"So don't apologize, I'm losing what I don't deserve"

that line probably hit me the hardest.

May chester find the peace he never knew on earth.

[venspeedruns]

When i listened to this song after he died, the part where he says, "don't apologise, I'm losing what i don't deserve" really hit me hard. RIP Chester Bennington.

[CommandersReview]

That's not just a song, that's a piece of art.

[samuelflorescarrasco]

I don't care what people say. ATS was one of the most beautiful and emotional albums LP made, and Burning In The Skies one of their best videos even now, two albums later.

Lyrics...
I used the dead wood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
And poured it out in an ocean of debris

Oh, I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve

We held our breathe when the clouds began to form
But you were lost in the beating of the storm
And in the end, we were made to be apart
In separate chambers of the human heart

Oh, I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
It's in the blackened bones
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve

I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
The blame is mine alone
For bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
What I don't deserve, oh-whoa
What I don't deserve

Let's be honest. This album was at least a decade ahead of its time and more and more people are starting to realize what we already knew.

[ayush_bose]

Linkin Park isn't a band. It's a therapy 🌟

[reubenpayne]

God damn 11 years later and this song STILL slaps.

I'll be honest, I never comment on YouTube videos simply because of how quickly people either take it way too personally and get butt hurt or start to rag on the person who posted the comment in the first place. However, as I was reading through the comments of this video, I found one that was posted 8 months ago that made me think about what we consider "good music."
Back in 2011-2012, Linkin Park released this album with no regard for it being radio friendly. After its release, they were criticized not just by the media, but by their fans as well. They criticized Linkin Park for "selling out" and for doing something different from what everyone is used to them doing. They (LP) did something that everyone, at the time, was couldn't do. They created a story using strong lyrics and tones with each song building up to the next one, each with a new part of the tale to tell.
Me personally, I've been a fan of LP ever since my cousin showed me the video for Bleed It Out somewhere in 07-08 (mind you, I was probably 9 or 10 at the time). I remember listening to this album when it came out and all the backlash that came with it. At the time, I didn't understand the lyrics, all I knew was that they meant something to me. A couple months ago, I bought the album again on my phone and actually listened to the lyrics, from start to end. No breaks, no pauses. Just one song after the other. Afterwards, I actually took the time to look up the speeches they use in some of the songs. I listened to the tale of the escalation of war with each song sharing the next part of the story, slowly coming to the climax that is the detonation of the atomic bomb in "The Catalyst" (I also realized that LP used this album as an answer to the criticism). Mind you, I didn't realize this stuff until after I read that comment.
After that album, Linkin Park has deviated from what the media and society deem "appropriate music" and redefined themselves. Every album receives a fair amount of criticism, such as their recent album "One More Light." The thing most people don't think about music in general is why. Why do artists (music) create albums with strong themes that are deemed inappropriate? The answer is simple. So they can be different from the herd. And the obvious one: to express themselves. That's why they made this album. To not only redefine LP, but to separate from mainstream media.
To those of you who took the time to read this, I commemorate you. At the time of me typing this it is Sunday, September 24, 2017. Feel free to leave your thoughts below, or don't. It's up to you really. I just wanted to share my thoughts given all the negative comments I've read.

We have lost something we did not deserve... R.I.P Chester

[abelricardoperezolan]

A family worried for news,
Boys playing in a party,
A young girl studying,
An innocence Child playin',
An in loved couple,
An angry girl for her Body,
An Disconsolated old man,
All of us will suffer cause the problems on the world😢

[lpcoffeelove]

‘But in the end we were made to be apart, In separate chambers of the human heart’- best line ever

[vscitizen]

That's funny to see that when the song was released, the comments were full of insult and hate against Linkin Park (old vs new and all those messy shits). But now, more than 6 years later, every one is like "omg this is a true piece of art". And even tho I completely agree, it makes me laught

[Chris_]

By some distance, this is one of their most underrated songs.

[brandonmaddox]

Im swimming in the smoke,
Of bridges I have burned,
So don’t apologize,
I’m losing what I don’t deserve

Something about those lyrics always hit me, these guys had a beautiful talent to take vague lyrics and make you feel like they pertained to you, I forever worship this band

We miss you Chester

LYRICS
I use the dead wood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
And poured it out in an ocean of debris
Ooh, I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
We held our breathe when the clouds began to form
But you were lost in the beating of the storm
But in the end we were made to be apart
In separate chambers of the human heart
Ooh, I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
It's in the blackened bones
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
The blame is mine alone
For bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
What I don't deserve, ooh woah
What I don't deserve
I use the dead wood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies

[DanHercock-lxee]

Oh my god! I'm losing my wife to cancer, and I've always felt like I didn't deserve her. This song sums it up, and makes me feel strangely better. I will always love you, my babygirl ❤

[disharoy]

Why is this song so damn underrated? It's one of the best things in the
