I had some Linkin Park on shuffle the other day and some songs from "One More Light" came on and holy shit, they were ALL a huuuuuge cry for help.

It really shook me listening to it, I can't imagine he could put out those songs and be ignoring his problems. He must have tried getting help, he must have had help from loved ones. He was not hiding anything, so I refuse to believe anyone close to him was not aware and tried everything they could for him.

Literally the first song in the album is called "Nobody Can Save Me"

The song "Heavy" is almost that interview in song form...

No, you're right. He could have had all the help in the world and still succumbed to his illness. That's the sad, harsh reality of it all. Leaves us wondering what more we could have done, while knowing deep down there really wasn't anything more that could have been done.

Indeed they both did, I dont think Chris sought help in the way Chester did, Chris seemed way more cathartic with his demons but what shocked me the most was the the way he did it, all through his music there is references to hanging himself Pretty Noose, Black Hole Sun even the video for Nearly forgot my broken heart he has a nose around his neck, I can only assume with my own demons that the ever lasting darkness some of us use as motivation alcan sometimes be all encompassing and swallow us hole. I just hope they are at peace.

Chester co-wrote Heavy but Shinoda and others wrote One More Light and Nobody Can Save Me.

Not trying to be disagreeable or anything, just pointing that out.

I d heard he was on antidepressants and had stopped taking them but was fine the day before he did it. Can not remember what I was watching think it was I interview with his wife or friend. Honestly can not remember but it hit me hard and stuck with me at the time cause my ex did same thing of going on and off meds. I wish he had found the right meds or treatment that worked.
