Lucas Young so did Chris Cornell.... I didn't know why his music hit home so hard for me until I found out he took his own life... then it all made sense.
Lucas Young Just proves how much people these days care about how the song sounds over the lyrics. So many "fans" kept complaining over One More Light, it's a great album, regardless of the sound. I've always been one to focus on the lyrics overall, because to me that's the most important part.
Sorry for your lost, he is in a better place now. Stay strong and have hope for everything, life will always be sad and happy that just what it is trust me. I never went to School my whole life, maybe no jobs for me in the future. And I lost people that are important to me, I never know that they are important to me until they are gone. But I think and what I’ve done is that I study by myself and get enough money to travel to places in the world to see this world. Life is so much more, we need to make our loved ones proud, let them know that we are living happily, and most importantly make ourselves happy.
When I was younger, I like linkin park because their songs sound cool. Now I love Linkin Park because of their meaningful messages. Life hits hard but you must get back up to continue finding the meaning in the suffering.
When I was young, I liked the music because it gave me motivation and I didn't know why... now I listen and I think.... why won't people listen to my cries for help when I sing these songs?
I was thinking in suicide twice, but for some reason I didn't, well pain haven't disppaear but music help me a lot to concentrate all negative and liberate this a little, I made a cover: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4kp7UZPVWBY.html
Linkin Parks songs had always had these messages in them...suicide...depression...inferiority...so many important messages that Chester put his heart into singing, telling the listeners of his problems. Rest In Peace.
MoTheWalkingTalkingPotato Studios he wanted us to have something to grieve to, i suppose. a lot of us relate to how he felt. i hope no one else follows his ultimatum.
a lot of people were surprised that Chester killed himself but have you heard his songs and actually payed attention to the lyrics he was going threw it.
Tbh I think most of the younger generation who got into him too late didn’t see it coming (I’m 22) I was shocked but understood that this outcome was always possible given his history as a child. I grew up with his music so I got that he was depressed and suicidal like me. However some people who are younger than me don’t exactly listen to the older albums or just listen to them to look cool, not really understanding the pain in the lyrics.
In 2017 we lost Chester. This year my best friend with whom i listened to Linkin Park met same fate as him. *Please, if you are in pain seek for help, there´s ALWAYS a way out, don´t let this happen again.*
Timetaken157 I’m scared and in pain because I know I’m gonna get old and die like like everyone else does the thing is we don’t actually have any proof of an afterlife that’s why I’m so scared because some people say after you die there is nothing you don’t have a consciousnous I don’t know what to do about it I’m 20 years old so that means I’ll live 20 years only 3 more times then I’ll be 80 and I’m really scared because what happens after you die does your energy still have consciousnence if it leaves your body? Because we don’t remember anything before we were born and people tell me that’s what it’s like when you die but that’s scary as hell!!! I’m really scared about what happens after we die is there really nothing after just like how don’t remember anything before being born? Like I really hope that’s not the case I hope there is some type of afterlife or something in the universe I’m just so scared every day in my life because I know I’m gonna die when I get old I can’t even enjoy life because of those thoughts I wish there was a way to live more like 300 years instead of just 80 or 90 I’m super scared to die one day because who knows if there is an afterlife or nothing please respond to this comment someone please I would love if someone here could try to help a little
This man felt what he wrote. He was calling out, and we selfishly praised him for being depressed. RIP. You were my childhood man. Such talent lost forever.
I never realised you were crying for help, i never knew that cause i was completely confused my whole life, i never knew you died 6 years ago, sorry man😢. You deserved better than this.
Chester is at peace guys. You can listen to his music and be sad or happy or angry or feel however you want to feel. Chester just wanted us to feel the goodness of life.
@@giorgosmanahiaris7086 true I feel terrible for being one of those people who took this song as a meme but I was just a child that didn't understand anything and just followed the crowd but I have definitely learned now that I have had my own experiences with depressive symptoms...chester really did not deserve to go through that...nobody does...
@@giorgosmanahiaris7086 people knew the deep meaning before the memes... why you think the memes started ? Because the lyrics are super edgy... Chester was suffering from chronic depression , but not the rest of his millions of followers . Much less all the people on the internet . That disconnection made people create memes to mock edgyness
It is super ironic since this is probably one of his most personal songs and definitely one that he hated having to sing live because of what it meant to him, although honestly the meme isn't that bad since it's based on how badly the sound of edgy sadboy music from the early 2000s has aged regardless of what the song itself is about, this whole album has definitely aged terribly but no one is going to hate us for still enjoying it, we shouldn't take memes or anything that comes from the internet seriously anyways. R.I.P. Chester
my man chester was a legend he screamed about his depression in all his songs and we all selfishly prasied him and told him to give us more when we didnt even understand what he was feeling rip chester my childhood hero i will never forget you!
@Kidsmeal We don't know what is after death tho. Maybe after death you are going to perfect place with pancakes (why do we live then?), you end in something abyss-like without any bad or good emotions (not bad, maybe you could argue it'd better than real life) or in extreme tortures (why we live only up to 100+ years then?).
isn't it sad and amazing its a little dark but when you shed a light on it you see that's what artists do, they take their struggles pains and goods and bads hard truths something and turn it into something that beautiful something others can connect with and feel too and no one ever thinks twice about it, its just normalized throughout history in society, no one ever looks at what a person was trying to signal or do until they've left even then people can still overlook the meaning of their life
This song put Linkin Park on the map and the lyrics seem to echo Chester's sad and tormented life more then any other LP song. Abused and bullied at an early age, he carried so many demons. Money and fame indeed does not buy happiness, nor absolution. May you finally rest in peace my brother.
I though this song was about how you feel after sexual abuse and how you tend to hate seeing yourself and feel dirty in your own skin. I'm pretty sure breaking the habit was about Chesters heroin addiction and Mike wrote that song for him. One step closer is about having an emotinal breakdown if I recall.
3 years now and it feels like a whole entire life without you Chester, you were so much more than a great musician, composer and incredibly talented voice singer, you really were a great human and a great person, hope wherever you are you have found the peace that you couldnt find here. We all love you.
yeah. that's probably the same for most of us. we live in a shitty system (I don't think it's fair to say "shitty world") it's the system we live in and we actually support it (even by doing nothing) that really sucks
I could not have agreed more! The song definitely brings about a more intense feeling after his passing. And it’s so weird because now when I sit and really listen I mean of course I was really listen but when I sit down and really listen to his music I’m like you know what I can feel so much more of his pain like what he was going through I don’t know exactly but that emotion is definitely increased but this is a classic I absolutely love this song and I miss Chester Bennington I cannot believe we lost him may he Rest In Peace.

Come everyone.....let's cheer up... He's not hurting anymore. The pain is all over for him. Let's not be so sad anymore. He's a legend and he will forever live within our hearts!
One of my friends told me when we were in high school that the video for song was about an abusive relationship. I'd never gotten that from the lyrics until a few years after she told me and I found myself in one. Thank God I'm out of it now.
I could agree, cause I don't find interesting what normal people do, so in some moments I feel really alone, weird, different, uncomfortable, I made a cover of this song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4kp7UZPVWBY.html
Depression and suicidal is the sneakiest illness of them all. You find it hard to get up, hard to even eat or drink coffee, leave the house, put the garbage out, check emails, talk on the phone or even text, many people or some of my friends will say "why didn't you just call me ?" My dear ,believe me, that is one of the hardest things to do. I really want to live but it hurts, it hurts a lot and I can not take it anymore.
Little did we know he's been speaking of his depression through his songs such as this song and this song is about is pain and depression. Well-specified. RIP with the true legends. Ironically, True legends are sometimes found dead. quite sad...
My mom was and is a huge LP fan who introduced me to them when I Was 6. I found them cool and all, never stopped listening to them. 11 years later with the hardships in life increasing everyday Chester's voice makes me feel stronger than ever. RIP to the not incredible man.
@@Name-yx5jv that's true these were all his feelings that he just expressed in song fashion my dad told me when I was little and didn't have a clue. Now I feel like we could've heard him I LOVED HIS SONGS MAN!! they're so good. The new song meta is getting shitty EDM is fine but Hip Hop getting a little tiring to hear.
@@Havealocalife agreed. I am miserable no matter how hard I try. Some days are better, but this whole covid bullshit has only made it worse. Every fucking day is the exact same.
100% here i am with my dad on life support and other shit going on in my life. just thinking fuck maybe someone has it harder. it is a shithole i agree
Amazing how the Internet turned this into the definition of “edgy”, “whiny”, “first-world problems”, when the truth was that this was how he felt. I feel terrible, despite not being a regular Linkin Park listener. RIP Chester.
yes this is how he felt... everybody knew... is not news now just because you just understood the lyrics... it always was interpreted as an outcry of depression. Thing is , the lyrics are soo over the top that it is still used as the symbol of edgy and whinny... is impossible not to make the connection
It's more about early 2000s edgy sadboy music in general, this is sadly one of these songs that has aged very badly but that doesn't take away it's meaning or what it meant to Chester, we should just take memes for what they are and not take them too seriously
@@Dan_Kanerva For some reason everyone pushed him to the side and called him "whiny"simply having a general idea of what someone is going through doesn't do anything to make their situation even remotely better. And majority of the people pushing him to the side and calling him "over the top" are people who have little to no experience with severe depression. Also that is what makes alternative music alternative music. It's supposed to be expressive with a passionate message behind it. That's why people listen to alternative music in the first place because the people within that community actually have something to say.
@@MetalHeartGunner This is a good example of what alternative music is. One of the biggest reasons why a lot of people like alternative music is because unlike a lot of other genres alternative music actually has a passionate message behind it and something to say. While the people who don't truly understand what this song really means we'll make fun of it. And use it as a meme and for jokes. Does not change the fact that this is an iconic that millions of people can relate to, and it also helps millions of people better explain what it is that they are going through.
@@royalrenegade788 Never said Linking Park style is bad , i fvcking love Avenged Sevenfold and System of a Down... the passion in their songs lyrics are pure extasy . But i will be the first to admit they sound veyr edgy . Also , the people who have little to no experience with severe depression , are the ones who believe everyone who says on the internet "i hAve crippLinG deprEssioN"
Im listening to this today after an emotional rollercoaster of a day, crying and raging against myself, listening to covers of this song by aaron lewis and crying, and somehow chesters raw voice brings me comfort and stability. Gone too soon, but too good to remain. RIP Chedter Bennington, you helped me grow up and remain who I am. You will always be a legend and a comfort for anyone who feels out of place.
Rest In Peace Chester Bennington. I've been distraught all day knowing you're gone.. I grew up listening to linkin park and I can't believe you're gone.
And we never will, you can never ever know what someone is thinking or feeling by looking at them and now he is gone no way to know what he couldve had in his head
You know, after he committed suicide, majority of his song is very haunting because it really feels that he has been battling depression for far too long and majority of us luke the song because we thought it is cool or bop. But this are his emotions and these are his sufferings written in songs. I feel same when Avicii and Kurt Corbain. It is very haunting that these artists have been giving us signs but because we don't know better, and the people around them thinks this is just a creative outlet, we weren't able to save them.
I remember the days when I was a kiddo when my mom would wake me up to this when it was was released. She always made sure I had the best breakfast with a good start for a good day. She is still alive and I love her. Linkin Park reminds me of home.
This song had such a deep meaning to Chester... Maybe we didn't pay enough attention from the beginning when LP originally released this 17 years ago. RIP Chester 😓
This proves that he's depressed and he's a great guy who died way too early because of depression and no one helped him out it is a shame he would 44 turning 45 but he was a legend rip
When I'm in college years, I never knew I have all these bottled up feelings until I hear LP. Those times when I screamed together with Chester in my beatup car…
I came here to make crying easier. It really helped, I was feeling really desperate and now I feel fine. Don't store your emotions. Sadness, anger, fear aren't bad, they are normal human emotions. When you don't deal with them in a healthy way they get stale and that's when they harm you and your loved ones. You're not supposed to be happy and calm all the time, let yourself be down, deal with yourself, regroup and keep on going. Hope this helps, have a great day/night.
I never considered myself a huge Linkin Park fan growing up, I certainly enjoyed their music, but I never really went out of my way to find them on the radio (pre RU-vid days for all you youngins out there lololol) However, the older I get, mixed with his untimely passing, I'm finally realizing how incredibly gifted Chester truly was! This man can scream like the devil, and sing like an angel in the same sentence! It's unfortunate it took his death for me to realize this. I truly hope more people understand just how incredibly talented he was. He is/was a TRUE ARTIST, in every aspect of the word! R.I.P. good sir!
Agree with everything you said. What a great talent he was. I also have been listening to a lot of Linkin Park lately now that I am getting older. Very impressed. Wish I could hear him live.
Bless you Jennifer, I must say that I love them because of their musicianship and blend of metal and electronica that really made them stand out, henceforth why I love "Living Things" so much; but I definitely had an understanding of the lyrics and how dark and deep they were, even before Chester's death, I realize that the emotion of this lyrics is what made them a great band to me and a lot of us
May you be in white light Chester. Linkin Park saved my sanity and gave me a home when I was a teenage girl. I appreciate all the members that made this band and the energy they put into these songs. Forever Linkin Park.
This man, bro. He was an angel, and an absolutely amazing person. He will always be with us, both up in heaven and in our hearts. Rip Chester, you beautiful, *beautiful* man...😢
Just listened to Black Hole Sun. Chris... Now I am listening to Crawling In My Skin.. Chester.. You two made beautiful music that got me through so much as a teen.. I can't believe you're gone. Take depression and suicidal threats seriously. Immediately. I will never forget you guys... 💔
As a young adult this is truly the first time a musician I grew up loving passed and it still feels unreal. Thank you Chester for a childhood filled with your voice, I'll never stop listening!
It's serious hearing that from you, you really need to search for help, I mean maybe your parents don't trust in you having that but sometimes It's necessary to go with pshycology, watch my cover: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4kp7UZPVWBY.html
why am i having tears streaming down my face as i think of that legend suffering so much and being taken away. Chester rest in peace i hope you found a place for your head, i hope you found a place where you belong, i hope you are no longer crawling, i hope that in the end you are happy, i hope you are not numb, i hope you found the light, i hope you broke the habit of being i pain, my dearest legend i miss you..
Thank you Chester for helping me through my drug withdraws, with his music I lived to see another day, words can't describe how physically and emotionally painful drug withdrawal and addiction can be but because of him I'm still here. So thank you
I had an out of body experience in Amsterdam in 2002. I basically OD’d and watched all play out. When I came back, this song was echoing through the brick streets
GOD USED THIS GREAT SOUL TO SAVE THE MILLIONS HE SAVED THROU MUSIC...he understood the assignment and did his job. He now rest in peace beside gods glory
R.I.P my angel. 💔 youve helped me through depression through all my teenage years, knowing someone else was going through the same feelings of anger and depression really helped me to deal.. but now you left.
I listen to this over and over. It explains my depression issues perfectlt. I feel so bad for Chester. This song has helped me knowing others feel the same and im not crazy. I feel like the only people that understand the debth of it are gone,took their own lives. My depression and PTSD started when i was a child,ive lived my whole life self medicating snd or prescribed medication.Im on the hightest level of medication now my Dr can perscibe. Managing life every single day is so hard,even with the meds they only do so much. My next step would be to admit myself into a mental hospital for treatment. Im not going there,i will fight this shit. If you are going thru this and feel like you dont want to be here anymore or crawl into a corner until you die, FIND SOMEONE TO TALK TO!!!!! You have to do it.Dont give in. Make yourself get up,suit up and do something every day. Its fucking hard but your life is worth the fight.
I know exactly what you are going through. Chester’s songs hit me so hard because he explains how I feel. I also survived childhood sexual abuse like Chester and I’m a a survivor! I just wish Chester could have saved himself like he saved us ☹️
Linkin Park, I don't even know where to start. Such good music that I have listen to for years. They have evolved into better people, and better musicians. Chester has passed to soon but he will arise again. IN OUR HEARTS! R.I.P. Chester Bennington! 1976-2017
Some songs might be from how he felt but some he wrote for us. He did everything to help himself and us.. he worried about us more and that's all he wanted.. for all of us to be safe and happy. That's why linkin park is the greatest.. they even stopped their own concerts to help fallen guest... these lyrics are for us to understand that we are not alone
I can’t find another song that depicts exactly how I felt as a child and keep feeling everyday as an adult. It doesn’t matter how successful I am.. how I look.. what I do for my family.. it’s just consuming everyday
