Pushing Me Away - Linkin Park (Hybrid Theory) 

HUGE part of my teenage years....still here a fan... 18 years later, I will forever be thankful for this

Your parents are idiots then. Sorry to say.

I saw one comment, depression will quit when you start enjoying it... Not true tho, but life sucks and that is fact.

This and the first Papa Roach album, pure gold. Made one feel good.

Same, 16 years ago though

it's about getting so affected by expactations of people that we become a seperate person just to please people becoming someone they would like and forgetting who we are i.e "Living in a Lie"

Helped me to get thought severe family troubles in my 13-14.

If that's what you think you're just a casual.

Every second of every day ❤

Meteora was the greatest album by Linkin Park though.

@aaronaranjo4733 It definitely wasn't. To me, Meteora is like Hybrid Theory B-sides. It's more of the same, and it holds it's own, but I almost never listen to Meteora when I can just listen to the better version of it, which is Hybrid Theory. You're entitled to your opinion ofc.

@@ripped_till_i_die No, it's definitely Master of Puppers

I think it's the greatest album of our generation.

@@brandontennyson5732 amen to that bro

@@cameronmuise14 Nah

@@cameronmuise14 nah. Living things and One More Light are great albums too. Minutes to Midnight and Hunting Party got a few great tracks as well

Linkin Park + Linkin Park = W I T H O U T C O M P A R I S O N

Agree. One more light = T R A S H

Reanimation would like to know your location.

Darkkyful 😞

Darkkyful que dios lo bendiga mucho

Moon lo siento chaparrita si quieres te mando un enorme abrazo disculpa mi atrevimiento

Absolutely.

Facts

My all time top 1 as well. The perfect duality of melancholy and power. The emotional orchestra of sorrow, nostalgia, grief, resentment and anger. The matching pairs of The lead guitar distorted harmonics + Chesters chorus with just the right amount of distortion and The peaceful and beautiful guitar harmonics + Chester's melodic clear verse. This song just touches me so deeply.

I covered it at a concert one night. The release of adrenaline and all things in between was intense... The best night ever!

This song followed by Forgotten are the best things they've ever done.

I got you brother...LP for life..😊 2024

Yesssssss!❤

Based

Estamos aqui firme e forte

2024 and always

Well said

Yeahh 🤟🏻

Damn!!!

👏👏👏

Mes que un club 👌🏾

Joe Norks s nice words bro. Hurts so much hes gone

Ironic...

thats because they sent a hitman after him. not kidding.

my exact thoughts!

His words always touched me back in the day, here I am, 20 years later, still feeling his words....pain,he was in pain his whole life, my whole life has been pain. Give it to me, I need to feel.

This is nu metal and it's ABSA FUCKIN LOUTLY AWESOME!!!1 I love chester and all of Linkin Park. The best band I've ever had the pleasure of hearing (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠❤

Numetal kicks ass. There were posers who said numetal was a fad but that's ignorance and they said the same about grunge. LP were pioneers and that's an honorable title to have. They combined 2 beloved genres plus with the synth, of anything they were nutechmetal.

Nothing wrong with nu metal

I agree with you!

Me too really helps when life is kicking your ass on every aspect

Very true

Well said 🎃

+Ben Wainwright (Zaitei) I was 1yo xd I remember my uncle playing it when I was a kid, I love this album

I was in high school, I must be old as fuck...

+Starving Rtist I was a senior in high school. It's scary to see people saying they were 1 and 5

I was born in the same year than this album !

We here for Chester brother🤝🏾

Opa 2024 essa música sem palavras.

Yesssiirrrrr

Yeah bro

I'm here always 2027 2040 even

Same!

X2.🤘😎

This is WHY I NEVER WALKED AWAY!

I was listening to this as a 15 year old on dialysis. I'm now 33. They kept me going. RIP Chester.

I now

I'm 41 now. Was 20 when I first heard of LP Still remember where ,when and with who

you said it man

xXSpiKeXx24553 it's not a single

The entire album start to finish*

See this comment under every single song that's not at their top ten or sth. I mean srsly, I'm with you that so many songs would deserve as much recognition for sure, but it's kinda pointless.

The remix was even better imo.

Indeed

NEVER!!!

Except in the end

@@xz3ssIn the End is still a banger wdym

@@evan9811 yes, it is it’s just overplayed

i'm here!

Been listening to them from the start. I'll stop when they carry me out in a box and even then i want LP blasting at my funeral.

Let’s keep Chester’s legacy burning bright.

🙌 here

Me 🤘

He's not gone and he never will be. Through his voice, he'll live forever.

​@FilthyCasual268 agreed, gone, but not forgotten

We should replace years BC and AC with BHT and AHT

I would just cease to exist after that

No you're not❤

It is perfect. Somehow i realized that Pushing Me Away as something memorable and grateful.

All Linkin Park albums has a beautiful ending

Before this album I had no idea I could actually love EVERY song on an album.

Because Lp is perfect 👌🔥

@@alejandroortega822 i mean the messanger sucks, but aside from that yeah

Just ignored them they dont know true music they probably listen to stupid hip hop or rap

Me too, they were there when no one was

Hahaha

those people are missing out

You aren't stuck at all, lp is still successful nowadays

Nothing but hear boy!!!!

Agree!! 🔥🔥👌🏼

If you didn't know that: Hybrid Theory is the best selling album of the year 2001 AND the full decade (2000-2009)!

Ok

@@cheetahmen1310coollll

Tommy, your post cames from the middle of my soul. Over one week ago, that's he's leaving us, but the pain about that, feels like one hour. It's so unbelievable. Few minutes ago, i heard some tributes to him, heard some duetts with other artists and my heart starts bleeding much more. Feels like a terrible blockbuster!! So much great singers, they're touching me so fucking deep in my heart'n my soul, gone cryin'-crawlin my pain, my aggression, my hate out'n away from me, dies in a fuckin' decade. So much of the best voices, i ever heard, leavin' us in the last ten years. Hope the reaper now stops his "Voice-Collegting-Death-March"!! 20. Juli 2017, Palos Verdes Estates,, the world starts cry again. Finallly: Sorry for my horrible english. Ich denke, mein Deutsch wäre wahrscheinlich um Welten besser, but, fuck off... Last english lesson was thirty years ago, i think.... What the hell...., it's all heavy...everywhere....strangely enough.... Keep on rockin' 🤘🎸🤘

Me again 😉 This was my angered uproar, angered anger, my violence, and my deep, emotional turmoil, which had nothing to do with a phantasy. All this was his voice for me. This voice, these songs, which were so intense, helped me at that time to ground me so that I was hardly any more violent, and for the most part alone, my deep-seated. My. To actually rotate life by 180 °. His aggression during singing has so often prompted tears, tears, which were actually my anger and anger. He gave me my lost tears, which would otherwise have landed again as a fist in a face ..... He taught me to feel again. Chester, even if you were, for the most part, miles away from me, in your songs, you are so close to me as hardly a man before. As before, but different. THANK YOU FOR ALL MY FRIEND ........ RIP ....... WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU ...... (Hopefully you are finally at your destination, you have arrived at your "Tomorrowland"!) We will one day and weirdly see again.

I was never a big fan of LP and purchased only 1 cassette of Reanimation and never went to their concert but their music has too much emotional connection to me, especially the first 2 albums. I never thought I would cry over a celebrity's death but I got tears hearing Chester's news.

Tommy Kim ...please stop... Its too much .....Fuck!!!!

:(

Thanks but nobody needs a recap. We can listen.

+YoloMcSwagson Ayy lmao Maybe foreign people like me ;)

EPIC

@Pal Stewie songs like don't stay place for my head pushing me away forgotten lying from you and from the inside heck even one of their very lesser known songs that i can't name right now was a great banger i remember....some of their hits are underrated like the catalyst lost in the echo leave out all the rest and shadow of the day...they have so many hits...

To me personally their non-mainstream songs were always the best songs. They are more intimate songs, songs that speaks more to our hearts.

This song followed by Forgotten are their very best for me.

LP all night tonight. RIP Chester. Fly high

Same here ; (

Same. Hearing his voice right now...especially in this song for some reason...is so heartbreaking.

I was an university student when this album out n I heard it every day

I dont understand because I dont know English but you are right

i cried the first time i heard numb I never knew such relatable songs exist. Linkin Park Forever.

Same bro. Papercut had me shook the first time I heard it

I started listening to them when I was 12 as well now I'm 21 and still here

Cute

Welcome aboard, Rookie.

Im 26 rn and i started to listen LP since 13 too. Welcome on board dude

I was 9 and watching danny phantom amvs😄 now I'm 23

Agreed

gaaraanime5 year !

gaaraanime5 until another musician you like dies. Its always the same

Yeah it's amazing

gaaraanime5 Same my friend.

JustMichaThings 1987 that's a pretty dark outlook, if I am interpreting what you're saying correctly of course.

Powerless :D

+Dayz 3O6 The Messenger isn't about lost love. Chester wrote it for his kids.

+Fragonborn Entertainment ATS was the hardest one I can only see The Messenger was the closest one.

Dmitry Kukharenko Most of their song have this universal meaning I remember Mike saying one song remind him of this, while to Chester it is something else. Yeah numb is not really but it is close especially with its melody, think of numb this way, it is your love one trying to mold you into what they always wanted.

+Dayz 3O6 Chester was bullied growing up, and most of his songs sound like his depression. Why he never walked away from the bullies and still tried to get liked, they just pushed him away and bullied him more. "I'm tired of being what you want me to be" is saying that the bullies want him to be normal "Be more like me and be less like you" but he wants to be himself. He's become so numb from depression. I know about this stuff from experience.

Love to you friend! ♥♥

It helps me get threw my dark battles.

K O I'm really glad to see that you're way better now. Keep listening to Linkin Park and take care of yourself.

Harshit Dhingle Same here. I feel guilty for the same reason.

I'm now in suicidial teen times. Feels bad man... But I shouldn't explain stuff to you...

Yes best song

Daniel Lopez Hernandez Amen Brother..😢

I miss him so bad!

Not just teenagers. He helped adults and teenagers alike. Many adult's were depressed, and Still are, during the reign of Linkin Park. Chesters voice was a light in the dark for a lot of people. Not just teenagers.

So true dude

including me

Yeah seriously his lyrics put emotions I felt growing up into perspective and really nuanced the expression through song. Truly amazing artist.

Right

So true.

And one of the best

Every word that chester sings there is a lot of meaning

thank you.

Thxs for the lyrics

Sorry man...sounds like a relationship gone bad. Hang in there

me too

And now hits me hard. It happens truly in my life, right now.

Me too. I don't know if this is ache of anger or sadness... :(

@@Jaguartmb Uh that's not the point of the song it's about getting so affected by expactations of people that we become a seperate person just to please people becoming someone they would like and forgetting who we are i.e "Living in a Lie"

Hiding not hinding

I think it's frown not from

TheBaioken yes u right

"I've Lied To You" not "I've Lie To You"

Love Linkin Park Chester helped me a lot in my teen years

Started when I was 14 too. Heard What I've Done on TV and decided to look it up and then found the rest of their music. I'm almost 23 now. Maybe not as much of a long time fan as others but it doesnt matter. They were a part of my life for such a long time and idk where I would be otherwise.

he never left us he's been here all along in our hearts

I was 13 when I got into lp it helped me allot with depression

The moment I heard the bad news on the radio (and I rarely turn it on since 2014-'15, so I suppose it was one of the many awkward "coincidences" that happen to me) about "a huge rock singer who died yesterday" I knew it was either him or Amy Lee. Still, it hit like a truck and felt, like death usually seems when you lose someone you've come to care about, like a bad joke, so unbelievable. For a few hours I really thought there must be some way that the internet was trolling hard for some reason, even though that guy on the radio had made it clear that wasn't the case. At least the world will always have songs made by someone who cared, hurt and even died because of that (well, most likely, since life can easily drive you crazy when it seems to hate you, especially when something is supposedly wrong with the chemistry of your brain, I guess), which can save others by easing the pain a little and showing them that we all have to share the load (through art, too) and try to be positive, even if we truly are lonely, depressed, unlucky, unloved, and so on. Hopefully, some day we'll learn... though I don't see that many ppl becoming better parents, for a start. Simply because we've been too selfish and invested in the wrong priorities for so long now, and not everyone gets that there are consequences and you *do* shape the world by how you choose to see it, how certain ppl have brainwashed you (from parents to society in general), and how you yourself brainwash or treat others (and yourself, actually). For example, so many complain but they put so much pressure on others, or say the stupidest things like it doesn't matter at all, although sometimes they create a very real wrong impression by doing so. But hey, at least more and more realize the basics lately and they only get sicker of all the hate and stupid games, so, you never know. Can't know if he'd agree with me on anything but I'm sure we all find at least one way to let artists like him make us better humans. Maybe I tend to overthink a little and I wrote partially irrelevant things again :p Whatever, I've always thought that understanding and respecting everyone/everything and learning to care the right way is the most important thing in life, and this guy seemed to get a lot of ppl and what they're going through, so I hope it makes sense that I decided to mention these. I'm quite sleepy atm so I'm just gonna post the thing without editing/removing anything :s p.s. This song has always been among my faves, it was one of the first 2-3 I listened to last year. Btw, it'll be an infinitely awkward musical experience to listen to new material by LP, but nowadays I'm not so firm on my initial opinion ...thought they should stop making music under that name, but now I'd say it wouldn't make much of a difference to only change their name... they don't need me to tell them this, but they only need to respect his memory and maybe use some old vocals of his for some sad songs. It could be so sweet.

We all miss him😢

Wtf you mean ! Why you hating

I am a cristian and i love Linkin Park with all my heart and miss Chester so so much. They sang about pain, about love, forgiveness, misunderstanding and insecurity, about so many feelings that every person has felt... I trully believe they are gifted by God and could touch every corner of my heart with music and words... I am so thankful this music exists and has always been with me

really pleasant exp

@@mydecember8544 I'm not religious, but seeing that a religious person such as yourself love linkin park as much as you do hits hard for me and I love that there are religious people that don't see linkin park as some devil band just because it's rock music and I thank you so so much for your comment of love and that linkin park has a place in your heart ❤❤

Um....exuse me. Are you me? Cause U just decribed my fuckin parents perfectly! and how I had 2 hide around CDs like this, korn, limp bizcut 50 cent ect ect....and how you to felt the that "obsorbeing" feeling playing this song. Also had to hide it and play it late at night with out mom hearing cause the exact same reasones you gave. I stole the cd from my public library the summer it dropped cause I hurd papercut on my local rock radio station. I was 14. That cd didnt leave my cd player for months. I replayed this track and runaway evry single day until meteroa came out. I really had and still have the same feelings you had. I'm really glad that some one had the similar expierence with this specific track.

BontgomoryMurns Because there are emotions in this song

To me the beginning on the guitar part

For me it's faint, but this and place for my head are tied in second place

I agree. I mean, Hybrid Theory is a masterpiece back to front in my opinion. But there is, as you said, just something special about the track. It's definitely in my top 10 of LP songs.

It's the opening riff. I don't know but it throws me back. Same with Cumulus.
