"So don't apologize, I'm losing what I don't deserve" that line probably hit me the hardest.

That's not just a song, that's a piece of art.

Let's be honest. This album was at least a decade ahead of its time and more and more people are starting to realize what we already knew.

May chester find the peace he never knew on earth.

I don't care what people say. ATS was one of the most beautiful and emotional albums LP made, and Burning In The Skies one of their best videos even now, two albums later.

We have lost something we did not deserve... R.I.P Chester

When i listened to this song after he died, the part where he says, "don't apologise, I'm losing what i don't deserve" really hit me hard. RIP Chester Bennington.

Lyrics... I used the dead wood to make the fire rise The blood of innocence burning in the skies I filled my cup with the rising of the sea And poured it out in an ocean of debris Oh, I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve We held our breathe when the clouds began to form But you were lost in the beating of the storm And in the end, we were made to be apart In separate chambers of the human heart Oh, I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve It's in the blackened bones Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve The blame is mine alone For bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve What I don't deserve, oh-whoa What I don't deserve

my favourite part 0:00-4:15

‘But in the end we were made to be apart, In separate chambers of the human heart’- best line ever

Linkin Park isn't a band. It's a therapy 🌟

God damn 11 years later and this song STILL slaps.

No matter what, Linkin Park Forever

I'll be honest, I never comment on KZfaq videos simply because of how quickly people either take it way too personally and get butt hurt or start to rag on the person who posted the comment in the first place. However, as I was reading through the comments of this video, I found one that was posted 8 months ago that made me think about what we consider "good music." Back in 2011-2012, Linkin Park released this album with no regard for it being radio friendly. After its release, they were criticized not just by the media, but by their fans as well. They criticized Linkin Park for "selling out" and for doing something different from what everyone is used to them doing. They (LP) did something that everyone, at the time, was couldn't do. They created a story using strong lyrics and tones with each song building up to the next one, each with a new part of the tale to tell. Me personally, I've been a fan of LP ever since my cousin showed me the video for Bleed It Out somewhere in 07-08 (mind you, I was probably 9 or 10 at the time). I remember listening to this album when it came out and all the backlash that came with it. At the time, I didn't understand the lyrics, all I knew was that they meant something to me. A couple months ago, I bought the album again on my phone and actually listened to the lyrics, from start to end. No breaks, no pauses. Just one song after the other. Afterwards, I actually took the time to look up the speeches they use in some of the songs. I listened to the tale of the escalation of war with each song sharing the next part of the story, slowly coming to the climax that is the detonation of the atomic bomb in "The Catalyst" (I also realized that LP used this album as an answer to the criticism). Mind you, I didn't realize this stuff until after I read that comment. After that album, Linkin Park has deviated from what the media and society deem "appropriate music" and redefined themselves. Every album receives a fair amount of criticism, such as their recent album "One More Light." The thing most people don't think about music in general is why. Why do artists (music) create albums with strong themes that are deemed inappropriate? The answer is simple. So they can be different from the herd. And the obvious one: to express themselves. That's why they made this album. To not only redefine LP, but to separate from mainstream media. To those of you who took the time to read this, I commemorate you. At the time of me typing this it is Sunday, September 24, 2017. Feel free to leave your thoughts below, or don't. It's up to you really. I just wanted to share my thoughts given all the negative comments I've read.

By some distance, this is one of their most underrated songs.

Oh my god! I'm losing my wife to cancer, and I've always felt like I didn't deserve her. This song sums it up, and makes me feel strangely better. I will always love you, my babygirl ❤

the most underrated awesome song.

Why is this song so damn underrated? It's one of the best things in the world......

"I'm swimming in the smoke, of bridges I have burned. So dont Apoligize, I'm losing what I dont deserve" R.I.P to a legend Chester bennington 1976-2017

A family worried for news, Boys playing in a party, A young girl studying, An innocence Child playin', An in loved couple, An angry girl for her Body, An Disconsolated old man, All of us will suffer cause the problems on the world😢

Such an underrated amazing song.

That's funny to see that when the song was released, the comments were full of insult and hate against Linkin Park (old vs new and all those messy shits). But now, more than 6 years later, every one is like "omg this is a true piece of art". And even tho I completely agree, it makes me laught

A Thousand Suns is a Masterpiece.

Im swimming in the smoke, Of bridges I have burned, So don’t apologize, I’m losing what I don’t deserve Something about those lyrics always hit me, these guys had a beautiful talent to take vague lyrics and make you feel like they pertained to you, I forever worship this band We miss you Chester

This album was so underrated, and yet it's the best one they have in my opinion. I always loved and will continue to love Meteora and Hybrid Theory among others but A thousand Suns really outdid them. The message in most of the songs in this album are so powerful and so well conveyed through entrancing melodies that it's impossible not to be mesmerized by it.

One thing i have noticed, everyone who listens to LP has been helped by them in overcoming depression...they helped me overcome my depression...when i lost my father at the age of 11, i found LP.....when i lost my closest friend, the closest person in my life, i found LP again. You know, it gets harder everyday waking up to see how much my mother has changed, knowing i am failing her every moment.....and harder still because i have no one to share my grief with. LP changed me, and before i could recover completely, Chester died. Pain demands to be felt, i guess.

A Thousand Suns is by far Linkin Park's most underrated and unappreciated album.

i can't be the only one who's favourite ALBUM is A Thousand Suns and cries while singing to it.

LYRICS I use the dead wood to make the fire rise The blood of innocence burning in the skies I filled my cup with the rising of the sea And poured it out in an ocean of debris Ooh, I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve We held our breathe when the clouds began to form But you were lost in the beating of the storm But in the end we were made to be apart In separate chambers of the human heart Ooh, I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve It's in the blackened bones Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve The blame is mine alone For bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve What I don't deserve, ooh woah What I don't deserve I use the dead wood to make the fire rise The blood of innocence burning in the skies

we all lost a hero we didn't deserve today. RIP. you helped me through so fucking much, all the respect in the world, we will never forget you Chester

Linkin Park isn't a band, It's a family.

Cheester ....! RIP. you will be loved and remembered by many of us. you saved us..... wish any of us could help you out

Thank you Linkin Park. You guys have gotten me through so many dark times. I remember being in rehab playing dominoes during free time when I heard on the radio that Chester had taken his life. I cried. Still cry listening to some songs. But now clean and sober and a father again, your music is so special to me. My eyes welled up at work today listening to this song just overcome with gratitude and peace. Much love from Lancaster Pennsylvania here.

I'm here after watching Oppenheimer. This is the song I thought of as it ended. We are in a world where it becomes increasingly easier to hurt other people. We are on the path of losing everything. Everything ends in fire and ashes. "I'm swimming in the smoke, Of bridges I have burned, So don't apologise, I'm losing what I don't deserve"

1:44 This music video tells a better love and loss story than most modern movies, in 3 seconds, wow.

Every linkin park song rocks!! and this album is so underrated

Basically this song is saying that whatever a person went through in their life that scarred them and they didnt deserve to be done that way that person commits suicide to erase the damage done is what im interpreting this song is saying

I come here to express my sincere gratitude to Chester. He, the guy who was fighting with stress and depression for a long time, sang and wrote songs that helped many of us in the really hard times. I listen to this song again after 10-11 years passed since I first heard it. I get that back in that time I was just a fan, now I am listening this song, and words can not explain how these songs really relate to me now. Now, I get that Hybrid Theory age songs were written when all of members were really young and it shows how they dealt with life problems in a more distorted sound, open lyrics that show how they bounce back the difficulties in life. However, this album is purely about accepting oneself, being calm in the hard times and observing where the world goes in this temp. You can see how LP changed mentally, how their lyrics matured, how they see the world changed. I am now listening to this song not as a fan, but a person who really gets the idea, understands how Chester was dealing with life and how it was mirrored in lyrics and style. Hope you are all doing good daily in the life and these songs remind you that you are not alone there.

The line the blame is mine alone...wow, its our life in one sentence

Chester Bennington. He could save others from death, but not himself. Rest in peace, legend and hero. Thank you.

Rest in peace old friend

Linkin Park you are the most amazing band ever ❤ We all love you guys so much. Chester, Rob, Brad, Joe, Mike and Dave you are all my heroes❤

This is in my opinion their best and deepest song. I feel like it adresses what you feel after letting everybody, or at least someone you care about down in a complete opposite way of "What I've Done". Instead of self-forgiveness we see self-disappointment. Right off the bat you hear "I use the dead wood to make a fire rise", after loosing it all you're trying to make something shine out of all that darkness. But what strikes me the most is the chorus: "I'm swimming in the smoke, of bridges I have burned", after destroying your own opportunities you find yourself trying to find yourself in the middle of nowhere, "So don't apologize, I'm loosing what I don't deserve", possibly mentioning the faith someone had in the poetic subject, or maybe himself. And to make my point even stronger: "The blame is mine alone, for bridges I have burned", he's "realising" the consequences of his mistakes, all the hearts he has broken, so he's the only one to blame. Because of this interpretation I relate to this song a whole lot. I know what it feels like to know that your unawareness and bad choices broke the heart of someone you really love.

Cheester never died, he simply became music.

Just go to your roof at night... look at stars and listen to this song.. i can gurantee that you will start feeling each and every word of this song...( chester, we still miss u)

I heard this song for the first time at my graduation. It was just written that it was uploaded a few weeks ago. it's been 13 years now. damn time seems to dissolve so fast. My respects to Chester, i hope he doesn't have to suffer any more pain in after world 🫡 Each his song has accompanied me during sad or happy moments for a long time ago. Thanks to everyone behind Linkin Park.

Bruce Lee quoted .. the key to immortality is to first live a life worth remembering. R.I.P Chester......and thank you for the art and the beauty you left us An immortal voice with with intense talent to back it up

I've never really understood the message in the lyrics until I grow up and face it myself. The feeling that I keep disappointed everyone that I love. All of Linkin Park's songs always makes me feel related somehow. I always pick one of their songs to be my friend when I feel bad. It's like I have someone who really understand.

Personally I think this is there best song. Chester sounds like an angel in every song, but this is just perfection

В 2024 смотрю. Шикарно

Every single song has a different meaning now. R.I.P Chester!

Anyone else having a Linkin Park marathon right now? 😭

I have not heard one song that i didnt like from this amazing band. Chester's voice is beautiful all their songs touch me. Its truly sad this man is gone but never forgotten. We luv u chester

3:24 The best part starts from here Chester will be live forever in or hearts❤

"When my time comes forget the wrong that I've done Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed" R.I.P Chester

"Burning In The Skies" I used the deadwood to make the fire rise The blood of innocence burning in the skies I filled my cup with the rising of the sea And poured it out in an ocean of debris I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve We held our breath when the clouds began to form But you were lost in the beating of the storm And in the end we were made to be apart Like separate chambers of the human heart I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve It's in the blackened bones Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve The blame is mine alone For bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve What I don't deserve What I don't deserve I used the deadwood to make the fire rise The blood of innocence burning in the skies

This is not just a song it's an emotion (nostalgia)

I'm mad this song only has 58m views.

we lost what we didn't deserve ..... this world didn't deserved you Chester...RIP Chester...😭😭

Such an underrated song. Truly one of the best songs off the album.

This song gives me every time i need the feeling about coming home. Hearing to Linkin Park and trying to draw what I feel inside is my most important therapy. I have a long list of LP songs that I use to listen when I need to. And Burning In The Skies is that song for me that makes me feel less alone. Makes me feeling home.

4 years Rest In Peace Chester Bennington 1976 - 2017

A lot of parks are becoming closed because of corona, but Linkin Park is always open

THIS SONG IS SOOOO UNDERRATED!!

So many fantastic songs, and this is one of the best. RIP Chester Bennington, passed way too soon.

2024 and still here, always will be

Calming piano, Warm guitar, Beautiful voice, and Perfect lyrics. This is Burning in the Skies. And I am glad to have you here.

A Thousand Suns. Such an underrated album!

20/07/2017 We lost what we didn't deserve..RIP Chester 😢

don't ask me, but that "what I don't deserve" made me cry

January 2024. Chester has left a mark on all of us. RIP.

It's a legendary Linkin Park song with Chester. R.I.P Chester Charles Bennington.March 20, 1976 - July 20, 2017. Chester will live forever in his music and in our hearts.

For those of you who don´t know yet Chester commited suicide earlier today (20 july) it´s not a joke, we have lost a pionere in dealer with depression who eventually fell victim to it. he hung himself like Chriss Conell did back in May (20 of july is Conells birthday) We should remeber Chester for the brilliant artist and amazing vocalist who helped many of us through touch times :( Rest in Peace Chester. you are remembered

R.I.P Chester Bennington (1976-2017) 😢 💔

Nolan creates 'Oppenheimer 2023', while Linkin Park crafted this masterpiece 13 years ago.

Best album ever made! Linkin Park's master piece! I'm addicted to it for at least the past five years. All the lyrics are so genius, all the social comments are so on point, all the emotions are felt. I'm sorry most of the fans (me included) didn't recognized it when it was released, it was so ahead of its time!

"But you were lost in the beating of the storm" RIP Chester, the best singer who ever lived

this one is a masterpiece

The guy whose music saved my soul. You are still alive in our hearts Chester♡

This song is criminally underrated. one of my favourites.

U didnt get what u deserve man...u deserved much much more...uve helped so many depresive people not to commit suicide but in the end u fell in that trap...u will never be forgotten...

Burning in the skies, waiting for the end, iridescent and the catalyst are my favorite songs from A Thousands Suns

It's crazy how we are listening to this song again as different people. This song is legendary

Miss You Chester🙏🙏🙏🙏

Mike Shinoda the best Songwriter ever

I LOVED A THOUSAND SUNS! There I said it.

It's been 4 years already. Gone but not forgotten. We miss you Chester. We always will.

Did anyone else randomly remember this and come back?

ATS turns 6 years old today. Amazing album.

Chester has built bridges no one is ever able to burn...

He will be alive forever in this song

Lyrics: I used the dead wood to make the fire rise The blood of innocence burning in the skies I filled my cup with the rising of the sea And poured it out in an ocean of debris Oh, I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve We held our breathe when the clouds began to form But you were lost in the beating of the storm And in the end, we were made to be apart In separate chambers of the human heart Oh, I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve It's in the blackened bones Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve The blame is mine alone For bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve What I don't deserve, oh-whoa What I don't deserve I used the dead wood to make the fire rise The blood of innocence burning in the skies

Am i the only one for who "a thousand sun" is the favorite LP's album ? i mean, i love all of them, but this one is special. more sensation than the others. only my opinion :')

They made songs for everyone

"SO DONT APOLOGIZE I'M LOSING WHAT I DON'T DESERVE".....it is really bring my Tears now..and its matched with my condition right now.i lost my own precious friend for a decade consider i was nothing for her..it touched my heart so deeply....Thank you Linkin Park Thank you Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda also all Linkin Park Member and all fans....you are all my Hero❤

Probably the most unique LP album. After all those years, i started to appreciate this whole album in 2021. Ohh i miss LP.🤒

I just realized this video is already 10 years old. DAMN TIME FLIES.
