hand. The character goes around a depressing looking city painting the initials 'LP' on walls. Wherever the person paints, foliage and vegetation grow; this is a similar motif to a part of another band's video, "In The End", where vegetation grew wherever Mike Shinoda walked around. The authorities keep trying to arrest the person and chase the painter until the painter leaps off a rooftop to get to another rooftop. The paint can falls off the person and cracks open. While the authorities are examining the tank, the person crawls up to their bedroom window, takes off their mask, showing it is the woman mentioned above, and she gets into bed. The entire video is computer-animated with the exception of the beginning and end. The woman it shows is featured throughout the album's music videos.
