Description
When the lights go out and we open our eyes,out there in the silence, I'll be gone, I'll be gone.
Let the sun fade out and another one rise
Climbing through tomorrow, I'll be gone, I'll be gone.
I guess by now you all know what happened to Chester Bennington already. To think each one of us have at least that one Linkin Park's song that help us hold on through dark time, and yet Chester lost in the battle with depression, so I could see why everyone is confused, angry, and hurt right now, but there are other things that could have led him to this and we should at least remember what a beautiful soul he was. I made a mistake reading all those comment under announcement and gosh...the nastiness toward a recent decease is horrific. All the edgy wanna be kid, the holier than thou " I have depression too and I choose to live on" all chime in, and yet those people wonder why he choose to end himself at the same time. You all couldn't even say st nice toward him even when he is dead, then why so surprise to you that he choose to end his pain. Before you open your mouth and judge, please remember that he was a human being, a person was once sang these word:
Don't be afraid/ I've taken my beating
I've shared what I've made/ I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through/ I've never been perfect
But neither have you
So if you're asking me/ I want you to know
When my time comes / Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some/ Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me / And when you're feeling empty / Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
In that song, they were stare at the sun; but now, as his pain is over, I guess a soothing star sky would be better. After all those year, I hope Chester Bennington got the peace he deserve.

This is beautiful, but I favorite it for the words. You've done a fantastic job. I understand him doing what he did, and I'm glad to know someone like you is out there, too. People sometimes need called on their cruelty.
Thank You.

Thank you; human's cruelty never fail to amaze me. People told me it just dark humor and I need to toughen up, but I highly doubt that could solve anything. I could stand people make pun and meme just hours from death announcement and such, because people have difference ways to cope. But shame a person who commit suicide and act all high and mighty just because they think he had it easy and a life they all desired? Disgusting. If his life was all rose and wine, he wouldn't need to end himself like that.
I was shocked by his decision, but part of me take solace in the fact that whatever torment him in life, it's all over now. And the journey he had, it's help many other, whether charity of through songs. He deserve peace and rest.

I'm glad you think that way, but I would have preferred him to find solace in this life at least for a while more... and I can't help thinking he would have as well. I can't even imagine which sufferings he could be going through to come to such a decision (a decision I can't and don't want to judge, of course, but it's hard to agree with). It's just so, SO unfair.
(And I read that he committed suicide on Chris Cornell's birthday, who was a dear friend of him and had recently committed suicide as well: this detail, among others, seriously crushed me.)
Luckily I didn't see any of those stupid comments and meme you talk about: not sure I would have tolerated them. Seriously, I've been sad for the passing of many "celebrities", some of which I had even met in person, even if only for a few moments... but this was the first time I cried, and more than once.

It's not fair at all. In the fairy tale they teach us, the good guy always got the happy ending, but this time...I do know about his addiction, but he try to battle it and do all he can to not shove that image to his fan. And yet that was him that tormented to the point of taking this end, not the one who openly do drug or live a destructive life or already in ripe old age. I know I shouldn't devalue any human life, but I really wish that was some Insta hot model or whatever they are instead of him.
Thankfully, those didn't last long, I guess thank for the drama-free Chester life had. It's mostly the moral al mighty preach thing like "I have shit moment in my life and I have kid yet I pull through just fine" or "Look at how people only remember about Lp because some one die, look how many fake fan are posting their music". Both got my blood boiling

Yeah, those people have no idea of what they're talking about. I mean, one can think something like that, it's human, but no one should dare judge anyone's life based only on their own experiences. No one can truly know what others are going through, and what terrible fights they're fighting.

I admit I do have the moral almighty thought sometime, but speak it out loud? That took some dose of narcissistic and cruel. I do disagree and angry with some people decision with their life here and there... Butjudge somebody who already dead ? That off the limit for me

Though I've never been a fan of Linkin Park, I'm always sorry to hear about someone's death, and I'm also sorry that many people all around the world are suffering for of that. And this picture is beautiful .

Thank you; I guess that was because their songs were always talking about depression from day one, either the frustration of a teenager in Numb (especially who have tiger mother) or with oneself, and it help alot of people hold on; but the singer himself lost to the battle he help other fought so it struck their fan quite hard. Not to mention Chester Bennington had always appear as a positive person, uplifting other and join charity work, so honestly no one expect him to be the one who was suffering.

Of all people, he was the least expected to suicide...Of course their song always hint of depression from day one, but it's still heartbreaking so see an other case when people who help other fail their own battle

Thank you. I received the news just before I went to bed, the first site I read was TMZ, which make me wonder if it all just some public stunt or something. But then even wiki got the date. I don't know .....I just want to have something to remember him by, but I can't look at that face anymore, so I pick that song instead.
