Linkin Park "Heavy" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified 

"you know what, i'm not fine.." -Chester.. RIP Chester Bennington

At 0:55 How you guys doing? And he was like "I am fine" Then after a few minutes, he goes "you know what, no I am not fine, let me tell you what's going on in my life" 😢😢 makes me so sad

"If I just let go, I'll be set free".. r.i.p Chester 😪

1:35 The fact that mike cheers chester up while singing is just so wholesome and sad at the same time. Damn.

Rip Chester😢🙏🙏 you can see Mike looking at him worried earlier in the video when he explains his lyrics

Just hear Chester's voice without any instruments or music is amazing

I think that at this point, we all know what the lyrics were about...

The band that never sticks with one genre, they touched everything! If you think otherwise, you don't know them or really stupid to recognize the pattern.

He sings along to the lyrics... no hate on anyone else, but this is how it should be. Shows that the artist really cares about their song, owning it.

His voice is so amazing

I can't even watch this without thinking of his death. FUCK. JUST FUCK. RIP CHESTER WISH YOU COULD COME BACK

I’m a very sensitive person, but when I look at Chester , I feel sooo sad for him that it literally breaks my heart. He struggled so much.

R.I.p. hero I love you

"This is what that shit means to me"

this song was really meaningful to him, it was him expressing his inner demons and trying to fight his depression "holding on why is everything so heavy" - RIP Chester Bennington

this is fucking heartbreaking

he truly wasn't ok 😔

I love how he sings about real issues like ego

04:19 So Mike was the one kept spinning around Chester all the time! He seemed quite embarrassed after Chester pointing direclty towards him :D His reaction is so cute. I can't even imagine how he must feel right now. It's 11 weeks now and it still hurts so fucking much :(

now everytime i hear this song it sounds like chester literally screaming from his suffer. rip chester :(

Fuck haters,Heavy is amazing,just like all LP songs.They can't make a bad song.

when I hear them break it down like this and really focus on the lyrics I can't understand the people who say they "sold out" or aren't the true Linkin Park anymore! these are their words, their world-view, their artistic reflection on shit. it's so good and it is so them!

Chester I'm sorry that your cries for help weren't heard the way they were supposed to

'"Comfort in the panic'" and ''you could addicted to certain kinds of sadness" basically describes my life.

1:00 you know what, no i'm not fine :( R.I.P Chester Bennington

Chester is one of those singers that whether you listen to his vocals with or without the additional sound effects, they still sound amazing.

Even after he interpet his own lyrics, we're too blind to see :'(

No difference between the studio version.

Am I the only one who really likes that song

The way how Mike looks at chester!!😢💔❤

They are so different from their older shit. But it's cool tho.

Sad news... RIP to a legend🙏🏽

Love how fans that come to Genius videos are much more reasonable and don't just post the comment full of hatred

Just wanna hug Chester so much😔

Here’s a perfect example of Chester showing the world that he is struggling but covers it with a laugh or a joke... so most people that weren’t so close to him brushed it off... RIP Chester, it almost marks 2yrs.... we all still love you 😔❤️

wow this is really hard to watch. these lyrics definitely depict what depression, addiction, and basically battling your demons is about.. i got chills when Chester explains about these "patterns of thinking" and how he goes back these thoughts or actions. His battle with suicide and depression mustve been so difficult. RIP chester

When chester was explaining you can see a hint of worry in Mike’s eyes. 😭 I miss you chaz.

I think that this song, specially the phrase that Mike mentions is so on point. They literally found a way to explain the unexplainable. love you guy's, and love your music, Btw your concert in Chile was amazing !!!❤

Still a great band with great music

likin park is my favorite rock band

They're hitting 40 and they look really good.

Every lyric to this song speaks to me. I LOVE this song. It speaks to me abut my anxiety. It's a "heavy" burden. "Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary" = Making a problem when there is none. With mind racing. " I wanna let go but there is comfort in the panic". = I hate this feeling of panic but it's familiar and I believe it keeps me safe. "And I drive myself crazy thinking everything's about me" - It is about ego but in the sense that when you walk into a room you think everyone is talking about you. rumors, things they don't like about you, saying negative things. I could get into every single lyric but that would be so long. Sorry so long already I just had to get this out. This is only MY interpretation of the song of course. Every fan interprets lyrics and relates in a different way.

I hope that if thy continue, they never play this song live again, not because I hate it but because this is Chester's song, no one else can sing it.

i'm crying

I’m always depressed and I never feel real emotion anymore. But I struggle not to cry watching him...

1:34 😆... I just still miss this guy! 🕊️🙏🏻

Damn, it's weird watching this after his death, man. R. I. P beautiful person

Even though I grew up with Linkin Park and listened to them on a daily basis during high school, I kind of "forgot" about the band as I grew up. I would only listen to their music when feeling nostalgic or if I felt like crap. Then I came across this video where college kids reacted to Linkin Park and their video Heavy. That's when something clicked and I really needed to listen to the new album, but for some reason I didn't. Then I heard of Chester's passing and that hit me. I instantly went to listen to One More Light and there isn't one song that I don't like. It's much more my taste now than HT/Meteora was back then, but then again... That's almost 2 decades ago for me. I don't get why people bashed their new album while it's one of their best albums. Sure, much softer than their previous ones, but still... Well... /End of rant I guess. RIP Chester!

Man you can see how much Mike absolutely loved and appreciated Chester. RIP. Thank you for staying strong Mike❤

I understood every word in "Heavy" from the first time I heard it. I've fought these feelings all my life. "Comfort in the panic" was something that took me a long time to overcome. Like they said, even if something is negative, because it is familiar ,it brings some comfort when you are so lost inside your head ... Chester's taking his own life broke my heart, because I've been there too much of my adult life, but got better.

miss him💔

Its like science! -Mike Shinoda, 2017

Mike looked a bit concerned in part of the video. R.I.P Chester

You can see the sadness Mike feels for Chester and his always there trying to cheer him up

anyone noticed the silver nail Polish? 😂 I can't be the only one who likes it

The way mike looks at him breaks my heart.. rip Chester

I understand Chester so well on this topic! Its what it means to me as well! 🙏☝

Rest in peace, chester!

impressed by his singing voice, i thought the song was autotuned

I can't even imagine Mike's pain, this hurts my heart and he was his brother. :(

Phewwww boy when Chester hits those high notes 📝 🎶 👌

01:03 are they talking about chesters depression? wow

I came here after Chester died :''( Watching all the videos he made with famous youtubers make me cry because realising hes really gone is just so sad.

Chester may Rest In Peace, Chester shall always be remembered as the hero he was.

I know bands do this all the time but you can not replace Chester. Him and his amazing song writing cannot be compared to. I think this is the end of the band but a final tour is a must. Maybe you just have a playback for chester's parts and Mike can hype the crowd up. DO NOT insult this man for committing his act. If you have ever experienced this before you know it is very difficult and suicide is never planned. It is a split decision someone makes in a reaction to a stressed mind. I love you Chester

It's 2020 and I'm still crying about him.

People who hates this song never realized the true meaning of this song until Chester died. Such a shame haters.

We miss you soooooo much Chester. Rest easy you are extremely loved 💕

Omg. I love them. And This song is actually pretty amazing and as they say it has that familiar feeling it's just that style is unfamiliar to us and that's why many people say Linkin Park shouldn't have these types of songs. But of course as I said I like this song and I fully support them making more of these types of songs.

Linkin Park is the GOAT 🙌

2:51 “like Crawling”... there it is again

The voice is amazing. Didn't know this song is so meaningful

Still sounds beautiful without auto tune ❤️🤘🏼❤️ RIP CHESTER ❤️1976-2017❤️

Can't wait for this album

I could hear them talk and sing all day.All day.

Chesters little smile & giggle is priceless

You say goodbye over and over and over again

RIP Chester.....we'll miss you so so so much😖, we're all praying for you.

all their songs has a meaning and i love that

Wow, he seemed such a happy cheerful person. And 2 months after this video was made we lost Chester forever. The amazing thing about him was that he could save anyone no matter what l, he just couldn’t save himself. “If I just let go I’d be set free.” Sleep well Chester.

i love them

Watching this in 2019 makes me cry every time

"If I could just let go, I'd be set free,". You're free now, Chester R.I.P.

Heart breaking beautiful God I miss Chester!

R.I.P Chester...

chester has such a beautiful voice

Miss him.

That gorgeous voice

I miss Chester I wish I could've seen them live

"This is like science!" lol Mike Shinoda will always be one of my favorite people.

You can see the pain in chesters eyes at 00:59😭❤️🤧 R.I.P 😞

Bro oh my god i really miss chester:( rest in peace legend hope youre doing great in heaven

so unfortunate and so unfair how some of the most beautiful and most giving people on this earth are the ones who suffer the most. i don't know what happens when we die but all i hope for is that chester is in the utmost place of peace and painlessness.

This is like a really cool acapella version. Just sayin. Sometimes it literally scares me how much I love Chester's voice :D

4:30 This made me cry even harder

1:42 the feels

Rip...Chester😭

Chester had almost perfect pitch. Its relative pitch, but closer to absolute pitch, and Mike has relative pitch.

omg i just love you guys! :)

This video made me cry. I miss Chester so much. Another legend gone too soon. RIP Chester❤️
