Zitate und Sprüche von Chester Bennington

There are always going to be encounters that you kind of wish went differently. But the average fan really isn't fanatical.

I have been able to tap into all the negative things that can happen to me throughout my life by numbing myself to the pain so to speak and kind of being able to vent it through my music.

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

Sharp edges have consequences, I
Guess that I had to find out for myself
Sharp edges have consequences, now
Every scar is a story I can tell

'Don't you run with scissors, son
You're gonna hurt someone'
Mama told me look before you leap
Always think before you speak
And watch the friends you keep

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away

When you were standing in the wake of devastation
When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
And the cataclysm raining down
Insides crying 'Save me now'

But no one would listen
'Cause no one else cared

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

I tried so hard and got so far
But in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all.
But in the end, it doesn't even matter

Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is the best.

The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumping and the joint began to swing
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock

You don't need me to tell you what's gone wrong
You know what's going on
And it seems to me we've not cared enough
Or confided in each other at all
It seems like we've all got our backs against the wall

Time waits for nobody
Time waits for no one
We've got to trust one another
Or we'd have no more future at all

And she was blinded by the light
Oh, cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tight, but she'll make it alright

Live music is better.

Let's play it f*cking loud!

In her own good land here she's been abused
She's been burned, dishonored, denied an' refused
And the government for which she stands
Has scandalized throughout the land
And she's getting thread bare, and she's wearin' thin
But she's in good shape, for the shape she's in
Cause she's been through the fire before
And I believe she can take a whole lot more

Of emotions, of love, of breakup, of love and hate and death and dying, mama, apple pie, and the whole thing. It covers a lot of territory, country music does.

You can't go through life and leave things the way they are. We can all make a difference, and if I die today, I know I made a difference.

Life is too short to have anything but delusional notions about yourself.
