The song charted before its release on the Polish Singles Chart, and the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks chart. It debuted on the U.S. Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart at #18, which is equivalent to #118. Two weeks later it debuted on the Hot 100 at #89, and has so far reached #15, becoming the band's second top twenty hit on the chart from Minutes to Midnight. It has also so far reached #2 on the Modern Rock Chart (held off the top spot by Foo Fighters hit "Long Road to Ruin"), and #6 on the Mainstream Rock Chart. The week "Shadow of the Day" jumped to the top twenty of the Modern Rock Chart, it made Linkin Park one of only three acts to simultaneously have three songs in the top twenty of the chart, since "Bleed It Out" was at #2, and "What I've Done" was at #13. U2 and R.E.M. are the other two bands to accomplish this feat. U2 did so in 1988 and 1992 and R.E.M. did so in 1988.[9] On the Pop 100, the song has become one of Linkin Park's only top ten hits along with "What I've Done" and "In The End", where it has peaked at #9. "Shadow of the Day" has also become a success on the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart, where it has reached the top ten at #6, becoming the first Linkin Park song to do so on that chart.
"Shadow of the Day" has also been highly successful in many other parts of the world. It has reached the top twenty in over 15 countries, including in Australia (at #15), Canada (at #12), France (at #20), Germany (at #12), New Zealand (at #13), Portugal (at #18), Sweden (at #20), and Switzerland (at #11) among others. In Israel, the song debuted at #24, then one week later the song surprisingly jumped to #4 and later climbed to #3. The song has reached #1 in Singapore. It has also achieved top ten success in Latvia and Poland at #5, as well as in Austria and Taiwan at #6. However the song has fared poorly in the UK, where it has so far peaked at #46, the band's lowest charting single to date there. It is the band's second top ten single from Minutes to Midnight on the United World Chart.
Linkin Park - Shadow of the day
I close both locks below the window.
난 창문을 잠궈
I close both blinds and turn away.
난 블라인드를 닫고 주의를 돌려
Sometimes solutions aren`t so simple.
때때로 해결은 간단하지 않겠지
Sometimes goodbye`s the only way.
때때로 작별이 유일한 방법이겠지
And the sun will set for you
그리고 태양은 널 위해 뜰거야
The sun will set for you.
태양은 널 위해 뜰거야
And the shadow of the day,
낮의 그늘은,
Will embrace the world in grey,
세상을 회색으로 감싸고
And the sun will set for you.
태양은 널 위해 뜰거야
In cards and flowers on your window,
창문에 있는 엽서들과 꽃들
Your friends all plead for you to stay.
너의 친구들은 너에게 기다리라고해
Sometimes beginnings aren`t so simple.
때때로 시작이 간단하지 않겠지
Sometimes goodbye`s the only way.
때때로 작별이 유일한 길이 되겠지
And the sun will set for you,
그리고 태양은 널 위해 뜰거야
The sun will set for you.
태양은 널 위해 뜰거야
And the shadow of the day,
낮의 그늘은,
Will embrace the world in grey,
세상을 회색으로 감싸고
And the sun will set for you.
태양은 널 위해 뜰거야
And the shadow after day,
낮이 지난후의 그늘은
Will embrace the world in grey,
세상을 회색으로 감싸고
And the sun will set for you.
태양은 널 위해 뜰거야
And the shadow after day,
낮이 지난후의 그늘은,
Will embrace the world in grey,
세상을 회색으로 감싸고
And the sun will set for you.
태양은 널 위해 뜰거야
