Chester Bennington’s Suicide Note found Linkin Park
Chester Bennington’s Suicide Note found in his songs: SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: We have listened to a lot of Linkin Park in the last few days including the new album “ONE MORE LIGHT” and we must admit we never realized that almost every song Chester ever sang was about the struggle to not kill himself. A lot of people talked bad about the new album because it wasn't a Rock Album but honestly as a singer the new album truly shows how incredible Chester really was. It also shows how deeply rooted his depression was.
Songs like "Heavy", "One More Light" and "No One Can Save Me" lyrically mapped out his suicidal plan. "Leave Out All The Rest" was basically a suicide note. These songs when truly listened to after his death are monumentally eerie. If you don't believe Chester Bennington killed himself then we suggest reading some Lyrics because it seems to be all he ever thought about.
It makes us wonder that if someone that famous who has a million eyes on their art and a million ears on their words can basically SCREAM for help and no one notices then how many people feel exactly the same way without anyone looking at their art? Think about it, if singing along with a person's feelings can't make you notice that there is a problem then what can? Most people's suicidal thoughts are not available in stores. This means we should all do more to reach out to friends that may not be having the easiest time.
Another thing is how Chester was treated by the only people he thought he had (his fans) before his death. When Linkin Park decided to remove the Hard Rock element to put a bigger focus on Chester's voice for the new album many fans turned their back on them. They were ridiculed on the internet, booed on stage and completely discarded by many who claimed to love them. Was the album bad? No it wasn't, it's actually really good. It was never given a real chance until now and now it's too late. Chester was proud of the new album, he gave you an incredible vocal performance for it and then was thrown to the wolves.
We all have a responsibility as humans to care for one another. Interactions should be about building each other up and trying to see the art and beauty in everything. We are so quick to react we never set down and actually take in what we are reacting to. To do better is the goal and I think we all can if we try. You have a friend right now that is barely hanging on, find them, reach out to them and let them know they are not alone in this world and that someone cares if they live or die. REST IN PEACE Chester.
