Worst part of depression and loneliness is that you want to talk about it yet you can’t at the same time....not many understands of what it feels like to feel dead on the inside...
i lost my wife and son in a fire 7 years ago...this hit close to home and fucked me up...loved it though....but it hurt. just waiting for it to end so i can see them again at the crossroads.
“All I want to do is trade this life for something new”. This guy was giving us signs for years. He needed help and the world failed him. Rest easy brother. See you on the other side.
5014chizuka it’s better if people help people with depression I’ve been suffering from depression and anxiety for a long time and it’s hard to try to make myself feel better
May May of course it’s better if ppl can help you, but it’s not always the case. Some depressed person doesn’t even let others to help them because he/she has trust issue. To me, to be able to get out of depression is to find out what is the core reason that triggers the depression. If you trying to forget that you feel depressed, it always come back to your mind. So you need to really feel the pain and why some event or person make you feel in some way. It could be some event from your past that triggers your depression. But you need a right person to help you with this process. What I meant in the previous comment is that you have to go out there and seek help. And keep seeking until you feel better. Because not a lot of people know how to help a depressed person. They can try tho but they just don’t know how. Some therapists don’t know what they are doing. So it’s on you to make a decision to move on and find the right person to help you. and that can only accomplish by yourself.
yeah man, that verse hit me like a truck. you say things that you really don't mean when you're not thinking straight and you can't take it back or it changes the way the person sees you
Man I get what you're saying but I have to disagree with you. Your comment makes it sound like you're isolated and alone because of depression. It is a grossly heavy burden, but you gotta remember you're not alone my dude, there are people how there who will and do know because they're suffering the same, or similar. You just have to hash it out with those people, just need to be heard a bit
@@NewOldEBM it's a whole different thing it's not just that you feel alone and shit .....it's nothing like that....some people even get into depression cuz of some embarrassing moments of their life....They just can't take it out of their head and what people think....The biggest solution to this problem is to stop thinking what people think but again it's not that easy....
and yet depression is the only thing we'll ever know about his reasons, so it's less than what truly happened... rest in peace Chester Bennington, you deserve a place in Heaven...
I always felt like this was a song about breaking up and the emotions related to it. "I know what it takes to move on" "The hardest part of ending is starting again"
I fell in love with this entire album after I left my drug addicted husband. It truly got me through one of the worst times of my life. I remember blaring it in the car, belting out the lyrics with tears streaming down my face. I felt every word in the deepest parts of my soul. I will never forget it, and will always be grateful for music like this.
That's why those songs helped me so much, every time i feel bad, i have just to listen to Linkin Park, for every single problem i have in my life there is a song related to it, right now it's this one.
Chester was so depressed. He processed his suffering in his lyrics and touched a lot of people with his lyrics and his music. An extraordinary talent. He inspired so many people.
Same. There are many days that I listen to this hoping that I can one day cute my mom of her many illnesses. I am 28 and still hug onto her some nights and cry like a baby because feel like a complete failure not being able to cure her. I have to often repress a "Force Scream" . There are nights that I just want to go out into the desert and let loose every iota of the grief and shame I have built up within me. It's out of my control to help her and it's a shame I will carry with me to the grave. I love her so much and not being able to make her better no matter how much I want to is true psychological torture.
Those lyrics are explaining exactly what im going through in life. Sad we only have one chance to do right..thanks for the light Chester. Those words are meaning a lot
I think Chester felt the same even 10 years after those lyrics. I hope you the best brother/sister. Seek help if you need it; there is no shame. If you don't find help; find me and let's talk. After 10 years of depression, I will be trying shrooms microdosing next week, to see if it helps. I have got a job as a chef, i have got a life companion for 11 years, i have plans for the future; Still i am not safe, not complete, not ok, and don't believe i will ever be. If you feel the need to talk, talk to me. I feel that need as much as you do. Hope everyone the best.
I hope you are doing alright man. I've wasted my life aswell but i'm trying to stay around for the loved ones around me. We got to hold on to something to stay alive I guess. Wish you the best in life brother. Stay strong!
0ffender x666 It all makes sense now if you hear most of his song's since the first album he is litterly calling out for help or you can say all that he was going thru but sad to know his gone..but all we have is music and memories. I hope we could help ppl out that have a hard time but only the once going thru it will know..RIP Chester...🙏
"Sitting in an empty room, trying to forget the past"... This line means a lot to me... When my grandma died, Thats all I could think about.. And my pets were the next big heartbreak for me...
I don’t know. Of all the celebrities and public figures we’ve lost over the years for some reason Chesters hits me the hardest. I’m listening to his music now you realize how profoundly lonely he was. And these songs take on a new meaning and a new beauty. Even though I wasn’t privileged enough to know him personally, growing up with his music helped me so much in my darkest years. Thank you Chester. Still miss you.
This song is very powerful. I'm able to relate. I think many of us know someone who took their life. I know 3. One was a neighbor, another was a coworker and another was a stranger that I knew. Sometimes you can be surprised by who they are. It's not always obvious who is suicidal. Just imagine what someone is going through for them to take their own life.
I read the lyrics it does sound obvious he was feeling this pain himself how better to explain your pain than to write this about someone else, rest I in peace Chester luv Carrie and Jordan
Idk why but the lyrics of this song just feels like were made for this hard part of my life R.I.P CHESTER BENNINGTON he was legend, he is still a legend and he'll always be legend😿❤😿😔😭😢🌹
I was recently diagnosed with cancer and I am feeling this song so hard right now. I've always felt Chester's spirit and soul in his voice and found the lyrics of Linkin Park songs to be so relatable, but this is a whole new level. God bless all of ya'll. Keep holding on... ❤ "keep the faith and fight the good fight til your race is run."
Father in Heaven we ask that you lift up our Sister and carry her through the challenge ahead. We pray in the name of Your Son, our Savior Yeshua. Amen
Literally started listening to this at 13 years old and "just" liked the way the music sounds. Now 22 years old and realating to the lyrics. Rest in Peace Chester, we all miss you.
Today was my last day of 8th grade. There was a slideshow presentation today with music playing and someone (I am totally convinced that it was my math teacher) put this song in it. I'll admit I at first got excited, because I am a huge LP fan, and I also got a little emotional... I'll probably go back to this comment in a few years, just remembering the memories I have of this year. I hope that if you're reading this, you have a good day.
Ive been listening to the band since I was in second grade and this band has changed my way of seeing life. Hope this dude is in heaven having that fun he couldnt find on life. Rip Chester
As someone who’s severely bipolar… I interpret this song a bit different. I find myself, consistently waiting.. not for the end of my life, necessarily. Sometimes, the pain is quite bad, and that is the only thought I can muster… but, on most days, I’m waiting for understanding. Of why I feel this way. Of what my purpose is. Of what, we as humans, are doing to each other. I’m waiting for the end of heartache, so my life can finally start. It truly does feel like I’m holding onto nothing; this existential dread is truly what suffering feels. This hopelessness that I can’t shake. I want it to end. I want to breathe and feel life.. I want to laugh, and feel genuine happiness, rather than disdain for the realization my smile constantly has tears behind it. I’ve been breaking for a while… I want it to end… I want to let go… and trade this life for something new… something beautiful. Something hopeful… and all inclusive. I’m just here, waiting…😢 I’m constantly praying to things I don’t believe in, for strength… and hope… but it’s fruitless… I’ve realized now it has to come within. These thoughts that come at the speed of light… is it overthinking? Is it intelligence? Is it worth anything? Will my mind ever slowdown?
I'm actually happy that mental health isn't a taboo subject anymore so that being said if you're reading this know that you are special and you are NOT alone and there is gonna be a better day.. stay strong to all and the ones who have the gift of humility thank you and your presence in my life is the best gift to me
My go to song! helped me get through my fathers passing. RIP Chester thank you for all the great music. Never will be forgotten. May your family find the strength to get through this hard time.
I just imagine Chester suffering through these words and melodies while Mike is the hopeful friend trying to both empathize and uplift. Mike speaks of new beginnings and moving forward, but Chester can’t see the path forward. It’s all here. In this one song. Through every lyric, melody, and tone. I wonder how much Mike and the rest of the band new how real this was at the time.
I read the lyrics it does sound obvious he was feeling this pain himself how better to explain your pain than to write this about someone else, rest in peace Chester luv Carrie and Jordan
In 2010, I can remember hating this album, being disappointed with the change to their sound. In retrospect, it’s really a well written album with non-LP textures, and has room for the sound to resonate without Brad Delsons guitar taking control. After 11 years and Chester’s death, this is the album to remind me of that time period.
The saying "in the end, only you can help yourself" is true but people tend not see the real meaning behind that sentence. Only u can help you if u let others help u.
I forgot this song, I was listening to LP greatest hits doing laundry and this song started playing so I am listening thinking man what a good song, and I just started tearing up and started crying. I’m not sure why, I think the lyrics and chester’s voice. Thinking what a horrible horrible loss it was when Chester left. I miss him, I have never ever felt so bad about someone I didn’t know personally. It still bothers me. I just wish it didn’t have to be that way. I wish he could have found peace here in earth. We are only here for such a short time, and a lot of it can be unbearable, but if you can trudge through the unbearable parts, you hopefully can find happinesss joy hope love. I don’t know how bad it must be to take your own life. I just can’t imagine, but I am not always happy, sometimes it seems like it’s unobtainable, but then before you know it there is something to put a smile on your face. Life is just so short! And it sucks when we just got to kiss people who are no longer here, “ holding on to what I haven’t got” Rip
Chester is beyond words, he was truly an angel speaking the minds of millions who would understand and listen to him but as a over thinker with obsessive compulsive thoughts I in a way knew he was writing his suicide letters to his fans through his songs, I knew he wanted to end his life because like his song said "nobody's listening"
with this song, mike once again proves that he is incredibly versatile, he can play the keys, he can rap, he can sing, and now he can pull off the reggae type sound in this song, is there anything that man can't pull off?
Like so many of us, he was always on the ragged edge everyday looking for reasons to keep going and hoping you don't finally get a good enough reason to say goodbye. I think he knew well before that day what he was going to probably do, he had found just enough of a reason to make one final statement. People don't realize how good we are at looking fine when we are far from it, we could be laughing with you an hour before that moment comes. In his case, we all think being a famous rockstar would be amazing, but if you look at all of the people we've lost to either suicide or overdose from looking for an escape through drugs, it really must turn into an awful thing. RIP Chester, Chris, Staley and the list goes on. May God be with the rest of us that are so tired and done with this place, and help us to find comfort in realizing how many of us are standing at the edge but haven't jumped yet.
Thank you Mr. Shanoda and Chester for sharing. These two individuals gave us (strangers) such a glimpse into their most intimate parts of thier lives through their music it's impossible not to call them family. I miss a person I never knew because we've always known each other despite never once meeting.
Holy shit. I haven’t used iTunes in years but I had this song purchased from when it came out and it came on during shuffle today and wow… hits hard now. RIP
Instant tears every time, and beautifully written and composed. I can relate to his struggle. RIP, you are so missed by so many. Hopefully you are at peace and in a better place. ❤❤❤❤
And to think this was what Chester's mind was enduring until he could not take it anymore. He saved millions, if not billions, of lives that listened to the lyrics right from his heart. Yet he couldn't save his own...
One of the best songs ever written. I often think about what lies on the other side. I hope that i go back into a better time period. My mom, she has several chronic illnesses and I wish I could visit the ethereal abyss and find some way to relieve her of all the ails her. I feel things very strongly, i have even begun to suffer from some symptoms of her's (anxiety and nausea) but i am glad to have it if it means taking some of it away from her. I love her more than most people are capable of understanding and I only want her better. A little off topic but if this was the Star Wars universe, I'd be on what I call the illuminated side of the force. I draw upon emotion and darkness for selfless purposes. I will do anything I can in this life to heal her. Once, a thought briefly skimmed through my mind. It said that "I shall be the one to light the silver fire". I don't know what it means at the moment. Maybe tapping into an as of yet untapped power within myself? I think i felt somewhat of a prelude to that. I cried for no reason and didn't eat for three days leading up to Russia's invasion of The Ukraine. What I woke up on the day of the invasion, my mom told me and in my mind, I raged out like an inferno. Knowing that there was nothing I could do to help those people, really saddened me. I have a potential, but I wish to use it to heal my mom. That is a quest that will occupy a big chunk of my life and I am glad to do that, she means the world to me and I can't stand to see her in pain. I hold her and cry sometimes, telling her that I am failing her but she assures me that I am only doing what is humanly possible, ....... At the moment. I vow to get the ability to make her better. Thank you Linkin Park for the amazing music. It has gotten me through some very difficult times.
I used to LOOVE this song(still do )when I was like 10. Played it on repeat alll day and never knew the meaning of it until a couple years ago. Rip bro
truly my fav song ever. i listened and admired this more than any other song out there. EVER. truly gifted song. deserves more credit and fame than it gets. WAITING FOR THE END!
Worst part of depression and loneliness is that you want to talk about it yet you can’t at the same time....not many understands of what it feels like to feel dead on the inside...
I can feel you
I do
Talk to Christ and you'll be better.
True..
That pretty much me in a nutshell
i lost my wife and son in a fire 7 years ago...this hit close to home and fucked me up...loved it though....but it hurt. just waiting for it to end so i can see them again at the crossroads.

every his song was that message and i think they were like that after 2010... i don't know...
I wish I was on the other side man !!
Sometime you are the only person who can save yourself, even if the pain came from outside.

Nah it's the opposite
yeah man, that verse hit me like a truck. you say things that you really don't mean when you're not thinking straight and you can't take it back or it changes the way the person sees you
I sincerely hope he's resting now. Depression is .....more than anyone will ever know
Right, and it is.
Man I get what you're saying but I have to disagree with you. Your comment makes it sound like you're isolated and alone because of depression. It is a grossly heavy burden, but you gotta remember you're not alone my dude, there are people how there who will and do know because they're suffering the same, or similar.

My 12 year old self used to love this song but my 22 year self just realized it’s a depression song but i still love it
Dude same ! Back then i would just jam out to it and now i still jam out to it while crying lol
I always felt like this was a song about breaking up and the emotions related to it.
"I know what it takes to move on"
"The hardest part of ending is starting again"
I fell in love with this entire album after I left my drug addicted husband. It truly got me through one of the worst times of my life. I remember blaring it in the car, belting out the lyrics with tears streaming down my face. I felt every word in the deepest parts of my soul. I will never forget it, and will always be grateful for music like this.
I knew when I was 12 years old that this song gonna help in my growth
Same this song is so Heartbreaking 💔
best part of LP is that you can relate yourselves to their songs in one way or another
because they dont sell lyrics...they write what is real
Yep
That's why those songs helped me so much, every time i feel bad, i have just to listen to Linkin Park, for every single problem i have in my life there is a song related to it, right now it's this one.
Especially if you grow older.
RIP Chester and Chris, your music changed my life :(

Chester was so depressed. He processed his suffering in his lyrics and touched a lot of people with his lyrics and his music. An extraordinary talent. He inspired so many people.
He was exemplary! And such a beautiful sensitive soul! I thank him for all his wonderful inspirational music that I wish could have saved him! 💔😭
"It's out of my control"
"Thoughts were spinning in my head"
"So many things were left unsaid"
"It's hard to let you go"
These lines make me cry

"This is not what I have planned. It's out of my control." So, I always listen to the songs of Linkin Park.
13 yrs ago but this song still hits hard ❣️ we miss you Chester 😢hit like for him.
Out of all of LP's songs, this one is the best by far.

this sounds like a good bye letter of Chester , makes me feel so sad.
I tend to ignore this song a lot, don't know why. But when I do play it, I remember how good it is.
Maybe you are trying to ignore it because its actually kind of sad
This is one of my favorite songs and had the best music ever and I just can't believe Chester is gone....
can't believe it either...
Me ethier...
He saved many lives, but we failed to save his. I'm sorry.
He took the feelings of everyone who is depressed and wrote it into a song. Love this song until my end!
This song is a true masterpiece. He was a legend for sure. RIP Chester
This is a perfect song considering the recent loss of legendary vocalist of Linkin Park Chester Bennington
Ive been listening to the band since I was in second grade and this band has changed my way of seeing life. Hope this dude is in heaven having that fun he couldnt find on life. Rip Chester
My brother just died.. and the last post of his facebook was this song.. i missing him so much.. may God rest his soul, and give him paradise

i love you chester i wish i could saved you as you saved me
Amen sister!

I’ve been breaking for a while… I want it to end… I want to let go… and trade this life for something new… something beautiful. Something hopeful… and all inclusive. I’m just here, waiting…😢
I’m constantly praying to things I don’t believe in, for strength… and hope… but it’s fruitless… I’ve realized now it has to come within.
These thoughts that come at the speed of light… is it overthinking? Is it intelligence? Is it worth anything? Will my mind ever slowdown?
I'm not bipolar but for me existential philosophy and logo therapy. Though it can get really heavy, really fast.
Damn those lyrics. Never put enough attention to them :(
3:31-3:40 it shocks me how that isn't the most replayed part of the song. the way Chester hits that note is phenomenal beyond words
We miss you Chester! 😭😭😭 Your music has saved so many lives and also changed us. You will always be the most bad ass music legend to all of us!!! 💙

Late but been here during living things
Sorry minutes to midnight
Since Hybrid Theory here. My first album i ever bought. My mom HATED IT hahaha
+Thomas Wukitsch This is Satan album! 😂😂😂
Hunting party but I've listened to almost all of their music
This is one of those songs where you can apply it to anything or anyone, and it still works; it's that good.
Now i understand every meaning song, every lyric was always about chester,
I just imagine Chester suffering through these words and melodies while Mike is the hopeful friend trying to both empathize and uplift. Mike speaks of new beginnings and moving forward, but Chester can’t see the path forward. It’s all here. In this one song. Through every lyric, melody, and tone. I wonder how much Mike and the rest of the band new how real this was at the time.
Sometimes i feel like nobody can understand me
Than when i read comments from Lp’s songs
There so many people i can relate with…
I read the lyrics it does sound obvious he was feeling this pain himself how better to explain your pain than to write this about someone else, rest in peace Chester luv Carrie and Jordan
Like a dumbass i cry everytime i listen it
I'm a dumbass too.
Daniele Ferraro If being a dumbass is listening to this song, I wanna be a dumbass
+Daniele Ferraro If that's so, we're all dumbasses
I'm glad of that!
You can say that again
As sad as this song is, there is hope in it.
Or at least longing for hope.
I love this song, I find it uplifting when I'm feeling down.
Agreed- it gives me hope to fight through it all. 💪🏼
"Sitting in an empty room
Trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last
I wish it wasn't so"
Wow this 4 lines resembles me completely
waiting for the end.......of class
sitting on my ass again...This is not what I had planned, It's out of my control...
this was never meant to last... i wish it wasn't so...

@@user-nh6yf5xm9y I know how it feels get bad grades, I know how it feels to lie
Even my mom thinks this is the best song ever made.
You nailed my last 25 years.
I think this is what Chester was thinking in his final moments.
Man I miss Chester. His lyrics, his passion, everything was so raw and authentic. RIP Chester 😓♥️
The hardest part, is knowing we will no longer hear Chesters voice
JayGamerShow: we are not able to hear new songs from Chester.
But we can listen to old songs and interviews and so can we hear his beautiful voice! 😊😉

Story of my life right now.
Same.
It's mine too
And how do you feel now?
The hardest part of ending is starting again
In 2010, I can remember hating this album, being disappointed with the change to their sound.
In retrospect, it’s really a well written album with non-LP textures, and has room for the sound to resonate without Brad Delsons guitar taking control. After 11 years and Chester’s death, this is the album to remind me of that time period.
The saying "in the end, only you can help yourself" is true but people tend not see the real meaning behind that sentence. Only u can help you if u let others help u.
This song is amazing !!! Like all LP songs!!! Linkin Park has always been my favourite band ❤️
8-Jan-2023 anyone here for this masterpiece 🥰🥰
I have to say my favorite part is the guitar near the end.
+Ridderless Odin Yeah, me too.
Ridderless Odin mine is at the beginning😊
This guy was a tortured soul and through his emotions he gave us a masterpiece
Artists are the soul of the world
I forgot this song, I was listening to LP greatest hits doing laundry and this song started playing so I am listening thinking man what a good song, and I just started tearing up and started crying. I’m not sure why, I think the lyrics and chester’s voice. Thinking what a horrible horrible loss it was when Chester left. I miss him, I have never ever felt so bad about someone I didn’t know personally. It still bothers me. I just wish it didn’t have to be that way. I wish he could have found peace here in earth. We are only here for such a short time, and a lot of it can be unbearable, but if you can trudge through the unbearable parts, you hopefully can find happinesss joy hope love. I don’t know how bad it must be to take your own life. I just can’t imagine, but I am not always happy, sometimes it seems like it’s unobtainable, but then before you know it there is something to put a smile on your face. Life is just so short! And it sucks when we just got to kiss people who are no longer here, “ holding on to what I haven’t got”
Rip
Chester is beyond words, he was truly an angel speaking the minds of millions who would understand and listen to him but as a over thinker with obsessive compulsive thoughts I in a way knew he was writing his suicide letters to his fans through his songs, I knew he wanted to end his life because like his song said "nobody's listening"
The hardest part of the ending
Is to start up all again
with this song, mike once again proves that he is incredibly versatile, he can play the keys, he can rap, he can sing, and now he can pull off the reggae type sound in this song, is there anything that man can't pull off?
Like so many of us, he was always on the ragged edge everyday looking for reasons to keep going and hoping you don't finally get a good enough reason to say goodbye. I think he knew well before that day what he was going to probably do, he had found just enough of a reason to make one final statement. People don't realize how good we are at looking fine when we are far from it, we could be laughing with you an hour before that moment comes. In his case, we all think being a famous rockstar would be amazing, but if you look at all of the people we've lost to either suicide or overdose from looking for an escape through drugs, it really must turn into an awful thing. RIP Chester, Chris, Staley and the list goes on. May God be with the rest of us that are so tired and done with this place, and help us to find comfort in realizing how many of us are standing at the edge but haven't jumped yet.
Heart touching...............love every song of linkin park...........bt now really missing Chester.
I can feel the lyrics and feels like this song is written for me... The lyrics is too much deep and relatable to my damn broken life 🙏
I hope you are getting over bad stuff in your life!
Thank you Mr. Shanoda and Chester for sharing. These two individuals gave us (strangers) such a glimpse into their most intimate parts of thier lives through their music it's impossible not to call them family. I miss a person I never knew because we've always known each other despite never once meeting.
"It's hard to let you go" I love this song!
all i wanna do is trade this life for something new
RIP chester benington
Holy shit. I haven’t used iTunes in years but I had this song purchased from when it came out and it came on during shuffle today and wow… hits hard now. RIP
Instant tears every time, and beautifully written and composed. I can relate to his struggle. RIP, you are so missed by so many. Hopefully you are at peace and in a better place. ❤❤❤❤
I’ve been listening to this one song on loop while going on vacation and I can say I’m still not sick of it.
Never will be
And to think this was what Chester's mind was enduring until he could not take it anymore.
He saved millions, if not billions, of lives that listened to the lyrics right from his heart. Yet he couldn't save his own...
Billions?
Sitting in an empty room
Trying to forget the past 😭😢
This song brings me to tears every time.
020723..this song hit me so bad... hit my feelings. this is me now... 😭😭💔💔💔💔💔broken.. depressed..so much pain
You're not alone, me too
One of the best songs ever written. I often think about what lies on the other side. I hope that i go back into a better time period. My mom, she has several chronic illnesses and I wish I could visit the ethereal abyss and find some way to relieve her of all the ails her. I feel things very strongly, i have even begun to suffer from some symptoms of her's (anxiety and nausea) but i am glad to have it if it means taking some of it away from her. I love her more than most people are capable of understanding and I only want her better. A little off topic but if this was the Star Wars universe, I'd be on what I call the illuminated side of the force. I draw upon emotion and darkness for selfless purposes. I will do anything I can in this life to heal her. Once, a thought briefly skimmed through my mind. It said that "I shall be the one to light the silver fire". I don't know what it means at the moment. Maybe tapping into an as of yet untapped power within myself? I think i felt somewhat of a prelude to that. I cried for no reason and didn't eat for three days leading up to Russia's invasion of The Ukraine. What I woke up on the day of the invasion, my mom told me and in my mind, I raged out like an inferno. Knowing that there was nothing I could do to help those people, really saddened me. I have a potential, but I wish to use it to heal my mom. That is a quest that will occupy a big chunk of my life and I am glad to do that, she means the world to me and I can't stand to see her in pain. I hold her and cry sometimes, telling her that I am failing her but she assures me that I am only doing what is humanly possible, ....... At the moment. I vow to get the ability to make her better. Thank you Linkin Park for the amazing music. It has gotten me through some very difficult times.
I've never been a big fan of LP, but this song hits me. Especially the part Chester is singing. I feel the things he was feeling. R.I.P Chester :(
Wishing I had the strength to stand...
Oh hello 7 yrs old comment 😁😂
I used to LOOVE this song(still do )when I was like 10. Played it on repeat alll day and never knew the meaning of it until a couple years ago.
Rip bro
I love coming to this and just cry my heart out. :(

So much power in these lyrics.
One of the best tracks Linkin Park ever made ❤️
It's like it was written right before his death... But it wasn't... This somehow scares me
I wish there was a way to make a tear drop because this song makes me want to let my tears gush out so people can understand me. This song is awesome.
Damn this song is a description of how he killed himself....
every LP songs actually ..............
Most of LP songs
