My emptiness is no longer serving in the Army it was 24 yrs of my life and now I feel empty like i’m no longer needed. sorry it’s just how I feel. and yea I just wanted to be part of something bigger Like my father did in Vietnam and my grandfather in WW2. I still live the Army values but still it’s how I feel.
I’m still here 
…
The strong kind…
I nearly fell to the emptiness machine aka nearly un alive my self via pain killer pills via 25 pills
In my current mindset for my life, as much as I loved Chester, this song kind of hit home. Going through a divorce that hit me hard, opened up about a lot of mental health issues and how I spent money to cope, which is my fault, should’ve talked about them when they popped back up, but got left 3 days later. its been almost 7 months and still feel its my fault in some ways, other ways i can look at the relationship as a whole and realize that i fell for the “promise of the emptiness machine” i gave a lot in the last 5 years and almost always got met with we cant do that unless it helped her out. Constant trying didn’t help, even after it was decided that was how it was gonna be, i tried and it was a struggle. Nothing has changed and “finally,” i guess, signing papers tomorrow, and I’m not excited about it. but after months of watching videos from this channel decided to say something on this song. Love Y’all.
Your words were powerful. ‘‘your goals doen’t fill you because you’re so used to looking at your life like it’s lacking’’. I heard this numerous times from older people, to be grateful. Your words made a lot of sense to me. I don’t feel depressed, but these words gave me new found excitement to be grateful.
I’ve never been a particular fan of Linkin Park - not from any dislike, just I never really got into the music before. But with all the controversy and some friends discussing this song, I gave it a listen, and I love it. It just really resonates with me, and I wasn’t sure I understood why until now. You’re thoughts on the meaning behind the song, or rather one of many valid interpretations, hold true for me. So thank you for that.
I have advance heart/desease. So much for this life.
DANG! Chills followed by tears. Happy tears. She is ineffably right. No words. To mix fandoms, it’s like she is fulfilling the promise of Star Wars’ Rey in the absence of Chester’s Luke. BUT this time it’s not a bunch of corporate money-grubbing bullshit. She is WORTHY! Instead of terrified about Linkin Park ruining its legacy, I am thrilled to see Linkin Park’s new progress!
Emptieness is just a part of life. I live inside my hollow soul.
I am a clinical counselor and I just recently found your videos. I love what you guys are doing. LP has been a big part of my life!
I 100% think this was a message to Linkin Park fans and the weight of the role to find a new singer that Chester would approve of.
The people who compare Chester and Emily need to realize that Emily isn’t trying to overshadow Chester, the remaining members of Linkin Park wanted to continue to make music together, but, rather than hire a sound-alike and pretend nothing changed, they wanted to respect the fact that Chester is no longer with us and is irreplaceable, so, they went with a female vocalist for the band’s new direction.
This song has helped me cope with so much the last month. I white knuckled everything while trying to hold everything together.
The new record is going to be bonkers. Both songs so far are insane. Much love T!!
