[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
All these things I could not say
Made me so much more afraid
Just too scared of what I'd find
To look behind, to look behind

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
All these things I could not say
Made me so much more afraid
Just too scared of what I'd find
To look behind, to look behind

[Bridge: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
If you go, there's no turning back
If you go, there's no turning back
If you go, there's no turning back
There's no turning back

No, no, no, no, no, no...
No, no turning back!
No, no turning back!
No, no turning back!
No, no turning back!

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
All these things I could not say
Made me so much more afraid
Just too scared of what I'd find
To look behind

All of these things I could not say
Made me so much more afraid
Just too scared of what I'd find
To look behind, can't look behind!

Linkin Park

Hybrid Theory isn’t just the title of Linkin Park’s chart-topping debut album, but a career mission statement.

From day one, the same six players (lead vocalist Chester Bennington, drummer/percussionist Rob Bourdon, guitarist Brad Delson, bassist Dave ‘Phoenix’ Farrell, DJ/Programmer Joe Hahn, and keyboardist, guitarist, and co-lead vocals Mike Shinoda) built the band by fusing all their favorite styles of music into one unmistakable signature sound. With each album, Linkin Park defiantly challenges themselves and their fans by blasting into new musical territory. After setting the template for rock that incorporated hip-hop influences with Hybrid Theory and Meteora, they shifted gears completely and defied expectations with the polychromatic Minutes to Midnight, and again with the esoteric A Thousand Suns, before melding a piece of them all into 2012’s LIVING THINGS. With their 2014 release and heaviest offering in years, The Hunting Party, Linkin Park manage to capture their ever-innovative spirit with a hunger seldom seen in bands on their seventh album. One More Light (2017) is an interesting personal album, filled with a lot of emotion.

Unfortunately, on July 20, 2017, Chester unexpectedly died by suicide, shocking and saddening both fans and his own band members alike.
