first time I heard this song was in the back seat of my big bro car, 2003 after we said our goodbyes to my dad in the hospital, I had it played at his funeral.
Me too. They opened for Saliva in 2003 in my city, and I went just for BB, no one knew them and I got a few weird looks for being so excited and screaming so loud when they were on.
Not my own comment, but great insight of the meaning behind it. He's in a twisted relationship with a woman. She colors his skin and the colors don't blend means she leaves him feeling abused. He says he's going to get her and that there's no place like home. He says no place like home with anger. He wants her to come back home. She obviously left. When he says he's going to get her, he means sexually and physically back. "I've got a southern belle too with ruby red shoes" He's describing how he has another woman now. "Are you sick of it all?" he asks her if she's sick of it because he wants to make her mad and is wondering if she's jealous. He wants her jealous. Revenge is something he's after. When he said "too" this means she also has someone else. "There's a man made of tin with an oil can grin" This is him in the metaphor. He is hollow. The grin is symbolic for his evil intensions. He wants to do her harm. "Can you let me go down? To the end of the road. Can I stand by your side? We can make it alright." He's basically saying he wants to be with her forever. He knows they can make it if she lets him. Then another arrived. "It's a cowardly lion." This is referring back to her new boyfriend. The lyricist thinks he's a coward. He then basically says what he wanted from this world was resolution and for her to wait for him instead of running off with other men. He says he knows she not fair and that he doesn't get it. He doesn't understand why she left him when he loved her and probably did a lot of things for her. He's unhappy in his new relationship and refers to his girlfriend as "straw" pretty much mindless. It's a song about revenge, jealousy, and love. He wants her to take him back.
Tyler Seidel i saw them last summer with disturbed they did not play this but i understand why, they are not from Missouri. but it still was a beautiful show badass and all.
Motionless in White is from PA too! I'm from Tennessee....10 Years, Red, Saliva, & Paramour are all from Tn. The singer from Shinedown Brent Smith is from Tn as well. Tn & Pa alone have produced some fucking awesome bands \m/
Nope, the song is about wizard of Oz, every line tells you about the movie, pls don't say anything of pedo, BB is a great band, don't spill bullshit on their name
I actually worked with a drummer for a band that opened for these guys all the time and got to know them, great band and one of the most talented song writers in a very long time, and one of my favorites, wishing ben the best for a speedy recovery.
Too bad they haven't put out an album this good throughout their entire career. I bought this when it was first released, before anyone had ever heard of them, and everyone I played it for hated it, until they became a huge success, then they changed their tune. I listened to this CD for over a year straight! Couldn't get enough of it!
Listening to a song like this, then going forward and listing to one of their newer songs... It's amazing to see how much they've improved. Which is surprising, because this is pretty damn difficult to improve on.
Just want to say to people who are bitching about the band that music isn't about popularity or who has been around the longest it's about what it inspires you to do and feel. Hate or like the band it's up to you but let people have their freedom!
Having lived in Kansas my whole life this song always has meant something special to me it's like wizard of Oz was set in Kansas this song is called home and Kansas is my home
It is about time to go, about time to go home with Jesus and those who don't want to go you're missing out 7 years in heaven compared to 7 years down here no thanks 👍 Jesus is Lord
My hubby and I voted for them on our local radio station before they got their record deal. Whoever won got the deal and they won. We're from NEPA and they're an amazing band. We have so many others popping up now especially Motionless in White from Scranton and that's just a neighbor to Wilkes Barre where BB is from
My top 10 (no order) Water Natural life Breakdown Failure Diary of Jane Home Away Phase Sugarcoat Sooner or later / (i love almost all of their songs it was so hard choosing but there you have it.)
Here's mine (ordered) 1: so cold 2: diary of Jane 3: give me a sign 4: breath 5: I will not bow 6: polyamorous 7: firefly 8: angles fall 9: sooner or later 10: next to nothing Yeah, it is hard to choose
Breaking Benjamin are one of the few radio rock/metal bands I care for. Got sucked in by the movie Wrong Turn playing "Wish I May" during the credits back when that movie first came out. Been a big fan of BB since. Love the Tool influence. Have seen them cover Aenema live. Not as good as seeing Tool play it live, but still badass.
what i love about breaking benjamin is they dnt change there music styles like other bands linkin park ruined themselves they were awsome now there not, bb awsome from beginning to end :D
I remember hearing my wife singing this song years ago. " 'cuz I'm gonna' get you and your little dog too" I was completely baffled of how awesome she made the Wizard of Oz. Luckily, I started listening to Breaking Benjamin thereafter =P
Because I have too many songs for a top 10, I'll give my favorite song from each album SATURATE- Polyamorous WE ARE NOT ALONE- Away PHOBIA- The Diary of Jane DEAR AGONY- I Will Not Bow DARK BEFORE DAWN- Angels Fall
Me: Saturate - FOREVER We Are Not Alone - Simple Design Phobia - Until the End Dear Agony - Give me a Sign (I will not bow was really close here though) Dark Before Dawn - Ashes of Eden Yeah, that pretty much does it. So cold was close on WANA, but I prefer simple design for its heavy/soft awesomeness. Also, phase was close on saturate, but nothing beats forever, NOTHING.
This song is so deep...on the surface it sounds like he's singing about the wizard of oz...but I can also hear spiritual connotations and biblical references as well...the ambiguous interpretations of a single song is beautiful...
It reminds me of the beginning of Creation in the garden of Eden when the devil and ever since then it's just been spiraling closer and closer to the last days especially with all the things that have been happening for the past 2 years covid lockdowns riots wars and rumors of wars especially the conflict going on with Ukraine and Russia right now lot of lies Jesus is coming soon
My top ten bb songs ( in a specific order) 1. Dairy of Jane 2. Without you 3. Unknown soldier 4. Polyamorous 5. Dear agony 6. Had enough 7. Firefly 8. Simple design 9. Failure 10. So cold ( others include breath, give me a sign , Angels fall and follow)
All of these songs are inferior to the sounds of a loud wet fart, the type where you can hear flesh rippling and rumbling while the pungent smell overwhelms your senses
THANK GOD FOR VIDEO GAMES!!!! I came across Breaking Benjamin by playing a game called "Run like hell"! This was the first song from them that I heard from playing this game, and I've loved them ever since!
Best song by breaking Benjamin I should say RED should cover this song this song better be in resident evil rising resident evil 7 and tekken 7 as well.

Seriously, Benjamin Burnley is the only one who can write a song about "the wizard of oz" and make it sound awesome.
He's not really talking about The Wizard of Oz he's just using it as a reference
Abso-fkn-lutely
The metaphor is awesome. Thank You Breaking Benjamin ❤️
Hahaha
Idk how many times I've listened to this without realizing that it's the wizard of oz
The ultimate Dorothy diss track. She's still yet to respond.
Whos dorothy .
@@nazninrahmantuli7078 From the Wizard of Oz
I'm pretty sure it's about a girl that he wants but she keeps getting with assholes, hes just using wizard of oz as a metaphor
I've listened to this song literally probably hundreds if not thousands of times over the last 11 years and it never gets old.
keep at it pal, some day u will catch up to me, lol

I don't know any of these songs... Which Album?
+D3M0N L30 Which Album???
+waleed butt lmao if you're being a smartass, don't be. The album from the video is Saturate.
Easily Breaking Benjamin's best song imo. I listened to this song every day when I was deployed to Afghanistan in 2010. This shit got me through.
i bet. this song gives me the feeling to fight on. (honestly most of BB’s songs get me like this🤷🏾♂️)
2020 Run like hell.
That game didn't get its deserved reputation. Very underrated game...
Don't forget to grab your bawls first
I played the living shit out of that game.
This album would have to be my favorite out of all of BB's works... who's with meh?!
Can't decide between Saturate and Phobia.
Donavon Summers this album is definitely very underrated
Donavon Summers I'm with ya
definitely
Yeah I love the seemingly endless vacuous whining this album portrays
This song has amazing melody he sang it perfectly.
This song needs an official video.
2019 still the best of BB
first time I heard this song was in the back seat of my big bro car, 2003 after we said our goodbyes to my dad in the hospital, I had it played at his funeral.
Janel Schwahn I'm sorry man :/
wait you played some butt rock at your dads funeral, did he even like this shit?
@@grangisjefe2564 Don't cut yourself on all that edge.
thanks alot,its very dangerous to have open cuts around such vile bullshit
I know this comment was posted two years ago but i feel bad for you
2020 and still listening this
when i saw them in 2004 they opened with this song. it was a miracle! one of the best shows ever.
Me too. They opened for Saliva in 2003 in my city, and I went just for BB, no one knew them and I got a few weird looks for being so excited and screaming so loud when they were on.
I'm so jealous!! I've seen them 3 times and they never played this😮
I love this band!! and This song!!
My favourite Breaking Benjamin song
Even more so than Diary of Jane eh?
@@akrilothae9392 thats what I was gonna say
Beautiful words. Visceral music. Undeniably powerful.
Breaking Benjamin is probably the best friend I have ever heard in my entire life I Love Rock and I love baking Benjamin I hope they keep it going
What a sad bitch you must be

WHAT. A. VOICE!!!
my favorite? all of them obviously.
You just shut up
lol love this song so much. I was singing it in Math class when the teacher yelled at me
Only Breaking Benjamin could make a song about the Wizard of Oz sound amazing
love being from Northeastern PA just like them. saw them last night with Disturbed and I almost shit myself when they started playing this.
I'm seeing them tomorrow night! I better bring an extra pair of pants
its amazing you got to see this song live! I can only pray Lawrd they play this Saturday!
Tyler Seidel i saw them last summer with disturbed they did not play this but i understand why, they are not from Missouri. but it still was a beautiful show badass and all.

Typical BB fans bragging about incontinence, if apes could talk they wouldn't do that
This song is about Wizard of Oz and it's fucking awesome.
Blackened Captain Obvious...
Really?
This song is a subtle as a pedophile at a wiggles concert
Grangis Jefe pls explain bro i read somewhere that this song is about a child being abuse by adults maybe his parents
Nope, the song is about wizard of Oz, every line tells you about the movie, pls don't say anything of pedo, BB is a great band, don't spill bullshit on their name
No more belligerent hate. May God wash it all away in endless flames 🔥
My father showed me this song and I think it is really catchy
The extended play version of "Home" is also phenomenal!
Wow do you even say your name, get a proper name
I actually worked with a drummer for a band that opened for these guys all the time and got to know them, great band and one of the most talented song writers in a very long time, and one of my favorites, wishing ben the best for a speedy recovery.

Listening to a song like this, then going forward and listing to one of their newer songs... It's amazing to see how much they've improved. Which is surprising, because this is pretty damn difficult to improve on.
I hooked up my playstation 2 yesterday after buying RUN LIKE HELL at a pawn shop, and now I love this song.
I LOVE the chorus in this song! Too bad the first verse skips it. Great song, one of their best.
Just want to say to people who are bitching about the band that music isn't about popularity or who has been around the longest it's about what it inspires you to do and feel. Hate or like the band it's up to you but let people have their freedom!
Breaking Benjamin: "Crawling in my skin, hope is futile, existence is agony"
Also Breaking Benjamin: "lol wizard of oz"
Oh god. I used to listen to this song on repeat on the bus to my middle school. I don't know WHY I stopped listening to them!
Having lived in Kansas my whole life this song always has meant something special to me it's like wizard of Oz was set in Kansas this song is called home and Kansas is my home
"There's a man made of tin, with an oil can grin" my favorite part
This should've been played at the end of Oz the Great and Powerful and not that Marian Carey bullsh**.
Or at the end of SciFi's Tin Man. That was a great tv movie, and back when SyFy had good movies
Great idea on how to make an objectively shitty movie even more unbearable
This song would be great for every 2002-2004 film
@@RUS7YS Trolling dummy
@Grangis Jefe you must be really desperate for some attention then considering you respond to almost every comment.
I’ve been looking for this song periodically for the better part of 15 years. I can’t believe I finally found it!
omg this has ear wormed me for the past week im so glad to finally find it
I still listen to this in 2017 such a wonderful song 🐦
Why though?
This is just awesome!
My two loves Wizard of Oz and Breaking Benjamin!!
My life is complete!
Heard Saturate ONCE. That was 14 years ago. ANYONE who puts BB #1 on their list gets my respect. Mr. Hatfield & Co. can go pound sand!
Hatfield and co?
Harrison Bowman he's talking about Metallica.
It is about time to go, about time to go home with Jesus and those who don't want to go you're missing out 7 years in heaven compared to 7 years down here no thanks 👍 Jesus is Lord
