The scenes from this video really provide what someone with deep depression goes through on a daily basis. The video ends with the both of them sitting on the bathroom floor together upset and hopeless not knowing what to do. The woman featured in the song and video is also going through the same thing. It goes back and forth between both scenes and finally Chester leaves the support group and walks to the restroom where he fights his own self again destroying the restroom. As the video continues, Chester goes to a support group and begins fighting with another man and as that is happening in another scene he is physically fighting his own self.
On the kitchen table you can see there are bottles of liquor.
The first lyric to the song says, “I don’t like my mind right now, stacking up problems that are so unnecessary, wish that I can slow things down I want to let go but there’s comfort in the panic.” You can see how hopeless Chester becomes throughout the video. In the beginning of the video for “Heavy”, Chester is shown sitting at the kitchen table with a notepad scribbling across the paper. We listened to the songs but never payed attention to what he was saying. But what no one really knew was that he was crying for help. Bennington before his death became for many fans a role model to look up to for going through depression as many claimed his music helped them get through dark times. Chester Bennington battled depression and substance abuse for most of his life and on Jhe lost that battle when he ended his own life.
In Linkin Park’s song “Heavy”, lead vocalist Chester Bennington sings about battling depression and battling his own self, his thoughts, and the state of mind he is in. This causes a sense of hopelessness and despair which for some can eventually lead them to believe that their only hope is death. According to David Coombs in “Suicide in the Middle Years”, one reason a person can committ suicide would be an economic downturn like for example losing a job, income, or even using drugs and alcohol to escape feeling depressed. Depression very often leads to suicide when left untreated. Depression has become a real problem especially in our generation today seeing teens as young as 11 who don’t know much about life commiting suicide. Today’s society is riddled with depression and there are plenty of reasons as to why someone would want to commit suicide.
