I think it’s a mentality to be developed and maintained, though. Often there is no reason or justification for trauma and suffering. When someone is going through darkness, it doesn’t help to say that one day they’ll look back on it as an opportunity to appreciate the light.

I believe that as loneliness comes, so does love. There has to be some equivalence in this life.

— Linkin Park

“You can look at a song like ‘CASTLE OF GLASS,’ which for me, has one of the most interesting opposing points of view,” Chester Bennington said. “When Mike was talking about the lyrics, at one point he had said, 'You know, it’s kind of like finding yourself as this broken part of this big machine, and feeling like you’re not part of that, or trying to find your place in the bigger scheme of things.’ And that can mean a solider coming home from war, and trying to fit back into society, or a person getting out of prison, or whatever. "And here I am, envisioning this big, beautiful glass castle on a hill, and, like, unicorns. I’m thinking like 'Yeah, if you zoom in, I’m this little broken part of this castle that no one knows about, and I may seem like flawed and not important, but when you back up and look at the big picture, you’re part of this really beautiful thing that keeps you together,” he continued. “And it was a really interesting twist; I think a lot of our lyrics can be taken from multiple perspectives, depending on what you want the song to be about … they can be felt on so many different levels.” Castle of Glass [Live from Spike Video Game Awards 2012]
