In short
In Issue.14, the music section closes with Linkin Park and Chester Bennington. The edition says that in 2017 the band released its last album, entitled One More Light, and that its new musical style was met with significant disapproval from fans and critics. While fans were busy rejecting the new album, it says, they missed what Chester was saying in the lyrics. It then prints two songs: Nobody Can Save Me and this one, the album's title song, whose lyrics ask who cares if one more light goes out. What the edition says about the rejection refers to the album; of the song itself it prints only the lyrics.

What does the edition say about the album One More Light?
The edition writes that the year is 2017 and Linkin Park releases their last album, entitled One More Light. It did not matter, it says, how many times the band got it right in the past: human beings rather delegate criticism and discontent than try to embrace something that is different and understand the reasons behind it.
In the end, the edition concludes, the one thing able to keep Chester alive, making music, was not enough anymore, because his fans abandoned him when he needed them the most. Two months after the album was released, it says, Chester died.
