IN THE END OF CHESTER BENNINGTON

Two months ago you were singing at Chris Cornell funeral. You sent a letter to him after the tragedy.

I dream about the Beatles last night. I woke up with Rocky Raccoon playing in my head and a concerned look my wife's face. She told me my friend had just passed away. Thoughts of you flooded my mind and I wept.

I'm still weeping, with sadness, as well as gratitude for having shared some very special moments with you and your beautiful family. You have inspired me in many ways you could never have known. Your talent was pure and unrivalled. your voice was joy and pain, anger and forgiveness, love and heartache all wrapped up into one. I suppose that's what we all are. You helped me understand that.

I just watched a video of you singing "A Day In The Life" by the Beatles and thought of my dream. I'd like to think you were saying goodbye in your own way. I can't imagine a world without you in it. I pray you find peace in the next life. I send my love to your wife and children, friends and family.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your life.

With all my love.

Your friend,

And few days ago you decided to end your struggle againts depression, drugs and alcohol on the anniversary of your best friends. Everybody shock and broken heart. Why Chester? Why? Yeah, i think million people in the world, your family, your bandmate, your friends, your fans ask the same question.

But, if people notice the sign you give, listen your confusion and really care about your problems, maybe we can change the destiny?

Didn't they hear your confusion in the your first single on your latest album? HEAVY.

I don't like my mind right now
Stacking up problems that are
so unnecessary
Wish that I could slow things
down
I wanna let go but there's
comfort in the panic
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me
Yeah I drive myself crazy
'Cause I can't escape the gravity

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

You say that I'm paranoid
But I'm pretty sure the world is
out to get me
It's not like I make the choice
To let my mind stay so fucking
messy
I know I'm not the center of the
universe
But you keep spinning round me
just the same
I know I'm not the center of the
universe
But you keep spinning round me
just the same

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

I know I'm not the center of the
universe
But you keep spinning round me
just the same
I know I'm not the center of the
universe
But you keep spinning round me
just the same
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me

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

Why is everything so heavy?
Why is everything so heavy?

And, people start to say: why you don't talk to someone if you have a big problem? Read the lyrics of the third single of Linkin Park: TALK TO MY SELF.

Tell me what I gotta do
There's no getting through to
you
The lights are on but nobody's
home (nobody's home)
You say I can't understand
But you're not giving me a
chance
When you leave me, where do
you go? (Where do you go?)

All the walls that you keep
building
All this time that I spent chasing
All the ways that I keep losing
you

The truth is, you turn into
someone else
You keep running like the sky is
falling
I can whisper, I can yell
But I know, yeah I know, yeah I
know
I'm just talking to myself
Talking to myself
Talking to myself
But I know, yeah I know, yeah I
know
I'm just talking to myself

I admit I made mistakes
But yours might cost you
everything
Can't you hear me calling you
home?

All the walls that you keep
building
All this time that I spent chasing
All the ways that I keep losing
you

The truth is, you turn into
someone else
You keep running like the sky is
falling
I can whisper, I can yell
But I know, yeah I know, yeah I
know
I'm just talking to myself
Talking to myself
Talking to myself
But I know, yeah I know, yeah I
know
I'm just talking to myself

All the walls that you keep
building
All this time that I spent chasing
All the ways that I keep losing
you

The truth is, you turn into
someone else
You keep running like the sky is
falling
I can whisper, I can yell
But I know, yeah I know, yeah I
know
I'm just talking to myself
Talking to myself
Talking to myself
But I know, yeah I know, yeah I
know
I'm talking to myself

So WDYT? Still not enough? Here the clues. Read the lyrics of one of the songs on Linkin Park latest album: NOBODY CAN SAVE ME.

I'm dancing with my demons
I'm hanging off the edge
Storm clouds gather beneath
me
Waves break above my head
Head-first hallucination

I wanna fall wide awake now
You tell me it's alright
Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight
But nobody can save me now
I'm holding up a light
Chasing up the darkness inside
'Cause nobody can save me

Stared into this illusion
For answers yet to come
I chose a false solution
But nobody proved me wrong
Head-first hallucination

I wanna fall wide awake
Watch the ground giving way
now
You tell me it's alright
Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight
But nobody can save me now
I'm holding up a light
I'm chasing up the darkness
inside
'Cause nobody can save me

Been searching somewhere out
there
For what's been missing right
here (I wanna fall wide awake
now)
Been searching somewhere out
there
For what's been missing right
here

I wanna fall wide awake now
So tell me it's alright
Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight
And only I can save me now
I'm holding up a light
Chasing up the darkness inside
And I don't wanna let you down
But only I can save me!

Been searching somewhere out
there
For what's been missing right
here.

Here the one more sign from the latest album: ONE MORE LIGHT

Should've stayed, were there
signs, I ignored?
Can I help you, not to hurt,
anymore?
We saw brilliance, when the
world, was asleep
There are things that we can
have, but can't keep

If they say
Who cares if one more light goes
out
In the sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time
runs out
If a moment is all we are
Or quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes
out
Well I do

The reminders, pull the floor
from your feet
In the kitchen, one more chair
than you need, oh
And you're angry, and you
should be, it's not fair
Just 'cause you can't see it,
doesn't mean it isn't there

If they say
Who cares if one more light goes
out
In the sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time
runs out
If a moment is all we are
Or quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes
out
Well I do

Who cares if one more light goes
out
In the sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time
runs out
If a moment is all we are
Or quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes
out
Well I do
Well I do
