Therapist analyzes In The End by Linkin Park (ft. Jake Luhrs)

[@MrPeachUK]

I can't even listen to the first few notes of this song without feeling emotional these days, i miss Chester a lot.

[@jimjungle8488]

Same. That piano is sad

[@Lumberjack-drummer]

Saaaaaaame😢

[@codysullivan8252]

Ever watch the last video? Feel blessed if you can’t see it in his face.

[@windozxpert]

I'm with ya. I miss Chris too.. Losing both of them right after my brother caused a long grieving process. Listening to Chris' daughter sing makes me so sad but happy she absolutely blew everyone out of the water with her amazing performance and voice .

[@JamieR]

Same :( Linkin Park was my childhood anthem through and through.

[@djperses1]

God, hearing all their songs now… and knowing what happens with Chester really makes you think deeply about his lyrics. You have to wonder how much of a scream for help music was for him. Almost like he sacrificed himself to help all of us!

[@565656gooner]

We were young, I wish I actually heard the lyrics back then if you know what I mean. Would have understood Chester a lot more.

[@VoidCr0w]

​@565656gooner he understood us, and I'm eternally grateful for it. I just wish we could have returned the favor and saved him.

[@Meepie_Playz]

Some people say when Chester says “I’ve put my trust in you, pushed as far as I can go” it’s referring to his close friend who SA’d him

[@XcezMeeCowAyChick]

After my marriage broke up i have discovered that I should be better men for my next true love/partner. My life collapsed in one second and then I realized that I can be still happy and live along.

[@andreimatheus9306]

Been listening to Linkin Park over the last 2 decades. And now, i can see that most of their lyrics are about Chester struggles, past life, and all the things he went though and that leaded him to try as hard as he could but couldn't find out the Truth and Light that really can led us to the very place we belong. Anyway, great analysis!

[@christofferboberg]

You guys need to check "Linkin park - crawling (one more light live)" That song/performance has literally saved my life... And "Given up" is a must to when we talk about LP.

[@ladysphinx5908]

I agree, so did Numb and Runaway too

[@wilcohoutman2352]

Years ago when I lost my then girlfriend from bone cancer I fell into a deep hole where I got so depressed that I didn't even wanted too stay on this earth. But when I started too listen too bands like Linkin Park and Nightwish their music was sooo powerful that they just pulled out of the hole that I was in. And I will NEVER EVER forget that. So Chester thank you so much for touching sooo many lives and telling us that there is something too live for. RIP Chester we love you and we still miss you

[@melaniejordan1199]

I'm so sorry for your loss. 💜

[@jessi.w13]

I use to listen this song on repeat when I was 13-14. I had been struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts since 11. I had yet to tell anyone. It helped me feel like I wasn’t alone.

[@rahjhulen]

I cant even listen to some music without crying my eyes out

[@nate2838]

In The End is one of the songs that has helped me get through some really dark times.

[@iesickboy]

She has so much fun and joy, and really loves what she does. That's refreshing.

[@MikeGraham-w2v]

It’s cool to see how you guys are reacting to music from a different lens and tapping into probably whole lot of us and I’m sure your movement is going to go and bring positive energy! Mad love

[@Useless-girl]

Hey there! First of all, LOVE what you're doing here. Helps me reflect on things from a different perspective (been looking back on previous videos for a while now). As a non-native English speaker while growing up on songs like this, I didn't fully realize the deeper meanings, but now that I go back to more and more songs from my early teens, with my knowledge and life experiences and your help, I see them in a different light and more meaningful. I think you know what I'm talking about. And what I'm trying to say is that you help me either validate what I've been already feeling, or pointing out what I've been missing. And this is a beautiful thing in my book and I applaude and thank you for that from the bottom of my heart! Truly! People like you guys are treasure in a world like this! All the hugs and love from Hungary for you and everyone who needs it! ❤❤❤❤

[@KarbonSym]

Another great “reaction”. I’m so used to first ever reactions and clearly you two have heard this before, but looking at it from a different more in depth perspective adds a whole other level to the reaction genre of videos. Thank you both for the time you put into this for us.

[@joshw3010]

I was listening to this album when my Mom came in to tell me one of my friends had committed suicide. It's hard to believe that it's been almost 24 years. RIP Spencer. May your memory be eternal.

[@angelaranda8899]

Linkin Park is what got me into rock music when i was in elementary school, and hybrid theory was the first album i ever bought. Linkin Park will always have a special place in my heart, and i just wish i had a chance to see them live 😢

[@carnivorecrib]

Number 8 (infinity) to like this video... thanks for your reactions, guys, you're really authentic - love it! On another note, high-expectations = high-disappointment... so, we can decide for lesser-levels of disappointment; through lowering expectations 🙏💛🙏💛🙏 all-the-while working on self-excellence... raising our own (internal) "game" in the stead of "worrying" so much about "the external". As well as Human-Doings, we're also Human-Beings... the balance/modulation between Being and Doing (doo-doo's) is on one's self - nobody else can do (or Be!) this for us (Still/Being) 🙏💛🙏

[@Jay-br9ee]

RIP Chester!

[@GERTOV90]

Video music is about end of the world we tought were in 2000 and the meaning is about not getting succes despite you give your best like Mike Shinoda felt

[@jchoj14]

Listen to this song back to back to back with Numb and What I've Done. To me, this is chapter 1 to chapters 2 and 3.

[@ladysphinx5908]

Numb was one of the songs that kept me going when I didn't have anything more to give. My therapist at the time told me that I have to do what ever I had to to keep going even if it was from one minute to the next. Instead of giving up I stayed in bed end just lay there listening to these songs on repeat until I had the strength to take the next step to keep going.

[@jefftodd6384]

It's one and done, the mind does not give second chances. The fruit always rots and never comes back. Death is Death to the Human, you are not coming back to get it right. Not a blip. A finality.

[@AdSprad]

Process vs. Single Outcome was a great wisdom nugget for me to think on

[@johnthompson6374]

Every step in a journey matters. Even when you slip and fall you learn where the slippery spot is. Peace/JT

[@RapidReactionz]

I’m not famous, but oh my would I have so much fun reacting with Taylor. Dropping a barrage of knowledge bombs! 💙

[@ladysphinx5908]

I love their music. Linkin park was the band that brought me into Nu metal and Metal core. Their song Numb was one of the songs I listened to that brought me through the darkest time in my life when I was at my lowest and on the verge of giving up. Would love to see a react video on Numb

[@Scoggie]

RIP Chester! You are missed dearly!

[@Roh_Echt]

You must react to "Given Up."

[@ekhyddan]

Yes. Live In Clarkston

[@paularlinghaus5094]

This is a mandatory listen. And it has to be the live version.

[@Sarahlouisseize]

When I was like 7 years old I remember first hearing this song and listening to the lyrics and it became my anthem til I was probably about 15 and discovering heavier bands on my own for the first time. This song will always relate to the nihilist I was back then.

[@Donbass02]

I truly like your description of people either being outcome-based or process-based. I used to be outcome-based which led me down a dark road for a long time because I kept failing to achieve my outcomes. After attempting suicide 5 times in 2016, and doing a life review in 2017, I decided to go back to school. In the fall of 2019, I started my journey in the Victim Studies bachelor's program at Sam Houston State University. In December of 2020, I graduated with that degree. In the fall of 2021, I began my journey in the Experimental Psychology master's program at Sam Houston and graduated in August 2023 with that degree. I am still in amazement of how I did a bachelor's degree and master's degree in a 3-1/2 year span. Focus and motivation were a large part of that. I am close to my outcome (goal) of getting into the FBI. My view on this journey has changed from outcome-based to process-based by looking at it this way: Things happen when they're supposed to happen, how they're supposed to happen, and in the order they're supposed to happen. Now at the age of 40, I see that the process within this journey has saved my life and I'm in a very good place mentally. I am so glad I was not successful in 2016. But I'm not done with this journey. In the words of Thomas Aquinas, "If the highest aim of a captain is to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever." This means you have to be willing to take risks in order to gain something. Thank you both for this great breakdown of the late and great Chester's "In the End."

[@ricardosaenz569]

The Nu Metal scene was amazing for finding emotionally relevant connection for each of us. Linkin Park specifically is the first band I can ever remember that gave me the feeling of shared experience. Just like you said, it felt like they were writing songs from my personal perspective; when emotional mirroring feel ubiquitous in their music its hard not to connect

[@mark_white.]

ah the 90s i almost rember them here to hope.

[@adamreilly2491]

You need to listen to “one step closer”, “breaking the habit” and “given up”

[@nickc9375]

In my experience, even harder than failing to achieve something that you've strived for is achieving that objective and only then realising that it doesn't really matter... which is how I interpret this song.

[@AdSprad]

Mountains and the Identity album are huge for me. Healing from some relationships, gaining additional perspective from when i went through a divorce.

[@Mass-produced]

I was very lost when i was a teenager. I tried to fit in and find myself. I kept having nightmares of being chased. When i finally came out to myself as a lesbian and found my music taste through LP, my nightmares stopped completely. I've gone through a lot after with anxiety, sexual assault and tired to end my life a few times. In the end, I would always find peace and hope through LP. I've come out a lot better on the other side. I owe a lot to LP.

[@deanainsworth1757]

I know this isnt the intended message of the song but to me personally when this song came out my journey from suicide to faith was playing out. The 'I tried so hard and didn't even matter' was me trying so hard to be relevant, to try hard to be something and in the end I felt nothing was going to lose it all...then the lyrics 'I put my trust in you' is my step of faith towards God and 'you wouldn't even recognize me anymore' is my own transformation from who I was. Keep going people, this song still sings to us all.

[@seminole17910]

Linkin Park's first 2 albums are all-time classics. "Numb" is my favorite track by them but the entire Meteora album is just flat out incredible. Their music is my favorite music to work out to. It really exercises the demons. "Easier to Run" , "Faint" and "Crawling" are other favorites. "Crawling" is the song that hooked me. I bought this album that same week when I heard it on the radio. It resonates with me to this day. Chester's voice is soooo good!

[@christianjones4497]

Absolute FACTS! You smashed that nail so hard!

[@nicholasparnell732]

Linkin Park just released an unreleased song from the metora album sound called Lost and it will put you to tears

[@JS-kr7zy]

I'm gonna need to see a lot more Linkin Park on this channel

[@joaofrc957]

Guys, I am loving so much your videos. REALLY amazing. Taylor, your analysis provide really powerfull tools for sublimating many fellings, especially given the emotional space these musics occupy in our minds. Please, consider doing some Alice in Chains (MTV Unplugged) and also Sepultura (especially their album called roots). Regards from Brazil!

[@timewolf841]

That’s so cool you had jake on.

[@Suddenly-Eggs]

In 2001 when it was released I didn't feel it right, because I was in it. Still not their biggest fan but I understand more now in my 40s.

[@Chrisjb8583]

You guys did a great job with this reaction

[@DaveCortesMusic]

You're so metalhead, respect!!

[@jaykye582]

In the end of the video we can see that there's an interesting change on the MV: they're on a statue, the vibe is sad, it's dark, cloudy, rainy/stormy... And everything was sad when the video started, the ground was dry, there were thorns... But as the perspective of the viewer changed after the emotional "explosion" on the bridge, and gets far from the band, we see that there's actually green, beauty, sun, clarity... that there's LIFE. In my opinion, this also means "healing". Like... It's not like it seemed to be. I felt like that meant that "it actually matter, 'cause you may not see it, but there's more than this". Be it about a relationship, about failing, whatever... I love it.

[@snowflake3397]

Ha 4:11 to 5:30 It's the same as Mike Shinoda who wrote this song, described that situation of the songwriting progress in an interview.

[@dancole2994]

100%, One of the most important things I've learned is to focus on practise/effort rather than outcome. Eg. if you are a white belt in Karate, you could spend a year working on a round-house kick and never land one, then get extremely frustrated and feel like a failure, like it's all a waste of time. But if you focus on practising daily with no interest in results, and just take pride in showing up and practising daily, you already possess the sense of achievement and self-respect. The irony is, people who focus solely on practise not results, end up with the best results. Sure you can check-in time to time to see where you could be practising in a different way that's more likely to get you results and use results as a measurement, but the idea is to be a person who practises, and achievement is preferred but unimportant. I'm so much healthier as a result and I enjoy life now, even though little has changed. To quote Lenny of Motorhead, "you win some, lose some; it's all the same to me".

[@scotthaase4082]

I love your energy to this song..I don't think I've ever watched anyone jam like you did 😮 Tesla and Linkin Park are my two favorite bands. I still can't believe that Chester is gone 😢 his voice was amazing. Can you please do a reaction to One More Light. That song to me is his best. Linkin Park just dropped another song that was recorded just before Chester took his life. I think it's called Friendly Fire.

[@oshikurutensai8206]

Among all the great Linkin Park songs, definite songs to check out are Numb, What I've Done, Crawling, Runaway, Pushing Me Away, From The Inside, Figure.09, Breaking The Habit.

[@backyardrailroader]

So true. I feel that way with a few things, but mostly with tango dancing. For 5 1/2 years, I have consistently went to classes. Many dances. A few two day weekend workshops. 3 four day Festivals. Practice 5 days a week in the morning and in the evening. And in the end, it does not even matter. It is taking me this long to be able to dance where most others it have learned it in one or two years and hearing them say,"If you put effort and your mind to it, you can do it!" They do notcrealize how worn out my leg joints are. A bit uncoordinated. Not as agile or mobile as they are. When it goes well and I have good rhythm, I enjoy dancing. But, does it even matter?

[@teemupulkka2682]

I think that in the end this song tells the story that in the end nothing really matters

[@Fastwinstondoom]

Do some Megadeath! Sweating Bullets, Tout le Monde or Family Tree perhaps!

[@rudegameplays2458]

Analyze "What it is - Jonathan Davis" (Korn's singer solo) "But it is what it is, you don't know how to feel with what it is, but I really am who I really am, if it's a son of a b*tch or a terrified kid, that's what it is"

[@Lleanlleawrg]

Excellent. I strongly suggest checking out "Breaking the habit" live in japan in 2007, if you haven't already. So much better than the studio version. He's kind of a bit off-key at times in that one and it honestly just adds to the emotion. It was ten years before he decided he'd had enough and ended things.

[@connormcvay7387]

You two really should react to "teardrops" by BMTH! Such a poweful song and video!

[@Keyc94]

Mike told what inspired him for the song. First of all its about hopeless. And then he told he was in this studio and all around him there were this shops with so many lives in it that are stucked in their world etc and it was some kind of hopeless. The story of breaking the habit is even more interesting because you would never think Mike wrote it about such a topic ( I would write in the comment of that reaction video) cuz all people thought it is about drugs

[@Meepie_Playz]

Interesting Some people say when Chester says “I’ve put my trust in you, pushed as far as I can go” it’s referring to his close friend who SA’d him

[@Keyc94]

​@@Meepie_Playz I dont know what SA'd means. Mike wrote the songs mainly on the first 2 albums. Sure the band shaped the details but the feeling and main meaning came from him.

[@Gentlemangamer85]

You really need to watch Linkin Park - Given Up Live In Clarkston

[@aidancampbell5644]

When this came out I was in a relationship that was 100% the way the song describes “acting like I was part of your property”. I was blaming myself for the problems in the relationship, trying to fix the situation, and it was only several years after the relationship ended (although she was still stalking me) that I had a psychologist tell me that from my description of the behaviour of the girl in question, it was likely she had Borderline Personality Disorder and nothing I could have done would have changed the way that relationship played out.

[@lesleyjblack]

LINKIN’ PARK - HEAVY!!!! “I'm holding on Why is everything so heavy? Holding on To so much more than I can carry I keep dragging around what's bringing me down If I just let go, I'd be set free Holding on Why is everything so heavy?”

[@cjilagan3216]

Please react to Linkin Park's Breaking the Habit or The Messenger.

[@darbylifefl]

Hey Taylor i love what you’re doing and love watching your videos. I’m an EDM DJ for many years who struggles with mental health. I listen to metal as my favorite genre to help cope. I’d love to see you do Alpha&Omega by King 810

[@jeffrzentkowski2307]

You could also say don't kill yourself "No pun intended"to achieve things that aren't important. They say wealth and fame are fleeting, are those worth the end result. But it applies to so many things. But, don't get me wrong, bettering yourself is a noble goal. Just keep things in perspective. Some things aren't worth ruining youself over.

[@kaceylinne344]

linkin park rabbit hole? hopefully? papercut, one step closer, crawling, a place for my head, somewhere i belong, faint, breaking the habit, numb, given up, leave out all the rest, bleed it out, waiting for the end, blackout, the catalyst, lost in the echo, in my remains, lies greed misery, castle of glass, victimized, roads untraveled, skin to bone, until it breaks, a light that never comes, guilty all the same, new divide

[@vyacheslav22894]

Thanks you a lot! Its one of my favourite songs at all . Also try numb

[@rickeycain]

Giving up by Lincoln Park is what you need to listen to 😢

[@paulclark6328]

CHESTER!!! respect bro

[@theworstkindofmess]

i have some suggestions to react to, all of these songs are by the band Get Scared! Hell Is Where The Heart Is, Suffer, Badly Broken, Under My Skin, and Give Up My Ghost. All of these songs have deep lyrics (or just for me personally), and I would really like to see you two analyze them! Of course, if you’re only reacting to songs with music videos, both Suffer and Badly Broken have music videos that you can react to. Suffer’s music video is deep, and it would again, be really interesting to watch you two react. :)

[@ckfoxtrot]

It would be cool to see you discuss a Soundgarden song, or maybe a handful of them. Some ideas: Fell on Black Days Blow Up the Outside World When I'm Down (just Chris Cornell, live at the Troubadour) The Day I Tried to Live Black Hole Sun

[@christbland]

Happy BDay Chester

[@kitcoakley1357]

I really hope that you get to songs from this band like papercut or one step closer or even heavy

[@jasonmatkovich6342]

Linkin Park saved my life and the lives of SO MANY. I'm very sad that he lost his battle. Losing Chris Cornell just had to be that final straw that he could not deal with.

[@JesusSantos-y1f]

Chester is hugely missed. It was ALL in his music up to his death.

[@chrismunoz7859]

You gotta do Linkin park- one more light (live on Kimmel)

[@Spike_Granada]

Could you please, please, please analyze DREDG - INFORMATION!! Thank you for sharing and teaching through your knowledge! Understanding Heals!

[@Kurtler10]

yay taylor time

[@jeffconnors3918]

I just stumbled on this channel and subscribed. Linkin Park has numerous songs that would be great to analyze. Another suggestion would be my favorite, Stabbing Westward. Really depressed because of a relationship based songs. Shame What Do I Have to Do? Push Just to name a few songs! Now I am going to explore the Slipknot songs you covered.

[@Mark-iq6hi]

I had life by the tail and then had a motorcycle accident that left me paralyzed at the age of 20 after being engaged for a year or more. After the accident my fiancé moved out on me and we called off the wedding, only later did we get back together after she got pregnant by another man and I was willing to be a father to her child. Nine years later we got back together and got married only for her to close me out and caused a divorce 1 1/2 years later. Sometimes those closest to you bale on you the quickest! So goes life.....

[@bryceshorette9494]

Wait till she sees "Heavy" by this same singer. Like if you'd watch that reaction video. RIP Chester.

[@richletram539]

You need to react to LP Given UP! 😢

[@OllieThePunk]

Please do “one more light” by linkin park… it’s a pretty heartbreaking song about suicide.

[@codysullivan8252]

Did you get anything from his last personal video? I see that look in peoples eyes before they end.

[@chmarisco]

I would Love to know your opinion over One in a milion song by Guns n Roses its realy disturbing for me

[@menacingone]

you should analyze "Given Up" from Linkin Park also....

[@No1Nowhere1]

Being a step above is equivalent; oh

[@izzyth3jok3r777]

Yes. :,)

[@Chrisjb8583]

You guys should react to numb by linkin park.

[@aps-pictures9335]

5:20 - tbfair the trying ended up in him dead, so it didn’t matter to him… it was him failing to escape his failed coping process that resulted in this song, and his life, when it shouldn’t have.

[@Winterdynasty]

Could you PLEASE react to given up by linkin park!!! It’s an amazing song!

[@wickedgrin9837]

I love the writing the book yeah I’m writing a book

[@diagopena539]

React to Crawling and Breaking the habit please

[@davidmartin9247]

check out pardon me. by incubus.

[@CK-lr7sd]

This isn't a needed comment and sorry it's so long. Lol But another way i thought of to think of it is like a staircase. You can focus on the top so much that you don't pay attention to the steps in front of you that get you there. Focusing on each step makes it less likely you'll fall but if you focus so much on the outcome or the top of the stairs it's easier to fall. And then when you do fall you have 2 options either stay there looking at the top feeling like a failure or focus on how far you've made it and maybe get back up and keep going. Maybe missing that stair gave you time to realize that the top of the stairs wasn't what you thought it was. And when you get to that goal. To the top of the stairs there's another level so you have to focus on i made it here i can keep going even if you need a break at the top of the first flight of stairs. If you made it this far in this comment props to ya!😂 sending hugs to anyone that wants/needs them!🤗🤗🤗

[@goldedrago]

Listen to Heavy by LP! 😭🫶🏼

[@jeremyschillinger917]

Heavy from Chester/LP last album.

[@tyy7760]

Mike Shinoda wrote the song. FYI

[@dinobravo852]

Mike Shinoda wrote most LP songs.

[@dimfromlux1449]

damn :( even Jake is feeling sad

[@AnthonyBusted]

Please return to Slipknot journey !👺

[@jay-ju3jm]

can you review the song " given up " by linkin park, i want to hear your point of view or analysis regarding the lyrics and its meaning, thanks alot, it will help me with my conditions 😔

[@jimhlavacek4477]

I hear what you 2 are saying and I love this channel, but to play devil's advocate, Chester lost his war with PTSD and succumbed to suicide, so how much did it really matter. He was a guiding light to people like me and millions of others who suffered, but at the end of the day even this vocal phenom, who had such a positive way to channel his pain into something beautiful, couldn't persevere, so how could someone like me that is ugly to the core get beyond my demons?

[@HeartSupport]

From leapyeargirl: @jimhlavacek4477 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us! If you look at the outcome- Chester singing it doesn't even matter and it eventually became true for him when his life ended- I get what you are trying to say. However the way Taylor and Jake describe it is helpful in the sense that we can focus on either outcome and process. And the process of Chester sharing his pain, people listening to his songs and relating to it- that matters a LOT in the end. People are still listening to his songs and sharing about it. And in the end, your life, even when you feel ugly or rotten to the core, matters too. You are an unique individual and you have something to offer to this world that only you can offer. I truly believe you are valuable and I hope watching the video with Jake and Taylor again might help you find a way to focus on your process. And somehow appreciate all the steps you have already taken, like writing to us. Hold fast!

[@WissarutNoothong]

Please reaction to Given Up. and No more sorrow Linkin Park
