What surprised me most about this song was that it was Mike Shinoda who wrote the lyrics. Reportedly Chester himself was shocked by how closely the song reflected his own feelings, and he had difficulty singing it at first. The lyrics are so simple, yet they feel very real. Mike did a wonderful job.
Mike is a wonderful lyric writer honestly. This combined with how good he raps and Chester's voice, we got a masterpiece like In The End or Somewhere I Belong. Love them both so much 💙✨
Kind of explains the video a bit more too, I think. It’s Chester who jumps off the building (the lyrics are reflecting his thoughts and actions) but they’re in Tokyo (echoing Mike’s Japanese heritage, and Chester’s spirit travelling through the city) - it’s a nice way to blend that sentiment of them becoming one, together.
Was it not written specifically for Chester, as he was battling a drug and alcohol addiction at the time? Isn't that why it was one of Chester's favourite songs?
I've battled against many, many dark stuff through the years, and Chester/Linkin Park has been one of my biggest reasons to stay another day here. Sometimes it's really complex to live through the day, especially when you're not sure if anyone else cares. Our only goal is to keep walking, keep fighting, and feeling grateful. And yes, wherever Chester is, I'm grateful for his music.
@@EliezerAamesINTL Hey mate, I'm sorry that you've been through so much stuff. I've also battled myself against a lot of dark thoughts and loneliness, so I know what it feels like to bear everything alone. Feel free to message me if you need to discuss anything or another point of view.
I like to think that in that part he says "I'll never find a cure, and this is how we dance", maybe because even with the hardships he still wants to keep going
This song hits you right in the gut. Wanting to change, trying to fix yourself, not wanting to be part of the problem but can't help feeling like you are anyways, and wanting to give up when the last straw snaps. If you need help, get some. It will make you no weaker, for the strongest people in the world needed help too. Rest in peace Chester ❤
RIP Chester, your band and music saved me in high school and my darkest places in a broken home growing up. Thank you and I love you , you are immortal to me.
The sad, twisted irony of being able to save millions with your music; but being unable to save yourself. A cruel twist of fate truly that Chester was himself unable to continue living with his demons. RIP, Chester Bennington. Hopefully your music can continue to save others from the fate that you sadly couldn't escape yourself.
It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis... was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians... to create... life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about... from dying." The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities... some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was... losing his power. Which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself."
The most horrible feeling in the world is that you failed to save the person who saved you. A hero saves millions of people, but who will save the hero?
Why? The literal habit in this song was drug abuse. Mike wrote this to Chester even though it's a song that Chester ends up singing. It's not a suicide song. RIP Chester.
No matter the meaning behind when they wrote it. It has different meanings for anyone who hears it. You can relate this song to many internal struggles people face.
Chester was my Kurt Cobain. He got me through my teen years. I still can't believe he's gone and I will always regret not seeing LP live when he was still alive. Thanks for helping keeping those who are struggling here man. RIP.
I entirely agree and relate to you on every aspect, I was asked by my dad if i wanted to see one of the concerts live and I was like "next time".. but there was no next time. Biggest mistake I've ever made in my life.
My heart is heavy listening to this thinking about Chester. I hope you are free from your demons. Thank you for sharing your gifts and influencing so many people in life. Rest in Peace, brother.
Can we just take a second to appreciate the man that died, but also prevented so many people from dying. And also, let’s appreciate the animation on this video, It’s so good!
Anthony Mannino Word. Hard to believe that he still suffered so hard from his depression. R.I.P Chester, your Music saved me from suicide, but it couldn't save yourself...
The music video does to me too, from the part with the dude and his heroin, to the part where the girl is raped (she is right? unless I misunderstood the video). Those things actually happened to Chester. It's really sad. He helped a lot of us through difficult times, and it sucks that we couldn't affect him in the same way.
This song was Chester's favorite song and shakes me to the core hearing it after his passing. I'm in tears because the saddest part about this song is that it could be interpreted as breaking the habit of addiction. But when you watch this masterpiece of a music video Chester is showing us he broke the habit by jumping from the building breaking free of the pain because in the last chorus he says "I know I'll never be alright." Its goodbye. His spirit leaves him and becomes one with the other people struggling. It's like I can feel that spirit right with me now as I listen to it. Haunting, devastating, definitely their darkest song.
Papercut was his personal sweetheart and Mike's is Waiting For The end. Watch Mike's podcast with his hierarchy of all their liked songs, and he mentioned Chester's at one stage too.
You’re wrong. In the video time is reversed because Chester undid his suicide and chose to live. Breaking the Habit is a rejection of suicide and a resolution to keep living no matter what life throws at us. It is extremely dangerous to think that Chester wanted to die or that he genuinely chose and planned to end his own life. He died of depression, which is a serious mental illness. You speak of death as if it is a good thing that somehow sets people free, which is also extremely dangerous and not true. Chester needed help to live and it is absolutely tragic that he did not receive it before it was too late. All I can do is affirm the message of this song to you. Break the habit and choose to live!
@SP2718 Not hating here, but it sounds like you're interpreting depression while not having to personally struggle from it. People get to the point where they feel like the need to escape. For many, it eats away until it eventually wins. Not saying taking your own life is the right move because it definitely is not, but depression clouds perceptions and clear thinking. Trying to create a distinction between 'dying from depression' and choosing to end your life is odd because its all in the same. It comes from the inability to think clearly and seeing the world through a distorted lens. Chester was self aware to understand where he stood, he felt hopeless because for many depression is a life long struggle that doesnt end. He definitely was crying for help.
his music is literally the soundtrack of my life since i was too young to remember and my mother started me on it. I cannot for a second believe whats happened.... "tragic" is not a word that does it justice. "devastating?" "annihilating" i honestly don't think there's a word for it.
I grew up in a horribly toxic home (both parents were addicts and alcoholics), and I'm determined to break the generational abuse so that my marriage and daughter are free from the chains that held me prisoner for my childhood and early adulthood. My immediate & extended relatives disowned me as the black sheep of the family, and you know what? They think they've punished me, but instead, they've helped me destroy those chains. This song always reminds me of that resolve, and I'm truly thankful for it. ❤
@@nowheelgap whatever hard times you’re going through right now, just hang tight, there’s people that love and care about you, they wanna see you happy and if it’s really serious, I recommend a therapist they help a lot. Stay strong.
Big love everybody in this comment section youve got this i personally have also struggled with low moods and some would call it depression and just know your not alone and its all good just kick depression in its face everyday and tell it to go and do one 🙌💚 youve got this!!!!!!!
You can feel the pain, Chester channeled his battles into his music and it’s been almost 4 years since he passed away and this song still resonates today with people who battle depression.
That's why I feel no voice will ever come close to matching his. He isn't just singing those songs, he's living them. He pretty much pushes all his anger into his voice which I love, it's such a productive and beautiful way to take it all out. Makes me incredibly sad to know that he's not here anymore.
@@leonecartelreborn9628 absolutely 💯 when I heard he passed away in 2017, I was shocked and sad for his family and friends and the fans who lost a true talent.
You should watch them performing this song live. You can feel literally feel the battle inside him (esp in the early days of 2004). Mike wrote this song for a friend of his and chester had a hard time singing it, cause it hit home way too much.
Shinoda actually wrote the lyrics for this before meeting Bennington, but Bennington was deeply touched with how much he could connect to them. Another reason I love pre-passing LP so much, Shinoda and Bennington had deep connections on the emotional level and it really showed in all their songs. Sad to see such a good artist go so soon.
It was a big deal when it came out. Believe there's a documentary done on this video clip somewhere. It was a whole big shot studio, with every frame drawn by hand (if that wasn't obvious already).
It was directed by a legendary animator named Kazuto Nakazawa. Someone also co-directed it but the 2nd half of this video is animated by Nakazawa himself
@@SimplyRohith-sv5hdJust for reference, Nakazawa-san is known for illustrating Samurai Champloo, you can see the connection between the show and the videoclip.
The saddest part in all of this is remembering all the critics who dismissed songs and lyrics like this as nothing but Chester whining or seeking attention. The Man had genuine depression and suffered profoundly in his life, yet it was disparaged by blithering idiots who wanted to dismiss it or assert the fact they themselves had a more positive disposition. That perennial emptiness and soulless attitude is holding us all back.
I love LP and Chester but what do you expect? People to run to Chester's house and hold him telling him it's all gonna be okay? Some things can't be touched. And who are these critics you speak of? Because I don't know them.
@@VolvoMoose13 You don't know them? Guess they must not exist then. I don't expect anybody run to a depressed person's house, but not being a dick is the bare minumum and people often failed/fail to meet that level.
There' two kinds of people in the world regarfing that: people who understand depression (and who often has it) and people who don't understand it (and often will never suffer it). Sadly I am one of the first type, like I guess many of you guys in here. That's why this song sometimes punches so hard. Sadly some of my friends will never understand. They even try! But I guess will never understand the emptiness one feels within. It is a very sad thing.
It reminds me of an interview with Chester and Mike and Chester was saying about in his head is a bad place for him to be and it was like Mike was just like yeah Chester we get it ......but being with someone like that for so long you just assume they are just seeking sympathy the sad thing is you don't realise how serious someone is until they actually do something and as much as people say we all underestimate it to a point it's all sad it really is I think Mike is a great mate and I think they always have been there for Chester I guess didn't realise how much he was hurting no one did ....
Its heartbreaking as we realize the man who is still helping millions of people breaking their depression and encouraging to fight, has lost his own battle. Chester Bennigton, you're still alive in millions of hearts. We miss you .
Depression is always with us. Some of us just get tired of fighting it. Especially when it gnaws at you for years over and over again. It’s sad but it’s still life.
Cette homme a souffert de la dépression depuis sa plu tendre enfance à cause d'un salopard qui a abusé de lui enfants pauvre Chester il a gardé cela secret pendant des années sa lui bouffer de lin😮 alors il sait Di que le meilleur moyen pour oublier sa souffrance été de quitter ce monde j'espère que celui qui lui a fait du mal dans son enfance pourri ra en enfer Chester sache que un jour tes fans te reveirons ❤❤❤❤on t'aime
He didnt suffer from anything, the peydo club ended him cause they tried to warn us about the reality of this world stage, end of story. Oh hai podesta, we know.
God it's been years since I last saw this video. I was like 12 when I first saw it. I can't believe this video was so well animated for it's time. I had completely forgotten this was one of my favorite songs from the time Chester was still alive.
Chester died on my birthday. As someone who has battled trauma, depression and anxiety LP was one of the only bands that could express everything I felt. To loose him to his battle gave me less hope for mine.
I almost cried when I saw your comment 5 days ago. He's still here, he helps you, and tried to save others, with the music he did and you'll find him there. Keep doing it well, everything it's gonna be better.🖤
Absolutely. That part with “I paint it on the walls..” shows perfectly what depression can make with our minds. I fight with anxiety and depression, I’m a strong person and always win, but hearing that part of the song just slaps me on the face every time as you have to face your demons every day and start the fight again and again.
For years this song was my song because I thought it could explain my bout of depression, my desire to hurt myself and end all the pain. After Chester died I started listening differently. I no longer think it's about understanding pain, but a warning to face it. I started treatments with therapists, reconnected ties and did everything I could. I haven't had such a deep crisis in years, don't want to hurt myself anymore. Of course, my mind still has the habit of still thinking horrible things sometimes, but Chester gave me the strength to fight and say "I'm breaking the habit tonight". Thank you Linkin Park.
@kyleaustin2392 dude you are a weak human if what you do is scour the comments section looking for someone who you can put down with your silly words. Seriously how does a person expressing themselves ruin a song for you 😂 . You must be lonely or just in need of a hobby🧐
Chester, we may not see you, but you're in our hearts. All your fans love you. Your songs are just heaven to the ears. It's a pity that I won't hear your new songs anymore...
I am breaking the habit today Chester. I got my first job after battling depression and PTSD since my childhood. I am 28 today and need to listen to you today. Edit: Love to you guys who understand our very lonely battle we all fight together. Its going great and I am doing good, I wish health and success to every kind soul wishing me well. :)
And don't ever stop fighting that war! it will go on forever and u will have to battle when the time arises again and again. With consistency, dedication routine! Love and hope u will conquer all those battles! try practice some form of meditation to have more control on the battle field! it honestly never gets easier but you will grow stronger mentally and learn how to deal with the battles quicker and faster and keep conquering young king! may we all prosper and find health and happiness and make it out of the darkness and see the light
EMPTY WORDS. let me say if there was 1 chance would you or anyone has commented about this human being that is in the ground now. would any of you all trade places with this human being?
Just cried by myself in my car listening to this entire album only to come here and find out that this has been age restricted. Chester fought for a long time and unfortunately lost. You need to ask Mike to put a notice before the video if it’s this big of an issue. People that need to hear and see this might not get to.
@@TheLegendaryBeta i totally agree... we are all suffering, more and more each year because everything just gets tougher and there's not enough talk about mental health until it's too late
🫂 I'm glad as the years progressed that mental health has become much more recognized and I really hope one day it'll stop being sugar coated. I've been listening to so many Linkin Park songs lately because of how much they resonate with me.
I lost my mother when I was 13. The year, 2007. Can never forget how much this song helped me. NEVER. As I listen to it today, after I turned 31, realising that the man who was the voice for many people couldn't speak out for himself. Rest in Peace, Chester. You have no idea how many lives this group has changed. Thank you. Forver indebted.
All of a sudden, the lyrics mean much more; they are much more than words. Ever since Chester's passing, I have felt the true meaning of every song. I guess it takes a death to be able to understand the message behind every song... RIP Chester... we love and miss you so.
honestly i love this band but not feel so much when he died because for me i live with linkin park but not with chester... i dnt even know this band lead singer... sad.. but after he died i see the song lyric like the story of his life (no matter who wrote it) and thats hit me very hard...
"I don't want to be the one the battles always choose 'Cause inside, I realize that I'm the one confused" Couldnt be more true. Thanks for everything Chester, wherever you are now.
It’s so ironic that his songs kept so many people from committing suicide but yet here we are with him. Sad indeed. He helped me in 2004 when my mom passed on. I was 15...I wanted to join her so bad. This helped me
i lost my mom too back when i was 16 it's getting easier not because the pain is gone but because you learn how to live with the pain. chester really helped me through it and i tried to commit suicide i just didn't find any reason to live anymore, to be honest i don't really like my life now either but it's a little bit better than die. you just need to find the joy in your life even the little things and try to be with a company because loneliness isn't healthy
Anyone else on a LP marathon realise how almost every single song from 15 years ago (Meteora/Hybrid Theory) was a plea for help? Only Chester could have created such beautiful music from sorrow and pain. You live on in our hearts.
This music got me though the darkest times in my life. I just wish it could have done the same for Chester. Rest In Peace my dear friend, you are loved and missed.
As a kid, I first saw this and didn't know what was going on. I was scared of the music video but loved listening to the song. Now as an adult, I finally just now watched the video again and it hits so much differently. RIP Chester...you were really the savior and voice of our childhood.
man i litterally listen to them almost everyday after LOST, all the fuckign songs.from the inside,give up.numb.crawling everything until NEW DIVINE ,after that its bullshit.But yeah the thing i was wondering, am i okay to listen to them again so much ???? HAHAHAHA
Im not even from English speaking country, but this band is a part of my childhood, nostalgic sound and so many good memories. Thanks LP and thank you Chester.
A lot of us listened to Linkin Park to cope with our mental pain, we didn't always know that Chester was right there with us. Rest in Peace you Legend. And to all those who may be struggling, hurting, considering ending it, Please don't. Please stay with us, I know it is hard but you can make it
I feel this way right now I just want to be free from all the pain I caused myself this song lifts me up a lil this will always be my favorite band Rip Chester
The last part of the song and the video make a heartbreaking combo. When you have no video for the song it sounds like a motivational song but when you have the video and consider the words of the song it becomes apparent that this might as well have been Chester's farewell song.
God, Linkin Park honestly got me through high school. Before I was diagnosed with PTSD, I listened to this song over and over and over. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without it. Thank you Chester, for all you’ve given us. Rest In Peace.
2:10 - 2:30 so much POWER and PAIN!! I still cant believe it..Rest in Paradise Chester,thank u for your Music! Nice greets from Turkey to all the Linkin Park Fans.
I had the thought of listening this song once again after a phone call from a my controlling mom during a class in college, and it hurted me that I couldn't leave her sight even if I'll get to 21. I decided to go to the counselor to talk about my issues about my family and how I feel hiding secrets from them if they can't open up to realize that I'm an adult now and they should give me advice instead of supervision. Linkin Park has been with me in the toughest spaces and I wish to meet Chester again for the last time, but I know he wishes for me to keep pushing through. I hope the ride home will be strong.
Nothing but love in these comments. Chester’s amazing talent just needs to be taken in . No need to comment , just enjoy. Much Love Please if your in a weird place.....stay strong....Someone...Somewhere will understand and relate. DO NOT GIVE UP!
RIP Chester Bennington. One of the most influential singers to a band who influenced the Nu Metal scene. Growing up to linking park, some of my best memories were shared with their music. And for that, I am ever grateful. RIP CB. Touched the life's of so many. 🤘❤️🙌
Goodbye Chester. Tonight you broke the habit; I hope you will find peace. You really moved many people deep inside. Suddenly Linkin Park´s songs offer a complete new angle to think about... Chester, you are a legend we will always love and be sadly missing you!
Fighting porn addiction and I want to break the habit tonight!!! I pray to God but since a child couldn’t stop or break but I believe the impossible is possible through God and Jesus Christ I am breaking this habit tonight!!
1.5 year clean mate, best decision ever!!!! I did for God and our savior Jesus!I wuld never return and felll 100% better whitout porn.I blured google page for nudity it helps alot
When I was a kid, my brother (12 years older than me) was going through heroin addiction at the time this song was released. I was only about 9 or 10 but I still remember how bad my family was falling apart and how scared I was for my brother. This song took me to another place and helped get me out of my head, along with all of Linkin Park's music at the time. It gave me hope for him to get clean and he ultimately did. I'm 24 now and looking back on this has always been bittersweet, but now it has a new impact with Chester gone. You were like a friend I could always go to when I was feeling down. And all I know is that my world is a bit more empty knowing you're not in it. No words can do you justice for your impact on me. Rest in peace, Chester. 🤘
Taylor Bivens Funny I was 9 when my sister, older than me used to blare this and other songs from her room. She was going through stuff and Linkin Park hence always reminds me of her
brandonheat2k7 i understand what you have been going through i whas in the same position go butt fight my way true it just like you butt whe still standing respect for you men i wish you all the best ! ! ! !
Thank you, Linkin Park, for helping a depressed teen girl get through some of her tougher moments in life, for helping all us get through in life, I’m sorry we couldn’t help you, Chester. RIP.
This was literally my favorite band of all time. I am devastated to find out one of the biggest inspirations in the war against darkness has fallen. I'm really hurt, as I'm sure alot of people are, because I never thought Chester would give in... He and LP helped me through the most emotional times and the biggest times for growth in my life. (a teenager growing up in the early 2000's) This song was my favorite song by Chester....I'm crying as I write this beacause you inspired me to, "break my own habits," and helped me battle against some of my own feelings of depression. LP made me not feel so alone at a time in my life when I was too young to understand why the world was so fucked up. I just want to thank Chester for being one the coolest and realest people in the entertainment industry. My love goes out to Chester's family and the member's of LP. He was a very special person, and he will be missed for all-time. Linkin Park has ended with the passing of Chester. The world has lost the legendary Chester Bennington. He was a rock god, that helped guide the masses of a lost generation. I'll never forget his voice, I'll never forget him ;) The world is a lessor place without you Chester.
Symphonics he actually was a pop God. They were a pop band. Sure they made some nu metal tracks but that doesn't mean they are a nu metal or rap rock band.
DERPYDEREK 69 actually they are given the most credit along with Limp Bizkit for basically creating Nu Metal. Yes they are a pop bad but that is only because pop just means popular
Symphonics Same here! I was a science nerd and unpopular in high school in early 2000s. I used to listen to this song and others to inspire me. Now, I'm a doctoral candidate. It does get better.
I remember hearing my older brother and sister jamming out to linkin park when I was 4 and they've been apart of my childhood ever since then. It breaks my heart and leaves me in tears to know that a talented voice and artist like chester Bennington has sadly committed suicide. Chester I hope you know that we love you and we thank you for being the voice for many of us and in many ways contributing to saving rock and roll along with many other bands. You're talent will live on and you will be dearly missed. RIP Chester Bennington
RIP.... There are no words.... Today we Lost a very powerful voice who helped many of us find our way through the very battlefield he navigated for so long....
When I was a child, I didn't understand English and had no idea what this was all about. All I knew this looked like some kind of cool anime and I fell in love with the band ever since.
This song was one of my favorite when I grew up, and still give me so many memories and nostalgic feelings. Linkin park was one of the first band that made me like music like I do today. You will be greatly missed by so many people, Chester. Thank you for everything. Rest in Peace... 💔
This video never fails to bring a tear to my eye. Definitely been in some of these situations and very close to others before... Hits home so deeply lol
After his death this song is so much more tragic and beautiful. Very much underscores the need for people to be better listeners to loved ones struggling with mental health, as well as the need for more mental health professionals. RIP Chester
I miss Chester dearly..I met him by chance in the Houston Airport exactly 3 years before his passing..the same day but different year. Thank you so much Chester for spending the few seconds to talk to a fan and give me your signature 😊 I will forever cherish that, it's an amazing memory of him. I cannot imagine what their music would sound like now if he were still with them.... 🔗🔗
This song has helps 358M people to break their bad habit. That's why this has become my favorite and my very special song This song was helped me so much when I trying to fight myself for not being a looser and now I really did it! I have a little better life. Thank You Linkin Park, Especially for Chester and Mike, Thank you so much.
Today would be 21 years since this masterpiece was made. Meteora was the first CD I got when I was 13 and I played this album on repeat along with Hybrid Theory. Thank you Linkin Park for making this masterpiece of an album from start to finish. LP Soldier forever!
A song that has uplifted many lives and helped people bear through tough times, is now marked under "Self Harm" topic by TH-cam? Wow! What kind of guidelines allow a platform to have all non sense speeches and fake news, but consider pure art as a 'harmful-to-consume' entity? Shameful. Linkin Park songs are the reason most kids, students, adults and even those in depression are alive today. Breaking the Habit is all about going beyond the monotonous life, something we all need at times. During pandemic, this song probably helped millions to stay sane. Which is also evident from the views of this video staying high since 2020! TH-cam, seriously, this is NOT the way you treat art!
It was 2004 and i was 13 years old kid. The house i lived just been connected to new TV channels and there was russian MTV version. Whole summer i watched music videos non-stop but there was scary one from unknown for me band which contained blood, dark and depressive scenes. Always when this video started, i switched the channel. Some day my older sister found out that i was afraid about the music video, and made me see it whole (she called me a coward and so on). From this day on i became a huge Linkin Park fan for next half of my life. I've listened every album from this guys, and loved every song. Right now i'm with shaking hands typing this comment under exactly that video. I don't know what will happen to Linkin Park, but they really changed my life, and i will always be grateful for that. Farewell, Chester.
I can say almost the same thing, I was 13 years old in 2004 also and started to listen to linkin park, saw him live, and loved every album. Today is such a sad day. Can't get over it.
@@thomyyyyyy "..I don't know how i go this way, i'll never be alright, so i'm breaking the habid tonight.. ..i'll paint it on the walls, cause i'm the one that falls, i'll never fight again, and this is how it ends.."
Thank You Chester, because without you, LP would have never been what it was today. The music never would have been great without your vocals. The music never would have had the message it was meant to portray. You gave millions who might never had a voice a voice through your music. Because everything you had went through, and how you were able to overcome it, gave everyone else a chance to overcome their struggles. Awesome songs like _Breaking the Habit_ (which is a personal favorite of mine) would have never existed. So in short, *Thank You Chester* for your life and what you was able to accomplish in it. You might be gone, but you'll *NEVER be FORGOTTEN!* *R.I.P. bro.* You'll never be able to read this, but every and any Linkin Park fan who has listen to even a single one of the tracks from over the years will agree!
This song and Numb made me understand my brother better. He really tried to communicate with us through Linkin Park's songs. They said everything he wanted to say himself but couldn't. We almost lost him. He is still around. I wish I could do more to help him fight his own demons. But one can do as much as he lets us do.
I was an heroine addict for 9 years...I was almost death many times then I can remember.. I'm clean for 16 years now. Really clean!! Nobody can help your brother to fight his demon!!!! Only him can defeat his own demons.. you people, the family can only show support...
God bless him. Depression for us in our generation is like a gun with no safety. We hide it. We try to forget. We fight. We don’t always win but we fight. Chester is and always will be the hero for our generation. Sometimes when we spiral we think the world would be better without us and we don’t see the people who will be hurt we only see how our actions are hurting others. If that makes sense. Much love and prayers ❤
This song has definitely helped me with depression. This is not the music I usually listen to by me being a black man that listens to primarily hip hop but this song has spoken to me in ways I never imagined.
Cuando descubres que esta canción es un grito desesperado de alguien que no encuentra la salida, pero al mismo tiempo y en algún momento te identificaste con ella....... woooow !!!! Es una bendición estar vivo y poder apreciar esta OBRA DE ARTE de un artistas caído en la batalla de la vida, quien lo dijera, de las canciones mas bellas en mi play con un verdadero trasfondo oscuro. Bendiciones Chester, siempre hace falta el tuerto en un mundo de ciegos
An interesting fact about Breaking the Habit: The song was written by Mike shinoda, it was originally about a friend of his that fought a battle against drug addiction. When Chester first heard the lyrics, he related to much to them that it was hard to him to perform the song.
What i understood from some interview that, when chester started to record this song something inside him broke an he broke his own habit which started to affect group then and he became clean ever since...so we might as well say that mike saved many people an chester saved us all....but we couldnt save chester..rip beautiful soul
@@nightmarefanatic1819 Drug abuse is a different version of self-harm which is why the two fit well, but are also polar opposites. I was an opiate addict for nearly 15 years got clean last year and going without feeling or wanting to feel a thing that long really hits you like a truck. We all choose different ways to hurt ourselves to feel alive which is not right and I'm glad I got help. Now I see what a horrible grasp around my neck those tiny pills had on me and my money. I actually have money now.. well Covid-19 isn't really helpin, but I work for what's deemed an "essential business" so a job is a job. I hope those who are self-harming or doing drugs can see this message and realize that you can break the habit, but it takes more courage to stop and get help it takes a lot and I'm proud of those who are are taking even an inch in the right direction. It's hard, but so worth it cause the otherside is so freeing.
I was 15 when this came out i never really understood what it meant then but i understand it more and more every time i hear it ... I hope this song helps someone the way it has helped me

This song help so many people battle depression. Chester & Linkin Park was the therapy so many of us needed.
Still is
Damn right it helps... it helped me
Still us
And still need
Really ? How
What surprised me most about this song was that it was Mike Shinoda who wrote the lyrics. Reportedly Chester himself was shocked by how closely the song reflected his own feelings, and he had difficulty singing it at first.
The lyrics are so simple, yet they feel very real. Mike did a wonderful job.
Mike is a wonderful lyric writer honestly. This combined with how good he raps and Chester's voice, we got a masterpiece like In The End or Somewhere I Belong. Love them both so much 💙✨
Kind of explains the video a bit more too, I think. It’s Chester who jumps off the building (the lyrics are reflecting his thoughts and actions) but they’re in Tokyo (echoing Mike’s Japanese heritage, and Chester’s spirit travelling through the city) - it’s a nice way to blend that sentiment of them becoming one, together.
@SERA Xx they are twin flames 🔥 a reflection of each other in similar and different ways, a cosmic synergistic expression in human form.
Mike, Chester and Brad Delsom wrote it.
Was it not written specifically for Chester, as he was battling a drug and alcohol addiction at the time? Isn't that why it was one of Chester's favourite songs?
"I'll never fight again and this is how it ends"
Chester's scream is piercing right through my soul like no other voice ever did.
I know exactly what you mean
this is the "i'd like to fly but my wings has been so denied" of the Linkin Park. Down in a Hole - Alice in Chains..
RIP Layne Staley.
I've battled against many, many dark stuff through the years, and Chester/Linkin Park has been one of my biggest reasons to stay another day here. Sometimes it's really complex to live through the day, especially when you're not sure if anyone else cares. Our only goal is to keep walking, keep fighting, and feeling grateful. And yes, wherever Chester is, I'm grateful for his music.
@@EliezerAamesINTL Hey mate, I'm sorry that you've been through so much stuff. I've also battled myself against a lot of dark thoughts and loneliness, so I know what it feels like to bear everything alone. Feel free to message me if you need to discuss anything or another point of view.
I like to think that in that part he says
"I'll never find a cure, and this is how we dance", maybe because even with the hardships he still wants to keep going
This song hits you right in the gut. Wanting to change, trying to fix yourself, not wanting to be part of the problem but can't help feeling like you are anyways, and wanting to give up when the last straw snaps. If you need help, get some. It will make you no weaker, for the strongest people in the world needed help too. Rest in peace Chester ❤
His body is gone. But his voice stays in our head. He lives there now.
Every day bro, every day.
Everyday man
That's some truth there 🙏🤘
It's like "even if you're not with me, i'm with you".
His voice stays not only in our head, but also in our soul
RIP Chester, your band and music saved me in high school and my darkest places in a broken home growing up. Thank you and I love you , you are immortal to me.

Sometimes people underestimate the power music has when it comes to helping people through dark and tough times.
Jacob Hurde I mean listen to the lyrics he put everything he felt into them and listening to them ya could tell he was feeling something he didn't say
The sad, twisted irony of being able to save millions with your music; but being unable to save yourself. A cruel twist of fate truly that Chester was himself unable to continue living with his demons. RIP, Chester Bennington. Hopefully your music can continue to save others from the fate that you sadly couldn't escape yourself.
Too true, too true.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise?
@@adregas8847 やる
is this a fing palpatine meme?
It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis... was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians... to create... life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about... from dying." The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities... some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was... losing his power. Which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself."
It's a strange feeling to miss someone you never met, but thank you Chester for helping me through some of the hardest parts of my life. Thank you.
Happy 16th birthday to Meteora, one of the best album in the world. Chester, your music will never die
martin varga zak
My favourite LP album!!!
Wow, 16 years. What a great album! Carries a lot of memories with it.
How did that happen
Unlike Chester. Ok I’ll leave now I’m going to hell.
The most horrible feeling in the world is that you failed to save the person who saved you. A hero saves millions of people, but who will save the hero?
The song just hits different after Chester's death 😭
So true... No body but him could do good... Rip Chester, all love to you❤️😔
hero?
@@VitorFontseca Yes, why?
Another hero.
After hearing of Chester Bennington's suicide this song has a different meaning to me now. Rest in peace you were a legend man
JaxBlade And will be Forever a legend
Why? The literal habit in this song was drug abuse. Mike wrote this to Chester even though it's a song that Chester ends up singing. It's not a suicide song. RIP Chester.
No matter the meaning behind when they wrote it. It has different meanings for anyone who hears it. You can relate this song to many internal struggles people face.
JaxBlade In the end the habit broke him .... May this legend of a man rest in peace
same for me :( I hate this day..
he was helping others to break the habit, but for himself was just one way to break it.
always missed and praised.
Chester was my Kurt Cobain. He got me through my teen years. I still can't believe he's gone and I will always regret not seeing LP live when he was still alive. Thanks for helping keeping those who are struggling here man. RIP.
I totally share the same sentiments with you dude.
everything you just said!! same. love you always C
Курт Кобейн был геем, не сравнивай его с Честером
I entirely agree and relate to you on every aspect, I was asked by my dad if i wanted to see one of the concerts live and I was like "next time".. but there was no next time. Biggest mistake I've ever made in my life.
Chester was OUR Cobain 😢
My heart is heavy listening to this thinking about Chester. I hope you are free from your demons. Thank you for sharing your gifts and influencing so many people in life. Rest in Peace, brother.

Just paying my respects, all of the sudden the lyrics mean so much more. RIP Chester, you were so much more than an artist
Anthony Mannino Word. Hard to believe that he still suffered so hard from his depression. R.I.P Chester, your Music saved me from suicide, but it couldn't save yourself...
The music video does to me too, from the part with the dude and his heroin, to the part where the girl is raped (she is right? unless I misunderstood the video). Those things actually happened to Chester. It's really sad. He helped a lot of us through difficult times, and it sucks that we couldn't affect him in the same way.
Tom Popolo well said man
im speachless with the opinions of people, this guy was special, people got it, we are sleeping
Their last album sucked anyway.
This song was Chester's favorite song and shakes me to the core hearing it after his passing. I'm in tears because the saddest part about this song is that it could be interpreted as breaking the habit of addiction. But when you watch this masterpiece of a music video Chester is showing us he broke the habit by jumping from the building breaking free of the pain because in the last chorus he says "I know I'll never be alright." Its goodbye. His spirit leaves him and becomes one with the other people struggling. It's like I can feel that spirit right with me now as I listen to it. Haunting, devastating, definitely their darkest song.
That has to be the saddest yet honest psychological evaluation of Chester Bennington. Thank you.
Papercut was his personal sweetheart and Mike's is Waiting For The end. Watch Mike's podcast with his hierarchy of all their liked songs, and he mentioned Chester's at one stage too.
You’re wrong. In the video time is reversed because Chester undid his suicide and chose to live. Breaking the Habit is a rejection of suicide and a resolution to keep living no matter what life throws at us. It is extremely dangerous to think that Chester wanted to die or that he genuinely chose and planned to end his own life. He died of depression, which is a serious mental illness. You speak of death as if it is a good thing that somehow sets people free, which is also extremely dangerous and not true. Chester needed help to live and it is absolutely tragic that he did not receive it before it was too late. All I can do is affirm the message of this song to you. Break the habit and choose to live!
@SP2718 Not hating here, but it sounds like you're interpreting depression while not having to personally struggle from it. People get to the point where they feel like the need to escape. For many, it eats away until it eventually wins. Not saying taking your own life is the right move because it definitely is not, but depression clouds perceptions and clear thinking. Trying to create a distinction between 'dying from depression' and choosing to end your life is odd because its all in the same. It comes from the inability to think clearly and seeing the world through a distorted lens. Chester was self aware to understand where he stood, he felt hopeless because for many depression is a life long struggle that doesnt end. He definitely was crying for help.
I have to believe it will set others free@@Aquineth

If he only knew how many people he helped in life and STILL continues to help after his passing.. fucking legend, RIP
Amen... 🙏
True... i was on the edge when I was in my teens. LP was my sound track for life.
It's helping me through a lot
his music is literally the soundtrack of my life since i was too young to remember and my mother started me on it. I cannot for a second believe whats happened.... "tragic" is not a word that does it justice. "devastating?" "annihilating" i honestly don't think there's a word for it.
I grew up in a horribly toxic home (both parents were addicts and alcoholics), and I'm determined to break the generational abuse so that my marriage and daughter are free from the chains that held me prisoner for my childhood and early adulthood. My immediate & extended relatives disowned me as the black sheep of the family, and you know what? They think they've punished me, but instead, they've helped me destroy those chains. This song always reminds me of that resolve, and I'm truly thankful for it. ❤
Good for you 😊. One more light, brother.
I just love how positive everyone in here is, you all deserve a fucking medal, stay strong brothers.
Awesome comment bro I’m trying to be positive but it’s really fucking challenging

You can feel the pain, Chester channeled his battles into his music and it’s been almost 4 years since he passed away and this song still resonates today with people who battle depression.
That's why I feel no voice will ever come close to matching his. He isn't just singing those songs, he's living them. He pretty much pushes all his anger into his voice which I love, it's such a productive and beautiful way to take it all out. Makes me incredibly sad to know that he's not here anymore.
@@leonecartelreborn9628 kurt cobain?
@@leonecartelreborn9628 absolutely 💯 when I heard he passed away in 2017, I was shocked and sad for his family and friends and the fans who lost a true talent.
By any chance did you ever read the foot notes in the album sleeve? He was open about what was going to happen.
You should watch them performing this song live. You can feel literally feel the battle inside him (esp in the early days of 2004). Mike wrote this song for a friend of his and chester had a hard time singing it, cause it hit home way too much.
"You all assume I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again" gives me chills now, Chester was telling us something may he rest 😔🕊️
Shinoda actually wrote the lyrics for this before meeting Bennington, but Bennington was deeply touched with how much he could connect to them. Another reason I love pre-passing LP so much, Shinoda and Bennington had deep connections on the emotional level and it really showed in all their songs. Sad to see such a good artist go so soon.
Whoever animated this years ago. Had such remarkable talent. Its so beautiful!
It was a big deal when it came out. Believe there's a documentary done on this video clip somewhere. It was a whole big shot studio, with every frame drawn by hand (if that wasn't obvious already).
It was directed by a legendary animator named Kazuto Nakazawa. Someone also co-directed it but the 2nd half of this video is animated by Nakazawa himself
@@SimplyRohith-sv5hdJust for reference, Nakazawa-san is known for illustrating Samurai Champloo, you can see the connection between the show and the videoclip.
If you ever watched Kill Bill, you'll find his animation there too.
I want to learn to draw like that style. I wonder how they drew this Linkin Park animation video.
The saddest part in all of this is remembering all the critics who dismissed songs and lyrics like this as nothing but Chester whining or seeking attention. The Man had genuine depression and suffered profoundly in his life, yet it was disparaged by blithering idiots who wanted to dismiss it or assert the fact they themselves had a more positive disposition. That perennial emptiness and soulless attitude is holding us all back.
I love LP and Chester but what do you expect? People to run to Chester's house and hold him telling him it's all gonna be okay? Some things can't be touched. And who are these critics you speak of? Because I don't know them.
@@VolvoMoose13 You don't know them? Guess they must not exist then. I don't expect anybody run to a depressed person's house, but not being a dick is the bare minumum and people often failed/fail to meet that level.
It was never a cry for attention, it was a cry for genuine help.
There' two kinds of people in the world regarfing that: people who understand depression (and who often has it) and people who don't understand it (and often will never suffer it). Sadly I am one of the first type, like I guess many of you guys in here. That's why this song sometimes punches so hard. Sadly some of my friends will never understand. They even try! But I guess will never understand the emptiness one feels within. It is a very sad thing.
It reminds me of an interview with Chester and Mike and Chester was saying about in his head is a bad place for him to be and it was like Mike was just like yeah Chester we get it ......but being with someone like that for so long you just assume they are just seeking sympathy the sad thing is you don't realise how serious someone is until they actually do something and as much as people say we all underestimate it to a point it's all sad it really is I think Mike is a great mate and I think they always have been there for Chester I guess didn't realise how much he was hurting no one did ....
Its heartbreaking as we realize the man who is still helping millions of people breaking their depression and encouraging to fight, has lost his own battle. Chester Bennigton, you're still alive in millions of hearts. We miss you .
Depression is always with us. Some of us just get tired of fighting it. Especially when it gnaws at you for years over and over again.
It’s sad but it’s still life.

He didnt suffer from anything, the peydo club ended him cause they tried to warn us about the reality of this world stage, end of story.
Oh hai podesta, we know.
He didn't lose; it was a tie.
God it's been years since I last saw this video. I was like 12 when I first saw it. I can't believe this video was so well animated for it's time. I had completely forgotten this was one of my favorite songs from the time Chester was still alive.
Welcome back
Chester died on my birthday. As someone who has battled trauma, depression and anxiety LP was one of the only bands that could express everything I felt. To loose him to his battle gave me less hope for mine.
Please don't lose hope💜
stay strong, I’m rooting for you
🤍
I almost cried when I saw your comment 5 days ago. He's still here, he helps you, and tried to save others, with the music he did and you'll find him there. Keep doing it well, everything it's gonna be better.🖤
Keep fighting!
RIP Chester.
This is going to have an effect on me.
hi
This song does 100% hit different after Chester’s passing. I hope he knows that he’ll never be forgotten
Absolutely. That part with “I paint it on the walls..” shows perfectly what depression can make with our minds. I fight with anxiety and depression, I’m a strong person and always win, but hearing that part of the song just slaps me on the face every time as you have to face your demons every day and start the fight again and again.
from the top to the bottom
No song on their new album comes even close to the levels of brilliance this song has. It's not even a competition. RIP Chester.
From Zero isn't good enough. Mike clearly cares a lot more for money than art.
Mike wrote the music before Chester was in LP and wrote the lyrics later. Mike is a genius.
For years this song was my song because I thought it could explain my bout of depression, my desire to hurt myself and end all the pain. After Chester died I started listening differently. I no longer think it's about understanding pain, but a warning to face it. I started treatments with therapists, reconnected ties and did everything I could. I haven't had such a deep crisis in years, don't want to hurt myself anymore. Of course, my mind still has the habit of still thinking horrible things sometimes, but Chester gave me the strength to fight and say "I'm breaking the habit tonight". Thank you Linkin Park.
I dont know you man, but I love you.
@kyleaustin2392 dude you are a weak human if what you do is scour the comments section looking for someone who you can put down with your silly words. Seriously how does a person expressing themselves ruin a song for you 😂 . You must be lonely or just in need of a hobby🧐

The last part of the song and the video make a heartbreaking combo. When you have no video for the song it sounds like a motivational song but when you have the video and consider the words of the song it becomes apparent that this might as well have been Chester's farewell song.

今でも定期的聴いてる大好きな曲です😢
定期的に聞きに来たら仲間たくさんいた
God, Linkin Park honestly got me through high school.
Before I was diagnosed with PTSD, I listened to this song over and over and over. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without it.
Thank you Chester, for all you’ve given us. Rest In Peace.
Can I ask what happend? (Its okay if dont answer)
Faint was my crutch for years

I had the thought of listening this song once again after a phone call from a my controlling mom during a class in college, and it hurted me that I couldn't leave her sight even if I'll get to 21. I decided to go to the counselor to talk about my issues about my family and how I feel hiding secrets from them if they can't open up to realize that I'm an adult now and they should give me advice instead of supervision.
Linkin Park has been with me in the toughest spaces and I wish to meet Chester again for the last time, but I know he wishes for me to keep pushing through. I hope the ride home will be strong.
Nothing but love in these comments. Chester’s amazing talent just needs to be taken in . No need to comment , just enjoy. Much Love
Please if your in a weird place.....stay strong....Someone...Somewhere will understand and relate. DO NOT GIVE UP!

Nothing but love...or hate towards TH-cam's guidelines

RIP Chester Bennington. One of the most influential singers to a band who influenced the Nu Metal scene.
Growing up to linking park, some of my best memories were shared with their music. And for that, I am ever grateful. RIP CB. Touched the life's of so many. 🤘❤️🙌
Goodbye Chester. Tonight you broke the habit; I hope you will find peace. You really moved many people deep inside. Suddenly Linkin Park´s songs offer a complete new angle to think about...
Chester, you are a legend we will always love and be sadly missing you!
You stole my words, I hold all what you said. Rest in peace Chester

It’s awesome

19 years later it means so much more. Such a deep song if you actually listen and hear the lyrics.
When I was a kid, my brother (12 years older than me) was going through heroin addiction at the time this song was released. I was only about 9 or 10 but I still remember how bad my family was falling apart and how scared I was for my brother. This song took me to another place and helped get me out of my head, along with all of Linkin Park's music at the time. It gave me hope for him to get clean and he ultimately did. I'm 24 now and looking back on this has always been bittersweet, but now it has a new impact with Chester gone. You were like a friend I could always go to when I was feeling down. And all I know is that my world is a bit more empty knowing you're not in it. No words can do you justice for your impact on me. Rest in peace, Chester. 🤘
Taylor Bivens is your brother still alright?
Taylor Bivens Funny I was 9 when my sister, older than me used to blare this and other songs from her room. She was going through stuff and Linkin Park hence always reminds me of her
Taylor Bivens
Taylor Bivens I love this, I like seeing other people's stories and relationship to Linkin Park. and the impact that they had on people's lives
brandonheat2k7 i understand what you have been going through i whas in the same position go butt fight my way true it just like you butt whe still standing respect for you men i wish you all the best ! ! ! !
Thank you, Linkin Park, for helping a depressed teen girl get through some of her tougher moments in life, for helping all us get through in life, I’m sorry we couldn’t help you, Chester. RIP.
This was literally my favorite band of all time. I am devastated to find out one of the biggest inspirations in the war against darkness has fallen. I'm really hurt, as I'm sure alot of people are, because I never thought Chester would give in...
He and LP helped me through the most emotional times and the biggest times for growth in my life. (a teenager growing up in the early 2000's) This song was my favorite song by Chester....I'm crying as I write this beacause you inspired me to, "break my own habits," and helped me battle against some of my own feelings of depression. LP made me not feel so alone at a time in my life when I was too young to understand why the world was so fucked up. I just want to thank Chester for being one the coolest and realest people in the entertainment industry. My love goes out to Chester's family and the member's of LP. He was a very special person, and he will be missed for all-time. Linkin Park has ended with the passing of Chester. The world has lost the legendary Chester Bennington. He was a rock god, that helped guide the masses of a lost generation. I'll never forget his voice, I'll never forget him ;) The world is a lessor place without you Chester.
Symphonics d
Symphonics he actually was a pop God. They were a pop band. Sure they made some nu metal tracks but that doesn't mean they are a nu metal or rap rock band.
Yeah. I miss you Chester! You were and still are a legend! X'(
DERPYDEREK 69 actually they are given the most credit along with Limp Bizkit for basically creating Nu Metal. Yes they are a pop bad but that is only because pop just means popular
Symphonics Same here! I was a science nerd and unpopular in high school in early 2000s. I used to listen to this song and others to inspire me. Now, I'm a doctoral candidate. It does get better.
I remember hearing my older brother and sister jamming out to linkin park when I was 4 and they've been apart of my childhood ever since then. It breaks my heart and leaves me in tears to know that a talented voice and artist like chester Bennington has sadly committed suicide. Chester I hope you know that we love you and we thank you for being the voice for many of us and in many ways contributing to saving rock and roll along with many other bands. You're talent will live on and you will be dearly missed. RIP Chester Bennington
RIP.... There are no words.... Today we Lost a very powerful voice who helped many of us find our way through the very battlefield he navigated for so long....
Josh Blanchard beautiful words and very true, still can't believe it happened
He helped a lot of us. Bless this guy wherever he may be. RIP Chester Bennington. ❤
チェスターは私の知っている音楽に革命を与えた存在。
この時代を共に生きていた事に感謝

チェスター、安らかに
貴方が眠っていても私の心にはちゃんと生きています。
I was 25 when this album came out, 43 now, can't believe it's been that long. Still one of my favorite songs of all time. Top 3.

When I was a child, I didn't understand English and had no idea what this was all about. All I knew this looked like some kind of cool anime and I fell in love with the band ever since.
whats the name of this anime though ??

This song was one of my favorite when I grew up, and still give me so many memories and nostalgic feelings. Linkin park was one of the first band that made me like music like I do today. You will be greatly missed by so many people, Chester. Thank you for everything. Rest in Peace... 💔
This video never fails to bring a tear to my eye. Definitely been in some of these situations and very close to others before... Hits home so deeply lol
R.I.P. Chester 😢 honestly one of the reasons I'm still here fighting. You will be missed 😢😭
Abraços aqui do Brasil
Same. I miss him. This song tonight is keeping me going too.
😢
After his death this song is so much more tragic and beautiful. Very much underscores the need for people to be better listeners to loved ones struggling with mental health, as well as the need for more mental health professionals. RIP Chester
I miss Chester dearly..I met him by chance in the Houston Airport exactly 3 years before his passing..the same day but different year. Thank you so much Chester for spending the few seconds to talk to a fan and give me your signature 😊 I will forever cherish that, it's an amazing memory of him. I cannot imagine what their music would sound like now if he were still with them.... 🔗🔗
Such a lucky..one..u're
This comment must be the most massively underrated comment in TH-cam's history.
You are sooo luckky
You lucky bastard!
🤘
This song has helps 358M people to break their bad habit.
That's why this has become my favorite and my very special song
This song was helped me so much when I trying to fight myself for not being a looser and now I really did it! I have a little better life.
Thank You Linkin Park, Especially for Chester and Mike, Thank you so much.
Today would be 21 years since this masterpiece was made. Meteora was the first CD I got when I was 13 and I played this album on repeat along with Hybrid Theory. Thank you Linkin Park for making this masterpiece of an album from start to finish. LP Soldier forever!
I have the same situation, just a little bit earlier with Hybrid Theory
But tell me, did you also get the live in texas album?
A song that has uplifted many lives and helped people bear through tough times, is now marked under "Self Harm" topic by TH-cam? Wow! What kind of guidelines allow a platform to have all non sense speeches and fake news, but consider pure art as a 'harmful-to-consume' entity? Shameful. Linkin Park songs are the reason most kids, students, adults and even those in depression are alive today. Breaking the Habit is all about going beyond the monotonous life, something we all need at times. During pandemic, this song probably helped millions to stay sane. Which is also evident from the views of this video staying high since 2020! TH-cam, seriously, this is NOT the way you treat art!
out of everything out there they age restrict this, just sad...
It's really pathetic to see how far TH-cam has fallen...
Slipknot XIX
Companies like TH-cam these days just want to put some stupid rulebook on everything when something was clearly made to help people of all ages.
Yours songs were with me in my darkest days...thank for support......RIp
Same. Rip Chester
Anyone who will be watching are the ones who knows about the REAL music.❤ Love you and rest in peace, Chester Bennington💚
It was 2004 and i was 13 years old kid. The house i lived just been connected to new TV channels and there was russian MTV version. Whole summer i watched music videos non-stop but there was scary one from unknown for me band which contained blood, dark and depressive scenes. Always when this video started, i switched the channel. Some day my older sister found out that i was afraid about the music video, and made me see it whole (she called me a coward and so on). From this day on i became a huge Linkin Park fan for next half of my life. I've listened every album from this guys, and loved every song.
Right now i'm with shaking hands typing this comment under exactly that video. I don't know what will happen to Linkin Park, but they really changed my life, and i will always be grateful for that. Farewell, Chester.
I can say almost the same thing, I was 13 years old in 2004 also and started to listen to linkin park, saw him live, and loved every album. Today is such a sad day. Can't get over it.
Cerisefleurs same here!

Chester :(
Grammar
Yup
I understood that reference (The Sandlot)
The amount of feelings that this song carries is insane
im sure with you
It’s really heavy
@@thomyyyyyy "..I don't know how i go this way, i'll never be alright, so i'm breaking the habid tonight.. ..i'll paint it on the walls, cause i'm the one that falls, i'll never fight again, and this is how it ends.."
I guess it hurts more knowing he helped us but not himself.
Real
RIP my friend , you were a great singer
He was the Legend.
Thank You Chester, because without you, LP would have never been what it was today.
The music never would have been great without your vocals. The music never would have had the message it was meant to portray.
You gave millions who might never had a voice a voice through your music. Because everything you had went through, and how you were able to overcome it, gave everyone else a chance to overcome their struggles. Awesome songs like _Breaking the Habit_ (which is a personal favorite of mine) would have never existed.
So in short, *Thank You Chester* for your life and what you was able to accomplish in it. You might be gone, but you'll *NEVER be FORGOTTEN!* *R.I.P. bro.*
You'll never be able to read this, but every and any Linkin Park fan who has listen to even a single one of the tracks from over the years will agree!
This song and Numb made me understand my brother better. He really tried to communicate with us through Linkin Park's songs. They said everything he wanted to say himself but couldn't. We almost lost him. He is still around. I wish I could do more to help him fight his own demons. But one can do as much as he lets us do.
I was an heroine addict for 9 years...I was almost death many times then I can remember.. I'm clean for 16 years now. Really clean!!
Nobody can help your brother to fight his demon!!!!
Only him can defeat his own demons.. you people, the family can only show support...
I want to say I love you.
God bless him. Depression for us in our generation is like a gun with no safety. We hide it. We try to forget. We fight. We don’t always win but we fight. Chester is and always will be the hero for our generation. Sometimes when we spiral we think the world would be better without us and we don’t see the people who will be hurt we only see how our actions are hurting others. If that makes sense. Much love and prayers ❤
This song has definitely helped me with depression. This is not the music I usually listen to by me being a black man that listens to primarily hip hop but this song has spoken to me in ways I never imagined.
Yes. Agreed not easy on him either. Most importantly for you now. Don't give up on your brother.😊
Cuando descubres que esta canción es un grito desesperado de alguien que no encuentra la salida, pero al mismo tiempo y en algún momento te identificaste con ella....... woooow !!!! Es una bendición estar vivo y poder apreciar esta OBRA DE ARTE de un artistas caído en la batalla de la vida, quien lo dijera, de las canciones mas bellas en mi play con un verdadero trasfondo oscuro. Bendiciones Chester, siempre hace falta el tuerto en un mundo de ciegos
An interesting fact about Breaking the Habit: The song was written by Mike shinoda, it was originally about a friend of his that fought a battle against drug addiction. When Chester first heard the lyrics, he related to much to them that it was hard to him to perform the song.
Yeah I learned that a few days ago, I hadn't realized it.
What i understood from some interview that, when chester started to record this song something inside him broke an he broke his own habit which started to affect group then and he became clean ever since...so we might as well say that mike saved many people an chester saved us all....but we couldnt save chester..rip beautiful soul
It's also very, very reminiscent of self harm as well, especially if you take some of the lines more literally.
as someone whose been there, I relate to this song.
@@nightmarefanatic1819 Drug abuse is a different version of self-harm which is why the two fit well, but are also polar opposites. I was an opiate addict for nearly 15 years got clean last year and going without feeling or wanting to feel a thing that long really hits you like a truck. We all choose different ways to hurt ourselves to feel alive which is not right and I'm glad I got help. Now I see what a horrible grasp around my neck those tiny pills had on me and my money. I actually have money now.. well Covid-19 isn't really helpin, but I work for what's deemed an "essential business" so a job is a job.
I hope those who are self-harming or doing drugs can see this message and realize that you can break the habit, but it takes more courage to stop and get help it takes a lot and I'm proud of those who are are taking even an inch in the right direction. It's hard, but so worth it cause the otherside is so freeing.
Man this video hits harder now that Chester is truly gone. Your music forever lives within us. Rip
Indeed.
It is not the death of one person, it is the death of an entire era.
Zhenia Motolov Well said 😞
so true man....a part of my childhood died with him
The same thing happened before, when Sinatra, lenon, Cobain died
no it not you edgy dipshit, LP died after Meteora. Period
Zhenia Motolov and Cornell
I was 15 when this came out i never really understood what it meant then but i understand it more and more every time i hear it ... I hope this song helps someone the way it has helped me
