By Myself - Linkin Park (Hybrid Theory) 

It's cool and scary at the same time to listen to all these Linkin Park songs from your childhood and understanding them much more than before. It shouldn't be relatable...

The scream Chester does hits so hard. Ive been through hell with my school life and relationship life to a point that I wanna learn screaming vocals just to let my anger out. THIS is the closest I can get to expressing my anger lol, just putting this on my speaker MAX VOLUME.

Chester's voice is a masterpiece in itself

“Do I trust some, and get fooled by phoniness, or do I trust no one and live in loneliness?” - Linkin Park

Hybrid Theory is a modern classic..

Anyone else listing to all these songs all over again, it's just as good as the first time I heard all these songs

Chester's vocals in this are haunting and beautiful. One of the more underrated songs of theirs for sure.

2024?! Anyone?!

I'm glad Linkin Park exists.

the album that turned a young black kid on to rock music LP for life

That riff damn.. LP just nailed it so good back there

"MYSELFFFF!!!!" always gives me goosebumps

It's legitimately scary how real this song is

by myself(2000): " I can't hold on." heavy(2017): "I'm holding on"

One of the realist songs they ever made.

very underrated linkin park song, chester's vocals are powerful and shinoda's rapping is fcking tight. i really like linkin park songs where mike shinoda's and chester bennington's vocals dance back and forth with eachother

Hello, childhood, it's good to see you again.

listening to Chester screaming 'Myself' gives me goosebump.

We miss you Chester RIP 😔

I was at work, when news came over the radio, about him. I was fixing a lawn mower tractor. The tone of the shop went quiet you could hear a bolt drop. And ting an ding across the floor. I was mad and upset at the time, but, then I put myself in his shoes and how he could have felt. Even though he had millions and had a big fan base for whatever reason he was still sad and depressed and felt his music wasn’t therapeutic for him to get over his demons. From the comments this band touched so many lives. And even though we lost someone we looked up too. I know we all for gave him for his actions and we are all still listening to his music like he is still present on Mother Earth..to this day…

_Linkin_ _Park_ "By Myself" From _Hybrid_ _Theory_ What do I do to ignore them behind me? Do I follow my instincts blindly? Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening? Do I sit here and try to stand it? Or do I try to catch them red-handed? Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness? Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin I make the right moves but I'm lost within I put on my daily facade but then I just end up getting hurt again By myself (myself) I ask why, but in my mind I find I can't rely on myself (myself) I ask why, but in my mind I find I can't rely on myself I can't hold on To what I want when I'm stretched so thin It's all too much to take in I can't hold on To end things watching everything spin With thoughts of failure sinking in If I turn my back I'm defenseless And to go blindly seems senseless If I hide my pride and let it all go on Then they'll take from me 'till everything is gone If I let them go I'll be outdone But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer By myself (myself) I ask why, but in my mind I find I can't rely on myself (myself) I ask why, but in my mind I find I can't rely on myself I can't hold on To what I want when I'm stretched so thin It's all too much to take in I can't hold on To end things watching everything spin With thoughts of failure sinking in How do you think I've lost so much I'm so afraid I'm out of touch How do you expect I will know what to do When all I know Is what you tell me to Don't you I can't tell you how to make it No matter what I do How hard I I can't seem to convince myself I'm stuck on the outside Don't you I can't tell you how to make it No matter what I do How hard I I can't seem to convince myself I'm stuck on the outside I can't hold on (To what I want when I'm stretched so thin) It's all too much to take in I can't hold on (To anything watching everything spin) With thoughts of failure sinking in I can't hold on (To what I want when I'm stretched so thin) It's all too much to take in I can't hold on (To anything watching everything spin) Without some failure sinking Songwriters: Brad Delson / Chester Charles Bennington / Joseph Hahn / Mike Shinoda / Robert G. Bourdon

when i was young, linkin park saved my life in more ways than one. i cried so hard when Chester died. my husband was upset too... shortly after i turned out to be pregnant of a son. we named him Chester :)

my sister got me Hybrid Theory as a Christmas present CD when I was sixteen. Loved all of it but this was always my favourite song. It still is.

It’s scary how much more I feel the lyrics than back then

Hybrid Theory will always be my favorite album from them

Anyone else on a Linkin Park marathon :?

I was 18 when this came out. I loved this song after seeing them perform it at Ozzfest 2001.

THIS WHOLE ALBUM IS A MASTERPIECE!!! FIGHT ME ABOUT IT!!! Time flies people before you know it you’ll be in your 30s wondering what happened to your younger years!

This is one POWERFUL song...lyrically, energetically, instrumentally...it’s all too much to take in 💯

By myself--- *MY SHEEEEEELFF!* I ask why-- *BUT IN MY MIND I FIND* I can't rely on myself-- *MY SHEEEEEELF!* Don't you--- *KNAAAAAAAAH* I can't tell you how to make it--- *GAAAAAAAAH* No matter what I do, how hard I--- *TRAAAAAAAAAH* I can’t seem to convince myself--- *WHAAAAAAA* I'm stuck on the outside. Don't you--- *KNAAAAAAAAH* Old Linkin Park is best Linkin Park 10/10

It was also hard for me to listen to Linkin Park after Chester passed. Sometimes i wanna end my life, but my daughters wife and family the small things hold me. I almost died yesterday, This song makes me kick life in it's ASS :) Makes me happy! I'm 32 today, I grew up on LP, Good times being a kid with this kind of music. Thank you Mike, Brad, Rob, David, Joe and of the late Chester. "I heard you die twice once when they bury you in the grave And the second time is the last time that somebody mentions your name So when I leave here on this earth did I take more than I gave? Did I look out for the people or did I do it all for fame?" R.I.P Chester you only died once. ❤

that visceral scream when he sings "myself" hits my core

so many people here say 'ahh childhood' but even though i loved their music when i was a kid, its never had more meaning in my life than right now. this song, is exactly whats been going on in my head, and its terrifying

If I’m killed by the questions like a cancer Then I’ll be buried in the silence of the answer by myself (myself) Best line in the song

Legit 💯 RESPECT Linkin Park 2024

My favorite Linkin Park song! Rest in peace, Chester ❤ 10/25/2022

It's like he took all the bad thoughts we had in ourselves Into himself and kept it from harming us, his music healed us because we could hear raw emotions pouring out of this man, his music will forever be imbeded into us

"Do I trust some an get fooled by phoniness, or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?" Well... I guess they might be right.

I really miss the early 2000's. So much nostalgia runs through my mind when I listen to this stuff. I just don't know where 20 odd years have gone, I really want to go back to the best years of my life as a teenager.

Hybrid Theory is the perfect album. All songs are masterpieces

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda] What do I do to ignore them behind me? Do I follow my instincts blindly? Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?

I miss you chester ❤

Chester's voice sounds like Kurt Cobain in this. Mike and Chester have one of their best back and forths

This song is really underrated

Who here still misses Chester in 2021? 🔥

Its like a modern fusion. Electronic / hip hop + Metal......👏👏👏👏

The amount of bench press PR’s I have banged out to 2:13. Thank you Chester Bennington for allowing me to witness the glow up of a vocalist Legend.

They don't make rock music like this anymore. That guitar is something else

Everyone always talks about the guitar, but you gotta give the drums some respect too

Along with Points of Authority, this is my favorite song.

this is the most intense and heavy song linkin park has ever made

I'm no expert on this but one of that many things Chester and Kurt have in common is their ability to scream while still sounding quite melodic which is very satisfying to my ears .

*Depression kicks in 2020* Me:" aight... Back to LP i guess."

el crunch de la guitarra al principio y la versatilidad de voz que tiene Chester, hace de esta, mi cancion favorita ♥

Hey Chester, it's April 2024, nothing has changed, we still listen to your work, forever..🥀🥀

What a way to start the Millennium with this badass album!

I grew up on your songs. They always inspired me, at the most difficult moments of my life, when I myself wanted to surrender and commit suicide. You saved me, I will remember you.

I CANT RELY ON MYSELF!

I always considered myself a "Hard old style metal lover", starting in my childhood with bands as Black Sabbath, Zeppelin, Maiden and the rest. When in the last years of the 90s appears the nu-metal my first reaction was very skeptical, I accepted bands as Papa Roach or System of a Down, but hated anothers... Then, Linkin Park appeared: I remember me listening and liking some songs but not acepting many others, and always respecting Chester´s voice. Now I cannot stop listening their songs, especially this album, all tracks are absolutely perfection... Now I´m in love with LP, I really miss so much Chester voice.

"I can't hold on" those lyrics are so fitting after Chester's death it's scary.

Depression mixed with an anxious mind sucks. I over think situations and take things out of context and take things personally. It freakin sucks... Idk how to fix it or what to do to make it stop and take control of my mind again.

This song rocks. The whole album does!

That bridge duet of Mike and Chester goes unimaginably hard.

Chester would've been 42 today...R.I.P. we miss you so much 💔

This might be their deepest song, the lyrics alone I mean cmon 🔥❤️🔥❤️ Mike and Chester were the best of the best.

The in-between songs of the mass hits are just so pleasurable 🔥 Hybrid Theory easily the greatest album of the 2000's and beyond

My first ever linkin park song that I’ve listened to

This song hits harder when you just get out of a relationship and feel a half a decade of your life just go down the drain

Who dislikes this? This is a goddamn classic now.

I swear the Linkin Park Songs don't age they are timeless!

this song is so good all these years later

Can me and my fellow drummers take a minute to appreciate Rob with the cymbals and fills after 2:31. His parts are never super complex but they always sound great

that goddamn beginning is so disgustingly raw

A legend. Rest in peace Chester Bennington. You were a music prodigy. If you killed yourself, I'm sorry you couldn't overcome the depression. If someone murdered you and made it look like a suicide...I hope we find them.

Linkin Park is for sure one of the best bands ever

I used to get bullied in school and Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit would help me get through it !

When Chester says I can't hold on. It's all too much to take in. It makes me sad because he couldn't hold on.

Easily the most under appreciated banger they ever released.

The best song from Hybrid Theory in my opinion! They really need to add this to the setlist of live shows again... By Myself and Forgotten are two Forgotten songs.

Mike is such an introspective rhyme spitter

This hits home so hard as I am a 32 yo man vs a 14 yo teenager.

R.I.P Chester Bennington absolute legend 🙌🏻

One of my favorite albums of all time

this song is fantastic . it really shows the anger of one's inability to rely on themselves; it voices what i feel very well. the instrumentation shows how burning the frustration can be, how chaotic it can become. you know you can't rely on yourself but still question it and it only leads to anger and frustration and god does this song convey it well. the end provides an unsatisfactory yet inevitable resolution to the issues pondered within the song; they stop abruptly almost as if to signify one's wish to cease all thought. This song is truly a masterpiece. I am extremely sad to know that the man that wrote it is no longer living. RIP Chester

I thought being by myself would protect me from them but now lonely i see I'm the one who hurts me

This is the song I used to lie in bed and listen to with earphones pressed into my ears as much as I could. Back then I didn't really understand why I related to it. Looking back its a lot easier to see.

Hybrid theory for life..

This music had all the elements that made so many bands popular at the time of its release. The genius was how these elements came out in Linkin Park's sound. You can hear grunge a.k.a. Nirvana, rap a.k.a. Rage Against the Machine, metal a.k.a. the genre in general, and pop (evidenced by the melodies). In their hands, it all came out as their individual sound. For me, the words, Linkin Park, conjured thoughts of quality and thoughts of a fresh sound. Though there were similarities with other artists of the day (Limp Biscuit, Third Eye Blind, etc.), time has shown that Linkin Park had the writing skills and talents to outlast their contemporaries.

The song that got me into rock music. The band that saved my life. The voice that reached billions and saved so many. Thank you, Linkin Park.

“If I’m killed by the question like a cancer, then I’ll be buried in the silence of the answer, by myself”

This was the first Linkin Park song that i heard, back in 2000, and they've been my favourite band ever since. They made me survive and live though my depression, and now depression has killed one of them. RIP Chester.

I just broke down and fell crying because I'm going through the shittiest moment in my life. I never thought I could connect with a song at this level.

I'd give anything if Chester were alive RIP king of Grunge/Metal

Chester you took a part of childhood with you I love you bro and I understand 😞 more than ever now I wish I could just do it too but something won't let me go

I love the way Chester expressed his feelings screaming so furiously, I just can relate so good to this song, this text describes my life so well. This makes me stronger hearing his anger through the pain, reflecting mine.

Still knowing every word, every sentence from every song, while you haven't heard the album in years...

This might be my favourite LP song, EASILY one of their best

Linkin park thank You I am a 16 yr old idiot that needed this.

Chester Bennington forever in our hearts 💓💓💓🎵🎵🇲🇽🇲🇽
