A Place For My Head is a song by Linkin Park from the album Hybrid Theory. The song was originally called "Esaul", the name of a friend of the band. There are several versions of the song, including three demos, all called "Esaul", one of them a garage recording. There is a live version on Live in Texas and a remix of it called "Plc.4 Mie Hæd" on Linkin Park's remix album, Reanimation, which was reinterpretated by Amp Live featuring Zion on extra rap vocals. On the Frat Party at the Pankake Festival DVD, there is an |easter egg of a 1999 recording session of this song, notable because it was filmed before singer Chester Bennington got his flame tattoos on his wrists and features different lyrics and much faster rapping by Mike Shinoda than the studio recording of the demo. Also, there is a Staind poster in the background.

The song's lyrics, like those of most Linkin Park songs, deal with angst and alienation - in this case, a relationship in which one partner continually performs small favors for the other, then demands those favors be repaid.

During the Live in Texas show, Linkin Park performed the song second-to-last (the last song being One Step Closer), signaling the crowd to start a massive mosh pit. Towards the end of the song, Chester said "F*** you!!!" Gave the finger, and smashed a guitar in half. Indeed, A Place for My Head was usually one of the last songs performed at Linkin Park concerts. When it is played live, Chester's screaming in the bridge is the part where the crowd gets rowdiest. He mostly perform mid-pitch screams after the "You try to take the best of me" scene. At the KROQ 2003, there was a performance where he growled after the first part of the bridge.
