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

After hearing of Chester Bennington's suicide this song has a different meaning to me now. Rest in peace you were a legend man
-
This song help so many people battle depression. Chester & Linkin Park was the therapy so many of us needed.
-
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. :)

2009: That's a really cool song. 2024: This is an absolute masterpiece.
-
YouTube, are you serious? This song and the video itself can be also taken as a suicide prevention message. It makes you wanna break the habit of giving up on everything and you become stronger. Linkin Park has saved so many lives and has healed millions of broken hearts and you dare to do such a thing... Update: this issue got fixed by YouTube! So happy! We love you, Chester!✨️🤍

one man can save millions, but millions couldn't save one.

Anybody here in April 2024?
-
R.I.P. Chester 😢 honestly one of the reasons I'm still here fighting. You will be missed 😢😭
-
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.
-
His body is gone. But his voice stays in our head. He lives there now.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Happy 16th birthday to Meteora, one of the best album in the world. Chester, your music will never die
-
"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.
-
Literally crying rn for the first time in awhile with an actual reason... God, I wish I had met this man. I wish I could've given him a simple hug and told him everything would be okay. I wish I could've told him to keep fighting. To keep being the amazing human being he is. We miss you, Chester 💔😭
-
“I don’t want the be the one the battles always choose because inside I realize I’m the one that’s confused” That line is what made this song resonate so much in me. This is more than a song. This is a story of a battle we all face. Whoever reads this, you’re not alone.
-
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?
-
You can really hear the pain in Chester's voice, in every song he sings. He didn't know how to fake that shit. That's why LP was so real. And it's why this hurts so much. All the people he saved from the darkness with his music, and in the end there was no one to save him. It's not fair. It's not right. He deserved better than this. The world is a fucked up place.
-
I love that they animated this music video
-
LP is the music we'll be talking about when our kids ask us what was music in our youth like. RIP Chester, thank you for gifting us with your music
