Top 10 Songs That Predicted Chester Bennington's Suicide
Chester Bennington was a talented man, and unfortunately, some of his songs predicted his suicide.
I'll be focusing on the lyrics that have a dark or sometimes suicidal tone to them.
If I missed a song that you think predicted his suicide, feel free to add it, and if you ever feel suicidal, you need to know that you're never alone.

In the Darkness
"I want to cut through my skin, and pull you within. My heart burns like the sun, as our flesh becomes one. In the darkness, my heart aches at the sight of you. Trembles and quakes within sight of you." It is depressing, but it also predicted his suicide like a majority of his songs.
-
Walking in Circles
"Quiet everyone's sleeping through life, afraid that their questions just might have answers. Quiet everyone's shut off their minds, so I'll turn on mine." In general, the song sounds like it's about depression, and it is very depressing to listen to.
-
Leave Out All the Rest
"When my time comes, forget the wrong I've done. Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed, and don't resent me and when you're feeling empty. Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest, leave out all the rest." I think those lyrics best explain themselves.
-
Given Up
"Stuck in my head again, feels like I'll never leave this place. There's no escape, I'm my own worst enemy."
-
My Suffering
"You kiss away all of my pain! You wash away these bitter stains! You are to blame my suffering!" It is dark as hell, and in general it seems like the warning signs were always present.

Inside of Me
"I feel like my time is slipping away (Every minute gone by seems like a day). I'll never get back the things I lost along the way."
-
Condemned
"Come on and beat me, I'm not a man. Go on and kill me, Condemned." It sounds like the song itself predicted his suicide.
-
Crawl Back In
"Sometimes I look at my own face, and I don't know who I am. I see a piece of everyone I know, buried underneath my skin."
