As far as I know, Last.fm's Year-End charts have never ever listed the Top Tracks of each year, so I tried to compile the calendar-year recaps according to the weekly Top Tracks worldwide chart.
The Year-End charts utilize an inverse point system with tracks collecting points mainly based on rank for each week they were on the chart, plus more or less adjustments according to the listeners of that week, if necessary. In a word, when a track hits No. 1, it earns the greatest point, while earns the least with weeks at No. 25. Listeners registered without entering the weekly top 25 aren't considered in these standings.

Featuring the lyrics I relate most strongly to:

1. NewBorn Link it to the world, link it to yourself, stretch it like a birth squeeze, the love for what you hide, the bitterness inside is growing like the new born, when you've seen, seen too much, too young, young, soulless is everywhere + Hopeless time to roam, the distance to your home, fades away to nowhere, how much are you worth, you can't come down to earth, you're swelling up, you're unstoppable
2. Map of the Problematique Life will flash before my eyes, so scattered and lost, I want to touch the other side, and no one thinks they are to blame, why can't we see that when we bleed we bleed the same? I can't get it right
3. Time Is Running Out You're something beautiful, a contradiction, I wanna play the game, I want the friction + You will be the death of me, yeah you will be the death of me + Bury it, I won't let you bury it, I won't let you smother it, I won't let you murder it + Our time is running out + You will squeeze the life out of me
