Apparently while recording this song Chester repeatedly couldn't finish 'cause he kept breaking down into tears halfway through. That's a man that's been through hell and worse. Gives me chills every time
not so sure about that, A common misconception about the song is that it was written by lead singer Chester Bennington due to his struggles with substance abuse. Band member Mike Shinoda began writing the song before he met Bennington based on another close friend's drug addiction. -wiki
Born as a Human, Sang like an Angel, Screamed Like a Demon, Lived as a Hero, Died as a Legend. Not many can be all these 5 in one Lifetime, Chester is one of those few.
To you who is reading this, I know that you are having some bad times right now and I just want you to know that this hard times will pass by, stay strong, life is beautiful.
Whenever i hear "You all assume I'm safe here in my room unless i try to start again" a peace of my heart breaks, he died in his room RIP Chester. He saved us but couldn't save himself
I felt this. I never was a Linkin Park fan until later in high school, and now at 24 with a kid on the way and nearly alcoholic with mental health issues after both my parents dealt drinking, this song is far more introspective for me.
@@drinfernodds I’m only 18 and listend to this when I was like 11/12 and finding it again, the last time I heard it was 2 years ago when I broke my vaping addiction, and seeing it again makes me realize how I have grown:/
Listening to this song on repeat saved me from my dark suicidal thoughts from when i lost my mom and a month after my baby brother passed ill forever be grateful to chesters music and lyrics
He saved lots of lost kids but couldn't save himself. You're gonna live forever through your immortal voice, Chester Bennington. You'll never be forgotten.
That's what happens when you sell your soul and get possessed by demons. They need a way out and d ont have any so they kill themselves or try to speak out against it and get themselves murdered
Ricky Banks Yea exactly why are you saying that Chester got his soul possessed and shit man that’s fucked up. He was abused by an older man when he was young that shit isn’t gonna go away.
Ricky Banks no he struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts, unless you have dealt with that you’ll never understand what leads to someone feeling so hopeless that the only way out is to end their life.
As a person who experiences habits like anger out-bursts and slumps of depression it's easy to relate to this song. Clarity is a treasure, never forget that. It helps you remember what's important.
mega xtrime Well how about instead of talking about it here, go out and find it. And if you can't find it out there, find it in yourself. I'm sure there are things you enjoy doing and people you enjoy doing them with. Anywhere you find enjoyment, that's where you belong.
Chester and this song changed my life... So ı made an acoustic cover for this song and lots of lp songs.... I hope you like it... ruclips.net/video/kZ-2NnPBDqA/видео.html
I would play this song out loud to see if my parents understood what I was going through. My parents really don't pay attention to lyrics of any song for that matter, they can sing them but never get the messages. Years have passed since when this song summarized how I felt, I was 14-16, but I fought through, reinvented myself and I gotta say I'm happy now. But I still remember how turbulent my teen years were. Many tell me to let go of those memories, but I keep them very close so that one day I may help someone else going through the same thing.
I went through some dark times when I was 15, being picked on and not having friends, I thought about ending it. I got through those times and things got better. Drawing helped me, and I also listened to a ton of Linkin Park and Hollywood Undead. This is one of my comfort songs now because I think about pushing through hard times.
This is one of the most honest mainstream songs about depression and suicide I've ever heard. It's lean, it doesn't try to cram a message down our throats, or be preachy or offer some kind of half-assed answer to "feeling better". It's just a 3 minute window into the confusion and hurt people feel. As much as Linkin Park gets made fun of, they do have some songwriting skills.
Not just depression and suicide. This song covers a very broad spectrum of severe "mental illnesses" also. But yeah I agree with you.. entirely relate able from many aspects of life!
Back when songs actually, HAD some meaning to them. To actually Be about life, only to be mocked for being "Bitchy emo trash" Life's complicated. Life's Painful, there's Nothing wrong to make art about that concept. if anything, it actually can help people. It can actually raise awareness to it. *Sigh* Fuck this meme, party, "Im in it for Me" culture.
The best part about music like this is it's so well crafted lyrically that there is no set exact meaning, unless you ask the one who wrote it in any case, and it's able to reference anything that would make it reach the listener. If it can mean one thing to one person, and something different to someone else, while still conveying its message to both, that's true art.
My daughter posted this on her FB page several months ago and I bookmarked it but I didn't fully understand it and take it seriously enough!!! She passed away ten days ago with a needle in her hand in her bedroom! She was telling me her future! Anyone who can personally relate this song, PLEASE tell your parents YOU NEED HELP, make sure we understand what you're really feeling, give us a chance.
My condolences , What about if you just an adult , what about if the person u thought was there for you never was there or when u pray but God never answer? Who should we talk about im trynna look for hope at least on my pregnancy but being treated like shit by life my whole life . I feel nothing is worthy no more .😔
@@lauracruzmusic9604 I was not happy when my daughter got pregnant which was a terrible mistake. Her baby is beautiful. You are too. I was bullied when I was a kid which made me learn to not be concerned with other people's opinions and rely on myself. I hope you are staying clean during your pregnancy if you were ever using before. Write back if you want.
This song helped me when i was suicidal. I cried for hours. It was the first step to me getting help. Now its a reminder that i can get out again if i fall. Its there when im sad. Thank you LP
Well the song is about "breaking the habit tonight", stopping it, forever. The song is clearly about him feeling insecure and wrong, and he thought he should've done a favor to the others, "I don't know how i got this way, i know it's not alright, so I'm breaking the habit", and in the official video is even more clear with a man jumping off the actic.
@@shitmultiverse1404 nope. It's about Mike shinodas friend who was a drug addict. The song was wrote before mike met Chester. But Chester related to it so much he started having breakdowns (if you Don't know Chester was also a drug addict before he joined Linkin park) "I'm breaking the habit" means he is gonna break his habit of taking drugs.
Sounds like anxiety issues. Everybody with them believes that because they may be surrounding you wherever you are. Start doing sports it will help you. Believe me.
We grow older. Life hits us. It's like never before. Our parents aren't there anymore. It's us against the world. We only have each other. What we never understood as kids, we experience first-hand, now.
Chester and this song changed my life... So ı made an acoustic cover for this song and lots of lp songs.... I hope you like it... ruclips.net/video/kZ-2NnPBDqA/видео.html
Even if it wasn't written for a specific meaning, a song like this can have meanings that can reach out and speak to those who have wholly different situations. To others, it can seem almost exactly about their own personal struggles, or those of people around them. I know someone in my life that has some severe mental issues, he suffers from panic attacks and bottles up his feelings, only able to vent explosively long after, launching into tirades that he later admitted scared him, because he was arguing things he didn't truly believe in to the point of absolutely explosive rhetoric, arguments made in anger and confusion. And I know his past has been filled with a lot of trauma. Hearing these lyrics in that light, it's scary just how fitting they can be. Even if if was, as others have said, literally a song about someone detoxing from literal drug addiction... It's just unnerving how fitting it can be for other things, too. I wonder how many people outside of drug addiction can identify with this song, and for what varied reasons?
“I don’t know how I got this way, I’ll never be all right…” I get this on a personal level. It’s a demon that will not let up. I do have good days, but the thoughts always come back and remind me that I could just let go.
5 years ago i used to be a Linkin Park fan like millions others across the world. Gradually i evolved into a metalhead. The other day i was having a discussion with a group of friends with varied tastes and preferences in music ranging from house to rap to rock to metal. We discovered none of us had common tastes anymore, but we all have one common root, Linkin Park. Its amazing how all of us in the discussion had no interest whatsoever in the musical tastes of others and yet all had emerged from being LP fans. Thankyou Linkin Park :) you united us in music.
To me, it sounds like a song about facing addiction. But that may be because im recovering from a heroin addiction. Especially the lyrics "I dont whats worth fighting for, or why i have to scream" just hits home for me. Its like the perfect example of what i feel. I dont know what is best for me..sobriety or drugs, because both feel so hopeless
DruggedUpRedneck it is a song about recovery watch the animated music video that they posted for it I however listen to it to enforce my willon the world as isuccumb toguilt tripping quite easillyand enjoy an influence that gives me clarities
It's safe to say that Linkin Park is among one of the greatest bands in the history of music. These guys were both revolutionary and legendary, and people who aren't even fans of the genre will know who Linkin Park is.
I have been Listening to Linkin Park for 13 years since I was about 4. To think I grew up with privilege of listening to their stories and relating to them. Even after two nearly three whole years Chester has been dead. I can’t believe it even to this day. I never met him or any of his other band mates, but I still love and care for every last one of them. This band cured my depression that I had suffered for most of my life. I am 17 and I’ve had depression for about 11 years and god... this band really taught me how to pick myself back up. I didn’t want to send a sad story about how my life is so miserable, but in the end this band really taught me how to live, love, and laugh.
@@AntasmaTheBatKing you should try telling your actual father i assume hes in your life your feelings and it could help. I've been there when i was 16 i had 1 friend that was disinterested i have an infactuation with a girl i liked i went to counselling lived in a place where you could only leave by vehicle for safety reasons and had no gf and was sad over a friends suicide and suffered from delusions and scitzophrenia and anger was a little bit racist even and the only ppl i told my feelings to were ppl online on msn and teen chat/bebo but 15 years later i'd had 3 gfs sparred a world boxing champ, take meds got help, have fantastic friends i no longer have that infactuation and i now realise how disturbing and scary that is and sounds am no longer suicidal no longer have delusions no longer live in that depressing area am more anti racist now as my sister dates a blk man and i have a mixed race nephew and i have hope no more counselling now i take it day by day tho but out there theres a kid listening to this who needs the help and i truely hope they find it i really do godbless x
@@johnj.anthonymcquade6876 I wasn't suicidal, I just felt like I had no father growing up, since when I apologized to him on the phone, he shouted, and I quote: "I DON'T GIVE A F*CK!" And that REALLY hurt me on the inside. Note: This happened when I was just a "Bat Prince", at 8 years old.
He saved my life countless times. I’m glad I found their music when I was young. Being an outcast, loner, neurotic dude, I really identify with his lyrics and gave me the language to get through the hardest times in my life. Rest In Peace Chester, wild how one man touched and changed millions of lives across the world.
A common misconception about the song is that it was written by lead singer Chester Bennington due to his struggles with substance abuse. In fact, band member Mike Shinoda began writing the song before he met Bennington based on another close friend's drug addiction. "It was written for Chester Bennington since he had issues with narcotics," Mike Shinoda. He showed the lyrics he wrote to Chester who read them and teared up, relating to the words to a point where he had difficulty performing the song live for almost a year after the release of Meteora.
I’m an old man (50) at least to my nephews. But I like Linkin Park a lot. There music is intense, visual and spiritual. Linki Park reminds me of Rush during the 80’s. Whole new sound of alternative music, quite cerebral. There lyrics are among the best I’ve ever read, so damn intense!
I'm right there with you, grew up listening to 70's 80's music but there's something about Linkin Park. It could be that Rush Is one of my favorite bands.
if people opened their eyes they would see that this song is about cutting. clutching the cure=knife/scalpel/razor/scissors etc. tightly locking the door=not wanting anyone to see. catching your breath again=preparing yourself to cut yourself again. I hurt much more than anything before=cutting deeper then before. I had no options yet again=people who cut feel like theres no other option BUT to cut.
+Linkin Leon If you look at the lyrics the song seems more like it's about suicide I don't know what's worth fighting for - Doesn't know what to live for/no purpose to live I'll Paint it on the Walls - Telling why he is commiting suicide and/or the blood from his body This is how it ends - him ending his life Because i'm lazy i'm not gonna explain the rest of the lyrics and just tell you to watch the official video and see if that can help change your mind
Pop has never been good its not something that happens ''nowadays'' but pop songs are also the ones getting forget because at the end they dont change lifes they dont inspire people.
TheIndieGamesNL well thats not entirely true. there are many inspring pop songs. they are just more infrequent on radios i guess. ive been inspired by pop songs before just as well as whatever genre youd call linkin park. im not good at song types. "titanium" "perfect" just to name a few.
InsanityRena Okey yes i have to give you some credit, sometimes pop songs have meanings but mostly the stereotype is sex and partying, then you also have stuff like britt pop alternative pop rock etc. so the line is pretty blurry (''blurred lines btw sucks'')
TheIndieGamesNL yeah that is true i guess (and blurred lines is basically the embodiment of the general population's ignorance and stupidity, but thats not the point.) but the style of these popular pop songs are to make people feel good, and most people dont listen to the lyrics anyway. i just wanted to say was that both genres can be inspiring and not and its basically just the singular song. i mean i dont really like the pop songs you've described, but that only has to do with the voices, style, repitition, etc., but i cant say the genre as a whole is better than things like linkin park and stuff, cos these kinds of songs can be pretty depressing and sometimes encourage sadness. but then again, its based on a persons individiual opinion and interpretation after all, so i wont call you out on having an opinion!
@@sc4rs there is a huge difference between depression and edgy. Edgy people are dead inside and act like they don't care about anything. Deppressed people like me are?..... Depressed.......
This is my favorite linkin park song cause of its duality and depending on your state of mind you can take it as two different ways. One way is with committing suicide or the other is pulling yourself out of the darkness and “breaking the habit/cycle “ I really wish Chester could’ve done the latter but not everything can be healed. This is one of the few songs from this band that talks about helping yourself out of the darkness that i’ve heard.
This song has saved me so many times.....God bless Chester and may he be at peace. I dont care what your belief is, he suffered enough....May he be at peace and God help those who wronged him.
fighting depression, and suicidal tendencies; this song really speaks to me, listening to songs like this, songs that express the pain that others and I feel, it really helps.. I've tried to "break the habit" many times.. everyone has their own habit, mine is self harming (cutting, bruising, drug abuse, etc.) I have lost hope at many points in my life and have tried to end it.. but I know that there is hope in this world, if not for me then for all of you have similar problems.. from fighting depression, fighting others, or fighting yourself.. just know that just because you're alone for what seems like an eternity, you will get through it. I know for a fact that you will get through it, whether its by yourself or with the help of others.. just keep fighting, never give up. Everyone has their own problems but we can all make it through these tough times. If you feel alone, and you feel like no one is there for you, I'm here for you. I may not know your name but I know that we can make it. If you feel that this helped at all, I'm glad :), please take care of yourselves and try to have a good day.
For all my friends out there in a dark place; this is for you. This lyrics has spoken to you, and I think we all know what it's about. Unfortunately (as most now know)the head singer that we all know and love killed him self, took his life, etc.. But you miss him don't you? You wish that he never did such a utter full move, huh? I know what some of you are thinking and I know y'all loved him but ask yourself this.. "Is it worth me giving up my life for?" People loved him and looked up to him. Some fans shy others rowdy, but still fans; correct. What about your fans? Your family, friends, lover ( gf, bf, hub, wife, etc..) or even your companion(s). What about you? Why should you take a life that was brought into this world to live and be happy! And for my younger audience... It will all be over soon, besides he is watching over all of his fans. Fans just like y'all. ----------------------------------------------- *My Note* : Sometimes you take the wrong turn, but that never means that your lost. So, keep finding a way out and try to enjoy whatever you can; no matter how small the time you have that happiness may be. *~In my eyes you are worth fighting for~* ( Sorry for any grammar mistakes ) 2020 Edit: Hey guys, it’s been a while hasn’t it? I’ve read everyone’s comments, and everyone has mixed emotions. I completely understand. If anyone wants to talk 1v1 whether it be a rant, need of any advise, etc. You’re always welcome to contact me (via my Discord: 🤍Klaus The CornSnake🤍#3710) .
The fact that someone took the time to type this out for a complete stranger who he/she doesn't know (the reader of the comments) but knowing that they might read this shows that you (the reader) already have people who care about you. They might not know you, but the message to take out of this, and of the song as well is that you're not alone. You might be lonely, but you're not alone. Take care, whatever you decide to do, but if you ever need people to talk to, you will find them. YOU'RE NOT ALONE. And one more thing: accept what's happening THIS MOMENT, and it will be easier to deal with. A lot of pain in our lives is just from resisting a fact that we can't change (at least not in the moment) and then it just kills us slowly. Just accept it, and cry it out, but accept it, breathe the knowledge through your whole body, and THEN decide what you want to do about it, look for the truth. I hope this helps. That's all that anyone is trying to do. Take care, brother/sister
Heard this on the radio today. I’ve always heard it but never payed attention. Today wasn’t a good day. I heard this when driving to school with my dad. “Another boring stupid emo song,” I thought. Now that I see the lyrics, I want to hear it voluntarily. I’ve never been ok. I feel like I’ll never be happy again, but this gives me a little bit of hope that maybe im not alone. Maybe I can be myself. Maybe I can be better. Maybe I can find a loophole and break my habits. Maybe somebody else is like me.
We all have times when all these seems meaningless and why are we even here what are we even doing… BUT trust me it will pass too!!! Life truly is beautiful…. For starters,Get sunlight everyday for 15-20 minutes, you’ll fell different…. ☀️
I've listened to this song since I was really young, but it never really had much meaning besides being a good song. Now this means everything to me. This describes all my emotions and desires, I now know and appreciate this song for everything it has done for me, and I hope to one day recover from all the things that has happen, but like the song says, I dont think ill ever be alright, despite what anyone thinks or says....
You can get better you can trust me I wish you were in front of me right no. :) it's possible you can do it, i'm trying to get off pain killers and it's hard. I had an accident almost 3 years ago 12 operations, I died got revived, blood transfusion, 2 months in hospital almost lost my limbs, could not walk for about 6 months even stand up or move a toe. The pain ohhh the pain was unbearable, so so bad in my lower legs. I overcame all of that and some people even go through harder situations. That's not all of the story of my life. I wish I could be your friend to teach this to you and to see what you can teach me as well. Blessed are the meek:for they shall inherit the world. Once yuo get over your traumas, your pain, your suffering you will find out that the grass is greener on the other side only if you decide to water it. I'm slowing down on the pain killers and it's working I feel how I need them less every day, I still have to go to rehab and a psychologist, but you know what it's all right because I know I will be ok. We are way tuffer and stronger than we think, we just have to discover it. Take care, nobody understands us like ourselves I understand what you said that is so so true. You get it, I bet you could teach me so much too...I love learning and discovering that we are strong beings of good but only if we decide so....like ichigo, like naruto, and even sasuke at the end.
Thank you, I understand that you have gone through your fair share of hardships as well. I do hope to one day find hope again. I guess you could say that in a way I already did. You were right. I've actually seen changes. Not much but I believe it is a much greater improvement than before. Your words meant alot. I appreciate that you took the time to tell me this, I know I keep repeating myself, but thank you truly. I hope you and I both end up finding our way into the light and away from all this darkness one day...
This song is exactly what depression and anxiety feels like. Though it seems endless, it's temporary. And though the depression and anxiety will come back, you will be that much more grateful for the good day's that are around the corner, they come back too.
*Born as a human* *Lived as a hero* *Sang like an angel* *Screamed like the devil* *Died as a legend.* *RIP Chester. We love you. We miss you. We will fight for you*
Chester was telling the world through his music how he was at war with himself and how much he wanted it to end knowing he wasn't going to win. It's in most all the lyrics in their music. R.I.P. Chester, finally free from darkness, hopelessness and despair. Be the light !
Hearing this song makes me think of my dad. He was diagnosed with cancer because he was a smoker. It’s more sad to think about because even after he was diagnosed he still continued to smoke. I wanted to tell him to stop but was afraid to be a he always talked about how he wanted to die. He passed away a year later. After he passed I heard this song a broke into tears. Rest In Peace dad, I miss you.
That same thing happened to my mom of only 53 she finally stopped smoking 3 days before she passed only cuz we wouldn't give them to her anymore :'( I SOOO feel your pain.
@@jenniferholmes6644 53??? That's so young! An average person dies at least 84. So she had so much years to live, i don't get why they just ban ciggerates, so many families have been damaged and it even says on the box that there harmful............
RIP Chester Bennington This hits home for me. Many times in my life while battling my depression and especially during my drug addiction, I would play this song over and over and over as loud as possible and I would sing the lyrics to this song while crying. I wanted to kill myself while listening to this song so many times. Not because of the music but because I could relate to every single word on this song. Listen to the lyrics. I used to express myself through music during my darkest moments in my life. I thought they were just lyrics but apparently not. He was hurting, as I was too and this song would have been my suicide song. 😢 😢 I will miss him greatly
The song that motivated me to be in Action, the song that kicked me to break the habit of being lazy and lying on the bed all the time. The leap I took from my sedentary life style to the person who ran till he injured his knees, but still never gave up on running. This song, the reason behind my transformation and my progression. Today, I'm 25kilos lighter and a Doctor.
Kids really end up identifying with this song. We end up with so many teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 and they all love this song. and they can’t place why and then they become adults. We get into the ages of late 20s and all of a sudden they have a partner,and with that partner they fight and they bicker,and then they listen to this song again, and suddenly it’s true meaning becomes clear. We must break the habit of the toxic ideals, we learned as children.
Before watching this video I didn't understand the lyrics (Im russian), except the "Breaking the habit" and something else. But now i see more, hear more. Feel more. Love you, Chester
A kid in my class did a presentation for a progect and he did this band and showed us the song numb by them then he told us that chester commited suicide and my eye watered now i am stuck with this music rest in peace chester at least you are in a better place than before
In the first chorus when he sang 'I don't know what's worth fighting for,' my cat I've had for a few years looked straight into my eyes. I'm feeling awful at the moment, and he may be "just a cat" to a lot of people and there's a lot of people going through much worse than me, I understand that, but the look he gave me at that moment made me feel a little better
The really sad thing is he didn't actually write this song (Mike did about another friend of his who struggled with addiction) but Chester related to the lyrics so much he repeatedly broke down during recordings.
when I was little this was just a good song no feelings and emotions... But when I grew older In my teens this song means so much now I didn't know why I figured that out before.😔this song actually makes me tear up and makes me want to scream inside so bad.!!!.
i broke the habit years ago when i felt i was never going to live past 18...my life was so depressing as a teen thankfully im much more differently now
LightningRyderz Thats stupid. Many ppl have it worse than you and had it and they push it. We are human. We push the limits and while animals need to adapt when things change we change things and dont need to adapt. Becasue we are so impressive you cant just give up. Just find true morals. Find bad morals in what deppresses you and you will live better. I read a lot of pshyhology when i was your age and i was inspired with army morals long before i was 12 so i know how soldiers faught in wars, that can also help. We are great. And we need to learn to respect our selves and our surroundings. So as long as you don;t give up you are good to go.
This came on the radio earlier and a few minutes later I learned he had left us. I am so sad and my heart hurts for his children and wife. Rest In Peace man. Love and Light to his family and to all of his friends and supporters.
Leo Qoubach Dont say that....not yet at least.....I just found out too but still let them actually EVERYONE mourn him including ourselves for awhile (an EXTREMLEY long while for that matter actaully) and then after which will see if they can get a singer who sounds exactly like Christopher Bennington. (oh and of course.....R.I.P.)
Ik it's depressing but remember we hear him in our minds telling us right from wrong in the end it doesn't even matter how hard u tried breaking the habit creates a new devide
Therapists are a sham..its basically talking to your friends or family except they have a degree or whatever and want your money..ive realized youre better off figuring things out for yourself and finding what makes you a feel a certain way..no one knows the way you feel better than yourself
"I dont want to be the one, the battles always choose, cause inside I realize, that I'm the one confused". I really felt that way. Not understanding why I'm a way I dont wanna be, realizing how confused I really am..
I'm curious if any roblox users who have encountered me will read this comment then notice my username (note: on everything (except Geometry Dash) that I have an account on, I have the same username. Starianna79)
I cry when i listen to their music cause Chester was truly special and so so talented and some the best moments and memories i have ever had was when i was sitting down listening to their Hybrid Theory album. I fell in love with Linkin Park at a young age and only learned to love them more and more as i grew. It absolutely destroyed me to know what Chester was feeling all this time and to see him go too soon. R.I.P Chester Bennington you will forever live in my heart and many many others.
Can't believe I was so stupid not to realize it. This song gives us a lot of hints.. I feel more terrible now.😭 But at least Chester is in peace. He will always be an our hearts..😢
Dhika Suarya I honestly cried any time he's mentioned of TV or RUclips. LP has been in my life since I was little and it's not the same now that Chester is gone
Well done mate. Good to hear the shortness of your comment makes me know what u say is real. If you do ever muck up and go back ,just remmember u got threw it once and you can do it again. My addictions are nothing compared to the addiction of heroin . all the best.
Knowing what we know now, these lyrics are chilling. It's a pretty obvious cry for help that sadly went unanswered. Maybe if someone had listened, we wouldn't have lost so much talent way too soon. RIP Chester :(
I wish it were possible to embrace his voice and stay glued like that forever, I don't know how else to express this feeling... I adore his voice and their songs and don't know what to do with this feeling of incomplete :(
Apparently while recording this song Chester repeatedly couldn't finish 'cause he kept breaking down into tears halfway through. That's a man that's been through hell and worse. Gives me chills every time
Wow
I heard Mike wrote him this song

I'm actually feeling great tho
Life is not so beautiful. Unfortunately.
@@Sixman__ hold on yeah it is
berzerk dude I covered this song yesterday on my guitar. Linkin Park is awesome. I miss Chester🤘🏾🎸😢
Whenever i hear "You all assume I'm safe here in my room unless i try to start again" a peace of my heart breaks, he died in his room
RIP Chester.
He saved us but couldn't save himself
right
He pulled an irønman
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭...still breaks my heart just thinking about how much he shaped my youth and how he was taken away from all of us.....
Wait.. linking park is dead?
UmbreonTwinkle yes the main sing hung himself. The rest of the band are out finding themselves.
The older i get the more meaningful linkin park's lyrics are
Agreed
+Hoang Nguyen Same here
+Ry K its about suicide
+Ry K I think that it is a harmful addiction
trueeeeee
My 15 year old self jammed to this. Now, my 25 year old self is literally crying to this.
I felt this. I never was a Linkin Park fan until later in high school, and now at 24 with a kid on the way and nearly alcoholic with mental health issues after both my parents dealt drinking, this song is far more introspective for me.
@@drinfernodds ❤❤
@@notj9641 🖤🖤. Im doing a lot better with the drinking, and I don't want my baby to have to go through what I did.
@@drinfernodds whata legend. Glad to hear that!!
@@drinfernodds I’m only 18 and listend to this when I was like 11/12 and finding it again, the last time I heard it was 2 years ago when I broke my vaping addiction, and seeing it again makes me realize how I have grown:/
Listening to this song on repeat saved me from my dark suicidal thoughts from when i lost my mom and a month after my baby brother passed ill forever be grateful to chesters music and lyrics
I know this is 2 months later, but I hope you are doing better now, and I hope you have a good rest of your day.
I send you love and prayers 🤍
Just remember gods always there for you
Much love and power to you brother! Live long..❤️
May the three of you rest in Heaven with our Father. 🙏🙏🙏
He saved lots of lost kids but couldn't save himself. You're gonna live forever through your immortal voice, Chester Bennington. You'll never be forgotten.
That's what happens when you sell your soul and get possessed by demons. They need a way out and d ont have any so they kill themselves or try to speak out against it and get themselves murdered
@@rickyclark2021 Why would you say that he was possessed and sold his soul?
Ricky Banks Yea exactly why are you saying that Chester got his soul possessed and shit man that’s fucked up. He was abused by an older man when he was young that shit isn’t gonna go away.
Ricky Banks no he struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts, unless you have dealt with that you’ll never understand what leads to someone feeling so hopeless that the only way out is to end their life.
Wow...I was a Lost teen still somewhat lost Chester spoke for us all and he won't be forgotten.
As a person who experiences habits like anger out-bursts and slumps of depression it's easy to relate to this song. Clarity is a treasure, never forget that. It helps you remember what's important.
same...
Amen.
Ucha Nekome got that right.
Unfortunately there's nothing left important in my life, but I still keep going hoping one day to find something important to me
mega xtrime Well how about instead of talking about it here, go out and find it. And if you can't find it out there, find it in yourself. I'm sure there are things you enjoy doing and people you enjoy doing them with. Anywhere you find enjoyment, that's where you belong.
"I'll NEVER fight again,and this is how it ends"
That part killed me
glad to see you can still write something even when you're dead, you dumb little dickweed
The band this is how it ends like wow and that's how it ended
What got me, more like what I can relate to most rn is "I dont know how I got this way, I'll never be alright." Lyrics are powerful things.
Eugene Hugh Gene wtf?
Chester and this song changed my life... So ı made an acoustic cover for this song and lots of lp songs.... I hope you like it...

I would play this song out loud to see if my parents understood what I was going through. My parents really don't pay attention to lyrics of any song for that matter, they can sing them but never get the messages.
Years have passed since when this song summarized how I felt, I was 14-16, but I fought through, reinvented myself and I gotta say I'm happy now.
But I still remember how turbulent my teen years were. Many tell me to let go of those memories, but I keep them very close so that one day I may help someone else going through the same thing.
I went through some dark times when I was 15, being picked on and not having friends, I thought about ending it. I got through those times and things got better. Drawing helped me, and I also listened to a ton of Linkin Park and Hollywood Undead. This is one of my comfort songs now because I think about pushing through hard times.
This is one of the most honest mainstream songs about depression and suicide I've ever heard. It's lean, it doesn't try to cram a message down our throats, or be preachy or offer some kind of half-assed answer to "feeling better". It's just a 3 minute window into the confusion and hurt people feel. As much as Linkin Park gets made fun of, they do have some songwriting skills.
*claps*
Dude, I can't even explain how well you worded that..
Just Thank You man, Thank You

Shinoda lyrics.
i just like the sound lol wtf
Not just depression and suicide. This song covers a very broad spectrum of severe "mental illnesses" also. But yeah I agree with you.. entirely relate able from many aspects of life!
Back when songs actually, HAD some meaning to them. To actually Be about life, only to be mocked for being "Bitchy emo trash"
Life's complicated. Life's Painful, there's Nothing wrong to make art about that concept. if anything, it actually can help people. It can actually raise awareness to it. *Sigh* Fuck this meme, party, "Im in it for Me" culture.
The best part about music like this is it's so well crafted lyrically that there is no set exact meaning, unless you ask the one who wrote it in any case, and it's able to reference anything that would make it reach the listener.
If it can mean one thing to one person, and something different to someone else, while still conveying its message to both, that's true art.
yea past I would say 2007 music started sucking
Oh god not fucking THIS again.
+pistendee r *_people have lives you fuck_*
I don't give a fuck about that. I'm tired of the bitching about "UUUGH THIS GENERASHUN SUXXX".
My daughter posted this on her FB page several months ago and I bookmarked it but I didn't fully understand it and take it seriously enough!!! She passed away ten days ago with a needle in her hand in her bedroom! She was telling me her future! Anyone who can personally relate this song, PLEASE tell your parents YOU NEED HELP, make sure we understand what you're really feeling, give us a chance.
My condolences ,
What about if you just an adult , what about if the person u thought was there for you never was there or when u pray but God never answer?
Who should we talk about im trynna look for hope at least on my pregnancy but being treated like shit by life my whole life . I feel nothing is worthy no more .😔
@@lauracruzmusic9604 I was not happy when my daughter got pregnant which was a terrible mistake. Her baby is beautiful. You are too. I was bullied when I was a kid which made me learn to not be concerned with other people's opinions and rely on myself. I hope you are staying clean during your pregnancy if you were ever using before. Write back if you want.
Oh my god. I'm so sorry that this happened to you, and her. I hope she's safe now, and feels better about everything.
This song still haunts me. Everything about what happened to her haunts me. It's been 9 months as of today.
") won't work aunt my family is something that cannot be described and so do my feelings
This song helped me when i was suicidal. I cried for hours. It was the first step to me getting help. Now its a reminder that i can get out again if i fall. Its there when im sad. Thank you LP
The Shadow Army I wished it could help my friend
My daughter posted this on her FB page months before she died and I interpret the song as her telling me her future
Let him serve as an example. Don't let the bastards win.
Well the song is about "breaking the habit tonight", stopping it, forever. The song is clearly about him feeling insecure and wrong, and he thought he should've done a favor to the others, "I don't know how i got this way, i know it's not alright, so I'm breaking the habit", and in the official video is even more clear with a man jumping off the actic.
@@shitmultiverse1404 nope. It's about Mike shinodas friend who was a drug addict. The song was wrote before mike met Chester. But Chester related to it so much he started having breakdowns (if you Don't know Chester was also a drug addict before he joined Linkin park) "I'm breaking the habit" means he is gonna break his habit of taking drugs.
Rest in peace, Chester. Thanks for bringing such excellent music into our lives.
Rest in Peace Chester. Your music always did help me through hard times
Pretty sure he's not gonna read this...
KnivesOfTheRound ouch
DJ Vala stay away from that poison
Caspianm2 truth
"I don't know how I got this way, I'll never be alright..." - it's scary how true this rings for me...
It's a 3 minute long suicide note.
i know right its weird how that relates to me too.
Sounds like anxiety issues. Everybody with them believes that because they may be surrounding you wherever you are. Start doing sports it will help you. Believe me.
We grow older. Life hits us. It's like never before. Our parents aren't there anymore. It's us against the world. We only have each other. What we never understood as kids, we experience first-hand, now.
Chester and this song changed my life... So ı made an acoustic cover for this song and lots of lp songs.... I hope you like it...
ruclips.net/video/kZ-2NnPBDqA/видео.html
Even if it wasn't written for a specific meaning, a song like this can have meanings that can reach out and speak to those who have wholly different situations. To others, it can seem almost exactly about their own personal struggles, or those of people around them. I know someone in my life that has some severe mental issues, he suffers from panic attacks and bottles up his feelings, only able to vent explosively long after, launching into tirades that he later admitted scared him, because he was arguing things he didn't truly believe in to the point of absolutely explosive rhetoric, arguments made in anger and confusion. And I know his past has been filled with a lot of trauma.
Hearing these lyrics in that light, it's scary just how fitting they can be. Even if if was, as others have said, literally a song about someone detoxing from literal drug addiction...
It's just unnerving how fitting it can be for other things, too. I wonder how many people outside of drug addiction can identify with this song, and for what varied reasons?
Listening to LP years later and realizing how fitting to my experience of BPD it is was chilling
“I don’t know how I got this way, I’ll never be all right…” I get this on a personal level. It’s a demon that will not let up. I do have good days, but the thoughts always come back and remind me that I could just let go.
5 years ago i used to be a Linkin Park fan like millions others across the world. Gradually i evolved into a metalhead. The other day i was having a discussion with a group of friends with varied tastes and preferences in music ranging from house to rap to rock to metal. We discovered none of us had common tastes anymore, but we all have one common root, Linkin Park. Its amazing how all of us in the discussion had no interest whatsoever in the musical tastes of others and yet all had emerged from being LP fans. Thankyou Linkin Park :) you united us in music.
R.I.P chester Bennington. one of the greatest vocalist of all Time. we all grew up listening to him.
Kay Zee except for people who, ya know, didn't grow up listening to him; just saying
True true😖
To me, it sounds like a song about facing addiction. But that may be because im recovering from a heroin addiction. Especially the lyrics "I dont whats worth fighting for, or why i have to scream" just hits home for me. Its like the perfect example of what i feel. I dont know what is best for me..sobriety or drugs, because both feel so hopeless
Kay Zee yes we did
DruggedUpRedneck it is a song about recovery watch the animated music video that they posted for it
I however listen to it to enforce my willon the world as isuccumb toguilt tripping quite easillyand enjoy an influence that gives me clarities
It's safe to say that Linkin Park is among one of the greatest bands in the history of music. These guys were both revolutionary and legendary, and people who aren't even fans of the genre will know who Linkin Park is.
I have been Listening to Linkin Park for 13 years since I was about 4. To think I grew up with privilege of listening to their stories and relating to them. Even after two nearly three whole years Chester has been dead. I can’t believe it even to this day. I never met him or any of his other band mates, but I still love and care for every last one of them. This band cured my depression that I had suffered for most of my life. I am 17 and I’ve had depression for about 11 years and god... this band really taught me how to pick myself back up. I didn’t want to send a sad story about how my life is so miserable, but in the end this band really taught me how to live, love, and laugh.
I feel your pain... Chester Bennington was like a FATHER to me... And he still is, even in death...
@@AntasmaTheBatKing you should try telling your actual father i assume hes in your life your feelings and it could help. I've been there when i was 16 i had 1 friend that was disinterested i have an infactuation with a girl i liked i went to counselling lived in a place where you could only leave by vehicle for safety reasons and had no gf and was sad over a friends suicide and suffered from delusions and scitzophrenia and anger was a little bit racist even and the only ppl i told my feelings to were ppl online on msn and teen chat/bebo but 15 years later i'd had 3 gfs sparred a world boxing champ, take meds got help, have fantastic friends i no longer have that infactuation and i now realise how disturbing and scary that is and sounds am no longer suicidal no longer have delusions no longer live in that depressing area am more anti racist now as my sister dates a blk man and i have a mixed race nephew and i have hope no more counselling now i take it day by day tho but out there theres a kid listening to this who needs the help and i truely hope they find it i really do godbless x
@@johnj.anthonymcquade6876
I wasn't suicidal, I just felt like I had no father growing up, since when I apologized to him on the phone, he shouted, and I quote: "I DON'T GIVE A F*CK!" And that REALLY hurt me on the inside.
Note: This happened when I was just a "Bat Prince", at 8 years old.
He saved my life countless times. I’m glad I found their music when I was young. Being an outcast, loner, neurotic dude, I really identify with his lyrics and gave me the language to get through the hardest times in my life. Rest In Peace Chester, wild how one man touched and changed millions of lives across the world.
I swear Linkin Park is my life soundtrack...

10 years later, we're still here. Rest in peace, Chester. Your legacy and your message will live on.
Rip chester
A common misconception about the song is that it was written by lead singer Chester Bennington due to his struggles with substance abuse. In fact, band member Mike Shinoda began writing the song before he met Bennington based on another close friend's drug addiction. "It was written for Chester Bennington since he had issues with narcotics," Mike Shinoda. He showed the lyrics he wrote to Chester who read them and teared up, relating to the words to a point where he had difficulty performing the song live for almost a year after the release of Meteora.
Ethan S. Wow did not know this, tnx for the information
awesome story! thank you!
I’m an old man (50) at least to my nephews. But I like Linkin Park a lot. There music is intense, visual and spiritual. Linki Park reminds me of Rush during the 80’s. Whole new sound of alternative music, quite cerebral. There lyrics are among the best I’ve ever read, so damn intense!
I like Rush too!
@@petedogg47 of course you do its fucking rush man 😆
50 is still so young dude. You are not a old man.
I'm right there with you, grew up listening to 70's 80's music but there's something about Linkin Park. It could be that Rush Is one of my favorite bands.
I am almost 50 and I love linkin park too
Damn. The background music with the synth and violin is gorgeous.
maan veeeryy crazyy
I know! I'll never not love this song
RIP chester. linkin park is the best group of the world
if people opened their eyes they would see that this song is about cutting.
clutching the cure=knife/scalpel/razor/scissors etc.
tightly locking the door=not wanting anyone to see.
catching your breath again=preparing yourself to cut yourself again.
I hurt much more than anything before=cutting deeper then before.
I had no options yet again=people who cut feel like theres no other option BUT to cut.
K
+Linkin Leon If you look at the lyrics the song seems more like it's about suicide
I don't know what's worth fighting for - Doesn't know what to live for/no purpose to live
I'll Paint it on the Walls - Telling why he is commiting suicide and/or the blood from his body
This is how it ends - him ending his life
Because i'm lazy i'm not gonna explain the rest of the lyrics and just tell you to watch the official video and see if that can help change your mind
***** Fair enough
true. i figured that out too
+hateylikey123 I thought it was rather obvious that it was about self destructive habits like cutting
This song really speaks to people, why is music nowadays all about love sex and partys.... I mean dude
Pop has never been good its not something that happens ''nowadays'' but pop songs are also the ones getting forget because at the end they dont change lifes they dont inspire people.
TheIndieGamesNL well thats not entirely true. there are many inspring pop songs. they are just more infrequent on radios i guess. ive been inspired by pop songs before just as well as whatever genre youd call linkin park. im not good at song types. "titanium" "perfect" just to name a few.
InsanityRena Okey yes i have to give you some credit, sometimes pop songs have meanings but mostly the stereotype is sex and partying, then you also have stuff like britt pop alternative pop rock etc. so the line is pretty blurry (''blurred lines btw sucks'')
TheIndieGamesNL yeah that is true i guess (and blurred lines is basically the embodiment of the general population's ignorance and stupidity, but thats not the point.) but the style of these popular pop songs are to make people feel good, and most people dont listen to the lyrics anyway. i just wanted to say was that both genres can be inspiring and not and its basically just the singular song. i mean i dont really like the pop songs you've described, but that only has to do with the voices, style, repitition, etc., but i cant say the genre as a whole is better than things like linkin park and stuff, cos these kinds of songs can be pretty depressing and sometimes encourage sadness. but then again, its based on a persons individiual opinion and interpretation after all, so i wont call you out on having an opinion!
InsanityRena Guess your right, then again I don't listen much linkin park i prefer coldplay,travis,2doorscinemaclub, 3 doors down etc.
My parents would always blast linkin park when I was a little girl, know that I've grown to a teenager I'll always know all of these songs by heart.
The early 2000’s, the era of the best edgy songs. The legend will be forever remembered.

I refuse to break the habit of this song.... ITS TOO GOOD
Yes!
:)
Agreed. Love it too much!
no bad lol
JustinBieber Take your negativity away from here please
This is my favorite linkin park song cause of its duality and depending on your state of mind you can take it as two different ways. One way is with committing suicide or the other is pulling yourself out of the darkness and “breaking the habit/cycle “ I really wish Chester could’ve done the latter but not everything can be healed. This is one of the few songs from this band that talks about helping yourself out of the darkness that i’ve heard.
"I'll never fight again. And this is how it ends."
This song has saved me so many times.....God bless Chester and may he be at peace. I dont care what your belief is, he suffered enough....May he be at peace and God help those who wronged him.
He deserved more. I hope he's at peace.
bless you

"may he be at peace."? Did you just assume his gender?

this brings back memories damn
why do you say this? what do you mean?
fighting depression, and suicidal tendencies; this song really speaks to me, listening to songs like this, songs that express the pain that others and I feel, it really helps.. I've tried to "break the habit" many times.. everyone has their own habit, mine is self harming (cutting, bruising, drug abuse, etc.) I have lost hope at many points in my life and have tried to end it.. but I know that there is hope in this world, if not for me then for all of you have similar problems.. from fighting depression, fighting others, or fighting yourself.. just know that just because you're alone for what seems like an eternity, you will get through it. I know for a fact that you will get through it, whether its by yourself or with the help of others.. just keep fighting, never give up. Everyone has their own problems but we can all make it through these tough times. If you feel alone, and you feel like no one is there for you, I'm here for you. I may not know your name but I know that we can make it. If you feel that this helped at all, I'm glad :), please take care of yourselves and try to have a good day.
salaam,how are you doing now
I’ve never cried so much over someone as much as I did for Chester 💕
I still can't believe he's gone now for 2 years already.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Same tbh,,
Make it 3
3 years now 😭
Time flies when youre in the box.
Such a meaningful song . RIP Chester
So true but if you listen to most Linkin Park songs you can see that he was a tortured soul
so true
For all my friends out there in a dark place; this is for you.
This lyrics has spoken to you, and I think we all know what it's about.
Unfortunately (as most now know)the head singer that we all know and love killed him self, took his life, etc..
But you miss him don't you? You wish that he never did such a utter full move, huh?
I know what some of you are thinking and I know y'all loved him but ask yourself this..
"Is it worth me giving up my life for?"
People loved him and looked up to him. Some fans shy others rowdy, but still fans; correct. What about your fans? Your family, friends, lover ( gf, bf, hub, wife, etc..) or even your companion(s).
What about you? Why should you take a life that was brought into this world to live and be happy! And for my younger audience... It will all be over soon, besides he is watching over all of his fans.
Fans just like y'all.

*My Note* : Sometimes you take the wrong turn, but that never means that your lost. So, keep finding a way out and try to enjoy whatever you can; no matter how small the time you have that happiness may be.

2020 Edit: Hey guys, it’s been a while hasn’t it? I’ve read everyone’s comments, and everyone has mixed emotions. I completely understand. If anyone wants to talk 1v1 whether it be a rant, need of any advise, etc. You’re always welcome to contact me (via my Discord: 🤍Klaus The CornSnake🤍#3710) .
I don't understand, when you say in your eyes we are worth fighting for, how can you say that when you don't know any of us? ? ?
Fuck you
Don't tell me what to or not to do.
The fact that someone took the time to type this out for a complete stranger who he/she doesn't know (the reader of the comments) but knowing that they might read this shows that you (the reader) already have people who care about you. They might not know you, but the message to take out of this, and of the song as well is that you're not alone. You might be lonely, but you're not alone. Take care, whatever you decide to do, but if you ever need people to talk to, you will find them. YOU'RE NOT ALONE. And one more thing: accept what's happening THIS MOMENT, and it will be easier to deal with. A lot of pain in our lives is just from resisting a fact that we can't change (at least not in the moment) and then it just kills us slowly. Just accept it, and cry it out, but accept it, breathe the knowledge through your whole body, and THEN decide what you want to do about it, look for the truth. I hope this helps. That's all that anyone is trying to do. Take care, brother/sister
ASwiftBird but what if we can't find that truth, no matter how hard we try?
I’m addicted to this song, I’m not depressed or anxious. It’s just really catchy. R.I.P Chester Bennington.
Heard this on the radio today. I’ve always heard it but never payed attention. Today wasn’t a good day. I heard this when driving to school with my dad. “Another boring stupid emo song,” I thought. Now that I see the lyrics, I want to hear it voluntarily. I’ve never been ok. I feel like I’ll never be happy again, but this gives me a little bit of hope that maybe im not alone. Maybe I can be myself. Maybe I can be better. Maybe I can find a loophole and break my habits. Maybe somebody else is like me.

You can get better you can trust me I wish you were in front of me right no. :) it's possible you can do it, i'm trying to get off pain killers and it's hard. I had an accident almost 3 years ago 12 operations, I died got revived, blood transfusion, 2 months in hospital almost lost my limbs, could not walk for about 6 months even stand up or move a toe. The pain ohhh the pain was unbearable, so so bad in my lower legs. I overcame all of that and some people even go through harder situations. That's not all of the story of my life. I wish I could be your friend to teach this to you and to see what you can teach me as well. Blessed are the meek:for they shall inherit the world. Once yuo get over your traumas, your pain, your suffering you will find out that the grass is greener on the other side only if you decide to water it. I'm slowing down on the pain killers and it's working I feel how I need them less every day, I still have to go to rehab and a psychologist, but you know what it's all right because I know I will be ok. We are way tuffer and stronger than we think, we just have to discover it. Take care, nobody understands us like ourselves I understand what you said that is so so true. You get it, I bet you could teach me so much too...I love learning and discovering that we are strong beings of good but only if we decide so....like ichigo, like naruto, and even sasuke at the end.
Thank you, I understand that you have gone through your fair share of hardships as well. I do hope to one day find hope again. I guess you could say that in a way I already did. You were right. I've actually seen changes. Not much but I believe it is a much greater improvement than before. Your words meant alot. I appreciate that you took the time to tell me this, I know I keep repeating myself, but thank you truly. I hope you and I both end up finding our way into the light and away from all this darkness one day...
UnovaTrainerWhite this is basically my life too!
This song is exactly what depression and anxiety feels like. Though it seems endless, it's temporary. And though the depression and anxiety will come back, you will be that much more grateful for the good day's that are around the corner, they come back too.
Indeed.

I love this band so much
as a kid i didnt unterstand the lyrics and just enjoyed the music, well i never imagined this would help me detoxing from opiates a decade later...
This is still the most relatable song I've ever heard. Even 13 years later. Every single time I've heard it.
Chester, you saved me but I couldn't save you... You will always be in our hearts
*Born as a human*
*Lived as a hero*
*Sang like an angel*
*Screamed like the devil*
*Died as a legend.*
*RIP Chester. We love you. We miss you. We will fight for you*
YES

Chester was telling the world through his music how he was at war with himself and how much he wanted it to end knowing he wasn't going to win. It's in most all the lyrics in their music. R.I.P. Chester, finally free from darkness, hopelessness and despair. Be the light !
Hearing this song makes me think of my dad. He was diagnosed with cancer because he was a smoker. It’s more sad to think about because even after he was diagnosed he still continued to smoke. I wanted to tell him to stop but was afraid to be a he always talked about how he wanted to die. He passed away a year later. After he passed I heard this song a broke into tears. Rest In Peace dad, I miss you.
I'm so sorry.
That same thing happened to my mom of only 53 she finally stopped smoking 3 days before she passed only cuz we wouldn't give them to her anymore :'( I SOOO feel your pain.
@@jenniferholmes6644 53??? That's so young! An average person dies at least 84. So she had so much years to live, i don't get why they just ban ciggerates, so many families have been damaged and it even says on the box that there harmful............
@@bobuboi4643 the average is actually 79 but yes 53 is still young
My condolences, sir...
RIP Chester Bennington
This hits home for me.
Many times in my life while battling my depression and especially during my drug addiction, I would play this song over and over and over as loud as possible and I would sing the lyrics to this song while crying. I wanted to kill myself while listening to this song so many times. Not because of the music but because I could relate to every single word on this song. Listen to the lyrics. I used to express myself through music during my darkest moments in my life. I thought they were just lyrics but apparently not. He was hurting, as I was too and this song would have been my suicide song. 😢 😢
I will miss him greatly
Same but I lost a friend back in february he will never be forgotten but he will always be missed
It was the same for me. It's so sad that he went this way... it really shocked me...
Tamas Szabo i miss him too 😭😢
if u get such sucidal thoughts again.. jus reach out to me. i will tel u how to get out of it. i will help u
Me, too. He was like a father to me.
The song that motivated me to be in Action, the song that kicked me to break the habit of being lazy and lying on the bed all the time.
The leap I took from my sedentary life style to the person who ran till he injured his knees, but still never gave up on running. This song, the reason behind my transformation and my progression.
Today, I'm 25kilos lighter and a Doctor.
Prasad Srinivas wow 25 kilos 0_0.
Keep it going mate :)
Prasad Srinivas good stuff man but, breaking the habit means as in stopping it by killing himself.
Kids really end up identifying with this song.
We end up with so many teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 and they all love this song.
and they can’t place why and then they become adults.
We get into the ages of late 20s and all of a sudden they have a partner,and with that partner they fight and they bicker,and then they listen to this song again, and suddenly it’s true meaning becomes clear. We must break the habit of the toxic ideals, we learned as children.
Before watching this video I didn't understand the lyrics (Im russian), except the "Breaking the habit" and something else. But now i see more, hear more. Feel more. Love you, Chester
the fucking memories, man...
share
A kid in my class did a presentation for a progect and he did this band and showed us the song numb by them then he told us that chester commited suicide and my eye watered now i am stuck with this music rest in peace chester at least you are in a better place than before
César Cisneros it's worse when u find how he did it where etc makes it all the more saddening
I did the same.
The presentation part I mean.
In the first chorus when he sang 'I don't know what's worth fighting for,' my cat I've had for a few years looked straight into my eyes. I'm feeling awful at the moment, and he may be "just a cat" to a lot of people and there's a lot of people going through much worse than me, I understand that, but the look he gave me at that moment made me feel a little better
He was screaming help in this song so loud with his lyrics and nobody could helped him😔
I never thought about that.
It was almost 20 years before he passed though
@@smmaistheway I think his depression came from way back, maybe he never wrote a song to tell the world he was in pain.
The really sad thing is he didn't actually write this song (Mike did about another friend of his who struggled with addiction) but Chester related to the lyrics so much he repeatedly broke down during recordings.
Believe me if his persons in his life would have thought this was his end they would have tried.
when I was little this was just a good song no feelings and emotions... But when I grew older In my teens this song means so much now I didn't know why I figured that out before.😔this song actually makes me tear up and makes me want to scream inside so bad.!!!.
same
TheLegend27 lol i felt like that wen i read that im not a teen though
I use this song for COD lmfao
It gets worse as you grow older
Don't I play overwatch with you? 😅
my motivational music (: think of this song when i get on that football field.
Chester, you make me cry. I want to get back into singing to help others and myself. If only I could afford it. You will always live on.
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
Cause inside I realize
That i'm the one confused
i broke the habit years ago when i felt i was never going to live past 18...my life was so depressing as a teen thankfully im much more differently now
kataritella thomas The same thing happened to me...
kataritella thomas aye me too
I still think I won't make it past 18. I'm 15 at this point.
LightningRyderz Thats stupid. Many ppl have it worse than you and had it and they push it. We are human. We push the limits and while animals need to adapt when things change we change things and dont need to adapt. Becasue we are so impressive you cant just give up. Just find true morals. Find bad morals in what deppresses you and you will live better. I read a lot of pshyhology when i was your age and i was inspired with army morals long before i was 12 so i know how soldiers faught in wars, that can also help. We are great. And we need to learn to respect our selves and our surroundings. So as long as you don;t give up you are good to go.
NinjaJesus Nice name btw ^v^
This came on the radio earlier and a few minutes later I learned he had left us. I am so sad and my heart hurts for his children and wife. Rest In Peace man. Love and Light to his family and to all of his friends and supporters.
Z Z much love and I feel the same. The world changed with him. And because of me. RIP Chester Bennington. The music god
Chester's voice alone shows more pain and sorrow than any Emo artist ever.
9 year old me:vibing to this song
18 year old me:understands the meaning of the lyrics.
RIP CHESTER, NOW I CANT HEAR THIS WITHOUT CRY
Emiliano Molina Me neither
Yes, without cry
I love Linkin Parks songs!
love liken
Sadly we're not gonna be seeing anymore songs from them
Leo Qoubach Dont say that....not yet at least.....I just found out too but still let them actually EVERYONE mourn him including ourselves for awhile (an EXTREMLEY long while for that matter actaully) and then after which will see if they can get a singer who sounds exactly like Christopher Bennington. (oh and of course.....R.I.P.)
I hope he found the peace he so deeply needed♡. God bless anyone hurting this much. ♡
Chester, I'm breaking my habit tonight. Thank you for saving me.
R.I.P Chester Bennington...
He will be missed..
Still depressed to Hear that He's gone.
(1976 - 2017) July 20th
Ik it's depressing but remember we hear him in our minds telling us right from wrong in the end it doesn't even matter how hard u tried breaking the habit creates
a new devide
This good man was like a father to me, and his wife is partly why he died...I swear, I will avenge Chester by laying waste to his wife! SKREEP!
@@thomasmcaleer8214 Well said, my man!
Thank you I whipped it up in one second
@@thomasmcaleer8214 that was amazing
“I’ll paint it on the walls
‘Cause I’m the one at fault
I’ll never fight again
And this how it ends”
That is so meaningful to me
when a lyrics of a song can be more helpful then a therapist
Therapists are a sham..its basically talking to your friends or family except they have a degree or whatever and want your money..ive realized youre better off figuring things out for yourself and finding what makes you a feel a certain way..no one knows the way you feel better than yourself
We can help others, but not ourselves.
"I dont want to be the one, the battles always choose, cause inside I realize, that I'm the one confused". I really felt that way. Not understanding why I'm a way I dont wanna be, realizing how confused I really am..
I'm curious if any roblox users who have encountered me will read this comment then notice my username (note: on everything (except Geometry Dash) that I have an account on, I have the same username. Starianna79)
I cry when i listen to their music cause Chester was truly special and so so talented and some the best moments and memories i have ever had was when i was sitting down listening to their Hybrid Theory album. I fell in love with Linkin Park at a young age and only learned to love them more and more as i grew. It absolutely destroyed me to know what Chester was feeling all this time and to see him go too soon. R.I.P Chester Bennington you will forever live in my heart and many many others.
Can't believe I was so stupid not to realize it. This song gives us a lot of hints..
I feel more terrible now.😭
But at least Chester is in peace. He will always be an our hearts..😢
クイーンтѕυιѕυтo wdym hints..?
クイーンтѕυιѕυтo on their official video it’s animated but you get more hints
Exactly how Chester felt before dying :(... we never understood all the pain he was suffering from until he died
Breaking The Habit - Pain shown in the most beautiful way, at its finest!
2020 Still my LP #1 song!
Same!!! Only instead i first discovered this song and Linkin Park Last Year in Late 2018.
Me too it’s my favorite Linkin park song to!
I am just tearing up , listening to this music , this lyric change my life ,,, and now i lost my hero ... #ripchesterthankyou
Dhika Suarya I honestly cried any time he's mentioned of TV or RUclips. LP has been in my life since I was little and it's not the same now that Chester is gone
Same .
He was more than a hero... He was a legend. And he was my father figure...
R.i.p chester....we will always love this great singer...
one year sober from heroin, thanks for the inspiration linkin park, rip chester
Congrats bro,that's something to be proud of !
@@grantmayo3578 thanks mate
Well done mate. Good to hear the shortness of your comment makes me know what u say is real. If you do ever muck up and go back ,just remmember u got threw it once and you can do it again. My addictions are nothing compared to the addiction of heroin . all the best.
I used to listen to this album during my first depression when I was younger. I felt understood. Thank you Chester. We miss you.
"I don't want to be the one the battles always chose" is my favorite part to be honest
Knowing what we know now, these lyrics are chilling. It's a pretty obvious cry for help that sadly went unanswered. Maybe if someone had listened, we wouldn't have lost so much talent way too soon. RIP Chester :(
I wish it were possible to embrace his voice and stay glued like that forever, I don't know how else to express this feeling... I adore his voice and their songs and don't know what to do with this feeling of incomplete :(
Chester could not sing this song without crying so the music video was animated
That's a shame. The message would have been more powerful if they would have let him let it all out
@@Samuel-eg1ku but the animated video is awesome tho!!
@@priyadarshidash4353 yes I agree
What are you doing here speedwagon
