On a boring day as an 11 year old, I fired up my original Xbox to find that the previous owner had left Meteora on its hard drive. I fell in love with this and Somewhere I Belong, before spending my teens listening to this bands exceptional music. And now, today, Chester has passed away. Thank you Linkin Park and thank you Chester, for enlightening the lives of millions. You will be missed.

Easily one of their best songs. Chester's lyrics are masterpieces

[Mohan-jjkc]

Linkin Park is like one of those bands you can't determine which song is the best because they are all so great.

[Chorus] (Chester)
It's easier to run,
replacing this pain with something numb.
It's so much easier to go,
then face all this pain here all alone.

[Verse 1] (Chester)
Something has been taken from deep inside of me.
A secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see.
Wounds so deep they never show, they never go away.
Like moving pictures in my head, for years and years they've played.

(Mike)
If I could change, I would.
Take back the pain, I would.
Retrace every wrong move I made, I would.
If I could stand up and take the blame, I would.
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would.

(Mike and Chester)
If I could change, I would.
Take back the pain, I would.
Retrace every wrong move I made, I would.
If I could stand up and take the blame, I would.
I would take all my shame to the grave.

[Chorus] (Chester)
It's easier to run,
replacing this pain with something numb.
It's so much easier to go,
then face all this pain here all alone.

[Verse 2] (Chester)
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past.
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have.
Sometimes I think of letting go, and never looking back.
And never moving forward so there'd never be a past.

(Mike)
If I could change, I would.
Take back the pain, I would.
Retrace every wrong move I made, I would.
If I could stand up and take the blame, I would.
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would.

(Mike and Chester)
If I could change, I would.
Take back the pain, I would.
Retrace every wrong move I made, I would.
If I could stand up and take the blame, I would.
I would take all my shame to the grave.

[Bridge] (Chester)
Just washing it aside.
All of the helplessness inside.
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
is so much simpler than change.

[Chorus] (Chester)
It's easier to run,
replacing this pain with something numb.
It's so much easier to go,
then face all this pain here all alone.

It's easier to run,
(Mike)
If I could change, I would.
Take back the pain, I would.
Retrace every wrong move I made.
(Chester)
It's so much easier to go,
(Mike and Chester)
If I could change, I would.
Take back the pain, I would.
Retrace every wrong move I made, I would.
If I could stand up and take the blame, I would.
I would take all my shame to the grave.

The music in the beginning .... takes me to another world..

[ChiseledAdonis]

Linkin Park never missed with these songs man... All CLASSICS

[williamgabriel]

its funny how getting older makes you relate even more to these songs. Once an anguished teenager, now a drunk loner. Everything hurts even more now.

[lgchamp]

*“Never moving forward so there’d never be a past”*- those lyrics hit me hard

[nialaacm]

This is, possibly, their best song ever.

[Sammukh]

This song is bringing more tears now, knowing that he literally might have meant every word.

[amirianozakwano]

When I was at my darkest place in my life, the song Easier To Run was my go to song. My dad left my mom, my 2 younger brothers and I. My mom moved out to live with her aunt and my youngest brother. My other younger brother and I live on our own.

4 years later my mom was diagnosed with cervical cancer, suffered for 2 years then passed. I had to shoulder the responsibility for my brothers. I wanted to run away, I wanted to just disappear forever.

I felt no one is there for me to lean on. Work was tough, when my mom died, I got 2 days off. On my second day, HR called to ask if I’m coming to work the next day. They didn't even ask how am I or do I need more time. They want me back to work the next day. I wanted to leave work but I needed money, I needed my commission. I felt so small and useless.

I dragged my feet to work, I dragged myself to just wake up. I force myself to put a smile. During that period, I isolated myself from friends, just wanted and wished I was just gone. I’m scared if I was gone, who would take care of my brothers.

Listening to Linkin Park really kept me going. Chester, you save lives more than you can ever imagine.

Also, men, sometimes, it’s nice to open up and just cry to someone. I used to always thought I needed to be strong.

For me, this is the most beautiful song by Linkin Park.

[estilorihri]

I've cried so many times listening to this.

[jameswilliamfreke]

You can hear the pain that’s trapped inside Chester throughout this song! I wouldn’t know how extremely painful and difficult it would have been to hide secrets from people like Chester did. Mental illness is a knife fight in the dark! Trapped within yourself and nowhere to hide! It’s not easy struggling with schizophrenia! I wish you still were here Chester. 😢

[TrugginsOFFICIAL]

This song should have had a music video.

[fathommofficial]

Rest easy, Chester. Know that we all grew up on this shit, man. You got us through it. I'm sorry you had to pay the price. You'll be missed forever.

"Rob's playing on this song is extraordinary. He found a way to make this complex drum pattern sound easy and tasteful. Plus, he recorded it in only a few takes. On another note, the verse lyrics emerged from a free-writing exercise performed by Chester: He wrote them to no music, no beat. Mike and Don liked them a lot, and the three guys decided that this was the song to work them into." - Linkin Park, according to Linkinpedia

Wishing you're in a better place now Chester Bennington. Know you helped an entire generation and influenced our lives <3

[absolutebuffoon]

This song is not only a masterpiece, but a cry for help that was tragically overlooked.

[dhess]

Forever one of my favorite songs, miss you Chester RIP

[gwayns]

When you think about Chester's past, it's definitely sad, powerful and deep in emotion.. I understand that it brings him bad memories and he doesn't want to sing it anymore in live..
