After the tragic death of Chester Bennington, the lyrics of this album, along with the lyrics of all their songs, seem to hold new meaning. It’s very difficult to look at a song like this after the singer’s death and see anything but his struggle. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his loved...
[Verse 1]
I'm dancing with my demons
I'm hanging off the edge
Storm clouds gather beneath me
Waves break above my head
[Pre-Chorus]
Headfirst hallucination
I wanna fall wide awake now
[Chorus]
You tell me it's alright
Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight
But nobody can save me now
I'm holding up a light
I'm chasing out the darkness inside
'Cause nobody can save me
[Verse 2]
Stared into this illusion
For answers yet to come
I chose a false solution
But nobody proved me wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Headfirst hallucination
I wanna fall wide awake
Watch the ground giving way now
[Chorus]
You tell me it's alright
Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight
But nobody can save me now
I'm holding up a light
I'm chasing out the darkness inside
'Cause nobody can save me
[Bridge]
Been searching somewhere out there
For what's been missing right here (I wanna fall wide awake now)
I've been searching somewhere out there
For what's been missing right here (I wanna fall wide awake now)
I wanna fall wide awake now
[Chorus]
So tell me it's alright
Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight
And only I can save me now
I'm holding up a light
Chasing out the darkness inside
And I don't wanna let you down
But only I can save me
Been searching somewhere out there
For what's been missing right here

Chester didn’t write majority of the songs on One More Light. It was Mike and Brad with outside songwriters for most of the part. Chester may have had a part in deciding the themes of the songs, though.
It is really mind-blowing how everyone around him knew about his condition and yet failed to do...
