Morning,
Guys…
So, when
Linkin Park frontman, Chester Bennington off himself a year ago this month, it
was a shock to the world, but should it’ve been?
Look at
these lyrics for “Leave Out All the Rest:”
I dreamed I
was missing
You were so
scared
But no one
would listen
Cause no one
else cared
After my
dreaming
I woke with
this fear
What am I
leaving
When I'm
done here?
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
And 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
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
And 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
Forgetting
All the hurt
inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending
Someone else
can come and save me from myself
I can't be
who you are
When my time
comes
Forget the
wrong that I've done
Help me
leave behind some reasons to be missed
And 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
Forgetting
All the hurt
inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending
Someone else
can come and save me from myself
I can't be
who you are
I can't be
who you are
I’ve always
told Joey from the first time we heard it in ’07 that it sounded like a suicide
note in song. Hell, it opens with a
dream of not being around and being isolated, then, it transitions to wondering
about legacy followed by asking for forgiveness…hmmm. Finally, he wants to be remembered.
Reports were
there were no warnings, because he left a vacay with fam to do the deed, but I beg
to differ…there was 10 years WORLDWIDE warning…the suicide of his best friend,
Chris Cornell, was just the last nail in the coffin.
Not
everybody gives warnings, but most do…even subtle.
Let’s talk.
Be good to
each other.
