What surprised me most about this song was that it was Mike Shinoda who wrote the lyrics. Reportedly Chester himself was shocked by how closely the song reflected his own feelings, and he had difficulty singing it at first. The lyrics are so simple, yet they feel very real. Mike did a wonderful job.
Mike is a wonderful lyric writer honestly. This combined with how good he raps and Chester's voice, we got a masterpiece like In The End or Somewhere I Belong. Love them both so much 💙✨
Kind of explains the video a bit more too, I think. It’s Chester who jumps off the building (the lyrics are reflecting his thoughts and actions) but they’re in Tokyo (echoing Mike’s Japanese heritage, and Chester’s spirit travelling through the city) - it’s a nice way to blend that sentiment of them becoming one, together.
Was it not written specifically for Chester, as he was battling a drug and alcohol addiction at the time? Isn't that why it was one of Chester's favourite songs?
Why? The literal habit in this song was drug abuse. Mike wrote this to Chester even though it's a song that Chester ends up singing. It's not a suicide song. RIP Chester.
No matter the meaning behind when they wrote it. It has different meanings for anyone who hears it. You can relate this song to many internal struggles people face.
Absolutely. That part with “I paint it on the walls..” shows perfectly what depression can make with our minds. I fight with anxiety and depression, I’m a strong person and always win, but hearing that part of the song just slaps me on the face every time as you have to face your demons every day and start the fight again and again.
I've battled against many, many dark stuff through the years, and Chester/Linkin Park has been one of my biggest reasons to stay another day here. Sometimes it's really complex to live through the day, especially when you're not sure if anyone else cares. Our only goal is to keep walking, keep fighting, and feeling grateful. And yes, wherever Chester is, I'm grateful for his music.
@@EliezerAamesINTL Hey mate, I'm sorry that you've been through so much stuff. I've also battled myself against a lot of dark thoughts and loneliness, so I know what it feels like to bear everything alone. Feel free to message me if you need to discuss anything or another point of view.
I like to think that in that part he says "I'll never find a cure, and this is how we dance", maybe because even with the hardships he still wants to keep going
RIP Chester, your band and music saved me in high school and my darkest places in a broken home growing up. Thank you and I love you , you are immortal to me.
lyrics : Memories consume like 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 don't want to be the one the battles always choose 'cause inside I realize that I'm the one confused 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 I don't know how I got this way I know it's not alright So I'm breaking the habits I'm breaking the habits tonight Clutching my cure I tightly lock the door I try to catch my breath again I hurt much more than any time before I have no options left again I don't want to be the one the battles always choose 'cause inside I realize that I'm the one confused 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 I don't know how I got this way I'll never be alright So I'm breaking the habits I'm breaking the habits tonight I'll paint it on the walls 'cause I'm the one at fault I'll never fight again And this is how it ends I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream But now I have some clarity to show you what I mean I don't know how I got this way I'll never be alright So I'm breaking the habits I'm breaking the habits I'm breaking the habits tonight
The saddest part in all of this is remembering all the critics who dismissed songs and lyrics like this as nothing but Chester whining or seeking attention. The Man had genuine depression and suffered profoundly in his life, yet it was disparaged by blithering idiots who wanted to dismiss it or assert the fact they themselves had a more positive disposition. That perennial emptiness and soulless attitude is holding us all back.
I love LP and Chester but what do you expect? People to run to Chester's house and hold him telling him it's all gonna be okay? Some things can't be touched. And who are these critics you speak of? Because I don't know them.
@@VolvoMoose13 You don't know them? Guess they must not exist then. I don't expect anybody run to a depressed person's house, but not being a dick is the bare minumum and people often failed/fail to meet that level.
There' two kinds of people in the world regarfing that: people who understand depression (and who often has it) and people who don't understand it (and often will never suffer it). Sadly I am one of the first type, like I guess many of you guys in here. That's why this song sometimes punches so hard. Sadly some of my friends will never understand. They even try! But I guess will never understand the emptiness one feels within. It is a very sad thing.
It reminds me of an interview with Chester and Mike and Chester was saying about in his head is a bad place for him to be and it was like Mike was just like yeah Chester we get it ......but being with someone like that for so long you just assume they are just seeking sympathy the sad thing is you don't realise how serious someone is until they actually do something and as much as people say we all underestimate it to a point it's all sad it really is I think Mike is a great mate and I think they always have been there for Chester I guess didn't realise how much he was hurting no one did ....
The sad, twisted irony of being able to save millions with your music; but being unable to save yourself. A cruel twist of fate truly that Chester was himself unable to continue living with his demons. RIP, Chester Bennington. Hopefully your music can continue to save others from the fate that you sadly couldn't escape yourself.
It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis... was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians... to create... life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about... from dying." The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities... some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was... losing his power. Which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself."

I am breaking the habit today Chester. I got my first job after battling depression and PTSD since my childhood. I am 28 today and need to listen to you today. Edit: Love to you guys who understand our very lonely battle we all fight together. Its going great and I am doing good, I wish health and success to every kind soul wishing me well. :)
And don't ever stop fighting that war! it will go on forever and u will have to battle when the time arises again and again. With consistency, dedication routine! Love and hope u will conquer all those battles! try practice some form of meditation to have more control on the battle field! it honestly never gets easier but you will grow stronger mentally and learn how to deal with the battles quicker and faster and keep conquering young king! may we all prosper and find health and happiness and make it out of the darkness and see the light
2:10 - 2:30 so much POWER and PAIN!! I still cant believe it..Rest in Paradise Chester,thank u for your Music! Nice greets from Turkey to all the Linkin Park Fans.
My heart is heavy listening to this thinking about Chester. I hope you are free from your demons. Thank you for sharing your gifts and influencing so many people in life. Rest in Peace, brother.
Chester was my Kurt Cobain. He got me through my teen years. I still can't believe he's gone and I will always regret not seeing LP live when he was still alive. Thanks for helping keeping those who are struggling here man. RIP.
I entirely agree and relate to you on every aspect, I was asked by my dad if i wanted to see one of the concerts live and I was like "next time".. but there was no next time. Biggest mistake I've ever made in my life.
This song hits you right in the gut. Wanting to change, trying to fix yourself, not wanting to be part of the problem but can't help feeling like you are anyways, and wanting to give up when the last straw snaps. If you need help, get some. It will make you no weaker, for the strongest people in the world needed help too. Rest in peace Chester ❤
@@nowheelgap whatever hard times you’re going through right now, just hang tight, there’s people that love and care about you, they wanna see you happy and if it’s really serious, I recommend a therapist they help a lot. Stay strong.
Big love everybody in this comment section youve got this i personally have also struggled with low moods and some would call it depression and just know your not alone and its all good just kick depression in its face everyday and tell it to go and do one 🙌💚 youve got this!!!!!!!
Its heartbreaking as we realize the man who is still helping millions of people breaking their depression and encouraging to fight, has lost his own battle. Chester Bennigton, you're still alive in millions of hearts. We miss you .
Depression is always with us. Some of us just get tired of fighting it. Especially when it gnaws at you for years over and over again. It’s sad but it’s still life.
Cette homme a souffert de la dépression depuis sa plu tendre enfance à cause d'un salopard qui a abusé de lui enfants pauvre Chester il a gardé cela secret pendant des années sa lui bouffer de lin😮 alors il sait Di que le meilleur moyen pour oublier sa souffrance été de quitter ce monde j'espère que celui qui lui a fait du mal dans son enfance pourri ra en enfer Chester sache que un jour tes fans te reveirons ❤❤❤❤on t'aime
He didnt suffer from anything, the peydo club ended him cause they tried to warn us about the reality of this world stage, end of story. Oh hai podesta, we know.
The most horrible feeling in the world is that you failed to save the person who saved you. A hero saves millions of people, but who will save the hero?
A song that has uplifted many lives and helped people bear through tough times, is now marked under "Self Harm" topic by UA-cam? Wow! What kind of guidelines allow a platform to have all non sense speeches and fake news, but consider pure art as a 'harmful-to-consume' entity? Shameful. Linkin Park songs are the reason most kids, students, adults and even those in depression are alive today. Breaking the Habit is all about going beyond the monotonous life, something we all need at times. During pandemic, this song probably helped millions to stay sane. Which is also evident from the views of this video staying high since 2020! UA-cam, seriously, this is NOT the way you treat art!
Anthony Mannino Word. Hard to believe that he still suffered so hard from his depression. R.I.P Chester, your Music saved me from suicide, but it couldn't save yourself...
The music video does to me too, from the part with the dude and his heroin, to the part where the girl is raped (she is right? unless I misunderstood the video). Those things actually happened to Chester. It's really sad. He helped a lot of us through difficult times, and it sucks that we couldn't affect him in the same way.
All of a sudden, the lyrics mean much more; they are much more than words. Ever since Chester's passing, I have felt the true meaning of every song. I guess it takes a death to be able to understand the message behind every song... RIP Chester... we love and miss you so.
honestly i love this band but not feel so much when he died because for me i live with linkin park but not with chester... i dnt even know this band lead singer... sad.. but after he died i see the song lyric like the story of his life (no matter who wrote it) and thats hit me very hard...
This music got me though the darkest times in my life. I just wish it could have done the same for Chester. Rest In Peace my dear friend, you are loved and missed.
This song was Chester's favorite song and shakes me to the core hearing it after his passing. I'm in tears because the saddest part about this song is that it could be interpreted as breaking the habit of addiction. But when you watch this masterpiece of a music video Chester is showing us he broke the habit by jumping from the building breaking free of the pain because in the last chorus he says "I know I'll never be alright." Its goodbye. His spirit leaves him and becomes one with the other people struggling. It's like I can feel that spirit right with me now as I listen to it. Haunting, devastating, definitely their darkest song.
Papercut was his personal sweetheart and Mike's is Waiting For The end. Watch Mike's podcast with his hierarchy of all their liked songs, and he mentioned Chester's at one stage too.
You’re wrong. In the video time is reversed because Chester undid his suicide and chose to live. Breaking the Habit is a rejection of suicide and a resolution to keep living no matter what life throws at us. It is extremely dangerous to think that Chester wanted to die or that he genuinely chose and planned to end his own life. He died of depression, which is a serious mental illness. You speak of death as if it is a good thing that somehow sets people free, which is also extremely dangerous and not true. Chester needed help to live and it is absolutely tragic that he did not receive it before it was too late. All I can do is affirm the message of this song to you. Break the habit and choose to live!
@SP2718 Not hating here, but it sounds like you're interpreting depression while not having to personally struggle from it. People get to the point where they feel like the need to escape. For many, it eats away until it eventually wins. Not saying taking your own life is the right move because it definitely is not, but depression clouds perceptions and clear thinking. Trying to create a distinction between 'dying from depression' and choosing to end your life is odd because its all in the same. It comes from the inability to think clearly and seeing the world through a distorted lens. Chester was self aware to understand where he stood, he felt hopeless because for many depression is a life long struggle that doesnt end. He definitely was crying for help.
Chester died on my birthday. As someone who has battled trauma, depression and anxiety LP was one of the only bands that could express everything I felt. To loose him to his battle gave me less hope for mine.
I almost cried when I saw your comment 5 days ago. He's still here, he helps you, and tried to save others, with the music he did and you'll find him there. Keep doing it well, everything it's gonna be better.🖤
As a teenager, i had no idea what this track was about, the melody was enough to please. But as a adult, i’m scared of how well i get this track. God damn. RIP Chester!!
For years this song was my song because I thought it could explain my bout of depression, my desire to hurt myself and end all the pain. After Chester died I started listening differently. I no longer think it's about understanding pain, but a warning to face it. I started treatments with therapists, reconnected ties and did everything I could. I haven't had such a deep crisis in years, don't want to hurt myself anymore. Of course, my mind still has the habit of still thinking horrible things sometimes, but Chester gave me the strength to fight and say "I'm breaking the habit tonight". Thank you Linkin Park.
@kyleaustin2392 dude you are a weak human if what you do is scour the comments section looking for someone who you can put down with your silly words. Seriously how does a person expressing themselves ruin a song for you 😂 . You must be lonely or just in need of a hobby🧐

"I don't want to be the one the battles always choose 'Cause inside, I realize that I'm the one confused" Couldnt be more true. Thanks for everything Chester, wherever you are now.
When I was a kid, my brother (12 years older than me) was going through heroin addiction at the time this song was released. I was only about 9 or 10 but I still remember how bad my family was falling apart and how scared I was for my brother. This song took me to another place and helped get me out of my head, along with all of Linkin Park's music at the time. It gave me hope for him to get clean and he ultimately did. I'm 24 now and looking back on this has always been bittersweet, but now it has a new impact with Chester gone. You were like a friend I could always go to when I was feeling down. And all I know is that my world is a bit more empty knowing you're not in it. No words can do you justice for your impact on me. Rest in peace, Chester. 🤘
Taylor Bivens Funny I was 9 when my sister, older than me used to blare this and other songs from her room. She was going through stuff and Linkin Park hence always reminds me of her
brandonheat2k7 i understand what you have been going through i whas in the same position go butt fight my way true it just like you butt whe still standing respect for you men i wish you all the best ! ! ! !
his music is literally the soundtrack of my life since i was too young to remember and my mother started me on it. I cannot for a second believe whats happened.... "tragic" is not a word that does it justice. "devastating?" "annihilating" i honestly don't think there's a word for it.

RIP Chester Bennington. One of the most influential singers to a band who influenced the Nu Metal scene. Growing up to linking park, some of my best memories were shared with their music. And for that, I am ever grateful. RIP CB. Touched the life's of so many. 🤘❤️🙌
It’s so ironic that his songs kept so many people from committing suicide but yet here we are with him. Sad indeed. He helped me in 2004 when my mom passed on. I was 15...I wanted to join her so bad. This helped me
i lost my mom too back when i was 16 it's getting easier not because the pain is gone but because you learn how to live with the pain. chester really helped me through it and i tried to commit suicide i just didn't find any reason to live anymore, to be honest i don't really like my life now either but it's a little bit better than die. you just need to find the joy in your life even the little things and try to be with a company because loneliness isn't healthy
Anyone else on a LP marathon realise how almost every single song from 15 years ago (Meteora/Hybrid Theory) was a plea for help? Only Chester could have created such beautiful music from sorrow and pain. You live on in our hearts.
You can feel the pain, Chester channeled his battles into his music and it’s been almost 4 years since he passed away and this song still resonates today with people who battle depression.
That's why I feel no voice will ever come close to matching his. He isn't just singing those songs, he's living them. He pretty much pushes all his anger into his voice which I love, it's such a productive and beautiful way to take it all out. Makes me incredibly sad to know that he's not here anymore.
@@leonecartelreborn9628 absolutely 💯 when I heard he passed away in 2017, I was shocked and sad for his family and friends and the fans who lost a true talent.
You should watch them performing this song live. You can feel literally feel the battle inside him (esp in the early days of 2004). Mike wrote this song for a friend of his and chester had a hard time singing it, cause it hit home way too much.
Can we just take a second to appreciate the man that died, but also prevented so many people from dying. And also, let’s appreciate the animation on this video, It’s so good!
I had the thought of listening this song once again after a phone call from a my controlling mom during a class in college, and it hurted me that I couldn't leave her sight even if I'll get to 21. I decided to go to the counselor to talk about my issues about my family and how I feel hiding secrets from them if they can't open up to realize that I'm an adult now and they should give me advice instead of supervision. Linkin Park has been with me in the toughest spaces and I wish to meet Chester again for the last time, but I know he wishes for me to keep pushing through. I hope the ride home will be strong.
You can really hear the pain in Chester's voice, in every song he sings. He didn't know how to fake that shit. That's why LP was so real. And it's why this hurts so much. All the people he saved from the darkness with his music, and in the end there was no one to save him. It's not fair. It's not right. He deserved better than this. The world is a fucked up place.
Here's hoping that your brain never betrays you. Those weren't "emotions" that he was suffering with and from. That's a mental illness which eventually claimed him.
Shame on UA-cam for censoring this video. Mental health is not just an adult topic. Many children struggle with their mental health as well. I know firsthand, because many of my peers in high school did, and I even lost two classmates to suicide in different years. This song is supposed to be uplifting, to encourage others to break through their habits, and is a message to people of all ages. Not just adults.
It was a big deal when it came out. Believe there's a documentary done on this video clip somewhere. It was a whole big shot studio, with every frame drawn by hand (if that wasn't obvious already).
It was directed by a legendary animator named Kazuto Nakazawa. Someone also co-directed it but the 2nd half of this video is animated by Nakazawa himself
@@SimplyRohith-sv5hdJust for reference, Nakazawa-san is known for illustrating Samurai Champloo, you can see the connection between the show and the videoclip.
This song was one of my favorite when I grew up, and still give me so many memories and nostalgic feelings. Linkin park was one of the first band that made me like music like I do today. You will be greatly missed by so many people, Chester. Thank you for everything. Rest in Peace... 💔
Fighting porn addiction and I want to break the habit tonight!!! I pray to God but since a child couldn’t stop or break but I believe the impossible is possible through God and Jesus Christ I am breaking this habit tonight!!
1.5 year clean mate, best decision ever!!!! I did for God and our savior Jesus!I wuld never return and felll 100% better whitout porn.I blured google page for nudity it helps alot
RIP.... There are no words.... Today we Lost a very powerful voice who helped many of us find our way through the very battlefield he navigated for so long....
Still can't believe LP goes on without you, Chester... "From zero" : it sounds like you've never existed ... Wish the best to the band and Emily, but, for me, it's over, LP is dead with you. Love U for ever, hope you're in peace, sweet angel 💚🖤🤘
Just cried by myself in my car listening to this entire album only to come here and find out that this has been age restricted. Chester fought for a long time and unfortunately lost. You need to ask Mike to put a notice before the video if it’s this big of an issue. People that need to hear and see this might not get to.
@@TheLegendaryBeta i totally agree... we are all suffering, more and more each year because everything just gets tougher and there's not enough talk about mental health until it's too late
🫂 I'm glad as the years progressed that mental health has become much more recognized and I really hope one day it'll stop being sugar coated. I've been listening to so many Linkin Park songs lately because of how much they resonate with me.
Cuando descubres que esta canción es un grito desesperado de alguien que no encuentra la salida, pero al mismo tiempo y en algún momento te identificaste con ella....... woooow !!!! Es una bendición estar vivo y poder apreciar esta OBRA DE ARTE de un artistas caído en la batalla de la vida, quien lo dijera, de las canciones mas bellas en mi play con un verdadero trasfondo oscuro. Bendiciones Chester, siempre hace falta el tuerto en un mundo de ciegos
EMPTY WORDS. let me say if there was 1 chance would you or anyone has commented about this human being that is in the ground now. would any of you all trade places with this human being?
I miss Chester dearly..I met him by chance in the Houston Airport exactly 3 years before his passing..the same day but different year. Thank you so much Chester for spending the few seconds to talk to a fan and give me your signature 😊 I will forever cherish that, it's an amazing memory of him. I cannot imagine what their music would sound like now if he were still with them.... 🔗🔗

As a kid, I first saw this and didn't know what was going on. I was scared of the music video but loved listening to the song. Now as an adult, I finally just now watched the video again and it hits so much differently. RIP Chester...you were really the savior and voice of our childhood.
man i litterally listen to them almost everyday after LOST, all the fuckign songs.from the inside,give up.numb.crawling everything until NEW DIVINE ,after that its bullshit.But yeah the thing i was wondering, am i okay to listen to them again so much ???? HAHAHAHA
An interesting fact about Breaking the Habit: The song was written by Mike shinoda, it was originally about a friend of his that fought a battle against drug addiction. When Chester first heard the lyrics, he related to much to them that it was hard to him to perform the song.
What i understood from some interview that, when chester started to record this song something inside him broke an he broke his own habit which started to affect group then and he became clean ever since...so we might as well say that mike saved many people an chester saved us all....but we couldnt save chester..rip beautiful soul
@@nightmarefanatic1819 Drug abuse is a different version of self-harm which is why the two fit well, but are also polar opposites. I was an opiate addict for nearly 15 years got clean last year and going without feeling or wanting to feel a thing that long really hits you like a truck. We all choose different ways to hurt ourselves to feel alive which is not right and I'm glad I got help. Now I see what a horrible grasp around my neck those tiny pills had on me and my money. I actually have money now.. well Covid-19 isn't really helpin, but I work for what's deemed an "essential business" so a job is a job. I hope those who are self-harming or doing drugs can see this message and realize that you can break the habit, but it takes more courage to stop and get help it takes a lot and I'm proud of those who are are taking even an inch in the right direction. It's hard, but so worth it cause the otherside is so freeing.
I was 15 when this came out i never really understood what it meant then but i understand it more and more every time i hear it ... I hope this song helps someone the way it has helped me
This video is crazy.. The answers to Chester's problems were right here.. The animation of him even killed himself in the video.. This feels so dark now.. It was like a plea for help.
glegg54 He saved people. There are reasons why people liked his music. like right now. He saved people's live. Made people change. for the good. And help to people when the world is dark.
glegg54 We all took this song very differently when we were young. But it turned out it hit closer to home than we ever could have anticipated. Now the words *"I'll never be alright"* leave a hollow, stinging feeling in my chest. RIP my childhood legend.
almost all of the lyrics, were like chester plea for help... true fans, will have a total heartbreak, because it seems like they see it coming, a few thin lines to hold on
This was literally my favorite band of all time. I am devastated to find out one of the biggest inspirations in the war against darkness has fallen. I'm really hurt, as I'm sure alot of people are, because I never thought Chester would give in... He and LP helped me through the most emotional times and the biggest times for growth in my life. (a teenager growing up in the early 2000's) This song was my favorite song by Chester....I'm crying as I write this beacause you inspired me to, "break my own habits," and helped me battle against some of my own feelings of depression. LP made me not feel so alone at a time in my life when I was too young to understand why the world was so fucked up. I just want to thank Chester for being one the coolest and realest people in the entertainment industry. My love goes out to Chester's family and the member's of LP. He was a very special person, and he will be missed for all-time. Linkin Park has ended with the passing of Chester. The world has lost the legendary Chester Bennington. He was a rock god, that helped guide the masses of a lost generation. I'll never forget his voice, I'll never forget him ;) The world is a lessor place without you Chester.
Symphonics he actually was a pop God. They were a pop band. Sure they made some nu metal tracks but that doesn't mean they are a nu metal or rap rock band.
DERPYDEREK 69 actually they are given the most credit along with Limp Bizkit for basically creating Nu Metal. Yes they are a pop bad but that is only because pop just means popular
Symphonics Same here! I was a science nerd and unpopular in high school in early 2000s. I used to listen to this song and others to inspire me. Now, I'm a doctoral candidate. It does get better.
Lyrics : Memories consume Like opening the wound I'm picking me apart again You all assume I'm safe here in my room Unless I try to start again I don't want to be the one The battles always choose 'Cause inside I realize That I'm the one confused 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 I don't know how I got this way I know it's not alright So I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit tonight Clutching my cure I tightly lock the door I try to catch my breath again I hurt much more Than anytime before I had no options left again I don't want to be the one The battles always choose 'Cause inside I realize That I'm the one confused 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 I don't know how I got this way I'll never be alright So I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit tonight I'll paint it on the walls 'Cause I'm the one at fault I'll never fight again And this is how it ends I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream But now I have some clarity To show you what I mean I don't know how I got this way I'll never be alright So I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit tonight
Still my favourite song ever from any band ever. This music video hits so HARD... knowing what happend to Chester, seeing him 'fall' upwards... Breaks my heart, wish this was possible.
"I don't know what's worth fighting for, or why I have to scream, but now I have some clarity to show you what I mean. I don't know how I got this way I'll never be alright so I'm breaking a habit." He was in a lot of pain and didn't know how to deal with it. Wish I could had 1 conversation with the man to try to help him :C
It was 2004 and i was 13 years old kid. The house i lived just been connected to new TV channels and there was russian MTV version. Whole summer i watched music videos non-stop but there was scary one from unknown for me band which contained blood, dark and depressive scenes. Always when this video started, i switched the channel. Some day my older sister found out that i was afraid about the music video, and made me see it whole (she called me a coward and so on). From this day on i became a huge Linkin Park fan for next half of my life. I've listened every album from this guys, and loved every song. Right now i'm with shaking hands typing this comment under exactly that video. I don't know what will happen to Linkin Park, but they really changed my life, and i will always be grateful for that. Farewell, Chester.
I can say almost the same thing, I was 13 years old in 2004 also and started to listen to linkin park, saw him live, and loved every album. Today is such a sad day. Can't get over it.
@@thomyyyyyy "..I don't know how i go this way, i'll never be alright, so i'm breaking the habid tonight.. ..i'll paint it on the walls, cause i'm the one that falls, i'll never fight again, and this is how it ends.."
I lost a good friend yesterday. she overdosed in her room after being clean for years. this was her favorite song. I've heard it a million times before but today is the first time I really understood it. Rest in peace kamikaze kitten. you will be missed
The last part of the song and the video make a heartbreaking combo. When you have no video for the song it sounds like a motivational song but when you have the video and consider the words of the song it becomes apparent that this might as well have been Chester's farewell song.
A lot of us listened to Linkin Park to cope with our mental pain, we didn't always know that Chester was right there with us. Rest in Peace you Legend. And to all those who may be struggling, hurting, considering ending it, Please don't. Please stay with us, I know it is hard but you can make it
I feel this way right now I just want to be free from all the pain I caused myself this song lifts me up a lil this will always be my favorite band Rip Chester
When I was a child, I didn't understand English and had no idea what this was all about. All I knew this looked like some kind of cool anime and I fell in love with the band ever since.

What surprised me most about this song was that it was Mike Shinoda who wrote the lyrics. Reportedly Chester himself was shocked by how closely the song reflected his own feelings, and he had difficulty singing it at first.
The lyrics are so simple, yet they feel very real. Mike did a wonderful job.
Mike is a wonderful lyric writer honestly. This combined with how good he raps and Chester's voice, we got a masterpiece like In The End or Somewhere I Belong. Love them both so much 💙✨
Kind of explains the video a bit more too, I think. It’s Chester who jumps off the building (the lyrics are reflecting his thoughts and actions) but they’re in Tokyo (echoing Mike’s Japanese heritage, and Chester’s spirit travelling through the city) - it’s a nice way to blend that sentiment of them becoming one, together.
@SERA Xx they are twin flames 🔥 a reflection of each other in similar and different ways, a cosmic synergistic expression in human form.
Mike, Chester and Brad Delsom wrote it.
Was it not written specifically for Chester, as he was battling a drug and alcohol addiction at the time? Isn't that why it was one of Chester's favourite songs?
This song help so many people battle depression. Chester & Linkin Park was the therapy so many of us needed.
Still is
Damn right it helps... it helped me
Still us
And still need
Really ? How
After hearing of Chester Bennington's suicide this song has a different meaning to me now. Rest in peace you were a legend man
JaxBlade And will be Forever a legend
Why? The literal habit in this song was drug abuse. Mike wrote this to Chester even though it's a song that Chester ends up singing. It's not a suicide song. RIP Chester.
No matter the meaning behind when they wrote it. It has different meanings for anyone who hears it. You can relate this song to many internal struggles people face.
JaxBlade In the end the habit broke him .... May this legend of a man rest in peace
same for me :( I hate this day..
This song does 100% hit different after Chester’s passing. I hope he knows that he’ll never be forgotten
Absolutely. That part with “I paint it on the walls..” shows perfectly what depression can make with our minds. I fight with anxiety and depression, I’m a strong person and always win, but hearing that part of the song just slaps me on the face every time as you have to face your demons every day and start the fight again and again.
from the top to the bottom
"I'll never fight again and this is how it ends"
Chester's scream is piercing right through my soul like no other voice ever did.
I know exactly what you mean
this is the "i'd like to fly but my wings has been so denied" of the Linkin Park. Down in a Hole - Alice in Chains..
RIP Layne Staley.
I've battled against many, many dark stuff through the years, and Chester/Linkin Park has been one of my biggest reasons to stay another day here. Sometimes it's really complex to live through the day, especially when you're not sure if anyone else cares. Our only goal is to keep walking, keep fighting, and feeling grateful. And yes, wherever Chester is, I'm grateful for his music.
@@EliezerAamesINTL Hey mate, I'm sorry that you've been through so much stuff. I've also battled myself against a lot of dark thoughts and loneliness, so I know what it feels like to bear everything alone. Feel free to message me if you need to discuss anything or another point of view.
I like to think that in that part he says
"I'll never find a cure, and this is how we dance", maybe because even with the hardships he still wants to keep going
RIP Chester, your band and music saved me in high school and my darkest places in a broken home growing up. Thank you and I love you , you are immortal to me.

Sometimes people underestimate the power music has when it comes to helping people through dark and tough times.
Jacob Hurde I mean listen to the lyrics he put everything he felt into them and listening to them ya could tell he was feeling something he didn't say
lyrics :
Memories consume like 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 don't want to be the one the battles always choose
'cause inside I realize that I'm the one confused
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
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habits
I'm breaking the habits tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more than any time before
I have no options left again
I don't want to be the one the battles always choose
'cause inside I realize that I'm the one confused
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
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habits
I'm breaking the habits tonight
I'll paint it on the walls
'cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habits
I'm breaking the habits
I'm breaking the habits tonight

No song on their new album comes even close to the levels of brilliance this song has. It's not even a competition. RIP Chester.
From Zero isn't good enough. Mike clearly cares a lot more for money than art.
Mike wrote the music before Chester was in LP and wrote the lyrics later. Mike is a genius.
The saddest part in all of this is remembering all the critics who dismissed songs and lyrics like this as nothing but Chester whining or seeking attention. The Man had genuine depression and suffered profoundly in his life, yet it was disparaged by blithering idiots who wanted to dismiss it or assert the fact they themselves had a more positive disposition. That perennial emptiness and soulless attitude is holding us all back.
I love LP and Chester but what do you expect? People to run to Chester's house and hold him telling him it's all gonna be okay? Some things can't be touched. And who are these critics you speak of? Because I don't know them.
@@VolvoMoose13 You don't know them? Guess they must not exist then. I don't expect anybody run to a depressed person's house, but not being a dick is the bare minumum and people often failed/fail to meet that level.
It was never a cry for attention, it was a cry for genuine help.
There' two kinds of people in the world regarfing that: people who understand depression (and who often has it) and people who don't understand it (and often will never suffer it). Sadly I am one of the first type, like I guess many of you guys in here. That's why this song sometimes punches so hard. Sadly some of my friends will never understand. They even try! But I guess will never understand the emptiness one feels within. It is a very sad thing.
It reminds me of an interview with Chester and Mike and Chester was saying about in his head is a bad place for him to be and it was like Mike was just like yeah Chester we get it ......but being with someone like that for so long you just assume they are just seeking sympathy the sad thing is you don't realise how serious someone is until they actually do something and as much as people say we all underestimate it to a point it's all sad it really is I think Mike is a great mate and I think they always have been there for Chester I guess didn't realise how much he was hurting no one did ....
His body is gone. But his voice stays in our head. He lives there now.
Every day bro, every day.
Everyday man
That's some truth there 🙏🤘
It's like "even if you're not with me, i'm with you".
His voice stays not only in our head, but also in our soul
The sad, twisted irony of being able to save millions with your music; but being unable to save yourself. A cruel twist of fate truly that Chester was himself unable to continue living with his demons. RIP, Chester Bennington. Hopefully your music can continue to save others from the fate that you sadly couldn't escape yourself.
Too true, too true.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise?
@@adregas8847 やる
is this a fing palpatine meme?
It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis... was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians... to create... life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about... from dying." The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities... some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was... losing his power. Which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself."

I totally share the same sentiments with you dude.
everything you just said!! same. love you always C

I entirely agree and relate to you on every aspect, I was asked by my dad if i wanted to see one of the concerts live and I was like "next time".. but there was no next time. Biggest mistake I've ever made in my life.
Chester was OUR Cobain 😢
This song hits you right in the gut. Wanting to change, trying to fix yourself, not wanting to be part of the problem but can't help feeling like you are anyways, and wanting to give up when the last straw snaps. If you need help, get some. It will make you no weaker, for the strongest people in the world needed help too. Rest in peace Chester ❤
I just love how positive everyone in here is, you all deserve a fucking medal, stay strong brothers.
Awesome comment bro I’m trying to be positive but it’s really fucking challenging
@@nowheelgap whatever hard times you’re going through right now, just hang tight, there’s people that love and care about you, they wanna see you happy and if it’s really serious, I recommend a therapist they help a lot. Stay strong.

so gimme it to me
Big love everybody in this comment section youve got this i personally have also struggled with low moods and some would call it depression and just know your not alone and its all good just kick depression in its face everyday and tell it to go and do one 🙌💚 youve got this!!!!!!!
Its heartbreaking as we realize the man who is still helping millions of people breaking their depression and encouraging to fight, has lost his own battle. Chester Bennigton, you're still alive in millions of hearts. We miss you .
Depression is always with us. Some of us just get tired of fighting it. Especially when it gnaws at you for years over and over again.
It’s sad but it’s still life.
Cette homme a souffert de la dépression depuis sa plu tendre enfance à cause d'un salopard qui a abusé de lui enfants pauvre Chester il a gardé cela secret pendant des années sa lui bouffer de lin😮 alors il sait Di que le meilleur moyen pour oublier sa souffrance été de quitter ce monde j'espère que celui qui lui a fait du mal dans son enfance pourri ra en enfer Chester sache que un jour tes fans te reveirons ❤❤❤❤on t'aime
I still miss him❤❤❤
He didnt suffer from anything, the peydo club ended him cause they tried to warn us about the reality of this world stage, end of story.
Oh hai podesta, we know.
He didn't lose; it was a tie.
The most horrible feeling in the world is that you failed to save the person who saved you. A hero saves millions of people, but who will save the hero?
The song just hits different after Chester's death 😭
So true... No body but him could do good... Rip Chester, all love to you❤️😔

A song that has uplifted many lives and helped people bear through tough times, is now marked under "Self Harm" topic by UA-cam? Wow! What kind of guidelines allow a platform to have all non sense speeches and fake news, but consider pure art as a 'harmful-to-consume' entity? Shameful. Linkin Park songs are the reason most kids, students, adults and even those in depression are alive today. Breaking the Habit is all about going beyond the monotonous life, something we all need at times. During pandemic, this song probably helped millions to stay sane. Which is also evident from the views of this video staying high since 2020! UA-cam, seriously, this is NOT the way you treat art!
out of everything out there they age restrict this, just sad...
It's really pathetic to see how far UA-cam has fallen...
Slipknot XIX
Companies like UA-cam these days just want to put some stupid rulebook on everything when something was clearly made to help people of all ages.
Just paying my respects, all of the sudden the lyrics mean so much more. RIP Chester, you were so much more than an artist
Anthony Mannino Word. Hard to believe that he still suffered so hard from his depression. R.I.P Chester, your Music saved me from suicide, but it couldn't save yourself...
The music video does to me too, from the part with the dude and his heroin, to the part where the girl is raped (she is right? unless I misunderstood the video). Those things actually happened to Chester. It's really sad. He helped a lot of us through difficult times, and it sucks that we couldn't affect him in the same way.
Tom Popolo well said man
im speachless with the opinions of people, this guy was special, people got it, we are sleeping
Their last album sucked anyway.
I have a lot of problems but this music makes my problems flow away. R.I.P Chester and thank you
All of a sudden, the lyrics mean much more; they are much more than words. Ever since Chester's passing, I have felt the true meaning of every song. I guess it takes a death to be able to understand the message behind every song...
RIP Chester... we love and miss you so.
Hand Hanzo/YoungSoros, ❤️❤️❤️
Are you serious!? you didnt feel this with LP before he died??? Fake fans popping up everywhere now its sad...
JIN Kazama you're an idiot
The BuilderBoxGamer honestly like fuck man
honestly i love this band but not feel so much when he died because for me i live with linkin park but not with chester... i dnt even know this band lead singer... sad.. but after he died i see the song lyric like the story of his life (no matter who wrote it) and thats hit me very hard...
This music got me though the darkest times in my life. I just wish it could have done the same for Chester. Rest In Peace my dear friend, you are loved and missed.
Sending you hugs. This band helped me get through some horrible things through my preteen and early teen years.. Devastating..
I feel exactly the same way. This is so sad.

This is going to have an effect on me.
hi
he was helping others to break the habit, but for himself was just one way to break it.
always missed and praised.
This song was Chester's favorite song and shakes me to the core hearing it after his passing. I'm in tears because the saddest part about this song is that it could be interpreted as breaking the habit of addiction. But when you watch this masterpiece of a music video Chester is showing us he broke the habit by jumping from the building breaking free of the pain because in the last chorus he says "I know I'll never be alright." Its goodbye. His spirit leaves him and becomes one with the other people struggling. It's like I can feel that spirit right with me now as I listen to it. Haunting, devastating, definitely their darkest song.
That has to be the saddest yet honest psychological evaluation of Chester Bennington. Thank you.
Papercut was his personal sweetheart and Mike's is Waiting For The end. Watch Mike's podcast with his hierarchy of all their liked songs, and he mentioned Chester's at one stage too.
You’re wrong. In the video time is reversed because Chester undid his suicide and chose to live. Breaking the Habit is a rejection of suicide and a resolution to keep living no matter what life throws at us. It is extremely dangerous to think that Chester wanted to die or that he genuinely chose and planned to end his own life. He died of depression, which is a serious mental illness. You speak of death as if it is a good thing that somehow sets people free, which is also extremely dangerous and not true. Chester needed help to live and it is absolutely tragic that he did not receive it before it was too late. All I can do is affirm the message of this song to you. Break the habit and choose to live!
@SP2718 Not hating here, but it sounds like you're interpreting depression while not having to personally struggle from it. People get to the point where they feel like the need to escape. For many, it eats away until it eventually wins. Not saying taking your own life is the right move because it definitely is not, but depression clouds perceptions and clear thinking. Trying to create a distinction between 'dying from depression' and choosing to end your life is odd because its all in the same. It comes from the inability to think clearly and seeing the world through a distorted lens. Chester was self aware to understand where he stood, he felt hopeless because for many depression is a life long struggle that doesnt end. He definitely was crying for help.
Chester died on my birthday. As someone who has battled trauma, depression and anxiety LP was one of the only bands that could express everything I felt. To loose him to his battle gave me less hope for mine.
Please don't lose hope💜
stay strong, I’m rooting for you
🤍
I almost cried when I saw your comment 5 days ago. He's still here, he helps you, and tried to save others, with the music he did and you'll find him there. Keep doing it well, everything it's gonna be better.🖤

For years this song was my song because I thought it could explain my bout of depression, my desire to hurt myself and end all the pain. After Chester died I started listening differently. I no longer think it's about understanding pain, but a warning to face it. I started treatments with therapists, reconnected ties and did everything I could. I haven't had such a deep crisis in years, don't want to hurt myself anymore. Of course, my mind still has the habit of still thinking horrible things sometimes, but Chester gave me the strength to fight and say "I'm breaking the habit tonight". Thank you Linkin Park.
I dont know you man, but I love you.
@kyleaustin2392 dude you are a weak human if what you do is scour the comments section looking for someone who you can put down with your silly words. Seriously how does a person expressing themselves ruin a song for you 😂 . You must be lonely or just in need of a hobby🧐
it's hard to face these things but worth it. you should be proud of yourself for the progress you've made
@@kyleaustin2392betch stfu, everyone gives the song a different meaning
You could not be more right. Starting the fight is always the hardest part, but you did. You got this.
I respect the new era and im happy listening to new songs of lp
Chester will always be our comfort pillow
Lyrics
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
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
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside, I realize
That I'm the one confused
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
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonigh

Thank you.

"I don't want to be the one the battles always choose

Couldnt be more true. Thanks for everything Chester, wherever you are now.
When I was a kid, my brother (12 years older than me) was going through heroin addiction at the time this song was released. I was only about 9 or 10 but I still remember how bad my family was falling apart and how scared I was for my brother. This song took me to another place and helped get me out of my head, along with all of Linkin Park's music at the time. It gave me hope for him to get clean and he ultimately did. I'm 24 now and looking back on this has always been bittersweet, but now it has a new impact with Chester gone. You were like a friend I could always go to when I was feeling down. And all I know is that my world is a bit more empty knowing you're not in it. No words can do you justice for your impact on me. Rest in peace, Chester. 🤘
Taylor Bivens is your brother still alright?
Taylor Bivens Funny I was 9 when my sister, older than me used to blare this and other songs from her room. She was going through stuff and Linkin Park hence always reminds me of her
Taylor Bivens
Taylor Bivens I love this, I like seeing other people's stories and relationship to Linkin Park. and the impact that they had on people's lives

Not his own 😢
@@TagLizzard hey

I know depression is a horrible thing but that pain he felt is now just felt by the people who loved him

If he only knew how many people he helped in life and STILL continues to help after his passing.. fucking legend, RIP
Amen... 🙏
True... i was on the edge when I was in my teens. LP was my sound track for life.
It's helping me through a lot
his music is literally the soundtrack of my life since i was too young to remember and my mother started me on it. I cannot for a second believe whats happened.... "tragic" is not a word that does it justice. "devastating?" "annihilating" i honestly don't think there's a word for it.

RIP Chester Bennington. One of the most influential singers to a band who influenced the Nu Metal scene.
Growing up to linking park, some of my best memories were shared with their music. And for that, I am ever grateful. RIP CB. Touched the life's of so many. 🤘❤️🙌
It’s so ironic that his songs kept so many people from committing suicide but yet here we are with him. Sad indeed. He helped me in 2004 when my mom passed on. I was 15...I wanted to join her so bad. This helped me
I feel your pain I was in the same boat at 11 I'm 28 now
@@juanitadorado9712 take care of you guys we love you
Gregoire Diniz Guimaraes 💯💙💙
i cut my had 4 rimes on this song
i lost my mom too back when i was 16 it's getting easier not because the pain is gone but because you learn how to live with the pain. chester really helped me through it and i tried to commit suicide i just didn't find any reason to live anymore, to be honest i don't really like my life now either but it's a little bit better than die. you just need to find the joy in your life even the little things and try to be with a company because loneliness isn't healthy
Anyone else on a LP marathon realise how almost every single song from 15 years ago (Meteora/Hybrid Theory) was a plea for help?
Only Chester could have created such beautiful music from sorrow and pain.
You live on in our hearts.
so true :(
Amogh Gulwady Chester had suffered with suicidal thoughts, drug use, and sexual abuse, all as a kid. His music was a way to vent.
Average Joe and. parents divorced when he was 11. the death of his close friend. suffered depression......
Yes, i I too read about Chris Cornell.. music forged them together.. his demise in May moved him lots..an irreparable loss
Omg ur rite wow
Thank you, chester i hope you've found peace
You can feel the pain, Chester channeled his battles into his music and it’s been almost 4 years since he passed away and this song still resonates today with people who battle depression.
That's why I feel no voice will ever come close to matching his. He isn't just singing those songs, he's living them. He pretty much pushes all his anger into his voice which I love, it's such a productive and beautiful way to take it all out. Makes me incredibly sad to know that he's not here anymore.
@@leonecartelreborn9628 kurt cobain?
@@leonecartelreborn9628 absolutely 💯 when I heard he passed away in 2017, I was shocked and sad for his family and friends and the fans who lost a true talent.
By any chance did you ever read the foot notes in the album sleeve? He was open about what was going to happen.
You should watch them performing this song live. You can feel literally feel the battle inside him (esp in the early days of 2004). Mike wrote this song for a friend of his and chester had a hard time singing it, cause it hit home way too much.
Can we just take a second to appreciate the man that died, but also prevented so many people from dying. And also, let’s appreciate the animation on this video, It’s so good!
It's Gonzo, lol
I had the thought of listening this song once again after a phone call from a my controlling mom during a class in college, and it hurted me that I couldn't leave her sight even if I'll get to 21. I decided to go to the counselor to talk about my issues about my family and how I feel hiding secrets from them if they can't open up to realize that I'm an adult now and they should give me advice instead of supervision.
Linkin Park has been with me in the toughest spaces and I wish to meet Chester again for the last time, but I know he wishes for me to keep pushing through. I hope the ride home will be strong.
Timeless

"I'll never fight again. And this is how it ends".... It really ended. You stoped fighting... Hope you find your safe place now. RIP Chester. 😢😢😢
You can really hear the pain in Chester's voice, in every song he sings. He didn't know how to fake that shit. That's why LP was so real. And it's why this hurts so much. All the people he saved from the darkness with his music, and in the end there was no one to save him. It's not fair. It's not right. He deserved better than this. The world is a fucked up place.
Ryan Crowell I agree, it's not fair.
So true
Couldn't have said it better myself...
Here's hoping that your brain never betrays you. Those weren't "emotions" that he was suffering with and from. That's a mental illness which eventually claimed him.
True
It was Chester’s favourite song...and it’s the same for me❤
Shame on UA-cam for censoring this video. Mental health is not just an adult topic. Many children struggle with their mental health as well. I know firsthand, because many of my peers in high school did, and I even lost two classmates to suicide in different years.
This song is supposed to be uplifting, to encourage others to break through their habits, and is a message to people of all ages. Not just adults.
Exactly
Well said
I really don't have any problem with the video...🤔I don't see any message and everything work as usual.
Yeah stupid UA-cam this song is inspiring to everyone all ages
@@soleiltounsi6754 me too
Whoever animated this years ago. Had such remarkable talent. Its so beautiful!
It was a big deal when it came out. Believe there's a documentary done on this video clip somewhere. It was a whole big shot studio, with every frame drawn by hand (if that wasn't obvious already).
It was directed by a legendary animator named Kazuto Nakazawa. Someone also co-directed it but the 2nd half of this video is animated by Nakazawa himself
@@SimplyRohith-sv5hdJust for reference, Nakazawa-san is known for illustrating Samurai Champloo, you can see the connection between the show and the videoclip.
If you ever watched Kill Bill, you'll find his animation there too.
I want to learn to draw like that style. I wonder how they drew this Linkin Park animation video.
This song was one of my favorite when I grew up, and still give me so many memories and nostalgic feelings. Linkin park was one of the first band that made me like music like I do today. You will be greatly missed by so many people, Chester. Thank you for everything. Rest in Peace... 💔

Good old Death Note memories.
RIP my friend , you were a great singer
He was the Legend.
Just cried by myself in my car listening to this entire album only to come here and find out that this has been age restricted. Chester fought for a long time and unfortunately lost. You need to ask Mike to put a notice before the video if it’s this big of an issue. People that need to hear and see this might not get to.
The lyric videos aren't age restricted this video is age restricted due too suicide references.
@@BlackHippy313 doesn’t matter. Sugar coating mental health is an issue this world needs to stop ignoring
@@TheLegendaryBeta i totally agree... we are all suffering, more and more each year because everything just gets tougher and there's not enough talk about mental health until it's too late
🫂
I'm glad as the years progressed that mental health has become much more recognized and I really hope one day it'll stop being sugar coated. I've been listening to so many Linkin Park songs lately because of how much they resonate with me.

I just started listening to linkin park and now I can't stop replaying them 😢
its all a matter of time
@@_1m-fOiV3_h3h3welcome to the team❤
man i litterally listen to them almost everyday after LOST, all the fuckign songs.from the inside,give up.numb.crawling everything until NEW DIVINE ,after that its bullshit.But yeah the thing i was wondering, am i okay to listen to them again so much ???? HAHAHAHA
honestly, even as an adult, i still have no idea what's going on in the music video lol.
An interesting fact about Breaking the Habit: The song was written by Mike shinoda, it was originally about a friend of his that fought a battle against drug addiction. When Chester first heard the lyrics, he related to much to them that it was hard to him to perform the song.
Yeah I learned that a few days ago, I hadn't realized it.
What i understood from some interview that, when chester started to record this song something inside him broke an he broke his own habit which started to affect group then and he became clean ever since...so we might as well say that mike saved many people an chester saved us all....but we couldnt save chester..rip beautiful soul
It's also very, very reminiscent of self harm as well, especially if you take some of the lines more literally.
as someone whose been there, I relate to this song.
@@nightmarefanatic1819 Drug abuse is a different version of self-harm which is why the two fit well, but are also polar opposites. I was an opiate addict for nearly 15 years got clean last year and going without feeling or wanting to feel a thing that long really hits you like a truck. We all choose different ways to hurt ourselves to feel alive which is not right and I'm glad I got help. Now I see what a horrible grasp around my neck those tiny pills had on me and my money. I actually have money now.. well Covid-19 isn't really helpin, but I work for what's deemed an "essential business" so a job is a job.
I hope those who are self-harming or doing drugs can see this message and realize that you can break the habit, but it takes more courage to stop and get help it takes a lot and I'm proud of those who are are taking even an inch in the right direction. It's hard, but so worth it cause the otherside is so freeing.
I was 15 when this came out i never really understood what it meant then but i understand it more and more every time i hear it ... I hope this song helps someone the way it has helped me
This video is crazy.. The answers to Chester's problems were right here.. The animation of him even killed himself in the video.. This feels so dark now.. It was like a plea for help.
glegg54 He saved people.
There are reasons why people liked his music.
like right now.
He saved people's live. Made people change. for the good.
And help to people when the world is dark.
glegg54 We all took this song very differently when we were young. But it turned out it hit closer to home than we ever could have anticipated. Now the words *"I'll never be alright"* leave a hollow, stinging feeling in my chest. RIP my childhood legend.
almost all of the lyrics, were like chester plea for help... true fans, will have a total heartbreak, because it seems like they see it coming, a few thin lines to hold on
kuan meng True Story 😭💔
The shadow of the MV from Chester's life story....too dardness and sadness...
This was literally my favorite band of all time. I am devastated to find out one of the biggest inspirations in the war against darkness has fallen. I'm really hurt, as I'm sure alot of people are, because I never thought Chester would give in...
He and LP helped me through the most emotional times and the biggest times for growth in my life. (a teenager growing up in the early 2000's) This song was my favorite song by Chester....I'm crying as I write this beacause you inspired me to, "break my own habits," and helped me battle against some of my own feelings of depression. LP made me not feel so alone at a time in my life when I was too young to understand why the world was so fucked up. I just want to thank Chester for being one the coolest and realest people in the entertainment industry. My love goes out to Chester's family and the member's of LP. He was a very special person, and he will be missed for all-time. Linkin Park has ended with the passing of Chester. The world has lost the legendary Chester Bennington. He was a rock god, that helped guide the masses of a lost generation. I'll never forget his voice, I'll never forget him ;) The world is a lessor place without you Chester.
Symphonics d
Symphonics he actually was a pop God. They were a pop band. Sure they made some nu metal tracks but that doesn't mean they are a nu metal or rap rock band.
Yeah. I miss you Chester! You were and still are a legend! X'(
DERPYDEREK 69 actually they are given the most credit along with Limp Bizkit for basically creating Nu Metal. Yes they are a pop bad but that is only because pop just means popular
Symphonics Same here! I was a science nerd and unpopular in high school in early 2000s. I used to listen to this song and others to inspire me. Now, I'm a doctoral candidate. It does get better.

Out of all the Linkin Park songs that I grew up with, this one is just too much of a personal favorite.
Rest in Peace, Chester Bennington.
Same❤ i loved it as a kid and i love it now, forever
This, Numb, and New Divide are my all time favorites with this being my #1 favorite.
It was 2004 and i was 13 years old kid. The house i lived just been connected to new TV channels and there was russian MTV version. Whole summer i watched music videos non-stop but there was scary one from unknown for me band which contained blood, dark and depressive scenes. Always when this video started, i switched the channel. Some day my older sister found out that i was afraid about the music video, and made me see it whole (she called me a coward and so on). From this day on i became a huge Linkin Park fan for next half of my life. I've listened every album from this guys, and loved every song.
Right now i'm with shaking hands typing this comment under exactly that video. I don't know what will happen to Linkin Park, but they really changed my life, and i will always be grateful for that. Farewell, Chester.
I can say almost the same thing, I was 13 years old in 2004 also and started to listen to linkin park, saw him live, and loved every album. Today is such a sad day. Can't get over it.

@@thomyyyyyy "..I don't know how i go this way, i'll never be alright, so i'm breaking the habid tonight.. ..i'll paint it on the walls, cause i'm the one that falls, i'll never fight again, and this is how it ends.."
I lost a good friend yesterday. she overdosed in her room after being clean for years. this was her favorite song. I've heard it a million times before but today is the first time I really understood it.
Rest in peace kamikaze kitten. you will be missed
sunshinethor420 I'm sorry for your lost
@sunshinethor420 I am sorry for your lost :(
sunshinethor420 why?
sunshinethor420 i am also sorry. Do you mean drugs?
Lowiiification yes
This is definitely one of those "best songs I've heard in my life".
Hell yeah definitely. And Chester gives it such raw emotion!
It’s awesome
100%
I think so
13 years later and it still has me in a choke hold. Hits the same yet different
Lyrics with such deep emotions just as the visuals truly a masterpiece
The last part of the song and the video make a heartbreaking combo. When you have no video for the song it sounds like a motivational song but when you have the video and consider the words of the song it becomes apparent that this might as well have been Chester's farewell song.
A lot of us listened to Linkin Park to cope with our mental pain, we didn't always know that Chester was right there with us. Rest in Peace you Legend. And to all those who may be struggling, hurting, considering ending it, Please don't. Please stay with us, I know it is hard but you can make it
I feel this way right now I just want to be free from all the pain I caused myself this song lifts me up a lil this will always be my favorite band Rip Chester
Exactly 👏

🙏🙏🙏
He still died
May he live forever, may he come back one day, may we all. 💙
But lets life as we dont
When I was a child, I didn't understand English and had no idea what this was all about. All I knew this looked like some kind of cool anime and I fell in love with the band ever since.
whats the name of this anime though ??
