[Phoenix_]

The dark cyberpunk-like anime video of this song really added to the grim atmosphere and vibe.

[CarlosReyes-kuub]

It's funny how the brain fools you and you can still hear Chester singing, Chester's vocals are half the song

[Linkinm]

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

2:11 That part of the instrumental makes my skin crawl.

[fishgui]

Never noticed how good are the strings on this song. Awesome!

[namaboku]

Can't overemphasize just how revolutionary this production felt at the time—Mike has mentioned that even then, he knew that "'Breaking the Habit' had to be a single at some point so that people knew in terms of an artistic statement that the band wasn’t going to just be about screaming and loud guitars, " and it really feels like a cornerstone in the LP discography in so many ways. Absolute banger.

I could still hear Chester's voice clearly in my head as I was playing this 🥲 Love you Linkin Park.

For me Meteora will always be the best. The time the places the people. You had Andy mix the album and you went to the most prestige record place on earth. You had a real orchestra playing for breaking the habit. The artwork for the album was the most epic thing I've ever seen. The making the album footage was insane. The music videos was peak the best you ever made. This was best of the old Linkin park and I can't wait for the new era. Chester would be proud.

I loved Drawing (the Demo Instrumental), so I knew I would love this.

[limaalphavictor]

This instrumental is eerie in many ways, and it makes you feel so many emotions that are hard to keep inside, eventually making you burst, breaking the habit. This band is different

[MSPMapper]

I was listening to Linkin Park songs and YouTube recommended this to me at the perfect time

[ramadeuko]

Goosebumps strings arrangement.This is why Im obsessed with Linkin Park since 7 years old. They open my eyes about classical, orchestral with Japan vibe fusion with Nu metal.

[saddestdayever]

As much as I love everyone saying Chester's singing is the best part of the song, I hate that no one recognizes the AMAZING OUT OF THIS WORLD string arrangements by Mike! That's the actual best part of the song!! 😭

[xXEliteTNCXx]

Damn didn't think these instrumentals would hit this hard. Miss him still

[aashishnakarmi]

I just sang every single intrumental out as soon as i saw it uploaded❤

I miss Linkin Park. Every instrumental and A Capella only brings me further into denial of Chester being gone. Breaking The Habit is my favorite of the 100+ works of art that Linkin Park has made. Listening to this album is a surreal experience nowadays. It can make you any emotion. Don’t Stay gets you pumped up. Somewhere I Belong is just a masterpiece to preface the rest of the album. And then Lying From You, oh my GOD. NOW THIS IS WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT. Then… Hit The Floor. The first Meteora song I ever heard and it is just perfection. Easier To Run is also absolutely incredible. It’s like the Meteora version of Crawling, I love it. And after that… what’s after that… FAINT. An awesome song that deserves its popularity. Then we get to the Big 4. My 4 favorite songs off Meteora, and they’re all together. My 3rd favorite, up next is Figure.09. What an incredible time it is every single listen. Then… you hear the buildup into the explosion and BANG. Breaking The Habit, my absolute favorite song of all time. It is just crazy how well it is done. The lyrics are sad, angry, and realistic at the same time. It is truly a perfect masterpiece. But it’s not over, my 2nd favorite song… From The Inside is the heaviest on Meteora, while having my favorite instrumental off the album. It’s great. Then, the last but not least of the Big 4. Nobody’s Listening is so unique and I think it shows off how Mike is amazing too. Aside from High Voltage, I think this song showcases his skills the second best in Linkin Park’s entire discography. And it’s not done? Session is just such a great time. This just shows that even without Chester and Mike’s mindblowing vocal performances, Linkin Park can still find a way to portray emotions with a song. But then… Numb. This truly transcends everything Linkin Park is about. Emotion, heart, and being awesome to listen to. This used to be my favorite song by a landslide. Then I listened to more Linkin Park. Thanks so much Mike, Brad, Pheonix, Rob, MR and especially Chester. Also, Mark, Scott, and Kyle were never forgotten either.

Rest in peace Chester fly high we will all miss you😢

[ultimakey]

The only song that never fails to make me cry..

[nickd.]

I think the world would benefit from at least an EP's worth of material of this sound. This has always been one of LP's most unique songs and this instrumental is one of my fav's from LP's entire catalogue. 🤘
