This song was Chester's most clear cry for help. Mental torture to the point of wanting death.

[@AJs_Username]

This and leave out all the rest

[@ayushFos]

Just a little detail, this song was *mostly* written by Mike. The hook was probably by Chaz. Most of the songs that people call "cry for help" are written by Mike and Dave just like most of their stuff. But it feels so relatable to Chester after 20/07/2017 :(

[@kielwhite]

Right?

[@lerougepanda1683]

Yeah man, Chester struggled with depression for a long ass time, He also struggled with drug addiction. Yet Chester had one of the biggest hearts out there. Seems like even in 2020 people don't fully understand how emotion can be best expressed through music. I don't know for certain and I'm sure someone can correct me on this, as much as I love Linkin Park and grew up with them I never really got into the nitty gritty of his suicide or 'suicide' depending on who you ask. I feel music was a way Chester was not only making people more aware that these feelings are serious and shouldn't be ignored or frowned upon, but also a way he could just express his own feelings and dare I say maybe asking for help (maybe not).. Not only that but also giving youth and adults alike that may also be suicidal a way to connect and understand that there are many others in the world struggling as well. That they are not alone. Most of Linkin Parks songs cover pretty heavy subjects and it may not always be the most evident but there is a lot of emotion and heart put into every song. It's why they have such a strong community, it's real music.

[@ceaselessshadow4060]

It’s the honesty and the transparency of the lyrics, paired with the incredible talent and musical performance. LINKIN PARK weren’t afraid to talk about their struggles, and put them out there so that other people who were struggling could know that they weren’t alone. This band will always hold a very special place in my heart. 🖤🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@C.J.33]

As someone who cried when he died because of how much their music resonated with me and it's such a huge loss, I have to agree with everything you said. Their music got me through so much shit from the earlier years and even through now they've always had that ability to pull on those strings and make me think it's gonna be better. The hardest part, besides him being gone to some of those same struggles, is that there isn't anything new to come. There was always that looking forward mentality and it ended so abruptly. RIP Chester.

[@lacyinmon1004]

[@RLMikeSP]

LOL

[@Bea359]

I can't speak for anyone else but I love this song because when it first came out I was a depressed teenager who didn't think anyone else felt the way I did. Hearing him not only sing but SCREAM my thoughts helped me feel less alone and actually helped fight the negative feelings, because instead of trying to keep a positive mental attitude and push those feelings down it helped release that negative energy and process it a bit :) of course I didn't understand that at the time and didn't actually get diagnosed with depression until I was 29... but looking back at it Linkin Park helped me survive some tough teenage years!

[@Venusjade111]

If you hear anything, hear this. You may not feel like "giving up" but MANY of us are struggling with this feeling. This song speaks to us for many reasons. Whether it be how hard core it is, how long he can hold that note, being a Linkin Park fan, the beat, whatever. But many can relate to the lyrics. A lot. Not to mention, as everyone keeps saying, Chester took his life so this song REALLY hits a cord with that reality. Once you can truly empathize with what he and others are feeling, I have a feeling this song, and others, will be 10 times more powerful to you. This was in no way an attack. I adore you. Just feelings from one person to another.

Hey man, If you have clinical depression. "Just having that power in your head" Doesn't hold water. Not hating on your mindset, but depression isn't fixed by "just not being sad", I understand when you say "you can't get caught up in that shit" But people DO get caught up in that. It's the taboo around being depressed and the inabillity to talk about it that makes people eventually kill themselves. I've been living with depression for years, and even though I've learned to "live with it" every day is a new battle. Talking and singing and writing about these things is an outlet, and many people recognise their situation in songs lke these, helping them cope! Chester had hella demons, and they did win in the end. His suicide adds so much weight to this track and lyrics.

Chester & Linkin Park in general gave a TON of us the courage to reach out to others and admit that we have these thoughts. When people say they’re “battling demons” it’s no joke when you think about what those two words actually mean. From someone who has fought the battle since I was 7 or 8. I’m 46 now. It’s easy to say that you win the battle in your mind... it’s next to impossible to describe the raging, tearing, desperate, bleeding, screaming, climbing on broken glass on your hands and knees uphill fight, trying so hard to stay calm and focused and logical and practical... when EVERYTHING in your consciousness and body actually sound and feel like that 17-second scream. Chester fought with everything he had. For some, the effort of fighting sucks the life out of us and we die inside... many then take their actual lives. Like Chester did. His death still tears at my soul, but I’m grateful to the band and Chester in particular for giving us a musical legacy that helps so many of us to keep fighting. Chester couldn’t keep fighting. I understand & I don’t fault him for it. He said in an interview once that his mind is a bad neighborhood and he shouldn’t go in there alone. Unfortunately he got lost and died in that neighborhood. Life trapped in a haunted house of a mind is nearly impossible to explain to someone who hasn’t battled depression, panic disorder, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and so many more and for a lot of people, addiction... is actually like. You’re being water boarded half the time by your own brain chemistry and when it lets up, you can’t let your guard down because you know it’s coming back. Chester lived it. Chester wrote it. Chester sang it. Chester screamed it. And in the end it killed him. I will keep fighting because I have to, for me, my kids, my whole family... and because I want to honor Chester’s memory by using the tools he helped to give me. There’s a hashtag that’s been around since he died in July 2017. I will always hold to it because he fought so hard, for so long, for us. #MakeChesterProud 🤘🏻😢🖤

Chester never gave up. The songs that he made were for him and for people to stay positive in every situation.
