What is there even to say when another light goes out from this world? This list of some of my favorite Linkin Park songs is a tribute to Chester Bennington, who touched many lives through his music over the years of his life. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us, Chester.
12. Numb
This, of course, is one of the many highly popular songs that come to mind when one thinks of Linkin Park. It was probably the one that captured my attention and turned it over to Linkin Park's music throughout the years.
Favorite Lyrics: Can't you see that you're smothering me / Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control

I believe that this song is widely relatable. Everyone is just looking for the place they fit into the puzzle.

Favorite Lyrics: I'll face myself / To cross out what I've become
9. New Divide
Favorite Lyrics: As time began to blur / Like a startling sign / That fate had finally found me
8. In Pieces
This song so well describes a relationship that I've been involved in. It just spoke to me in ways that no other song ever could.

I used to fall asleep every night listening to this song. It has been my all-time favorite for quite some time now.
