You saw it too This song speaks about the challenges of the Christ when he dwelt in humanity. If you listen closely it makes sense. Jesus thought it not robbery to be equal to God but humbled himself and became obedient unto death and death of the cross. Pain come alive I tried to breathe followed the dammed I have lost the way again means becoming sin and obedient unto death the likeness of sinful flesh . It sings about the obedience and the battle of Christ on earth. Stay trust in life carry beneath dead arise sorrow avenged I will face the week within. Means that he needed to face the crucifixión and then resurrection. So I’ll stay unforgiven and I’ll keep love together means he taking the wrath of God and becoming unforgiven for us. I’ll sleep close to heaven means sleep in the tomb where they laid his body in. Hate lost inside I dare to dream faithless lies caught in the web I will face the week within. Meaning all the lies of the world the Pharisees and all of evil men through the work of Satan that God doesn’t exist that Jesus didn’t exist and that if he did exist he didn’t resurrect. It still goes on till this day the influence of the prince of the power of the air. Atheist and the news lying to you spreading fear. 2:08 means his descencion and his ascension to the father of the lights that’s why you hear the devil mad and furious screaming in defeat fear kind of like the passion of the Christ movie but better. 2:27 I’m coming home release me my love he speaking to spirits in prison and chains liberating the captives in Abraham’s bosom.
Yes he mentions god alot and the devil as well though not as often, he's a catholic if i remember correctly, he used to be a significant alcoholic which lead to his nerve disease which resulted in their hiatus, I often wonder if alcoholism is the demon he was fighting
my fav band of all time....this band has gotten me through more shit then i care to remember, but one thing obviously i havent forgotten is that Ben's Talent is UNSURPASED in his field...some of the most leading singers of "thier" (IMO) sound are David of Disturbed, Pete of Chevelle, Sully of Godsmack, and of course Ben Burnley...Ben continues to make outstanding music, and i am very thankful they havent changed their sound over the years...to me, i am very thankful to have been able to be alive while this band has been around...i certainly cant imagine my life not ever have had heard them
My girl broke up with me the day after New Years (3 days ago). I was listening to Pandora, and I heard this. It fits what I'm feeling, I thought of sending this to her, but I'm giving her space. I can't stop listening to this song, I love it so much!
This album was released in the summer of 2015, the hardest time of my life. Thank you Breaking Benjamin for keeping me going with your awesome music. I don't know what I would do without you guys.
I still remember when this album released, vividly. It was the summer of 2015 and I was deciding whether or not to go back to the school I was at and go on with my Junior year. I don't regret it one bit at all. Junior year was the best year of my life and here I am two years later, ready to graduate and chase my dreams with the speed of a cheetah. Good times I must say. :-)
I love this fucking song so much! When I first picked this album up and listened through it this song hit me in a certain way that the rest didn't. The rest of the album is fantastic but that chorus is just ridiculously good
This is insanely good! I was concerned with the band pretty much broken up they couldn't reform or keep that edge but this song is right up there with BB classics!
Thank you for all the lyrics. Going to their concert Friday and this was a great way to freshen up on their new album. And some Very Good Oldies, but Goodies
They didn't post this video some dude with to much time on his hands did. Your thank you is misplaced but I understand the feeling more than most. Great album takes me back to a place in time that meant alot to me.
Actually, the perfect song to listen to while playing F.E.A.R. is *_only the game itself._* This song just ruins the whole "horror" part of the game - y'know, the entire point of the game?
I don’t know about everyone else but I see this song as an analogy for addiction. The love in the song is Ben’s addiction. Sleeping close to heaven is how you feel when you take stuff like heroin. The chorus and bridge is Ben falling back into addiction and wanting to get away from it but is so addicted that it won’t release him. That’s just my interpretation though, I would love to hear others thoughts on it.
+GEARSofHALFLIFE RED, Skillet, Ashes Remain. All rock and metal bands, but all use their music as a message of god's love. Forget the haters, they are just blinded by false truth and outright lies.
Definitely my favourite song from Dark Before Dawn. Just a tiny correction - I think it's 'Release me right now' and not 'Release me, my love', but I may be wrong.
Listen to the song people.. Someone he Loved dearly died on him and he sleeps on the edge of death (close to heave)every night close to heaven waiting to be with her
It seems everyone with an anime/hentai obsession has troublesome lives... *cough* - Off topic, this song is fucking awesome, same with the albums AND band! Breaking Benjimine is a musical prodigy. Cheer up maggots, enjoy the tunes without thinking about the bottom of a whiskey bottle or how many of those "anti-depression" pills you can swallow at once.
+Luke Rodgers It is true songs like these and my anime obsession is do to the current situation I am facing, but it is a good message your commenting because some people just cant handle the reality of there life
Bud there’s way more than just anime hentai… comics show so much bad evil sexual desires to many, movies, Hollywood, now and days music is terrible along with many drugs, killing, raping and many addictions in this evil world… we all need to find Jesus…
And if you don't like their opinion, you don't have to tell them they can't have their opinion. As a fellow Breaking Benjamin fan, I'd appreciate if you just keep yourself silent. Like, for the rest of your time on RUclips.
That first time he sings ,,So I'll stay unforgiven'' he sounds just like James Hetfield from Metallica lol (and I dont mean lyric familliar, only the voice)

AND I'LL BE YOURS FUREVUUUUUUUURRRRRR
Same here.
i really hope u r doing alright buddy...stay safe and stay happy
N fur eva an eva 🥰👍

The chorus touches me. We are all sinners. Sometimes we think we should be unforgiven. But we are all forgiven in the eyes of our lord.
We're all forgiven through Jesus' blood ❤️

This band isn't Christian it's just lyrics.
@@protojayplays6169it can be interpreted that way though
Something Christian I finally believe
From his lyrics from alot of his tracks seems like he's a spiritual man trying to fight the inner evil. Listen to alot of his tracks and pay attention

Yea, I've always thought that being a Christian and hearing these lyrics made me somewhat see that.
I've probably played this ..... Like over 13 times today? It's amazing !

This is my favorite song from the album. Breaking Benjamin just can't disappoint.
Only if he is screaming like whatever
Love the scream in the middle!
nah
all the other is good ^-^
This album was released in the summer of 2015, the hardest time of my life. Thank you Breaking Benjamin for keeping me going with your awesome music. I don't know what I would do without you guys.
Talk about a song that cuts deep and moves you...amazing
Been on repeat for 2 days straight.
Normal. xD
No.... I love breaking Benjamin alot. Even the songs. There really awesome.🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘!!!!!!!!!. Benjamin rocks!!!!!
Makes me remember my dad that passed away 10 months ago I miss him
That chorus though...
Looove how he says “release me my love” gives me goosebumps

I absolutely love Breaking Benjamin. My most favorite band yet c:
the way he says close just gives so much life to this song
I love this fucking song so much! When I first picked this album up and listened through it this song hit me in a certain way that the rest didn't. The rest of the album is fantastic but that chorus is just ridiculously good
Ok. Go f**k yourself
Can you believe it's been 7 years??
Man I love this band
dito ^-^
Everytime I listen to this masterpiece, I get goosebumps. Love these guys.
This song is the definition of finding ones way.
i love this song. breaking bebjamin is definitely one of my favorite bands ^-^
Just saw these guys in concert and they rocked the woodlands! The entire crowd was singing with them. Just like the albums! Better!
This is insanely good! I was concerned with the band pretty much broken up they couldn't reform or keep that edge but this song is right up there with BB classics!
for some reason i was thinking for a while you meant BB King, and was really confused at the comparison
The way he sings forever is the best part
Deliciously dark.
the song is great. the whole concept just goes together.
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for all the lyrics. Going to their concert Friday and this was a great way to freshen up on their new album. And some Very Good Oldies, but Goodies
So dark.....so cool!!
why dark?
It's about heaven.. a bit xD

best song on new album
Violent_Jake11 Gaming I agree, but DAMN it was a tough decision to make, every single song on this album is amazing in it's own unique way...
Ashes of Eden gives it a good run for the win tho
+Nathan Reed totally
+Jakester 99 i like The Great Divide, but it's a tough call
I love that one too Jakester 99
I love each and everyone one of breaking Benjamin's songs so much that i can't choose favorites
Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck yeah, men! 👍
Ya tantos años y este álbum nunca va a ser olvidado, tremendas melodías y letras las que nos dan, amo.
They didn't post this video some dude with to much time on his hands did. Your thank you is misplaced but I understand the feeling more than most. Great album takes me back to a place in time that meant alot to me.
This is the perfect song to listen to while playing F.E.A.R.
Blade Runner 007 I was scared when I played that game tbh, it scared the living shit out of me
Actually, the perfect song to listen to while playing F.E.A.R. is *_only the game itself._* This song just ruins the whole "horror" part of the game - y'know, the entire point of the game?
freakin love this song so much 😭💖
Favorite song by Breaking Benjamin😍❤
Estos Temas me hicieron Desahogar en un momento de mi pasado Excelentes temas y jamas me canso de escucharlos
This is gotta be the best song I ever heard
"Release me, my love" 💔
omg best song ever
every time I hear this song I cry
why? =/
favorite song by Breaking Benjamin, but favorite album was still We Are Not Alone
This song kicks ass
I love this ❤️️❤️️❤️️🙏🏾🙏🏾 😀😀
I don’t know about everyone else but I see this song as an analogy for addiction. The love in the song is Ben’s addiction. Sleeping close to heaven is how you feel when you take stuff like heroin.

That’s just my interpretation though, I would love to hear others thoughts on it.
You can get addicted to a certain form of sadness -a tragic hero
"when hardcore Christians say rock and metal is satan music"
-listen to breaking benjamin.
(not to offend anyone I'm Christian)
+GEARSofHALFLIFE Rock and Metal music satanic? Either Red and Skillet never got the memo or they just don't give a shit what those dumbasses think.
I am not affended
+GEARSofHALFLIFE I've actually got that from a few people.
+Zachary Jones that is a good thing
+GEARSofHALFLIFE RED, Skillet, Ashes Remain. All rock and metal bands, but all use their music as a message of god's love. Forget the haters, they are just blinded by false truth and outright lies.
Definitely my favourite song from Dark Before Dawn. Just a tiny correction - I think it's 'Release me right now' and not 'Release me, my love', but I may be wrong.
It's "Release me my love"
***** My bad :)
+SashkaBlack I actually can't tell, it's really close.
+Otso Sivonen it's release me, my love
I hear "release me right now" in the background of "release me, my love"
one of the best bands every song is meaningful and bad ass
Ill keep ripping bongs 4 ever ;)
I get the chills listening to this!!
Good song
I'll stay unforgiven
And I'll keep love together
And I'll be young forever
I'll sleep close to heaven
who else hears "so i'll stay home for dinner" at the beggining of the second chorus 1:54
Omg I thought I was the only one
nope, he really hides the N in forgiven. still a great song though. saw them live and they were amazing
Yeah he does, I love this song and they are an amazing band
I didn't until I read this.
Xtana Gaming Still can't hear what you wrote
CLOSEEE TO HEAVEN 🥺😭😭😭😭😭 Im freaking obsessed
First time hearing this song. It's my new BB song!
Who has, who wants to live forever vibes from queen in this song? Its a good thing hah
Listen to the song people.. Someone he Loved dearly died on him and he sleeps on the edge of death (close to heave)every night close to heaven waiting to be with her
Chills, legit chills.
this song could use some bag pipes. not many songs could roll with bag pipes but the chorus has a very celtic scotish irishy sound.
Yea, and also a little bit of triangle.
I remember reading crime and punishment to this song.
+Miles Upshur Dostoevsky for the win
Lovely song is the perfect 💯🎧
has a little Metallica flavor to it
i honestly hear more disturbed in the background than metallica
yeah xD
Fucking insane how a couple of years can alter the way you perceive a song so much.
Such a beautiful song this is
lols my jam❤🎶😂
15 people must have not been close to heaven indeed

Oh man takes me hack to high school!

Set me free BB..just like you always do. I'm coming home. Release me God. Let me go. Just let go. I'll stay unforgiven...
Thank you.
