Bobby Amaru x Saliva x Judge & Jury – “Given Up” | When the Mind Becomes Its Own Worst Enemy

Waking up feeling as though another day has been wasted, only to realize that your own thoughts remain an inescapable place. In his reinterpretation of Linkin Park’s “Given Up,” Bobby Amaru brings this experience of psychological exhaustion into a hard rock and alternative metal setting, preserving the emotional rawness at the heart of the original.

«I’m my own worst enemy» captures the central conflict: an internal struggle where frustration, isolation, and the difficulty of asking for help become part of the same experience. The repetition of «I’ve given up» conveys the exhaustion of someone desperate to understand what is happening but unable to find a way out.

Hard Rock and Alternative Metal with Cathartic Force

Joined by Saliva and Judge & Jury, Amaru approaches the song through a powerful vocal performance rooted in contemporary hard rock. Rather than abandoning the original’s alternative rock anthem character, this version brings forward the distinctive voice of Saliva’s frontman, keeping intensity at the center of its expression.

Giving Words to What Overwhelms Us

Images of confinement and suffocation create a mental cycle that seems to offer no escape. Toward the end, «Put me out of my misery» pushes that tension to its most extreme point. The reinterpretation finds its cathartic dimension in bringing difficult-to-communicate suffering into the open, reminding us of the importance of acknowledging it even when finding the right words feels impossible.
