[InterstellarShieldmaiden]

From an angry teenager to an understanding adult, I've evolve like this band. That is why I'll always love this band. We are like twins.

[heronofalexandria]

This time Mike's singing and chester is doing the rapping
Damn its so good and refreshing

[lmbd]

Mike Shinoda is a multi talented artist.

[TrailofBen]

It's been 3 years now... still shattered and broken...

"After a while you may forget
But just in case the memories cross your mind
You couldn't know this when I left
Under the fire of your angry eyes
I never wanted to say goodbye"

[Lara-rrvz]

Dear Chester,
you were right. we don't understand yet but we want you to know that we loved you then and we love you now. i don't believe in a god but i do hope that you're in a better place now - how you deserve to be.
we owe you so much more than this little letter could say but i want you to unterstand how many lifes you have saved and how many tears you have dried.
Rest In Peace, Chester.
Only the best for you.

[Mike Shinoda:]
Watching the wings cut through the clouds
Watching the raindrops blinking red and white
Thinking of you back on the ground
There with a fire burning in your eyes
I only halfway apologized

[Mike Shinoda:]
And I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
Sometimes things refuse
To go the way we planned
Oh I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There will be a day
That you will understand
You will understand

[Mike Shinoda:]
After a while you may forget
But just in case the memories cross your mind
You couldn't know this when I left
Under the fire of your angry eyes
I never wanted to say goodbye

[Mike Shinoda:]
So I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
Sometimes things refuse
To go the way we planned
Oh I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There will be a day
That you will understand
You will understand

[Chester Bennington:]
Yeah, stop telling 'em to pump the bass up
Tried to call home but nobody could wait up
Switch your time zones can't pick the pace up
I just passed out by the time you wake up
Best things come to those who wait
And it's bound to get rough on any road you take
But don't you ever have a doubt and make no mistake
I can't wait to come back when I'm going away

[Mike Shinoda (Chester Bennington):]
So I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There are things we have to do that we can't stand
Oh I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There will be a day that you will understand
Oh I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There are things we have to do that we can't stand
(Things we have to do that we can't stand)
Oh I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There will be a day that you will understand
You will understand [3x]

[rocknroller]

Im glad i didn't listen to other "fans" and actually listened to the album. Idk what they're complaining about. This album is amazing. Chill yet emotional. Love it!!

[tsukkikei]

One of the very rare cases where Mike and Chester swapped the roles and I also love it

[D_Mike_CM]

Yeah, we know Mike wrote the song, but the whole damn album sounds like Chester telling us:
"I'm sorry, I give up, I hope you understand."

We finally understand...

Rest in peace Chester Bennington, thanks for everything.

[alessiadomi]

this album is so underrated, people don't know how to appreciate this masterpiece

[echo]

This song is criminally underrated, it deserves much more recognition and views

[Benz]

"I can't wait to come back when I'm going away."

Thank you for everything Chester. We miss you and love you dearly.❤

Lyrics:

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
Watching the wings cut through the clouds
Watching the raindrops blinking red and white
Thinking of you back on the ground
There with a fire burning in your eyes
I only halfway apologized

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
And I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
Sometimes things refuse
To go the way we planned
Oh I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There will be a day
That you will understand
You will understand

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
After a while you may forget
But just in case the memories cross your mind
You couldn't know this when I left
Under the fire of your angry eyes
I never wanted to say goodbye

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
So I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
Sometimes things refuse
To go the way we planned
Oh I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There will be a day
That you will understand
You will understand

[Bridge: Chester]
Yeah, stop telling 'em to pump the bass up
Tried to call home but nobody could wait up
Switch your time zones can't pick the pace up
I just passed out by the time you wake up
Best things come to those who wait
And it's bound to get rough on any road you take
But don't you ever have a doubt and make no mistake
I can't wait to come back when I'm going away

[Outro: Mike & (Chester)]
So I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There are things we have to do that we can't stand
Oh I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There will be a day that you will understand
Oh I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There are things we have to do that we can't stand
(Things we have to do that we can't stand)
Oh I'll be sorry for now
That I couldn't be around
There will be a day that you will understand
You will understand (x3)

[mordiizationful]

There were so many signs, kind of strange to listen to this song now.
Rest in peace Chester Bennington, and thank you for all the good memories.

[tallasianperson]

Anyone notice that Mike did the singing this time around, while Chester did the rapping? A nice little twist to their usual pattern :D

[SantiagoLoja-nx]

Linkin Park was never just a band.
It was one of the bigest Chapters in our history book.

[Whodat__whodat]

This song
No
This album is SO underrated and people dont know how to appreciate it

[asiabrown]

Still hard to believe that Chester is gone he left us with music that will forever cut deep. The day his passing was announced I’ll never forget the sadness I felt that day I didn’t want to believe it. Just wish he knew how much his life mattered and that he wasn’t alone in his feelings and this battle we call life. R.I.P Chester we will never forget you, you were a light in the darkness ❤🥹

[dssolve]

Iridescent

Lost in the echo
One more light
Valentine's day
Easier to run

You become a part of me
One step closer
Until It's gone

Read the first letter of each song title

[emmap]

Chester’s part in this song just breaks my heart. “I can’t wait to go back when I’m going away” 😭😥
