Lyrics:
Memories consume, like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don't want to be the one the battles always choose
'Cause inside, I realize that I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate and say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way, I know it's not alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
Clutching my cure, I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more than anytime before
I had no options left again
I don't want to be the one the battles always choose
'Cause inside, I realize that I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate and say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way, I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
I'll paint it on the walls 'cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again and this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way,I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit tonight

Timeless
Great band
Hindi na lang.
😊
What's time to music? ❣
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.
I just started listening to linkin park and now I can't stop replaying them 😢
its all a matter of time
@Sir_cheesy the third 🗿welcome to the team❤
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
honestly, even as an adult, i still have no idea what's going on in the music video lol.
As someone who's battling themselves mentally this song is something that makes me feel like I'm not alone with trying to break bad habits
that mental battle is probly one of my toughest emenys i have against me so dont worry stranger to stranger
Hey, you're not alone. I can confirm that I am also a person and I am struggling. Pumping this, Metallica and Korn on the worst days. I also love cats, but can't have one!
We'll get through
Almost 8 years ago that this song stopped me from pulling the trigger. Sitting with tears in my eyes looking for the answers once again. Forever missed Chester Rock in peace
I am in pain at the moment after SHing but I'm so glad you're here. Please be safe and happy. 🫂
chester is in a better place now. rock on legend. 1976-2017
@Vic M much love man
keep your head up brother much love!
chester has saved so many lives with his music. its a shame he couldnt save more by being alive making music again. either way if heaven existed he would be in it.
Chester Lost but NEVER forgotten. your words and ways the essence you put into every verse has saved many who listen. Rest in piece wherever it is you are now!
Chester didn't write this song. But sung it brilliantly though
@G KChester and Mike made such a great combination. Their upbringings were so different, their styles were so different but it combined together with the rest of the band to create something truly special. These songs that Mike was able to write as if they Chester’s own inner words show how great of a songwriter he is and Chester is able to belt them out with such emotion.
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside, I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
Thanks
I never understood how people could cry over lyrics until now
Chester ♥ We miss u ♥
Yes really
RIP CHESTER
Fechou apelao ff
@Seema Tanwar i want to bring him back to life thats my bigger wish
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
Minha musica favorita. Ever ♥
During college days I was fighting depression I was alone and had suicidal thoughts..This song somehow save me .I listen this on repeat mode and felt better afterwards..Thanks chester..Today am 28 years old and living a happy life
Im so proud of u that u have Made itttt
Glad you are happy. Im still going through it. Trying to make things better.
The thing I love the most about many Linkin Park songs, is how RICH they are. There are like a million different sounds coming together, you can't listen to it a million times and still find something new. No one does it like them. And they are in perfect harmony! It's as if each sound reflects a thought among millions of thoughts running through our minds and all of them are acknowledged within the song.
How does a song sound so fresh and still so powerful even after 2 decades? We didn't realise what a precious song this was, did we?
This was an instant classic as soon as people heard it on the radio!
same way you got 29 likes in 2 days. we need the song to survive
A few did
@Katame Yeah, first song I remember listening to and asking my mom for when I was a kid (think I was like 4 or 5? was on the radio, got the album it was on as a gift that year.)
i did after i bouth cassete , and i even wanted a music video for this song and i got it!
It's unfortunate that Clip-Share censors this video, this is not an apology for suicide, it's a sad reality that many people live in, thank you for this band not only making music for entertainment but also showing how devastating depression can be
Honestly, the whole age restriction thing is just stupid and pointless. It only serves as an annoyance. Especially when it can be bypassed by a simple script that can be found with a 3 second google search.
Just watching some 00's nu metal playlist and this pops up, fucking youtube snowflakes we ain't going to feel sensitive to lyrics we are here to enjoy the music
and its annoying cuz like i want hear my misc
What are you talking about? This song is about the discontinuation of a drug.
That’s the stupid cancel culture
You will always live on through your music and in our hearts! We love you Chester Bennington!
It hurts getting older and actually hearing all of Chester's pain and raw emotions in these lyrics we all sang along so happily too as a source of inspiration from our lives as teens growing up in the 2000's
Linkin Park saved my life as a teenager. The band helped me process my emotions and suicidal ideation and figure out how to push through. My plan was to be gone by 18 if i couldnt find something to live for...anything. That was over 12 years ago and I am enough. Thank you, Chester. R.I.P.
One of the greatest bands to ever exist on this planet. RIP Chester
Congratulations everyone. We have crossed 300 million views. Rest in peace Chester wherever you are
He isn't anywhere but in our hearts and memories!! Rest in peace Chester, one of the voices that helped me through my hardest times
@Sir Die A Lot (crying) thanks for making me remember that just tell him we've crossed 300 million views here. Big R.I.P.L for chester
He’s dead
@Joshua Cook please don't remind me that.🤧🤧🤧
i think if heaven existed he would be in it. who knows.
We owe a salute to the man who died but saved others from dying, unfortunately not every story has a happy ending, but you were amazing Chester
Not everybody can be pulled back into the terrible reality that is life
U are not understanding. 😓
@͔ ͔ I really like this. Thanks. I found myself in the same state for quite a few years and it was only recently that i was able to get grip of my reality and come fully back, from the daze and confusion
Not Chester, Jesus!!!! Jesus is the way, truth and life. I pray for everyone seeing this to know there is hope and life though Jesus. Pray and accept Him today. Don't wait, today is the day of Salvation.
@christop righteous who is Jesus ??
One of my all time favourite. The violin, the guitar, the way the narration feels so specific yet so general...Masterpiece!
for me, this one and “waiting for the end” are the most timeless LP songs, both underrated masterpieces
One of my most favourite LP song ! ❤
Simplesmente Linkin park.
The song is so good that despite having come out more than a decade ago, it still has recent comments from hours ago. It feels how alive the community loyal to Linkin Park is.❤️🇩🇴
He pulled me out of some low places hate we couldn't do the same for him got to stay loyal to the mans
2 decades ago *
"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.
@Eliézer Aames 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
Grande lembranças vendo MTV, época boa.
SAUDADES CHESTER 🖤🇧🇷
Essa música é arte assim como um nom vinho ela envelhece bem
Man this video hits harder now that Chester is truly gone. Your music forever lives within us. Rip
Chester walks me to school every day, walks me home again, gets me through homework and the hardest of times! Thank you, Chester, I wish I could've seen you live :(
nostalgia ouvir LP. Que saudades dessa época
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.
The saddest part is that videos discussing suicide in a serious mannet are age restricted.
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.
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.
Growing up linkin park was a huge part of my childhood listening too them in transformers or on the radio from my mom or dad really got me hooked and got me interested in music/metal this band has created some of the best music too ever grace a generation and inspire more artists and art and for that I’m grateful
as we all grow older, these songs touch us in a different perspective
Yes, this song definitely touched me in my special place.
It definitely rustled my jimmies
@AHKirayep this was the kind of reply i was looking for when i clicked replies😂
O som da minha infância❤
RIP Chester 🕊🌟
Goosebumps! Genious lyrics and notes
Meu hino ❤
R.I.P Chester ❤
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
Siempre nos hablo de su profunda depresión en sus canciones y no nos dimos cuenta 😢😢😢 que gran persona e increíble cantante !!!!
Hands down my most favorite Linkin Park song...I will never forget getting the cd , busting out the fold out to memorize the lyrics , and playing it over and over for days and days. ❤
The chorus, the music, the Chester voice are so beautiful that I can't get enough of listening to them.
Same here ❤
Rip Chester his music won’t be forgotten
CHESTER você faz falta aqui ... 🖤🇧🇷
I discovered Linkin Park as a kid,
I never knew how deep their lyrics were until
I grew older.
Facts!!
Same here
Same though! I originally thought this was about people trying to force this guy into choosing a side in a war lol
For real man
@Catsweatshirt Technically you're right, *a war with himself*
Here I'm crying while listening to this masterpiece... Everything hits so hard... I hope that I will see the light someday...
Break the habit bro, you can do it
You will. You're strong. I know you can do it.
You are the light. Acknowledge it. One day at a time.
Same here! Hope you're ok 💪
as a person who never gets out of depression and almost every day suicidal im with you this song hits harder than me hitting a brick wall going 100+ mph
Amo essa música e na minha opinião um dos melhores videoclipes da banda...video fodastico.
Damn, this song hits way different now. Whole new meaning. Thank you LP
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?
@Vitor Fonseca Yes, why?
Another hero.
LP got me thru my teen adolescence. I miss you Chester. RIP.
I can't even find the correct words for how unbelievable good this song is
One of my all time favorites
Thanks for your legendary voice!
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?
@Adregas 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."
I remember as a kid, I used to cover the screen because the video scared me so much... Now it just hits different. Rest in piece, Chester, you truly made my childhood better...
“One person can save millions, but sometimes, millions can’t save one person”
RIP CHESTER :(
I will never ever ever get tired of this song..
This was my ringtone since 14 years
never gets old❤
Absolute masterpiece
Shame on Clip-Share for censoring this video. Mental health is not just an adult topic. Many children struggle with their mental health as well. I know firsthand, because many of my peers in high school did, and I even lost two classmates to suicide in different years.
This song is supposed to be uplifting, to encourage others to break through their habits, and is a message to people of all ages. Not just adults.
Exactly
Well said
I really don't have any problem with the video...🤔I don't see any message and everything work as usual.
Yeah stupid Clip-Share this song is inspiring to everyone all ages
@Soleil Tounsi me too
RIP to Chester what a legend
I remember when this video would play on tv as a kid 🖤
Chester tenia simplemente una voz angelical☹☹
My god how much sadness and suffering in this song I always a big fan of Linkin park since i was a teen now after all these years I feel like crying listening to this again it hit so hard deep in my heart. Rest in peace Chester .u spoke truth love you ❤
Linkin Park always reminds me of the power I have. I go here whenever i feel down
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
@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.
I appreciate the outreach man I could use it right now tbh. I’m beginning to think something may be wrong with me mentally.
so gimme it to me
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!!!!!!!
Eternal love for LP ❤ Chester u r always missed.
Something about Linkin park there songs always touch my heart 🥺😇 awesome band 🥰
never gonna break the habit of listening to this on repeat
Every time I listen to Linkin Park, I think I'm on another planet!❤❤❤
Still a great song years later, rest in peace Chester. 🙏
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 love this song sm.
R.I.P Chester
Sincerely, one of my favorite songs ever from this magnificent band. I'm not a huge fan of Linkin Park, but still miss how energetic the voice of Chester was for all of us that listen to this band's songs.
i love this song and mv so much. chester’s vocals and the way he conveys pure emotion in them are absolutely stunning. lp have always been here for me at my lowest points in life since i was a teenager. mtm was the album that got me into rock music in the first place. not many other bands can compare.
One of my fav songs 🤩 Still can't get over it in 2023 ❤
I got goosebumps over here😭😭😭😭😭❤
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
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 😢
Omfg this song hits so hard, especially after all that happend.. It's so tragically beautiful in a sense. I'm still baflled how insanely talented Chester was and I've been listening to LP since the start. Damn.. R.i.p Chester, the world misses you so much and I'm sure we'll never see or hear of anything like you again. The voice of an angel and the scream of a demon! I'll never forget you. Absolute Legend❤
I first heard it when I was 12 and now I'm 22.
Brings back lots of memories....
"I don't know how I got this way, I know it's not all right " Is a really through provoking lyric
Time flies still a hit. Such a timeless piece of music. The art behind it is amazing
The best song ive ever listened to in my life.
4 years since Chester's passing.
It’s ok😪😫
He telling to people to Breaking the habit (of Depression & Anxiety)
@MenaceOutDaKut qqaXxżsa
@MenaceOutDaKut or drugs
@Legend of Khaos true
i never cried before but this song broke me for real...
This song specifically will always be my favorite it got me thru hard times as a teen, rest in peacr chester you will always be loved by all
This was the first Linkin Park I listened to, back in 2012. Man, time flies
This whole Meteora holds a special place in my heart. So much nostalgia to my childhood! Rest In Peace Chester
This video and song is a true work of art.
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.
i cri
Freyu Ervy tieme
Awesome words dude, i feel that too
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
On the subway heading home from work and fighting back tears listening to this song… the emotion and pain behind these lyrics as well as the hope it brings… fk I miss Chester… this band has impacted my life immeasurably…
This song brought me to music in general.
Just thank you!
Chester helped me get through so much depression.Mental health is important. Please always look out for the ones u love and help them out any way u can. I needed help and I'm glad I had friends and family. RIP Chester 🙏 🕊
Listen to this song on the radio today and had to double back!!! This band got me through some rough patches and I'm grateful ❤️🙏🏾
This song, whether I knew it or not, has always been the background music of my life.
And now Chester’s gone for real.
But-just like his face was appearing on all the walls and surfaces in the music video, singing to us-he is all around now. He is everywhere.
Rip Chester. We love you lots.❤
Your music will remain a part of many people's lives! Thank you for everything. R.I.P.❤
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.
I remember being blown into another universe when I first heard this song.
the first song that made me know Linkin Park, and until now I like all of his works.
Legends Never Die!
Thanks Chester..... Today, you saved my life, your song shows depression, but, today I saw it as a way to start over, no matter the mistakes, thank you, thank you and for eternity, thank you, you saved my life....
Song still gives chills for me
