According to Bennington, "I came up with a few songs that felt and sounded really good, but I knew they weren’t right stylistically for Linkin Park. They were darker and moodier than anything I’d come up with for the band. So I decided to work on them on my own rather than turn them over and have them transformed into Linkin Park tracks." However, the foundation for Dead by Sunrise was laid much earlier, when future bandmate Shuck met Bennington during the recording of Linkin Park's first album Hybrid Theory. In an interview, Shuck states that "I always used to go to his house and hear him play acoustic guitar. And I always thought to myself, 'Oh my God, these are such good songs.'"
Recording of the band's debut album began in July 2008 after touring for Linkin Park had finished. Working simultaneously on his solo album and Linkin Park's next record, Bennington recorded Out of Ashes with producer Howard Benson (who has also worked with Three Days Grace, My Chemical Romance, Daughtry, and simultaneously Full Circle by Creed) and bandmates from Julien-K. Bennington wrote most of the songs on an acoustic guitar before working with his band to reshape the track into hard rock, a ballad, or even removing all rock influence and creating a synth-driven track. Linkin Park bandmate Mike Shinoda confirmed that Out of Ashes is "much more of a rock album [than Linkin Park's albums]." Also of note, Bennington participated in all aspects of creating the record, including programming and production.
In a 2009 interview with Billboard, Bennington said that "This isn't a one-time thing for us. Every five years or so I could imagine there'd be a Dead By Sunrise record." Despite this, in 2010, he has stated there was a small chance a new album may be created. The frontman also noted that because of Linkin Park's new direction "it becomes very difficult to choose where the songs that he writes will go."
On November 4, 2011, Bennington's wife, Talinda, revealed that Dead by Sunrise will perform at the 2011 Stars of the Season Gala event, which will focus on raising donations for pediatric rehabilitation.
Videos have been filmed for "Crawl Back In" (September 8, 2009) and "Let Down" with the songs serving as the album's first two singles. "Crawl Back In" has reached the 11th spot on the Mainstream Rock chart.
On the 20th of April 2012, during a Love and Death concert played at an event by The Whosoevers, Elias Andra announced that he had converted to Christianity in November 2011 and that he had left his band. In 2012, Andra was replaced with Frank Zummo from Street Drum Corps.
Chester Bennington was found dead at his home in Palos Verdes Estates, California; his housekeeper discovered his body around 9:00 A.M. PDT on July 20, 2017. His death was ruled a suicide by hanging. His fellow bandmate of Linkin Park, Mike Shinoda, confirmed his death on Twitter, writing, "Shocked and heartbroken, but it's true."
Into You
Dead By Sunrise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It kills the pain
That's all that's left
Of me anymore
Choke on all of my regrets
Feeling the strain in every breath
Stumble as I crawl
Then I fall into you
And I fade away
I fall into you
And I fade
Like a crutch you carry me
Without restraint
Back to a place
Where I am not alone
I'm a man whose tragedies
Have been replaced
With memories
Tattooed upon my soul
Then I fall into you
And I fade away
I fall into you
And I fade
You said time to tear down the walls
You know not everything's your fault
But in a way
Our mistakes have brought us here today
You say just look how far you've come
Despite all those things you've done
You'll always be the one to catch me when I
Fall
Into you
And I fade away
I fall
Into you
And I fade
Say goodbye to yesterday (Say goodbye to yesterday)
I made it through
I made today
Despite what I was told
You were there to rescue me (You were there to rescue me)
You shine your light so I could see
Then I fall
Into you
And I fade away
I fall
Into you
And I fade
I fall
Into you
And I fade away (fall)
I fall
Into you
And I fade
The lyrics of Dead By Sunrise's "Into You" tells a tale of a person who smokes to kill their pain and forget all their regrets. The singer stumbles and falls but is carried by someone who acts as their crutch. They realize that despite their tragedies, they have replaced them with memories that are tattooed upon their soul. The other person has been providing them emotional support, and they appear to be grateful for it.The singer talks about reminiscing about their past but is reminded by the other person that they have come too far to give up all their efforts.
The lyrics of the song reveal that the singer is trapped in a haze of pain and depression. They struggle to cope and feel the expanse of their regrets choking them. However, the presence of the other person provides a sense of comfort and security that helps them move forward. The sense of gratitude towards the other person is clear in the lines that say "You'll always be the one to catch me when I fall." The other person becomes their anchor, and they hold on to them to prevent themselves from sinking deeper into their depression.
