Linkin Park - Heavy Lyrics






[Chester Bennington:]
I don't like my mind right now
Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary
Wish that I could slow things down
I wanna let go but there's comfort in the panic
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me
Yeah I drive myself crazy
'Cause I can't escape the gravity

I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
To so much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on

[Kiiara:]
Why is everything so heavy?
You say that I'm paranoid
But I'm pretty sure the world is out to get me
It's not like I make the choice
To let my mind stay so fucking messy
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning round me just the same
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning round me just the same

I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
To so much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?

[Chester Bennington:]
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning round me just the same

[Kiiara:]
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning round me just the same
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me

[Chester Bennington:]
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on

[Chester Bennington and Kiiara]:
To so much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?

Why is everything so heavy?

[Chester Bennington:]
Why is everything so heavy?

    It's a real punch in the gut knowing the person that helped you not to commit suicide commited suicide.

    J.... N....

    I felt that so fucking hard!.. My bestfriend killed herself this past June... 11 days after my 15th birthday...
    she just turned 18 on May 21st..
    She told me so many times to not harm myself because I mattered to alot of people, including her. And now she's just
    gone...

    J.... N....

    @Corey Myers OMG may she rest in peace..stay strong honey

  11. J.... L....

    It makes me wonder if he chose to do this song as he knew others go through Depression like his own, and wanted them to have a song from him. God I miss him, so so much.

  25. D.... y....

    This song is my favourite
    Linkin Park song.
    It relates so much.
    I've spent too much time jus watching this video n crying to it.

  26. N.... J....

    For everyone saying how the song means different now that Chester's gone, the song is the same, its just that you have realised its depth now when its too late.

  27. G.... ....

    Rest well brother

  28. R.... W....

    RIP Chester

  29. D.... P....

    S.... R....

    Girl I have never cried over someone like I did Chester 😭😭🖤🖤

  31. C.... ....

    It's scary that i feel so many things he says. I literally don't know how long you can maintain with crippling anxiety and depression. Thank God I'm getting help

  36. F.... C....

    Chester 🥺😓😢😭😭😭😭😭

  37. J.... 2....

    Why is everything so heavy RIP Chester 😔

  38. c.... ....

    RIP Chester. I will still be listening to Linkin Park in the new decade.

  39. 1.... ....

    I first heard this song on the radio when it first came out. I was on the fence about it, the tempo wasn't what I was used to but the lyrics had me. On the second listen I could get into it. The third time was the day Chester left us.
    RIP sir. Put your load down and rest.

  40. C.... E....

    This makes me so sad...this was a cry for help. Everybody criticized him when this song came out..and it didn't help his mental health. So many people feel this way, and no on realises it! Do you know how many people suffer from depression and anxiety? A LOT. People are hurting so badly, but they put on a brave face so no one knows... I hate that people are so ashamed of their emotions 😔 you're not the only one. You're not the only one slowly fighting yourself. I hate how people don't care about other people's feelings. Make someone feel better. I promise it helps. They may not admit it, but a single "I'm here for you" can make someone feel that much better ❤

  41. D.... W....

    What's meaning about this mv . Who knows?

  42. B.... K....

    Here I am again, to speak my words and let them be whatever anyone decides.


    I talked about this music video awhile ago. Nothing bad. I praised the music from the band, the words that were spoken, and felt deeply in my soul why this SOUND existed. I can feel for the lyrics though. After all we put a lot on our own self. Makes us feel odd, out of place, and obscure to the world.


    Why anyone wouldn't enjoy this refreshing take on life from their own problems in the past, that's beyond me.

  43. K.... M....

    😓😓😨😨 He killed himself.

    K.... M....

    Could have been murdered.
    Jus cause we're Told that he committed suicide, doesn't mean that it's actually true jus cause of words... People lie you know.
    Do you believe everything that you hear jus cause you heard it?

  44. M.... H....

    I has really become heavy for me

  45. �.... �....

    Самое страшное что это всё правда. Я чувствую тоже самое.

  46. s.... f....

    Read the Just for Today for recovery addicts for Dec 20th it says not to make yourself the center of the universe. Then u watch the video and you see how he was in a self help meeting and how he is dragging around the weight of all these problems. It was a crazy enlightening moment in my morning meditation.

  47. R.... N....

    VERY SAD, LISTENING TO LINKIN PARK EVER SINCE I WAS 14, 2005 AND NOW THERE IS NO MORE GOOD MUSIC THAT MAKES YOUR ARM HAIR SPIKE UP AND FILL YOUR WHOLE BODY WITH GOOSE BUMPS. SADLY MISSED

  48. K.... A....

    i love plz come again why u gone 💔💔💔💔💔

  49. H.... S....

    This is one of the best song's ever...haters go get a life

  50. A.... R....

    I think the negative reaction this song got may just have pushed him over the cliff

  51. R.... H....

    i was here when he was alive, i’ll stay here even after he’s died. i relate to Chester so much that it’s scary. I just hope i can could no longer than he did.

  52. H.... s....

    Chester:Why is everything so heavy
    Me:Looks at weight*
    Also me: I know how you feel

  53. C.... S....

    Every time I Liston to this song it hits me so hard, it is a million times harder to Liston to now

  54. �.... �....

    มันก็หนักเกินไปนะ สำหรับคนแบบกูแค่คนเดียว เผื่อใครมาเห็น...

  55. S.... R....

    You are not alone. Reach out. Please do. To anyone.

  56. I.... R....

    December, 2019. Anyone?

  57. A.... B....

    He wasn't 'acting' in this video. We just couldn't see.....

    A.... B....

    Ok mr philosopher

    A.... B....

    @The GangBrothers Nice trolling my friend

  58. B.... p....

    This song is strangely eerie

  59. S.... V....

    People it's not your fault that any of you couldn't hear Chester's cry for help.
    What happened was unfortunate but let's remember that we're fortunate because six friends came together to make music that helped us get through hard times and heal. *Stop blaming yourselves*

  60. I.... B....

    How could anyone hate this song😰. When I was about 10 I first heard this song I the radio. I fell In love with it. I heard it another time. I looked it up and then it became my favorite song. My mom asked who sang it and I said Linkin park. She told me some songs she knew from them and I loved them. These people are such legends. I found out he died In 2019 😂. When I heard about it I was shocked even tho I was 2 years later. Today I figured out how he died. I thought he just died of a heart attack or somthing but I was just singing a song of them randomly inform of my friends parents and Th he asked how I knew them. They started playing songs from them and they said he was depressed and he hung him self. That made me feel so sad. RIP chester we miss you.

  61. T.... D....

    💔Depression so heavy 💔

  74. c.... ....

    When I show my missus this song she is definitely going to break up with me.

  75. t.... t....

    I'm not afraid to admit I'm a grown man and that I cry because of the burdens in my life it's Soo heavy. I'm all alone Chester and their is comfort in your voice just sing ...

    t.... t....

    You're not alone brother

    t.... t....

    @discdawg09 even though I have my kids n girl I'm gradually losing ground, bout to be homeless lose the family I created about to lose my job because I'm lashing out I guess what's next sir .... 🤐😴🤔😇😈🤫☠️☠️☠️🙈

    t.... t....

    Know that you aren't alone my friend. I suffer from anxiety and depression too..it's been a battle but we will get through it. I don't know you man but I'm here for you and love you man. Stay strong bro.

  76. M.... L....

    This is perhaps brave, but despite his horrible fate this still isn't a good album, nor song. This is like AC/DC making electronica, Justin Bieber trying his hand at punk music, Chris Tomlin doing black metal...it just doesn't work...doesn't even sound remotely like them. If they wanted to do something like this they shoulda made a side project and no one would be upset.

    M.... L....

    Linkin Park never was one genre. They didn't have to stick to heavier music to appease people like yourself.

    M.... L....

    @Bobby D And I appreciate that about them! But HT and Meteora was by far their most creative and best sound, and every other year they ditched it for something completely different. I don't mind experimentation but I can hardly call this the same band as it was back in 03. OML wouldn't have irked so many people if it was a one off sound, but they ditched the sound that was literally THE reason people like them and never returned.

  77. K.... A....

    R.I.P 💔💔💔

  78. G.... f....

    It’s so awful

  79. T.... L....

  80. T.... H....

    Life’s heavy, I really want to destroy my room like that but everything is bolted to the walls cause I’m like this. Why is everything so heavy?

    T.... H....

    I hope you'll find your way in this world, it'll be okay I promise

  81. y.... i....

    I don't like my mind right now

  82. T.... P....

    Freed from this mortal coil

  83. H.... L....
