Over Again | Lyrics
Sometimes / sometimes you don’t say goodbye once
You say goodbye over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
Sometimes / sometimes you don’t say goodbye once
You say goodbye over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
It was a month since he passed / maybe less
And no one knew what to do / we were such a mess
We were texting / we were calling / we were checking in
We said we ought to play a show in honor of our friend
Well now that show’s finally here / it’s tonight
Supposed to go / to the bowl / get on stage / dim the lights
With our friends / and our family / in his name / celebrate
There’s no way that I’ll be ready to get back up on that stage
Can't remember if I’ve cancelled any show
But I think about what I’m supposed to do and I don’t know
Cause I think about not doing it the same way as before
And it makes me wanna puke my fucking guts out on the floor
We rehearsed it for a month / I’m not worried about the set
I get tackled by the grief at times that I would least expect
I know what I should be doing when I’m singing but instead
We’ll be playing through a song and I’d remember in my head
Sometimes / sometimes you don’t say goodbye once
You say goodbye over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
Sometimes / sometimes you don’t say goodbye once
You say goodbye over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
What (are) they saying, I’m not raw?
What the fuck you take me for?
All the sudden you hear what I’ve said a hundred ways before?
I been pushed, I been trapped
Drug myself through hell and back and
Fallen flat and had the balls to start it all again from scratch
How do you feel / how you doing / how’d the show go?
Am I insane to say the truth is that I don’t know
My body aches / head's spinning this is all wrong
I almost lost it in middle of a couple songs
And everybody that I talk to is like, “wow
Must be really hard to figure what to do now”
Well thank you genius / you think it’ll be a challenge
Only my life’s work hanging in the fucking balance
And all I wanted was to get a little bit of closure
And every step I took I looked and wasn’t any closer
Cause sometimes when you say goodbye yeah you say it
Over and over and over and over

Mike Shinoda - We are not ready to loose you too. Please stay strong and always stay with us. We love you, my dear friend.

Mike The loss of Chester was the first time I saw my husband of 7 years acknowledge grief. In 2020 I lost my mother to Suicide. The grief was deep. I found this song in 2021 and shared it with my husband. We talked about the lyrics... In February of 2022 my husband was in an accident and didn't survive... This song. Thank you Mike. Grief needs to be heard... Over and over and over again.
-
People always talk about Chester... Yes we lost him... But people lets not lose another... We should care about more who is still here... We must provide all our support to Mike to get back where he belongs...
-
This is one of the most aggresive and personal rap song that Mike has ever done for a long time
-
The way this is filmed really depicts how erratic his mind must have been after Chester’s passing. Feel better Mike 😢
-
Shinoda and Bennington, my absolute favorite duo ever. We all feel for Chester's passing, and yet, just imagine what a close friend must feel like by don't seeing that coming.
-
I'm back here after a few years❤️
-
I remember that Chester said Mike is actually one with most passion for music in his group, when they travel together he would see Mike start working on new song, music, beats most of the time anyway, he just keep making music, even if nobody asks him to, nor expected him to make it, he just kept going. Now with Chester's gone, he kept getting more and more message to deliver in his head, and he just need to let it all out. with music. and as a listener and fans i'll hell burnly frickin listen to all of it, gladly.
-
"Mike Shinoda should be more recognized." Yes, agree. And, in my opinion, he is the most underrated musician. You are the best musician I know
-
Mike. You are incredible. I just have no words You are magic.

My 22 year old son, Nick lived and loved Linkin Park. I was all in. Love you too. He took his life in the worst way when he drove out to a remote area and put a pistol to his head. We, me and his siblings found him 3 days later. It was Christmas eve. It was raining for 2 days. It don't rain in Arizona. That day will never be forgotten in my mind and long after I am gone, my children will remember this day. Stay strong, look for pain in those you love and don't ignore it...but sometimes you do t have a decision in their decision to end it. Much love to you all. And peace be to you that are in our shoes.
-
One of the most emotional pieces of art and music I have ever seen. Push the master of his crafts into a corner and he comes out blazing.
-
Death is weird man. One minute, someone's there and you're like "ah, no rush in seeing them now, they'll be there tomorrow", but then the next day, they're just... gone. I always wanted to see Linking Park live, and especially Chester. He was my role model growing up. I always figured I'd see them (him) perform one day, and they've been in my country a couple of times, but there was always something that got in the way. Usually money. If I'd known, I'd have made room, but now, that possibility is just completely gone. I won't ever get to see Chester sing live. No one will. His friends won't ever get to hang out with him and his family will never get to hug him anymore. So many things people will never get to do anymore because of one heartbreaking moment. Makes you think man...
-
It’s been years since Chester passed, and I have avoided listening to anything new until now I just wasn’t ready to hear anything without Chester, or to hear the band moving on This song is perfect
-
Post Traumatic helped me get through Chester's death. I wasn't friends with Chester but I cannot fathom losing someone so loved. Mike didn't have to share his pain but he did and made it into something beautiful. Chester deserved nothing less.
-
Is it just me or you can hear Chester's voice echoing at the end... gives me the chills.
-
this one. this song hit me the hardest. there's a sense of closure that I never got after Chester died but this song for some reason is really helping me with that
-
no matter how often I listen to this... I still feel the pain
-
This song captures the the essence of the process of grief for those of us that have been and are currently going through it.
