This week's SOS is dedicated to the memory Chester Bennington, lead singer of Linkin Park who tragically ended his life on July 20th, 2017. Chester had a huge heart for his fans and for music, and today I'm taking a look at some of his most painful and haunting lyrics that will probably bring a tear to the eye, now that he's gone.

From Nobody Can Save Me
"I wanna fall wide awake Watch the ground give away now, Tell me its alright tell me I'm forgiven tonight cause nobody can save me" This is from One More Light and it just sounds like this was one of the last tracks he wrote you can really sense how he felt on this song and it haunts you but also makes you just wanna sing and scream out your demons along with him really this whole album its a great one and I have also been a life long linkin park fan since I was a young kid almost every lyric you posted stuck with me as well R.I.P Chester
Beyond ARTV You failed to mention "WAITING FIR THE END"!!!
"Waiting for the end to come, wishing I had strength to stand, this is not what I had planned, it's out of my control"
Beyond ARTV
Long Live Lp.
Long Live Chester.
This band helped me get through high school and post Navy(boot camp) life, both times I had contemplated ending it but they helped.
R.I.P CHESTER.
Beyond ARTV Awesome video... cannot thank you enough for this, why do you think he says "well I do" at the end of the chorus in one more light?
+IanTitleist Because its a question - "Who cares if one more light goes out? Well, I do." People this low convince themselves everyone would be better off without them around and its never, ever true - clinical depression distorts everything. It's saying "I care if you go." Hope this helps.
One helped millions but millions couldn't help one
Ouch
Jon Bentley that is a good one and ya ik i am late
Thats true
This one hits me so hard.
That hit so hard...
Its like all their songs suddenly makes so much more sense now.I still can't get over his death.
rc lalengmawii love me
rc lalengmawii ok we get it
Ninja 😂😂😂
Ninja that's so freaking disgusting!
Sascha Bor sounds good
"I don't want to be the one
the battles always choose
Cause inside I realise
that I'm the one confused"
- Chester Bennington, Breaking the Habit
one of his best songs...
It's Sanya Breaking The Habit is 100℅ Shinoda's lyrics and song. Watch MTV Ride Linkin Park because Chester talked about that song there.
this always got me to
Also, “You all assume, I’m safe here in my room, unless I try to start again.” Breaking the habit
This song was wrote by Mike he made the song
"I chose a false solution
But nobody proved me wrong"
"I'm chasing out the darkness cause nobody can save me now"
*Chasing out the darkness INSIDE cause nobody can save me now"
"When you're empty keep me in your memory leave out all the rest"
"When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done"
Thomas Thas 💞😢
Lyricslouderthanwords "forgetting all the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well..." :'(
I cant listen to that song without crying
I dreamed that Chester was singing this the night after I found out about his death. Almost like a goodbye
You just think to yourself, "I just wish I can go back in time and go to his house and stop him from taking his life and give him comfort."
That was my exact thought.
When they first posted "Heavy" on Facebook, my immediate first thought was to comment something or try to get in contact with the band. Usually when someone is suicidal, they reach a point where they've made peace with their decision and may seem happy on the surface. I think Chester was at that point when this song came out, and it breaks my heart to know that he had been hurting for so long. Even though I'm just lil old me, I wish I said something, anything, to make him check the feedback and try to reconsider. Now I'll never get the chance.
Brandon Kiser me with kirt cobain
your not alone on this trust me i thought the same thing
Believe me... I saw this dream today
with one more light, the most important part of the song was not said. In the song it goes "Who cares if someone's light goes out... well I do" Chester isn't singing it in a way that no one will care, he's saying that he cares about all of his fans, friends, and family. I agree that this is a hauntingly painful song, but I feel like that one lyric changes everything and it should be noted.
Jay Somers completely agree! He cared and as Mike told him, his biggest flaw was caring too deeply.
I agree. I always start to tear up when I listen to that part... his death still hurts
That line makes me feel like Chester is there for me. Even if nobody else is there
Chester was a sad soul, he cared about everyone else!
Chester didnt write this song
"I wanna run away, Never say goodbye.
I wanna know the truth, Instead of wondering why."
- Runaway (Hybrid Theory)
- Chester.
I still can't believe this was happening :(
I hear that...he was the Best. There was a time where I only listened to L.P. when I felt like cranking music it was L.P. nothing else could compare to these guys. I admit I slowed down on playing they're music for a bit but I'm gradually listening to them more lately....I miss him Very Much.....Can't help occasionally tearing up!
Stuck in my head again feels like ill never leave this place there is no escape
Given up - minutes to midnight
Rip Chester
that is my favorite
"Suicide is called selfish by many, but just know somebody is not in their right mindset if they are ever at that point where they feel like nothing will ever bring them back home." beautiful words.
Sarah Barr I'm nearing that point, sadly. I have told a close friend of mine, that the thought of it never went away. I've had moments where I felt vulnerable, that I could be easily swayed by my inner voices. I wanted to give in. Instead, I've kept telling myself to hold on and that things will get better. For now, that's all I can do to save myself.
I don't mean to sulk as much as I have when I made my comment, I just felt the need to say something, you know.
Michael Hernandez I'm feeling quite the same
Suicide doesn't end the pain. It just passes it to someone else. Please consider that where you are now is not where you will be your whole life.
I hope you're still here
"Try to give you warning
But everyone ignores me
Told you everything loud and clear
But nobody's listening"
What this song called?
"Nobody's listening"
Damn bro. Those lyrics never came to my mind.
I've battled depression and suicidal thoughts since I was 13 I'm 24 now. I've looked for help but no matter how hard I tried to explain how I felt and what I was going through no one could really help.
Xavier Soto that sucks :(
Im the exact way, but im 21. Started at 13 and when i turned 20 it got really bad. Dont quit fighting the good fight brother, im struggling with you and hundreds of thousands of others are too
I get that feeling....
They helped my depression every song on hybrid thyroy
Stay strong brother
What about numb
"I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
"Become so tired,so much more aware
"I'm becoming this, all I want to do
"Is be more like me, and be less like you
Also, "Every step that I take is another mistake to you, And every second I waste is more than I can take"
I was at the store yesterday and In the end started playing. Me and my mom are fans of linkin parks' music and when we heard the news we were sad. And as soon as everyone in the store heard "it starts with one thing" everyone in the store went silent I heard a gentle "oh no". I was so close to crying but I held it together and my mom's eyeliner started running.
In The End is one of my personal favorites and I always get emotional hearing that song. Even more after Chester's passing.
"In Between" the "Blackout" and the "Wake" lies a "Victimized" soul who felt "Powerless", "Invisible" and "In Pieces". It's "Easier To Run" from the "War" within than to have "No Roads Left" to travel and only "Wastelands", "Empty Spaces" and "Sharp Edges" in your way. When you think "Nobody's Listening" or "Nobody Can Save Me" and you have "Given Up" all hope and just want to "Runaway", remember that "Roads Untraveled" are "The Catalyst" for "Wisdom, Justice and Love". Remember "What I've Done" and "Leave Out All The Rest" because when I find "A Place For My Head", I know I am "Somewhere I Belong", so "Mark The Graves" "In My Remains" as I get "Lost In The Echo" of this "Iridescent" "New Divide". I will be "One Step Closer" to being "With You". "Don't Stay" in the past because it will leave you feeling "Faint" and "Numb". In this "Final Masquerade", here my "Battle Symphony" as I say "Good Goodbye" and that this was not "All For Nothing". Don't be "Waiting For The End" to come, because "In The End", even though "I'll Be Gone", keep your "Hands Held High" during the "Shadow Of The Day", because "One More Light" will be "Burning In The Skies" and will never be "Forgotten".
My message in memory of Chester
Im crying now, Chester really impacted my life, and this actually looks like a death note that Chester wrote by naming his songs.
Maybe he kept a journal saying all of that, but I hope he is seeing everything his fans have done for him.
That's really beautiful! Very well written!
Kyle Reid Amazing...
Maria Iatropoulou thank you!
SCP - 106 I agree! I tried to write it from his perspective to give people the sense that maybe he did always have this hidden meaning in the title of his songs!
I think Chesters suicide note would be Heavy. "Ive been dragging around whats bringing me down, if I just let go I'd be set free" It was so obvious yet nobody did anything😢
i think it would be in the end
"I tried so hard,
And got so far,
But in the end, it doesn't even matter,"
-Chester Bennington, "In The End".
😢
@@fukwhaturgoingthru 2 years late I'm also late
Mike Shinoda wrote In The End
What about 'In the End':
'I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
to lose it all'
He tried so hard to fight his inner demons such as his alcohol and drug addiction but also his depression that he's lived with all his life. But even though he tried his hardest to fight these feelings it didn't matter because they caught up to him in the end, causing him to 'lose it all'.
Damn right, I just wish someone would've been there ykno. Rip Chester, you will be missed by hundreds of millions of people
Daniel Mullins I heard it in so many songs how he felt
*I put my trust in you* (Chris Cornell) *pushed as far as I can go* (pushed through the pains in his life), and bleed it out was basically filled with suicide references such as: *going out of my fuckin' mind* *find a new place to hang this noose* (killed himself by noose) *bleed myself out and no one cared* *dig a trench out and lay down there* (trench being his grave) *some one pour it in* *say your prayers and stomp it out*
I was actually thinking of the same song... That one always stayed in my memory, and I think it reminds me of him, and myself more than anything I've ever known.
Daniel Mullins In The End was the first song I was introduced to back in 2010 when I was looking up AMV's (Anime Music Videos.) And it was what got me into rock music. And as a kid at that time, and even now, I look back to my elementary years 3rd-6th grade I thought I couldn't go on. So I thought to myself i'll dedicate this song to my cousin, because he was the one that kept me going. Thanks to Linkin Park I am the person I am today. I thank everyone in Linkin Park for it.
I really don't understand the people that are calling Chester selfish and a coward. Chester was battling with depression and drugs and alcohol for most of his life. And like you said when describing the lyrics of 'Crawling' you can see how messed up he was 17 years ago, so it's not like he got depression recently, he fought against depression for most of his life. Chester also said that last year he was in a really fucked up place mentally, worse than what he has ever been and it's clearly that Cornell's death fucked him up even more. So before someone calls him selfish and/or a coward think about this... Chester held on for more than 17 years for his family, band members, friends and fans and never committed suicide even tho his mind was very messed up. So think about this... if he held on through all these years with that fucked up mind, now imagine how worse his mind got in the last couple of days that he decided that he couldn't handle it anymore. Think about that.
3DDuDeRuLeZ to top it off, he loses a friend to cancer then he loses his closest friend after that
3DDuDeRuLeZ w the people that say these thing are ignorant and uneducated !!! They have no clue on depression and the toll it takes on a person ... it's not something as easy as changing you underwear ... depression is a chemical in balance in a person brain .. trauma caused ... there is no fix it is with a person every moment of everyday .. some days are better then others but the worthless and helplessness is forever lingering !!! It's sad to think these people think we CHOOSE to wake up and fall asleep like this !!! And I can speak on this because I am someone who deals with it everyday ...
3DDuDeRuLeZ
People who are scuicidal happen to be pretty strong because they are dealing with something on a day to day basis that is far more worse than what we can imagine. And I happen to have personal experience.
3DDuDeRuLeZ He could make us happy, but not himself.
I get that Chester (and millions of other people) have their demons and have a hard time with life but suicide is quite literally the most selfish and cowardly thing you can do...
GIVEN UP! MAIN SONG! RED-FLAG RIP CHESTER! We played this in many bars!
Absolutely
nobody's listening.. heavy.. talking to myself... he truly left a legacy of messages...
My favourite lyrics of all time are "Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past, bringing back these memories I wish I didnt have, sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back and never moving forward so there'd never be a past"... Rest in Peace, Chester Bennigton.
Ivan Dragun which song is this?
Demas Robles "Easier To Run"
"Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me. Told you everything loud and clear but nobody is listening." (Nobodys Listening)
This describes the new album and the situation really well.
tonywu this describes the way I've been feeling perfectly
I wrote this after the first time I heard "One More Light" recently. I just now saw your video and thought it was on point and well said.
It is so sad that a person with so much influence and so many people that did care about him could be so sad and depressed.
There is a saying that has rung so true in my life. "suicide doesnt stop the pain, it gives it to someone else."
It amazes me that someone could write this song, perform it and not even listen to it themselves. I completely understand it, actually. I have been on both sides of the rope.
I fight major depression every day. What a lot of people don't understand about depression and suicide is that it is a daily battle. Unless you battle depression yourself, you won't fully comprehend what it's like. You carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. You care and love many and a lot of times, you could care and love yourself less. You put yourself down constantly. You feel like no one cares or like you're just completely worthless. Noone truly understands how much you hurt inside. My mother battled it and my brother battled it and lost. I am still fighting and won't ever give up. I have learned to love myself as my own best friend because noone in this life has been there more for me than me. I have people that I know count on me. I cannot and will not let tbem down or especially myself. There was a time not long ago, that I wanted nothing more than to take my life. The reason I couldnt was because I had a baby that I had to protect. I had to be his voice when I couldn't find my own. I was obliterated mentally and emotionally. I was so broken inside that I cried every day for a solid year and a half. I have seen the pain transferred from one person to many. I was one of the many affected.
When you get the urge to take your own life, you need to think of everyone you would be hurting. Realistically.
Allow yourself to feel what you feel but never act on it. Because you can't fix things when you're dead.
Dont worry Amanda..ders always out der who will b der for u..add me in fb..Eric kupar marwein
Well said... I can learn a lot from what u said
You are utterly amazing!!!!! Beautifully said! ❤❤. Please message me here. I've lost a few friends to suicide and maybe more that I forgot to mention. I have CPTSD from childhood sexual abuse. I also have major depression and generalized anxiety. I also hated myself but I learned to love me and take care of me for once! I want to thank you for putting this up. It really helped me.
You have a new subscriber! 😊
@@hippyable thank you for your sweet words. I just tell it from my point of view. I hate suicide. I hate it from both points. I lost my 2nd eldest brother when I was 14 and he was 26. It tore my family apart.
To all of those saying that he should have sucked it up to be their for his family needs to actually listen to the music and attempt to understand the struggle isn't black and white. "Leave out all the rest" 😓😪😭
"I don't know what's worth fighting for or why I have to scream, I don't know why I instigate and say what I don't mean."
~Chester Bennington
I will miss you.
I Think Chester Took Shots At Goku
Rifty's Cat. Truly a monster voice, may he finally be at peace. Not to take away from chester, he is irreplaceable! But give credit to mike those are his lyrics. Most people keep forgetting that mike was and is the lead lyricist and composer of linkin park.
Mike Shinoda on shoutweb.com: "This was going to be an instrumental track that was 10 minutes long. The guys convinced me to turn it into a full song. I'm proud of this song in a lot of ways. I put a lot of work into it. I just think it's really powerful. Chester's performance is one of his best. Lyrically, it's kind of just about getting away from the parts of you that you do not like. It goes into great deal about that type of situation. The things about our lyrics in general is that we spend so much time on them that there is no way I can tell you in conversation any better than the actual lyrics. If I sit here and think up something, that's an off-the-top-of-my-head summary of what those lyrics are about whereas those lyrics took five years to do. So those lyrics are the most accurate depiction of what that's about, not what I can tell you."
Breaking the Habit. Beautiful song.
My friends have always teased me for still being such an early 2000's music junkie but those years were such a crucial time in my life. Bands like Linkin Park, blink-182, Simple Plan, Green Day, etc... they all became part of who I am. I think I'm still in shock about Chester. I'm really struggling to wrap my head around the fact that he's gone. I've felt so many different emotions.. sadness, anger, nausea, confusion, numbness.. God damnit.. Fuck, I will miss him.
Samantha Chromy I feel the same there's nothing nowadays that is like the music back then rest in peace sweet angel
Samantha Chromy Early 2000s really was the sweet spot for music, so much great music from that time
It's the same for me, My friends always thought i was weird, But I honestly can't remember a time when i wasn't listening to Linkin Park, Chester & Billie Joe are the 2 that i had on my people i want to meet list,
Chester Carved his voice into my mind forever, And i will never, ever forget it.
-Some of his best lyrics:
*"You said it was forever, But then you slipped away, Standing at the end of the final masquerade"* - (final masquerade)
*"When my time comes, Forget the wrong that I've done, Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed. And when You're feeling empty keep me in your memory, Leave out all the rest."* - (Leave out All The rest)
-I keep singing these to myself as a final thank you to Chester :')
This is so true. I absolutely feel the same way!
Same
Bandmates say that he didn't realize just how many people he touches. In the interview where he says "I don't know if anyone can relate to this but..." I mean just in an interview saying that showed he still didn't know just how many people did relate to him :( balling listening to all the music. Listened since I was younger and had some emotional times with linkin park playing.
Crawling was about his drug/alcohol addictions and the insecurities and other feelings associated with them.
Think..."crawling in my skin" aren't just random words. Chester was on Ice since he was 16 and he was describing the sensation after a "hit" and the after effects/fallout of being on ice.
What's bad is almost every song they've done seemed to be written with me in mind. I feel they wrote my life story in their songs. It's one of the reasons I can relate so well with them.
Stay strong buddy, get some help if you need to. We are here for you :)
In the end hit me bad because sometimes I just don't care if I live or die
The first time I listened to Meteora, I felt like they were reading my soul. As someone with an abusive mother, I know exactly how it feels to have someone warp you to the point where you don't even know who you are and you need them out of your life so you can start to find yourself. Their lyrics put into words emotions that I didn't even known I'd felt. But that album helped me understand myself and to process my trauma
Kinda reminds me of Layne's lyrics.....different stories but....
I think that’s why a lot of us felt that. I believe that’s why Linkin Park will go down as one of the greatest bands of all time.
They had such a strong connection with the fans.
They saved me
breaking the habit have the most painful lyrics which made me cry during my worst times in my life , he was my escape from all the bullshit. #rip chester charles bennington
Sarthak Singh breaking the Habit was one of the songs that got me through some really tough shit
Shadow of The Day was another big one for me
easier to run as well for me
My own worst enemy Is also one of the most hard hitting...
Sarthak Singh I had the honor of holding his hand while he sang this in Las Vegas last may. This has been one of my favorites since meteora came out and now it will be my favorite and unforgettable memory of Chester . Ugh I still can't believe he is gone .
His suicide note was in all of these songs... He was damn brilliant
agreed. even though its suicide, there's no better way then to go out with a story, within' 100's of songs
Majin Buu but it is a little rough for the fans.
Well not exactly, mike wrote most of the songs
Majin Buu He was definitely damn brilliant! I miss him already but my personal opinion is that it wasn't suicide as Chris Cornell's wasn't suicide. I have read all 35 pages of police records which clearly isn't all of them, just hand picked for the public to view & I knew them ruling Chris's a suicide so fast as they did bothered me for good reason. Now I know something's wrong, you can view them online & you won't believe the inconsistencies in the report from the bodyguard & holes all through his story. There are missing photos from the hotel scene that night that doesn't show everything depicted in the report. The photos they should show are the ones I am most interested in seeing such as damage from both hotel doors leading to his room from the bottom of them b/c he says he kicked them both in. We don't see the damage from the bottom of the doors of course. Why would Chris ask about fixing his TV & laptop if he was so intent right after the concert to off himself? His shirt was torn, he had head trauma not mentioned in the coroner's report & 9 ribs broken. 9 ribs! That's not all from cpr! The medic that called his injuries & other info in mentioned those injuries but it's not in the coroner's report?? Chester & Chris were very close friends, so close he was godfather to Chris's son. Chris had an organization of his own against child sexual abuse & Chester was involved with him. There are many other things I've found out simply by reading this sloppy police investigation with 12;15am & 12:30am being reported by the bodyguard as the time he entered Chris's room last. What gives? Why aren't they following up on these inconsistencies? Someone wanted these 2 men taken out & I'm pissed! There are some prominent people getting some police involved in what we know to find out their opinion on this story. We don't know all the details of Chester's death as far as records shown to the public yet but I'm waiting. Chances are this will be another cover up & trolls need not bother to comment something rude simply b/c I'm stating facts here, you will be ignored. All those people know how to do is put you down & bully you instead of something constructive in their argument. Don't tell me about depression either b/c I have it & my husband took his own life 2 years ago b/c he suffered from 3 major mental illnesses for way too long & his was a suicide. The difference here is Chester HAD depression, he had gotten help & had the tools to deal with it, he was so happy finally in his life now, this just sucks!
AsdfjkEd
Yes True!!
The one song that got me was "Shadow of the Day" I listened to it over and over just listening to the lyrics made me cry. One sad thing is that i became a HUGE fan a little before the beginning of the summer of 2017, then a couple months later I realized they were on tour and i asked my Mother, "Can I go see this band, They're the best band ever" and they had none near the state I lived. She said, " Maybe when you're older, I just don't think that you are ready to go on a long trip just to see a concert." Then a couple of days later (I think) Chester passed away and my mom told me, I was just bawling, I didn't stop for days.
After Chester’s passing I listened to my favorite songs by the band and realized how much more of a meaning that they have
RIP. I was crying with you and the whole world.
AtomicMars I still am
AtomicMars Same
Day 4 and still cannot get over this. I am still getting emotional
same. RIP Legend.
same here
there is no song of lp which is without such deep meaning
Bhavya Gudhka 100% agree
Except ‘High Voltage’
Sometimes I feel like a prophet
Misunderstood under the gun
Like a new disease
high voltage
I don't like lyrics of *CURE FOR THE ITCH* and *Session*
I given up: I"m my own worst enemy. I given up.
Put me out my f*cking MISERY the scream is what all of his thoughts does to him just screaming at him in the worse enemy
"Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known.
Remember all the sadness and frustration,
And let it go"
-iridescent
Honestly I don't think I will ever fully grasp the fact that he is gone. I didn't even know him personally but it feels like I've lost someone close to me - for he and his music were so important to me growing up. Everytime I hear Chester's voice it just makes me sad all over again... It's devastating that he managed to save so many people's lives but in the end couldn't save himself.
I just hope that wherever he is he is at peace, at last.
"Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way"
:(
Sad but true. Seriously can't believe our Chester is no longer here
A.M Lash: You said: "I hear Chester's voice it just makes me sad all over again... It's devastating that he managed to save so many people's lives but in the end couldn't save himself."
In The End: "I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter."
R.I.P Chester.
A.M Lash From what song is that verse...its so haunting. It's him giving up.
aimhigh_ida: Shadow Of The Day off of the Minutes To Midnight album. In general, most of their songs are pretty haunting.
A.M Lash I know that is exactly how I feel
I always teared up listening to Breaking The Habit especially during the line " memories consume, I'm opening the wounds. I'm picking me apart again. You all assume I'm safe here in my room , unless I try to start again". It's words that will forever haunt me because he's always said that he can't be on his own, otherwise his demons start messing with his mind. So, naturally I attribute that line to when he said that he sat in his closet in the dark shaking. It also brings me back to when he was crying during a live performance of this song. I just can't believe he's gone.💔
"I don't know how I got this way, I'll never be alright, so I'm breaking the habit tonight" Those lyrics right there are the most haunting to me from that song because it seems to describe Chester's last moment's on this planet.
all viewers should notice that at 9:47 he is crying a bit
and i do not blame him
What I just noticed that
We all we were
if you were a fan of more then a few songs, it was hard not to cry, i still remember being at work when i heard the news, i pretty much lost it, rest of the day nothing much got done
I dont blame him to this day i still cry about it
Crawling always makes me kinda sad, i can feel his pain. Crazy how power and meaningful LP’s lyrics is. I would say you forgot ”these wounds they will not heal”
How could you skip "Given Up"? That is such an explicit and blatant message. And very dark, angry, and frustration with oneself mentally. Even says "put me out of my misery"
Russel Cantor maybe it's to blunt lol he probably did think about putting it in the video
Russel Cantor Yea it's a good song but its meaning is a bit on the nose lol
Agreed. Given up was the first song I jesrs
I could've written Given Up. Oh wait, I think I did. It's my anthem and I love it.
It's so sad when someone hits that point in life. I was suicidal back when I was in middle school and high school. But music pulled me out of the darkness. I can't imagine living that way for as long as Chester did. He was a very strong man. It's not selfish what he did. He wasn't in his right mind. Feeling like no one can save you is a horrible feeling that I know all too well. It's all about finding yourself and loving the things that make you, you. And telling everyone else to fuck off.
“I know what it takes to move on I know how it feels to lie all I want to do is trade this life for something new holding on to what I haven’t got” off my personal favorite song waiting for the end it’s honestly so beautiful I didn’t appreciate it until he left
I'm a huge Chester Bennington fan as well.... when I figured out he passed away I cried and almost threw my phone across the room. He inspires me, I look up to him in music... his music is like another bible but of his albums... I know how your feeling... but in this video you should've put Numb, In The End and Heavy those are songs with meanings
You forgot Somewhere I Belong ,
I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
I agree. I would have put Somewhere I Belong on this list.
Tbh, so many of their songs have so much to say.... I'm feeling so 😭
I still can't believe he's gone. I wasn't the biggest fan of LP, but I love a lot of their music. Last night I listened to One More Light and I just broke down. I can't believe Chester will never step on stage again. I can't believe he'll never sing again. I can't believe he'll never write another song again...we lost a real legend. Rip Chester Charles Bennington, fly high. You will be missed 💔
“Memories consume,
Like opening the wound,
I’m picking me apart again,

"In the kitchen, One more chair than you kneed."😭😭😭😭
Can u explain that lyric please!?
Noctís someone die in family then when family dinner comes, is one more chair but less one person
@@scr34m_piu thats so very true. When my husband passed my children and i ate at the kitchen bench because i hated sitting across from his empty chair and slept on the lounge because i couldnt bare being in the bed and the space left there. That was along time ago now
I cry every time I hear this lyric in the song...
Noctís There was usually a full table but now without chester their is always one Sapir where he would be 😢
Chesters whole career was a suicide note
Connor O'Halloran I totally agree. I really appreciate how Mike pointed out in his statement that all of them knew about Chester's demons. He wrote them, and he wore them on his sleeve.
Connor O'Halloran Yeah and I don't understand why nobody tried to help him
Connor O'Halloran He wasn't the only one writing lyrics though
Connor O'Halloran nah that's what made their,music great, but the songs and lyrics would be what saved his life for so,many years allowing him to,cope,with the pain.,made great music. Then Cornell,seemed to,push Chester over the edge.
Connor O'Halloran Indeed it was a Delightful one for that matter *Smiles*
hearing chester's voice hurts.
不滅の agreed
Chester's been breaking my heart since I first heard Papercut. That song to me was Chester trying to explain his point of view. he's been killing me ever since. I could hear and understand his heart. I finally found someone who understood my perspective and could vocalize it so Beautifully! When he died I was absolutely devastated! I felt like I'd lost my world. I had one person who understood and I lost him. Chester will never be forgotten as long as I'm alive! R.I.P brother!
Honestly I think that Heavy was his way of saying "I can't do this anymore", and one more light was his way of saying goodbye to us.
I've fought with Depressioy whole life, attempted suicide a few times... And LP always brought me back. Always seemed to relate to what I 2as going through... And now that chester is gone and LP is no more (until/they get a replacement chester (yeah right) ... I'm back to where I began. Chester's words helped me and many others through some tuff shit. But always in the back of myind is why is everything so heavy?
Why is everything so heavy?
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down if I just let go of be set free. Chester finally let go.
His lyrics always gave me hope and streanth, and courage. They always seem to fit the mood I was in. They brought me back from the abyss... Good good bye chester. You sir, where a hero to me and many others. I o lu wish we could have shown you how much we cared before you left us... Good luck k on the afterlife sir and I hope we meat some day.
Ely Deweese The album in general is a suicide note, one chilling lyric from it is "You'll see one day" from sorry for now
Chester didnt write this song
"I chose a false solution" ~Nobody Can Save Me
I haven't listened to this band enough and I plan to get all their albums as soon as I can. But when I found out the news, I thought about him lashing out about the hate on the new album. So I was curious and gave it a couple listens and... holy shit... I understand why people wouldn't like the new sound, but to me, it sounds like this new album was his final cry for help. Even the album cover looks like some sort of metaphor. The album got me crying. He kind of pulled an In Utero.
BollyBibby "I chose a false solution, but nobody proved me wrong."
Well yeah the whole song's lyrics but the one I mentioned is just when it really hit me what this album was all about
Oh I get what you're saying. Yeah, that's totally true and I couldn't really put it into words myself.
"Try to give you warning but everyone ignores me/ Told you everything loud and clear but nobody's listening."
Filip Nikolic
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
'Filthy mouth, no excuse
Find a new place to hang this noose
String me up from atop these roofs
Knot it tight so I won't get loose'
I know it was not sung by Chester, but these lyrics are no doubt the most haunting thinking about how everything actually happened
Solomon Nobhead I was thinking those too, also "Half the words won't mean a thing and I know I won't be satisfied"
Crawling: "Fear is how i fall, confusing what is real."
Blue (pre-Crawling Hybrid Theory LP -> pre-Linkin Park): "Eaten by my own, version of the real."

So simple, so strong
Out of all the times i couldve been born, i was lucky enough to be alive at the same time as this man. Legend, Bloody Legend.
Rest in Peace Chester Bennington
Waiting for the End
"All I want to do is trade this life for something new"
"Waiting for the end to come, wishing I had strength to stand, this is not what I had planned, it's out of my control "
"sitting in an empty room
trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last
I wish it wasnt so."
"I know what it takes to move on
I know how it feels to lie
All I wanna do is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got!"
RIP CHESTER
I still remember the first time I ever heard LP, I was 8 years old, on the way home from soccer practice, when One Step Closer came on in the radio. It fucken blew my mind!! Hybrid Theory would up being the first CD I ever picked out. It helped me find Metal, and helped me be who I am today.
thank you so much Chester for all the memories
Andy Astengo same when I was 8 years old I'd listen with my cousin to lp and we actually memorized their songs and sing them when we are bored, I'd listen to them 24/7 no joke and I really loved the band members alongside Chester,i couldn't believe he died and I really cried so much I'm still in denial that he passed away,such a loss to rock fans.
RIP
well I was 7 bro.
when I first heard in the end.
first cd I ever had .
first cd I ever had .
I just found this video and god it broke me all over again. Hearing your voice breaking talking about it had me crying.
Ive been a Chester/ LP fan for 18 years, this is a celebrity death that will forever stay with me. They saved my life when i hit that lowest of lows and wanted to give up. This was the only band that truly touched me to my core. During my darkest days, the loneliness days, the days of being misunderstood listening to LP hearing Chesters's words had a power of making you feel understood and not alone.
I will forever be so grateful for Chester and LP.
When he passed i saw one common thing being said "he saved my life" because of LP there are so many people here that may not have been if it wasnt for them having music that seemed to say everything we were feeling but didnt know how to express ourselves.
It's easier to run replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go than face all this pain here all alone
Even though "Easier to run" was represented in the video, I just feel that the actual chorus above is so strong, at least to me. It's easier to run (to die) from the pain that is life, and to replace the pain of life with the numbness of death.
I am a lifelong fan of linkin park, but the lyrics from Bleed it Out gave me chills when Mike sings "Filthy mouth, no excuse
Find a new place to hang this noose".
Anthony Thompson
I don't feel like that fits cause the song itself really is talking about wanting change, but the song does give me chills now whenever I listen to it too
Anthony Thompson
It's really difficult to listen to that song now
I still can't get over Chester's death. I am absolutely heartbroken over it and I'm incredibly sad. I've been a fan of Linkin Park for many years and Chester's voice was amazing, he had such great range in a powerful voice. RIPChester you will be missed dearly and you will forever be in our hearts and will never be forgotten. Legends never die.
He wasn't just a rock legend. He sang like an angel and screamed like a demon
Raven Simmons aww that is lovely
"in the memory you'll find me
eyes burning up
the darkness holding me tightly
until the sun rises up" - forgotten
I've been a fan of Linkin Park's music since I was little. Listening to their songs make me feel strange just knowing that the person I'm hearing sing is dead. RIP Chester Bennington. I wish I could have helped him in some way.
What breaks my heart the most is the fact that Chester's music was always there and got me, and many other fans, through some of the most hardest and darkest times, but no one did the same for him.....
Rest in peace Chester
Guys on your profile pretty fucking amazing too.
Linkin Park got me through a lot during my teenage years. i would put their songs on and blast them in my bedroom. i am heartbroken to know how much pain he was in. Thank you Chester, i wish someone could have helped you the way you guys helped me
Legend
RUclips Addict ,me too when i had bad days linkin park helped me through those rip chester
Thank you so much for posting this. My spirit IS breaking, I'm deep in it, I'm going through "IT " now.I'm in THE black, the black days,needing the shadow on the sun to wash away the rain. Now I don't have Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, Layne, their voices, their lyrics, their music any more. I'm so lost without them. When certain songs came out, those moments of darkness for me, helped, I knew I wasn't alone. But now they are ALL gone. I'm truly alone now. This is truly hell on earth for me. Thank you for posting this, to help remind people. Thank you. God bless.
"Sitting in an empty room
Trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last
I wish it wasn't so..."
Waiting for the end
The song should have made it to the list. There are many other parts of the song whose lyrics were beautifully written and hit way too hard.
"I don't like my mind right now.. Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary" Heavy,~Chester..
The lyric from numb tears me up everytime
" and I know i may end up failing too" rest easy buddy
"Leave Out All the Rest" just breaks my heart now. The entire song breaks my heart.
"When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest"
I was trying so hard not to cry even though it’s been 2 years it’s still very painful knowing that he is not here anymore
Honestly I’m crying and it was just to difficult not to, Chester was and is an amazing man who saved many’s lives and all I have to say is, rest in peace you beautiful angel, you are forever loved🖤❤️
I keep thinking now almost all his songs were calls for help... untill it got too "heavy" :'/ rip chester
Wolfy Love yeah, but Heavy is a happy song.
They were. You know what is hard? I Listened to "One more Light" The very First time directly after His death.
It absolutely killed me. I cried for hours.
"If I just let go, I will be set free". -Heavy, Linkin Park
That is so haunting, he was pretty much talking about his death, hanging. He was holding on the rope above him, then he let go, thus we was set free, from his haunted prison.
HorseyTube wow that metaphor is really heart breaking and too vivid. 😢💔
HorseyTube it was his belt that he hung himself with but i feel ya.
It hurt me so much how so many people are talking about songs being suicide notes and misinterprets lyrics so much without doing a reserch. Like Mike said once: this song is not depressing, it's uplifting! If you really want to know about meaning of this song find video on yt named: Linkin Park "Heavy" Official Lyrics & Meaning and you will know that Chester didn't meant sucide. This verse comes after: "I keep dragging around what's bringing me down" so what he meant is that if he finds a way to let go of the things that he keeps dragging around, he'd finally be free, he'd finally be better.
HorseyTube actually i believe those lyrics are talking about his abuse and if he could just realize(let go) that the abuse wasnt his fault he could stop going on and on and on about it in his heaf
You did amazing in this video.
Had me in tears.
Rest in Paradise, Chester.
"The memory now is like the picture was the; when the papers crumpled up it cant be perfect again"
forgotten
I first discovered Chester when I found the song "Heavy," and just by hearing his voice singing it, and feeling that energy, I got so scared that something might happen... and it did.
Ill NEVER get over Chesters death..every lyric and title just has so much more purpose..
amber marie couldn't agree more
Thank you for mentioning Leave Out All the Rest, one of the most emotional songs from Linkin Park and nowadays and haunting reminder of what would unfortunately come in the present day. R.I.P a true musical legend and one of my childhood heroes.
This is the first song I thought of when I heard this happened. I'm going to do a tribute to him singing a cover. I think it will be the only way I can get closure from this.
Yeah. When i heard he died the first song i thought was Leave Out all the Rest.
There are two songs that I think could have been used to show his pain even more. "In the End" and "Breaking The Habit" Both are about the struggle and the fight to overcome your demons.
In the end I tried so hard and I got so far but in the end it didn't matter Had to fall to lose it allI think is about his fight with his addictions. He fought so hard to end them but something happened and he lost the fight.
Breaking the habit" memories consume, I'm opening the wounds. I'm picking me apart again. You all assume I'm safe here in my room , unless I try to start again".I think this is about his fight with depression. Its hard fighting your memories and you always pick and pick and pick at your self when you are alone.I am going to miss him.
One more light every time I listen to that song I start crying but the lyrics hit me hard
Numb and many others songs really helped me into my adults days! Their music always play in the background of my childhood
мαятιηα byrne omg Numb has been my anthom in three times of my life.. O stopped listening to them for a while but when I came back as an adult.. I don't know, it helped me a lot.
Martina Byrne same.😎🤔
sheepgray08 same. 😢
I never meet him but man I feel like I knew him. His lyrics are apart of the reasons I'm even writing this now. We lost a rock legend. RIP Chester Bennington
You will be sorely missed.
Haven't finished video yet, but the main chorus of "I'll be Gone" should be on here
Matthew Larsen Primo is darker tho.
I get chills when Chester says I do in the background at the end of one more light
I thought my Bandmate was kidding when he wrote that in our group chat, just a few minutes after the first reports of it. I really got nauseous and just strongly uncomfortable checking it on the internet, hoping it would be a dumb joke. He made Linkin Park the band that introduced me any probably so many of us into music and it's terrible to even think that he felt like there was no other way out. It's just fucked
Julian Cavaleri one of the band's to get me into Metal
dudex170 Same here man I couldn't believed it I thought it was BS fake news but sadly it was real...:(
I'm gonna go with one song per album to avoid stacking
HT - "This Lack Of Self Control I Fear Is Never Ending" - Crawling
Meteora - " Its Easier To Run, Replacing This Pain With Something Numb" - Easier To Run
MTM - " I'm strong On The Surface, Not All The Way Through. I've Never Been Perfect but neither have you" - Leave Out All The Rest
ATS - "All I Want To Do Is Trade This Life For Something New, holding on to what I haven't got" - Waiting For The End
LT - "Set This Silence Free, To Wash Away The Worst Of Me" - In My Remains
HP - "We said it was forever, but then it slipped away. Standing at the end of the final masquerade" - Final Masquerade
OML - "Can I help you not to hurt anymore?" - One More Light
Calum Lamb LPU13: "till then carry on and miss me when i'm gone"
Chester had a voice and in his music that I can relate to in many ways. I felt like if people had just listened to several of his songs he was telling through music it's like he was reaching out for help. I have listen to to his songs and especially his song leave out all the rest I that song has laid me my heart in mind since the first time I heard it. My heart is shattered and broken. As l still listen to the songs I feel how I can relate to so many of them. The loss of Chester is one that truly impacted my life and shook me to my foundation. I know what it's like to suffer from molestation and drug addiction. I am 6 years drug free, but it's a battle I face daily. I'm 38 and had dream to see Linkin Park in concert. I will never get that opportunity but Chester and his voice and music will is something I carry with me everyday. I named my kitten Linkin Park Chester Bailey. I will forever keep Chester and Linkin Park in my life in my heart listen to all the songs I relate to.
I believe he knew he was going to take his life eventually. These songs are his suicide notes to the world and his family. I have had a very traumatic childhood as well. Attempted suicide at 16. Also struggled with drugs lost about 20 friends to pain pills. When i heard crawling i knew this band was different. I could feel chesters pain in the music. I would tell my friends chester puts his whole soul in the music. We could feel his pain in the music. I think its therapeutic for us to hear these things in the music. Hearing chester scream these lyrics was special.✌
ATS is the album which grows on you each time you listen
Muzic Reder ATS is their defining album. There is so much technicality build in to this album and as a concept it is so strong. Is deep dark and thought provoking.
Muzic Reder Definetely my favorite. I actually knew them with Minutes, so I came with no recognition of their previous albums, I totally fell in love with their lyrics then came ATS my absolutely favorite
A Thousand Suns is hands down their most underrated album. The post post-apocalyptic nuclear concept is amazing and has to be heard from beginning to end rather than individual songs
Muzic Reder Minutes is still my favorite album from them tbh
ATS is the best!!!
The Catalyst and Waiting for the End are my jams!!!
I can't decide which piece to choose from the chorus of Waiting for the End but any of these are crushing:
Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It's out of my control
...and i dont know what it takes to move on...
He actually says "I know what it takes to move on" but that' another haunting line as well
Robbie Moore did he really die? Lyrics sound like a contract that's out of his control. Something he just knew was coming up. I don't expect anyone to have an idea what I'm saying.
Tell me about it :( "All I want to do, is trade this life for something new"? Fuck i am bawling again...
Depression is like drowning, eventually you reach a depth where nothing can reach you anymore, and that is where Chester was and many others still are.
This is beautiful. You are absolutely right in everything. Thank you for this video.
I absolutely loved what you had to say. You are spot on! What Chester's did for me is indescribable. So much of what he sang about so many of us can resonate with.
The song I love Paper cut" it's like I'm paranoid ,it's like a worldwind inside of my head,it's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within ".
Also " the sun goes down ,the sun goes down I feel that life betrayed me".
R.I.P Chester
Papercut is one of my top favorites for me then and is definitely one of their most haunting songs. I think it should have been on this list.
Can't you see that your smothering me?
Holding to tightly, afraid to lose control
Cause everything you thought I would be
Has fallen apart, right in front of you
Numb is not my favorite by them, but it definitely incapsulates the feeling of trying to write yourself for others, and destroying you in the process. It's beautiful.
R.I.P Chester
Phoenix Intergrale numb is my one of my favorites, it's sad to see how he's been going through this
My favorite song too
Thank you for making this video!!!!. I lost my Dad when he committed suicide in 2005. Always been a huge linkin park fan and I always could feel and hear the pain in Chesters voice, hoping and praying he might find a way to deal with this heaviness inside. The message when he past away did hit me hard. Another victim of depression. Another person had been riped out of my life bc of suicide. Every year I make my own little Chester-memory-day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this beautiful video. May Chesters spirit and his music become an infinite source of help for those who seek truth and need support when they deal with depressions.
Sorry about your loss
Here's one that I just thought of:
Now in my Remains
are promises that never came
set this silence free
to wash away the worst of me
From "Iridescent":
When you were standing in the wake of devastation
When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
And with the cataclysm raining down
Insides crying, "Save me now"
You were there, impossibly alone
I know Mike sings this part but every time I listen to it now I think about Chester and how he must have felt during his last moments.
RIP Chester Bennington. We will forever keep you in our memory.
His music will always leave a mark. And even though not every song resonated with me, I can find something good in everything.
I love Linkin Park, forever and always.
#LongLiveLinkinPark
Thank you for posting this, it’s clear it wasn’t easy to talk through the pain and emotion. I’ve an LP fan and always will be. Chester will live on through his exceptional music.
