Robot Boy - Linkin Park (A Thousands Suns) 

This might sound stupid or extremely cringy, but when I filled out the form regarding my funeral proceedings in case I got killed in Afghanistan, I wrote in this song as the one I wanted to be played at my funeral. That was 10 years ago. I can't relate much to this song's melancholy and sadness anymore, but I still love it. It'll always serve as a reminder of who I was and the weight I've had to bear to become the person I am now.

Took me five years to fully understand where this album stands as far as epicness. So underrated.

You say you're not gonna fight 'Cause no one would fight for you And you think there's not enough love And no one to give it to And you're sure you've hurt for so long You've got nothing left to lose So you say you're not gonna fight 'Cause no one would fight for you You say the weight of the world Has kept you from letting go And you think compassion's a flaw And you'll never let it show And you're sure you hurt in a way That no one will ever know But someday the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go Hold on, the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go So hold on, the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go So hold on, the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go Just hold on, the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go

The whole album is criminally underrated but this song stands alone. This is art in its purest form

Hold on, the weight of the world will give you the strength to go. We love you, Chester.

2:56 - 3:27 This part is so beautiful, I can't put it in words.

I feel like people are starting to forget about Linkin Park and Chester. They tell me to move on, that Chester and LP are dead. And yet, they were the ones who said, "Rip Chester. Gone but not forgotten." I can never move on. I don't understand why Linkin Park is not popular. I know it's not all about popularity, but look at all the hard work Linkin Park put out. And now that Chester is gone, the crowd is just dispersing. And when Mike starts to sing by himself, people just say, "Poor Mike" but nothing else. I swear on my life, I will NEVER become one of those people. I will NEVER forget Chester, NEVER stop listening to Linkin Park, NEVER stop listening to Mike's new songs. I will forever be with Linkin Park. We're family, and families stick together.

Along with The Little Things That Give You Away, I truly feel like these songs get overlooked. Their both powerful with their lyrics and mellow rhythm. Linkin Park made beautiful ballads with such meaningful lyrics. Robot Boy is one of my top favorite songs from them.

this is not just only a song this is pure art..

Only Linkin Park can make songs like this.

“You say, you’re not going to fight, because no one will fight for you” hit me in the feels

Omg that scream/call at 3:15... like if he is going straight to heaven and honestly happy 🥺😢😭

These lines are extremely deep and powerful... *And you're sure you hurt in a way* *That no one will ever know* *But someday the weight of the world* *Will give you the strength to go* Thank you Chester, thank you so much...

Extremely underrated. It's a shame that they don't play it live...

those are some strong lyrics

i luv when chester starts screaming

Wish you could've held on, robot boy. RIP Chester :'(

I don't know... I really love this song... everytime I hear it I feel relief and rage at the same time... and It's like I can fly through layer of wall like superman and see the distance of thousand miles. It just give me a great amountof focus.

Never heard anything more beautiful than this ...

One of the most underrated Linkin Park songs. This is my favorite.

Songs like this prove why Linkin Park is such a great band. LP forever.

Man, A Thousand Suns is easily the best Linkin Park album. I can see why people prefer Hybrid Theory, but Jesus Christ there's so much interesting stuff going on in this record

Honestly this was jus to head of its time. If it came out this year, people would love it

Whole album is an absolute masterpiece

Who cried when they started the song at Chester's honor concert ? Me.

Most underrated masterpiece ever.. The music, melody, lyrics are so so great

Unbelievable song... Truly remarkable. LP is criminally underrated and under appreciated in my opinion, mainstream success aside, honestly I think that they’re one of the most versatile, talented and accomplished bands of this generation by far. RIP Chester, beyond grateful for your art and influence. 🙏🏻❤️

Went through a hard break up a while ago. Was trying hard to keep myself together then this song came on while driving one day and made me lose it (in a good way) to the point I pulled over in a parking lot. I listened to this song probably 20 times in the car that day , the lyrics are just so damn powerful. I felt so much better after, I will always love Linkin Park 😭

A thousand suns and living things are masterpieces. I obviously love Meteora and Hybrid Theory but I'm really glad they just did what they felt like musically and went with the flow, experimenting with styles and moods. Never understood the initial backlash they got, some real gems on these albums

When the world events are so absurd and full of chaos, I listen introspectively repeat this song alone. It gives me a sense and a reason to live this unreasonable life we hold dear.

I'm a huge fan of Linkin Parks first two albums, and I tend to love their heavier sound more than the softer stuff. But I have to say, this song hits me man. I honestly have so much respect for the band and all of it's members, and I really wish Chester was still with us. I'm definitely going to check out their later albums and give it a lot more of an open mind. This song is beautiful.

Когда я первый раз услышала эту мелодию,то чуть не сошла с ума.Мне-53 и я обожаю эту песню!

I can't believe you are gone...This is one of my personal favorites. One of so many wonderful songs that helped get me through this life. Thank you for that, RIP Chester. 💔😢

This song is something else, R.I.P. Chester, we miss you.

God I love this album so much.

This song... yesterday, today and for always.

Rest in peace, dear Chester. Your music meant so much to me, and introduced me to more love for various kinds of Metal music. Not a day goes by I don't play one of my favorite Linkin Park songs. ❤️

I almost let go in the middle of 2020.. This song saved my life. I just hoped it did the same for others. I still struggle, but I’m trying. When I was 12 I started cutting myself pretty bad. 13 years old, and I’ve been 2 weeks without cutting myself ❤️

This album is on another level

From about 3:07 when Chester starts singing in the background... OMG I love it, total goosebumps

This is such a beautiful song. Thousand suns album sounds deeply touch my heart in a strange way. One of best albums. RIP Chester, We will never forget you.

After All These Years, I Still Find The Climax Of This Song As 1 Of Chester's Most Powerful Show Of Emotion On Any Song The Group Put Out There. He Truly Was An Artist.

Chester's voice will always send shivers down mine spine when I listen to this. May he rest in peace✌️😓

The first song I came to when I heard about Chester. Rest in peace. If it weren't for you, I would have been long gone...

12 years of listening to this piece of art!! ♥️🙌

This song is pure Motivation 💖

I've been crying all day, why Chester?! RIP

Such a beautiful yet underrated song.

Still listening 💙🌱💙 Still feeling everything

This song inspires me to write my novel :)

Thank you Linkin Park, for all that you did for so many generations. RIP Chester. Every year for the rest ofmy life I will shed some tears, in remembrance of you. You left the world a better place, for a lot of people.

the most underrated song... that has the most important msg for the future

This is a *SYMPHONY* of greatness. A composition of timeless genius. Glorious.

Listening To This OTW Home From Work.. Looking Out The Bus Windows, Sky Turning Into Night Is Such A Vibe ❤️ Though I Listen To The Full Album This Song Specifically Just Stands Out, The Intro Alone, The Harmonies, Lyrics & Melody It's Just Beautiful!

A lot of people hate A Thousand Suns, I like it though. Minutes to Midnight is probably my favorite album out of all of them

0:00-4:29 is such a good section of this phenomenal work of art created by this band. i’m so confused why chester decided to leave us despite his passionate fans and loving family. this overlooked song will ever be one of my favorites, plus im a keyboard player so theres a bit of bias in there. the lyrics of this song are so deep and scream “motivation” this truly makes me think how many people this band saved from depression

Theme song of my life! 😩💪🏾🙏🏽❤️🏆

I simply love this album start to finish, but then again I'm a huge prog fan so there you go

This song helps me alleviate the fact that Chester is not with us anymore. Love you and your music. Rest In Peace Chester!

I used to listen to Linkin Park alot as a child but as I grow up and revisit these albums, listening to each and every song, I realise that their lyrics carry so much emotion and meaning and power. Meanings that bands these days struggle to find. Really helps me cope with a lot of problems. Thank you, Linkin Park.

One of the most underrated linkin park songs

This song just tears me the f up😭 2:56 till the end is hard af for me... i frikken miss this man ... i've never met him , never been to a concert but it still feels like i lost a brother.

Someday, the weight of the world, will give you the strength to go. Farewell, Chester.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY "A THOUSAND SUNS"! Today, September 14, five years of the album, which for many has become a favorite in the discography of Linkin Park. Including for members of Linkin Park. Take a look at the photos in the album.

"Someday the weight of the world will give you the strenght to go" Soo Positive Motivation,, Thank you LP ♥♥♥♥

Dude, this album was released 5 years ago. Time is flying! (but LP is still no 1 ;))

When I finally discovered this song I thought how could I possible have missed it this song is AMAZING and Perfection

I had tears in my eyes while listening to it........... nothing more to say

One of my fave songs on the album. I've been an LP fan since the beginning and they just keep getting better.

Heartbreaking we never got to hear this live ❤ Perfect song

I would easily say this is one of the best songs in the whole Linkin Park discography. It really does feel like pure art, and the lyrics are amazing. It's funny to me how a lot of people complained that they stopped with the nu metal, rap rock and loud guitars, and I, couldn't be more thankful they did. If they kept doing Hybrid Theory and Meteora all over again forever, we could never get this masterpiece of an album, which happened to be their best one. (If not, still 100% my favorite) That's what musicians should do. Evolve. And Mike and Chester were proud of evolve, of proving Linkin Park could trascend in their sound and songwriting. Thanks, guys. Thanks for this masterpiece.

Wow this song just got sadder..

THIS SONG HELPS ME UNDERSTAND LIFE AND GET THROUGH IT THROUGH THE PASSING OF TIME. ❤️🔥👍💯

Get me in tears everytime listening to this song. Thinking about how Chester was struggling inside. 💔

I LITERALLY HAVE NO WORDS! I'M SPEECHLESS FOR THIS SONG!

This is my favorite LP’s song. The last part when Chester screamed in the background and singed like an angel at the same time always get me chilled. A real masterpiece.

This entire album is like one long experience. Definitely some of their best.

this album is one of those pieces that will be finally noticed far after the artist's death, ahead of its time

This album has so many songs about the toughest parts of being a person. Love it

This album is my personal favorite of theirs.Every song is epic.

Man...this song. Ever since i heard it, i fell in love with it. The emotions it makes me feel; the roller-coaster between hope and hopelessness, joy and sorrow... Few songs and artists can describe my actual thoughts and actually make me feel...this. Whatever these feelings are. Its so true. I have always thought that theres no reason to fight. For, who would fight for me? There is love but no one to give it to. The hurt has been for so long, it seems no one can know... Only the the weight of the weight has kept me from letting go. Loneliness in a nutshell.

People needed a lot of time to appreciate this album, I swear, I loved it from the first song that was released... And so it was with every album from HT 'till the last one...

Rest in peace, Chester.

What an amazing energy! Chester, you are a history. ☄️

This is my second favorite Linkin Park album (first is The Hunting Party), and I still can not believe how underrated is. It's full of hidden pieces of art like this one.

This song has always been my favorite, but it sounded so generic for some reason. After Chester passed away, it doesn't sound generic anymore. In fact, whatever Linkin Park did, (even the Reacharged album) now sounds good to me. Rest in peace legend, you were a great part of my childhood, every single song this band have released when you were alive, is a legacy now. It's been almost a month that you're gone, but can't get over the pain at all man. Feels like a part of me died with you. Words cannot describe how Linkin Park helped me to go through my hard times.

Most underrated song by Linkin park. The entire album is. Imo I think it's their best.

The best album they'll ever make.

El tema que suena cada vez que me llaman...tan increíblemente hermoso. Quisiera aprender a tocar el piano sólo para tocarlo. Lamento no haberlo escuchado jamás en vivo, en ningun show de LP. Los amo tanto. Besos soldados.

One of Linkin Park’s best song hands down. So underrated so is the album

I dont know why singers dont have these kinds of lyrics and if there is such of type of song its not liked by many.. Many of them just have girls sex money party etc rubbish.. im really lucky that i listen to LP, a band which cant be compared to others.. and will always do..

Who's gonna listen to this in 2024?? 👇

Songs like this deserve much more credit than they get. One of their best songs!

This song helps me cope, helps me gain hope. With Chester’s passing, I’ll definitely listen and take the advice ❤️ thank you for this remedy ❤️

I know he ain't gonna see this, but Chester helped me thru my grandfathers death and so much more. I wish we saw the hints and cries for help in his songs. I wish I could help him the way he helped so many others. It always seems to be the ones helping everyone else that need the help from us. And we never seem to figure it out until it's too late.. we love and miss you Chester!

Only the instrumental of this track would make me fall in tears. 😢 So with the lyrics, no need to tell how I feel listening to this beautiful masterpiece.

That's some depressing shit, the song is even called robot boy. HEAVY.

Some shivers when I am listening to this track, lyrics and melody are so beautiful. Throw me back to 2010. This album is just a masterpiece despite it is underrated.

This song means so much to me

Je crois que définitivement c'est ma chanson préférée de Linkin Park... Elle est issue d'un de leurs derniers albums... Chester était un puit de talent... Malgré les années qui passaient ils ne se répétaient pas... Des génies!!!!!!! Suis profondément triste qu'il soit parti... Leur musique est source d'émotions pour moi et pas des moindres...
