As if people are dissing the music video for Lost by Linkin Park. What the actual fuck? First of all, listen to the damn lyrics. The lyrics are about being stuck in your head, lost in your own mind, unable to escape your past and all the wrongful things that have happened. Being caught up in mess. The music video is “all over the place” on purpose because it’s depicting what the inside of someone’s mind is like. As someone who suffers with depression, listening to the lyrics is incredibly therapeutic and the music video stood out for me because it’s quite literally how I see everything in my own head. Confused, blurry, messy. Nothing is perfect in regards to the animation because nothing is perfect in the mind of the person singing the song or the person resonating with the words.
Also besides the meaning behind it all, have some fucking compassion for the fact that Mike and the guys didn’t have to release anything else in regards to Chester. They could have kept it for themselves but they’re absolute legends and gave it to us because they knew it would be important for fans to hear it. Be fucking grateful.
AND if Chester was alive rn, he wouldn’t give a fly fuck what anyone has to say about it. So you’re wasting your time.
Sometimes I think about how Linkin Park is only seen as this angsty band for "Crawling", "Numb", and of course "In the End", and it's kinda sad. There's a lot of depth to LP's music that's a lot of healing from toxic relationships, mental health, and moving on to bigger and better things (that's what I'm getting out of their music at least lol). None of their work is going to go back to their first album "Hybrid Theory", which is stated recently by Mike Shinoda who mentioned that they've moved on from that time of Meteora/Hybrid Theory. They are and always will be an experimental band, especially seen in "A Thousand Suns" album.
If you only know Linkin Park for the first few songs that are bangers but not for you, I highly recommend "Good Goodbye", "The Catalyst", "Powerless", "Leave Out All The Rest" and "Guilty All The Same". All are completely different sounding from one another and are all from different albums.
Please check them out, it's worth looking into ^-^
I'm lost in these memories
Living behind my own illusion
Lost all my dignity
Living inside my own confusion
I try to keep this pain inside
But I will never be alright
Lost by Linkin Park resonated with me because the lyrics are quite honestly what I’m going through right now mentally. Chester never failed to put into words how I feel when I never could. Thank you always, Chester. We miss you. 🖤
