Breaking the Habit (Official Music Video) [HD UPGRADE] – Linkin Park

This song help so many people battle depression. Chester & Linkin Park was the therapy so many of us needed.

After hearing of Chester Bennington's suicide this song has a different meaning to me now. Rest in peace you were a legend man

I am breaking the habit today Chester. I got my first job after battling depression and PTSD since my childhood. I am 28 today and need to listen to you today. Edit: Love to you guys who understand our very lonely battle we all fight together. Its going great and I am doing good, I wish health and success to every kind soul wishing me well. :)

2009: That's a really cool song. 2024: This is an absolute masterpiece.

His body is gone. But his voice stays in our head. He lives there now.

one man can save millions, but millions couldn't save one.

I love that they animated this music video

Anybody here in 2024?

The saddest part in all of this is remembering all the critics who dismissed songs and lyrics like this as nothing but Chester whining or seeking attention. The Man had genuine depression and suffered profoundly in his life, yet it was disparaged by blithering idiots who wanted to dismiss it or assert the fact they themselves had a more positive disposition. That perennial emptiness and soulless attitude is holding us all back.

The most horrible feeling in the world is that you failed to save the person who saved you. A hero saves millions of people, but who will save the hero?

Gone but not forgotten. I miss you chester.

“I don’t want the be the one the battles always choose because inside I realize I’m the one that’s confused” That line is what made this song resonate so much in me. This is more than a song. This is a story of a battle we all face. Whoever reads this, you’re not alone.

"I'll never fight again and this is how it ends" Chester's scream is piercing right through my soul like no other voice ever did.

What surprised me most about this song was that it was Mike Shinoda who wrote the lyrics. Reportedly Chester himself was shocked by how closely the song reflected his own feelings, and he had difficulty singing it at first. The lyrics are so simple, yet they feel very real. Mike did a wonderful job.

For years this song was my song because I thought it could explain my bout of depression, my desire to hurt myself and end all the pain. After Chester died I started listening differently. I no longer think it's about understanding pain, but a warning to face it. I started treatments with therapists, reconnected ties and did everything I could. I haven't had such a deep crisis in years, don't want to hurt myself anymore. Of course, my mind still has the habit of still thinking horrible things sometimes, but Chester gave me the strength to fight and say "I'm breaking the habit tonight". Thank you Linkin Park.

This song and Numb made me understand my brother better. He really tried to communicate with us through Linkin Park's songs. They said everything he wanted to say himself but couldn't. We almost lost him. He is still around. I wish I could do more to help him fight his own demons. But one can do as much as he lets us do.

Just paying my respects, all of the sudden the lyrics mean so much more. RIP Chester, you were so much more than an artist

Chester Bennington R. I. P 1976 - 2017 Forever in our hearts.

whoever animated this did a phonomenal job... and of course, chester was too. rest in peace.

Literally crying rn for the first time in awhile with an actual reason... God, I wish I had met this man. I wish I could've given him a simple hug and told him everything would be okay. I wish I could've told him to keep fighting. To keep being the amazing human being he is. We miss you, Chester 💔😭
