I'm a 38 year old man who has lost his entire bloodline. In the last 12 years I've lost my father, mother, sister and daughter. I've been dealing with depression my entire life even before all that. This music...especially this band brought me hope when nothing else could . Its a reminder that there are people fighting their own inner wars on a daily basis. So maybe the best thing to do is listen to them . Cause they might not have anyone to listen . Lucky enough my childhood sweetheart and I were reunited . I now have two wonderful step sons and a beautiful loving wife that help me come back from the edge of darkness every day. The beautiful thing is that they don't even know what they have done for me. So I stay strong for them . Thanks to all for reading . And also to breaking benjamin for putting their thoughts out there for us to cling to.
My 11 year old daughter came into my room "Dad I can't listen to one of the songs you listen to, it makes me cry". But she had no idea what song it was. I listen to a lot of guitar rock, which isn't generally the type of music that would illicit such a response. Then we were in our vehicle and this song came on, and she broke down "This is the one, THIS song". I had been singing it a lot also. She's been through a lot since her mom left us, but this is the first time I've seen a song tear her up so badly. I have to be careful where I listen to this song now, that's the downside. But goes to show just how powerful this song really is.
I lost my wife of 18 years 3 years ago. I still wake up and turn over looking for her and for a moment I don't understand why she's not there, then it hits me like it was just yesterday.
Will the faithful be rewarded When we come to the end Will I miss the final warning From the lie that I have lived Is there anybody calling I can see the soul within And I am not worthy I am not worthy of this Are you with me after all Why can't I hear you Are you with me through it all Then why can't I feel you Stay with me, don't let me go Because there's nothing left at all Stay with me, don't let me go Until the Ashes of Eden fall Will the darkness fall upon me When the air is growing thin Will the light begin to pull me To its everlasting will I can hear the voices haunting There is nothing left to fear And I am still calling I am still calling to you Are you with me after all Why can't I hear you Are you with me through it all Then why can't I feel you Stay with me, don't let me go Because there's nothing left at all Stay with me, don't let me go Until the Ashes of Eden fall Don't let go Why can't I hear you Stay with me, don't let me go Because there's nothing left at all Stay with me, don't let me go Until the Ashes of Eden fall Heaven above me, take my hand (Stay with me, don't let me go) Shine until there's nothing left but you Heaven above me, take my hand (Stay with me, don't let me go) Shine until there's nothing left but you
Breaking Benjamin has played a big part in my young adulthood. Still to this day I can come back and listen. It allows me to remember days long gone but deeply cherished. There might be a video to this song but when you close your eyes you vision yourself facing against the world.
😢I feel ya! This song makes me think of my boyfriend that passed away in March 2019. I'm a huge fan of breaking benjamin. I have no idea how I never heard this song before until now.
My alcoholism left me dead for years and all I wanted was my son and his mom but they left me because of me. But then I fought it and it was not easy. Now I have them and everytime I listen to this song. It Gives me hope.
Good to hear man! I'm 3 and a half weeks sober. Longest I've gone in 12 years. Can't wait to see what it's like further down the road. Alcoholism has taken so much from me.
I fought my hardest to defeat the disease of alcoholism. i did well for a couple years but im watching my world crumble again. Id rather not feel these emotions again so i decided to pick up drinking because when im blacked out drunk i dont have to feel. When i feel it drives me to insanity because i dont know how to handle the darkness even though its all ive known. Youd think id grow accustomed yet i yearn for something i knew once that was all lie. She lied to me to better herself. I wish i was narcissist so didnt have to feel.
I'd argue that they have actually changed quite a bit over the years, just listen to the songs on Saturate and compare it to Dear Agony. With that said, they didn't change too much after the hiatus :)
I’m 55 and Breaking Benjamin has been my favorite band for 20 years . The vocals and lyrics have meant so much to me at many different crossroads of my life . Thank you BB you guys are definitely an inspiration to so many.
Wish I could hear a band that made a difference at my age.. I’m 23, and I only wish to hear this music when it was new and meant the same thing to me as it meant to my parents
I'm 44 and BB is my favorite also. Still have the logo on the back of my tryck and go to every concert when they come ❤❤ There isn't music like this anymore glad we had it growing up.
I truly love the fact that comments' section of this kind of songs are always full of people's story, their pain, their experiences. It really gives me strength and hope. It helps me to keep going until the very end and Thank you. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, FOR BEING YOU. ALL OF YOU. WE ARE HERE TO STAY!!! ♥︎ Sending warmest hugs ♥︎♥︎♥︎
I read the comments all videos I watch but especially on songs like this. I look felt the comments that mention suicide and leave a comment asking if they are all right, even if the comment is years old. A basic interaction asking if someone is ok goes a lot further than one might think. I know from experience being on the other end
yyour comment reminded me of when i heard this song... i was in college then... i discovered it months after my gf had broke up with me.. that was almost 5 years ago, here i am revisited by the song but a reminder of where i came from, and how i got out of that hole. hiho commenters that will see this from now on hiho
I lost my wife back in 2006 to Leukemia. She died in my arms. I sometimes wake in the night hearing those last breaths. They say that memories fade over time but what if you chose to remember? Thanks for saving my life with your music Mr. Burnley.
I’m old enough I’ve lost most people I loved! People act like they are going to live forever, your not!! Your time here is but a brief moment. Life is the beautiful lie death is the painful truth! My loved ones are out there somewhere I’ll never not believe that! The universe has no bet or end and I know our energy our souls will be together forever after this brief moment here. I can feel them I truly can
I am only 14 years old, and currently in foster care and I barely know my family members and most of them have passed due to diabetes, and I had to go through all that pain by myself and I just want to say thank you to then band for making this song because it really helped me go through my pain and wonder about my family members that i never got a chance to meet, so thank you for that.
Hey, I want to let you know that my nieces and nephews went through a lot of the same shit you're going through now. They ended up adopted to a lovely couple and are growing up to be great people. I know it's hard for you right now, and no one can promise you that it's gonna get better. But know that you're not alone. Others have been where you are and come out on the better side of it. Keep your chin up. Keep letting music lift you and do right by everyone around you. I don't know you, but I'm in your corner.
Firstly, I give my sympathies for your situstion. Secondly: Stay strong. Make friends. Accept people who uplift you. I'm happy BB can give hope and strength even after all these years. I hope.you continue to enjoy their music on your journey and one day find peace with your situation, and most of all be welcomed to the arms of a family who will be what you need. I hope you continue to hold strength in your lowest and still rise up.
Child, you've got a lot ahead of you don't think you don't. This world is harsh. But that does not mean it has to be with you, Your living God brought you into this world and don't think he gave up on you, He is waiting on you to realize who you are, Shine on you crazy diamond. The kingdom is at hand.
Thank you. I am a Marine corps infantry veteran of Afghanistan, and this haunting song is one of the few things that helps me sleep. Please keep making wonderful art.
I am a Marine Corps Tanker (M1A1 battle tank). I lost brothers in Iraq. You are not alone brother. I have 2 younger brothers that served in the USMC infantry, one of which suffers from PTSD. I hope you find solace in music. Keep up the fight brother, I'll fight for you!
Living with depression watching as people walk out of my life cause they "can't handle it" this song brings some comfort. "Stay with me dont let me go cause there's nothing left at all" hits hard
Oh but there is, there really is. We are all something pretty special. And we are all here bc of our taste in music, I think that's pretty epic. Stay strong 💜⚡💡🖤🖤🤘🤘
Some people just aren't fit to be in our lives. Yes it hurts and it makes us question our own self worth. But hold on, there are people who can/will/want to be in your life. Dont put your life on pause for people who were only meant to be chapters in our lives. Stay strong.
never stop being who you are, if a person does not allow you to continue with your tastes it means that that person is not the one, take your time, breaking benjamin is a good band and you will find someone with your same tastes or who shares the idea
What is our brief moment here on this miserable planet compared to eternity?? Look! Everybody believe in what you want but I’ll never believe this is it!! What is next I don’t know? But there is more. The universe has no beginning or end nor does time, our energy is going somewhere after this flesh and blood vessel ends, and honestly I’m kinda looking forward to it.
I lost my mom two weeks ago (26/03/2022) and every evening as the sun is setting I always listen to this song when I visit her grave, spend time with her till dark. 🖤💔
I understand your pain. My mom passed away last night (11.22.2022) and im going through a lot right now. But I have to be strong and be there for my dad... he needs me... It's so hard because my heart is in a billion pieces...
I'm so sorry for you loss, it's going to get better. You never get over the loss or sorrow but you will learn to live with it. I lost my mother september 1 2009, and I still miss her but I've learnt to live with it and without her. They will always be in our hearts, with ous in spirit and watch over ous. Remember a person is never really gone as long as whe remember them and chare those memories with others.
I lost my boyfriend 2 and a half weeks ago. We used to listen to Breaking Benjamin together all the time. Tomorrow night I see them live for the very first time. I know there will be so many tears....
This song saved my life, I’m not just saying that. When i didnt even know my own self worth in this world i would sit up all night long contemplating life and why i was even here. I stumbled across this song 5 years ago and have replayed it over 20,000 times, it can relate to life, love, and or God for many. Thank you Breaking Benjamin for this song. It brought something to me that helped me heal from so much. Now please….. do this one at your concerts every time. I came to their concert and they didn’t do this one, i was heartbroken but this song is an awakening. This song contributed in a life saved.
I see them tonight in concert for the second time. First time was years ago tho. Only So Cold was out. I really really hope they play this 🎶 song🤍🖤 I totally relate. Their music has got me through a lot
The love of my life passed away April 10th, she was pregnant with our unborn child. Breaking Benjamin's been helping me get through this, I don't know if I will but they ease the pain.
Man.. i cant even begin to imagine what youre going through... i hope you find the strength to move forward. Just know that they will always be with you , watching over you.
I'm so sorry for both of your losses. I'm here too listening to this song, looking for some ease of this pain I feel after losing my daughter from hypotension on March 10th of this year. I'm hoping one day I get to see her again, and I pray this for you and your family. Stay strong and stay safe brother.
Cried my eyes out at their concert during this song. I felt so silly crying, but this song reminds me of my Daddy. He's been gone 8 years, and my heart will remain broken, forever. Under the Moon and stars, and the warm summer breeze, I know he is near me. 💖🌌This song is just beautiful.
I'm sure your dad is watching over u from the heavens. Just know that no matter how long he I gone, he will always be by your side. Nobody is gone forever just as long as you still remember them. And if you ever forget about someone then so do the memories you ever had with them. So never forget him. I will pray for you and your family's health.
I am a 34 year old widower. I have loved Breaking Benjamin since HS. Me and my wife's second date was to see them in concert where she fell in love with this band. We both loved this song before she passed. Now when I hear it I really do feel like I can hear her and feel her...weird I know. Also my four year old loves it he calls it the sad song and asks to listen to it a couple of times a week. He has no idea of the significance of it to his mother yet.
It's strange to me that no one understood the deep meaning of this song and this video. As you know, our entire universe consists of small "bricks" called "atoms". Hydrogen and helium atoms are the most abundant in our universe. These two elements arose as a result of nucleosynthesis in the first minutes of the life of the universe in a concentration of 75% hydrogen 25% helium. It is from these elements and in such a proportion that the stars are composed. The stars are the beginning and foundation of our world. After the death of stars, all the chemical elements that were formed in it are in space in the form of a nebula from which new star systems are then born, that is, planets and stars. The death of such stars contributed to the birth of our star system and our planet. Oxygen in our atmosphere, calcium in our bones, iron in our blood and the rest of the atoms of our body and everything that surrounds us were born in the interior of stars as a result of nuclear fusion. There is simply no other way to get all these chemical elements. We are nothing but stardust.I want to say that in this video a very curious moment was shown, where they burn up in the atmosphere of the earth, and then life on earth arises from their atoms. After hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, they meet again in a different guise. Who knows, it might actually be possible.
Feel foolish posting this but today is the first time I have heard this incredible song. Well after 12 plays in a row i am still pulling out meaning. What an amazing song.
Me to my angels every night: "Stay with me don't let me go" I have suicidal thoughts and a very hard night every day. This song reminds me that I never give up fighting and never give up my hope...
Your stronger than you give yourself credit for. believe in the power to live thru each day like you are and dont forget to lean on others for support when you feel your at your wits end. i have faith in you that you will see the light at the end of the tunnel in this life and not the next. i face suicidal shit myself and so i say this to you, because i had always needed someone to say it to me all those years ago. you can do it. you have the power to do anything you set your mind to.
After 4 years and the year 2020 who still gets goosebumps when they listen to this song and think of someone at that certain time in the past 4 years!!! This song will always be in my heart from 2020 and beyond, until the ahses of eden fall
Took the words from my mouth I seen them in concert 10 years ago for the first time never knowing who they were and I'm so glad I did this bands songs truly saved my life ;
In honor of Adam Grimes my husband who went to heaven July 13th 2022. Suddenly & quickly he passed and my life turned upside down. He loved Breaking Benjamin and we would listen to this song all the time. Has a whole new meaning now. He was 40 years young, married 18 years and 2 beautiful children.
I'm honestly so sorry, I know you posted this awhile back but 40 is way too young , I hope everything works out for you and the children..love this song , it's amazing
Breaking Benjamin's Phobia and Dear Agony albums got me through some hard times between 2007-2011. I discovered Dark Before Dawn 6 months ago and can't wait for Ember. Absolutely love this band. ❤️
This song is absolutely phenomenal. It's one of those rare melodies that just never gets old no matter how many times you hear it. If anything you learn how well-designed this song really is the more you hear it. Vocally it's perfect, lyrically it's very deep, and all in all it's one of Breaking Benjamin's best. Very, very well made.
When the Chorus says: "Stay with me, don't let me go." I believe it is the perspective of Jesus Christ, talking to the believer in doubt in his faith. God will never leave nor forsake you. Therefore for this chorus to make sense, it's God speaking this part. May God bless you, everyone reading this.
LYRICS: Will the faithful be rewarded When we come to the end Will I miss the final warning From the lie that I have lived Is there anybody calling I can see the soul within And I am not worthy I am not worthy of this Are you with me after all Why can't I hear you Are you with me through it all Then why can't I feel you Stay with me, don't let me go Because there's nothing left at all Stay with me, don't let me go Until the Ashes of Eden fall Will the darkness fall upon me When the air is growing thin Will the light begin to pull me To its everlasting will I can hear the voices haunting There is nothing left to fear And I am still calling I am still calling to you Are you with me after all Why can't I hear you Are you with me through it all Then why can't I feel you Stay with me, don't let me go Because there's nothing left at all Stay with me, don't let me go Until the Ashes of Eden fall Don't let go Why can't I hear you Stay with me, don't let me go Because there's nothing left at all Stay with me, don't let me go Until the Ashes of Eden fall Heaven above me, take my hand (Stay with me, don't let me go) Shine until there's nothing left but you Heaven above me, take my hand (Stay with me, don't let me go) Shine until there's nothing left but you
Airaku Because they felt like it. Just like you felt the need to post a smug reply. Just like I felt like replying to your smug comment. Mystery solved.
+Airaku I know they are, but some people like me prefer to be able to read the upcoming lyrics, instead of having to read them the moment they're sang. :)
I can usually sing along with songs and be pretty satisfied with how I sound compared but with him, it's very difficult. He has a very different way to the tone in his voice. It's very controlled which is very impressive.
Sorry for your loss, my dad passed away a few years ago exactly on the same day of the month he was born. Once a marine always a marine, take care my friend
I love the Adam and Eve vibe of this music video but the best part is the subtle Yin Yang imagery between the two of them at the end. The guy has no hair but has a black beard, the girl has a clean face and light colored hair, he's wearing a black leather jacket with a white shirt and she's wearing a white leather jacket with a black shirt. A clever metaphor conveying that although man and woman are different, they complement each other as does all the opposing forces that make up the universe. Day and night, hot and cold, light and dark, life and death, etc... a brilliant video for a brilliant song.
This video...gets me every time. It never gets old. The sacrifices we make for or Twin Souls. No cost is too great, or too high to retrieve our other half. I love the silver cord symbolism. Says it all!
This song is so touching - every time i hear I think of God and how I have sinned and still God loves me and all of us never forget … never let go never let go never let go
What I truly love about the music of Breaking Benjamin, is that the meaning of each song is left to the listener to decipher for him/herself. So many angles to relate to this song in particular, but a universal expression of love, pain, & redemption all mixed into one track. Aside from the powerful tenor vocals of Ben & the talented musicians alongside him, they find an intrinsic way of connecting to their fans & listeners... it's an emotional, psychological adventure of life's journey, at various stages, that yields it power in indescribable ways... it simply touches your soul & connects you to the world around us. "Ashes of Eden" will endure the test of time... may it bring you all the peace, joy, & forgiveness we all deserve. God bless!
This song makes me think about my dad. He passed away on November 8, 2017 from a battle with a very rare and aggressive cancer know as large cell neuroendocrine. I’m 22 now and I was 20 when he died. I love you and miss you so much dad
I’ve lived with depression all my life. Two times I tired to end everything. To release the pain and darkness. But music has always been my safe place. Music has always helped push me forward. When life gets so hard that you wish a bullet ends it doesn’t mean you a lost case. It means reach out and ask for help. We aren’t here by ourselves. We are here with the people who love us. Loves not defined by blood it defined by the person who is willing to wrap their arms around you and not let go. To anyone suffering from depression know you are loved and know you are worth it.
Same. Tried 44 years ago. Failed. 1 year ago drank 2 fifths in about an hour and half. Still woke up. I began to immerse myself into music and it is keeping me going. Four of my six kids chose to follow difficult lives because one tried LSD. My wife of 28 years stopped loving me 9 years ago. Now I am climbing out of the pit one note at a time. I write music and songs. I play and sing at church and at open mic nights. I am actively seeking to get my songs out there. Music and God are leading me back to life
Every verse of this song hits you to the core, gives you chills and can even make you emotional. Depression is a disease that we all live with, some people can find salvation through Christ or loved ones... Then some people don't get so lucky, if you know of anyone that is struggling do not ignore them. You may be the only thing stopping them from ending their life or doing something they will regret. We all have our demons we battle on a daily basis, you don't know what they are going through. Don't be so quick to judge, everyone's life is sacred because we only get 1 chance at life...no redos. I'm 28 years old, I have battled depression all my life. I still do, I'm a quiet person by nature so it hits me harder because I don't talk much. What keeps me fighting is my loving wife and kids, she supports me and trusts me. The love of a woman is a incredible feeling, to have someone by your side through life. Depression is a crippling disease, help anyone in need. You could be there last salvation.......
I used to play this song to my daughter. She was in my womb at the time. She is three now. I played it and she came running in where I was and danced around to it. It was beautiful.
my son will be 2 in february, when he was in my stomach i always played “Dancing with the devil” he would kick like crazy. now that he’s here at any point in time he’s screaming you play this and he’s clam, he also head bangs to it
I'm so sorry you lost your brother. Sending you light and love🌌💕 This song definitely hits the heart for alot of people... I know tears immediately roll down my cheeks when I hear it. Just let them flow~
Holy shit, I just got flash backs to when me and my brother were younger and played on our mom's SNES. We would play Super Mario Bros and he'd always be my Luigi. It was so much fun. Then, the next thought I had, was us a few years ago playing cod zombies split screen, and we'd always blame each other for how bad we were. Then lastly, I had the thought of, what if I lost him? I'd have nobody to sit there and play videogames with after he's gone. Sure I could play with my sister, but it just wouldn't be the same.
My Grandson was named Benjamin after this band. Our dysfunctional family won't allow me to see him for whatever reason. I'm so so sad over it as he's my one and only Grandchild. Since the minute Ben was born, this is the only song that would calm him during distress. So now I listen to it over and over because thats all I have left. If you ever get to read this sometime, Bennie, I LOVE YOU!! ALWAYS in my heart!!❤😪
I hope he reaches out to you. I'm so sorry. I have a dysfunctional family, too, and I know how hard it is. I hope wherever Benjamin is, he knows you love him, and he loves you too❤
This song is quite amazing. Deeply spiritual, brutality honest, awe inspiring, sifi theme with romance and true sacrificial love. Brilliant. Beautiful. We need more like this. And I want this movie!
Every now & then I listen to this song, it helps me remember those that are no longer among the living I hope & prey that they are watching over me until it's my time to join them.
i didnt like them very much in my twenties, but i recently rediscovered them in my mid 40s and i have so say, i freaking love them. maybe it was the name? young and stupid i guess. thease guys make MUSIC and im sad i didnt appreciate it earlier in life, but i guess thats how we grow. god bless, gods bless, goddesses bless and allah bless
This song is dedicated to my wife. Got hurt in the line of duty. Lost my career. Lost my abilty to walk or stand without help. And its destroyed me. Pain is 2 7 for past 5 years now. My wife has gone through hell with me. And yet she still is there for me. Standing when i cant stand. She wont let go. No matter what. Im blessed. And this song just reminds me of our love. Thank you Ben for this masterpiece!
Just can never describe the feelings this song gives me. Feeling so lost and confused in my life right now, and this song brings me both despair and hope at the same time. Knowing that I need to push forward and hoping that something will stay with me to keep moving me forward when I just want to stop.
When my father died this year after day of February 14 he never left my mom since high school this was the first song I herd after he passed away. Thank You I love your music.
As a Breaking Benjamin Fan, I’ve always had a huge connection with their music and meaningful lyrics that bring out all of our emotions and personal experiences that we all go through as humanity during these unprecedented times. Thank you Ben for all the awesome music , you are a legend 🤟🏻
My wife was recently killed in a car accident and she absolutely loved this band an had seem them in concert a dozen times so I listen to this song every day on my way home RIP!!! Toni
This is the first Breaking Benjamin song since So Cold that I've sit and listened for hours on repeat. Hitting home like a mother fucker, too. Thanks, Ben.
This song talks about Ben doubting and questioning his faith. He then turns to God in hope that he will forgive him and stay with him... until the Ashes of Eden fall...
I asked him about what this song means, he said “whatever you think it means” ☺️ I told him I thought it was about faith, losing hope and trying to find the way back.he smiled ☺️ so whatever you personally think this song is about, that’s what he wants you to believe
That is awesome. I had my bf listen to this song the other day it is also his ringtone most recently. We have been having many issues these last few months. We have told each other everything and this song means so much to us. I believe it will be our wedding song as it has helped us and will continue to help us. Its our anthem.
I miss my mom and her boyfriend being together when he told me that I was heartbroken and I was crying for 3days and now I sing this song to remind me that he still loves me and my mom and my sister and now they are friends right now I have been depressed a lot
Wow, I haven’t cried for anything in several years and this actually made me tear up. Laying next to my wife in bed trying not to wake her up because I’d be embarrassed. Song reminded me of my grandpa and how I wish I would never see the day that he passes away. We are so close but since we moved several years ago I don’t get to see him often. I miss him and cherish every moment I have with him.
This song reminds me of everything I've been through and how I've fought so hard to conquer the darkness I've known so we'll. For those who have come and gone, the words help me to over come the bitterness just as they help me to be thankful for those who've stayed. I am so thankful for this band and can't wait to see them in October when they come to California this year!
This song reminds me of my son. He passed in 2016 of an OD and was only 21. This song came out shortly after he passed and it really hit home. I love these guys!!
I’m 52 I’ve lost so many loved ones, I know they are still here but they are where whatever is next! The universe has no beginning or end and time doesn’t exist, we are here just a brief vapor in time, there is a forever, what you think that is is up to you, but one thing for sure we are all headed there!
This is the greatest song of all time. Benjamin Burnley is the greatest songwriter of all time. This song came out over 3 years ago and I still listen to it nonstop. It's utter perfection in every aspect. ❤
This song is spiritual for me all the things I been though reminds me god is allways with me even when iam alone there is somone who will never leave me and will allways want to be with me Iam never alone that god for everything even the bad times that brought me closer to you
I swear your comment is the exact thing my wife told me and then few days later my pastor preached on it . Was in self destruct mode then now songs like this keep me focused on the good things .thanks for sharing . Since Chester s gone this now my band .
I feel the same way. It is groups like Breaking Benjamin who truly care for the lives and souls of others. We need more music artists like this. God has done amazing things through them and others such as Anberlin.
This got to be one of Benjamin best songs done. Whenever I listen and sing, tears will shed. It really got me. There are many different meaning to different people. For me it me thinking when I was so despaired and deserted, not worthy of anything in life. When people say they will be there for me, but where are they when I needed most? I have to pul myself together by myself alone to stay strong and move on. At the moment it's my top playlist and not without a day I do not listen to this song
I have severe depression and anxiety and lost many friends because they couldn't "deal with it". Now I know who my true friends are who have stuck by my side when I was at rock bottom,
if you're buddies couldn't simply stick with you and tell you everything's gonna be alright then they weren't friends in the first place, you're real friends are gonna stick with you 100% and make sure you're alright. I obviously don't know who you are but i'll be that friend to tell you everything is alright, now matter how hard shit gets, just keep you're head up homie everything'll be good in the end if you just hold on.
i'm not sure that's the best way to say it. you're looking down on those people who took their lives because they're not here today? evidently you've never felt life taking depression. some people cant see a way out, and are so terrified to let people see their life they can't ask for help.
@@johnmack20 no he meant people leave when their bad thoughts come out anyone with depression will tell a lot of people leave when they said stuff like they loved you the day before if you cant be friends with someone in their darkest hours dont come running when they are at their best goes with relationships too
You'll really freak out when you realize the One who created you was with you all the time. He never left you while all you were going though your drama. Who do you think got you to this point that I commented to you? Physical people? No my friend, it was the living God within you all this time. Talk to Him, He'll get rid of those pesky problems you have. Be One with Him. You are His son.
Scientists have been looking for a theory where humans could describe the entire universe... but the answer was found by a band and transcripted into a beautiful song...
This song just has so much depth and feeling... I truly feel it through my mind body and soul and that is such a rare feeling to get from music alone.. i will forever love and appreciate this song and the i pact it has on me in such a way i can't properly put into words or even verbalize. One of the very least to exist it honestly feels heavenly and sad but in a rewarding type kf way , i do t know if that makes any sense but i will listen to this song for the remainder of my life. Thanks Breaking Benjamen
Man that guy has a fantastic voice! I think the band has been underrated their entire existence. I have a ton of respect that they have been around so long and have stayed true to their roots in music.
It's about having someone with whom you would rather die while holding in your arms than to live on without, and being able to see them again in the end.
+E U P H O R I A that makes perfect sense! Tbh I felt the lyrics were telling a different story at first, but now that I think about the video I think it actually really works. The title references the biblical garden of Eden, and the story of Adam and Eve like you said. In the beginning there is a technological eden, a paradise. When one person literally fell out, like Eve did in Genesis, another person chose to follow them rather than having to live without them. Does this make Ben like God and the band like angels? After the two people died, there was no more Eden (hence, the "ashes") but they were still able to be with each other in a lesser sphere of existence.
I don't know why people can't see the validity of this song. Even after living 43 years in a shaddow of untruths, I can feel hope. I don't need a label to prove to me that God sees us, and mercy is shown through grace. What we see fails, what we are tethered to in the end, saves you. This song is a tribute to the loving Troubadour's who choose to value the unseen. I am one.
I'm a 38 year old man who has lost his entire bloodline. In the last 12 years I've lost my father, mother, sister and daughter. I've been dealing with depression my entire life even before all that. This music...especially this band brought me hope when nothing else could . Its a reminder that there are people fighting their own inner wars on a daily basis. So maybe the best thing to do is listen to them . Cause they might not have anyone to listen . Lucky enough my childhood sweetheart and I were reunited . I now have two wonderful step sons and a beautiful loving wife that help me come back from the edge of darkness every day. The beautiful thing is that they don't even know what they have done for me. So I stay strong for them . Thanks to all for reading . And also to breaking benjamin for putting their thoughts out there for us to cling to.
Wow man
i feel ya bro! 38yo and this song gives me hope!
🙏💯
I know your pain man I've lost alot of family alot of time ill never get back but this song here keeps me thinking their here with me no matter what
This is also the fav song of my fiance who passed away due to covid-19
My 11 year old daughter came into my room "Dad I can't listen to one of the songs you listen to, it makes me cry". But she had no idea what song it was. I listen to a lot of guitar rock, which isn't generally the type of music that would illicit such a response. Then we were in our vehicle and this song came on, and she broke down "This is the one, THIS song". I had been singing it a lot also. She's been through a lot since her mom left us, but this is the first time I've seen a song tear her up so badly. I have to be careful where I listen to this song now, that's the downside. But goes to show just how powerful this song really is.
Holy shit.....I'm so sorry you've been through all this...
Oh men, thats sounds too sad
I'm sorry for all your suffering (sorry by my bad english)
I lost my wife of 18 years 3 years ago. I still wake up and turn over looking for her and for a moment I don't understand why she's not there, then it hits me like it was just yesterday.
Sending hugs to you both from Wisconsin
@Just A Guy - nah, just a Dad who cares :)
Will the faithful be rewarded
When we come to the end
Will I miss the final warning
From the lie that I have lived
Is there anybody calling
I can see the soul within
And I am not worthy
I am not worthy of this
Are you with me after all
Why can't I hear you
Are you with me through it all
Then why can't I feel you
Stay with me, don't let me go
Because there's nothing left at all
Stay with me, don't let me go
Until the Ashes of Eden fall
Will the darkness fall upon me
When the air is growing thin
Will the light begin to pull me
To its everlasting will
I can hear the voices haunting
There is nothing left to fear
And I am still calling
I am still calling to you
Are you with me after all
Why can't I hear you
Are you with me through it all
Then why can't I feel you
Stay with me, don't let me go
Because there's nothing left at all
Stay with me, don't let me go
Until the Ashes of Eden fall
Don't let go
Why can't I hear you
Stay with me, don't let me go
Because there's nothing left at all
Stay with me, don't let me go
Until the Ashes of Eden fall
Heaven above me, take my hand (Stay with me, don't let me go)
Shine until there's nothing left but you
Heaven above me, take my hand (Stay with me, don't let me go)
Shine until there's nothing left but you
William Bawdon most beautiful lyrics I've ever heard
or... you could enable subtitles
William Bawdon 💜thank you
omg thanks
The only song that has the capability of making me cry after all these years. It just hits the soul ❤
Agreed luv, interesting name,can you elaborate on it? Thanks 😊
I was just listening to it the other day and balled my eyes out it’s such a powerful song!
Breaking Benjamin has played a big part in my young adulthood. Still to this day I can come back and listen. It allows me to remember days long gone but deeply cherished.
There might be a video to this song but when you close your eyes you vision yourself facing against the world.
That is why I love this song so much. It touches my soul in a way very few things can.
😢I feel ya! This song makes me think of my boyfriend that passed away in March 2019. I'm a huge fan of breaking benjamin. I have no idea how I never heard this song before until now.
This song is so under appreciated. It's absolutely beautiful.
I agree beautiful and soothing calms anyone :)
It has almost 13,000,000 views.
It’s one of their best in my opinion, and it’s amazing live
usernamesareforidiot o
Just discovered them by accident :) glad I did
My alcoholism left me dead for years and all I wanted was my son and his mom but they left me because of me. But then I fought it and it was not easy. Now I have them and everytime I listen to this song. It Gives me hope.
Same. Much love brother. Stay sober
I'm so happy to hear that. Glad you found peace
Im in the middle of the same situation. Its getting too hard to keep going
Good to hear man! I'm 3 and a half weeks sober. Longest I've gone in 12 years. Can't wait to see what it's like further down the road. Alcoholism has taken so much from me.
I fought my hardest to defeat the disease of alcoholism. i did well for a couple years but im watching my world crumble again. Id rather not feel these emotions again so i decided to pick up drinking because when im blacked out drunk i dont have to feel. When i feel it drives me to insanity because i dont know how to handle the darkness even though its all ive known. Youd think id grow accustomed yet i yearn for something i knew once that was all lie. She lied to me to better herself. I wish i was narcissist so didnt have to feel.
ah Breaking Benjamin. The only band that realizes they don't need to change their sound because it's already perfect
Agreed. :)
I'd argue that they have actually changed quite a bit over the years, just listen to the songs on Saturate and compare it to Dear Agony. With that said, they didn't change too much after the hiatus :)
I could listen to this a thousand times over Linkin Park Heavy.
heavy may have been bad but at least one more light was amazing and hearfelt
I think this have much pitch correction, I can hear it all the time. This is the only thing that can be better. However, this is an awesome song
I’m 55 and Breaking Benjamin has been my favorite band for 20 years . The vocals and lyrics have meant so much to me at many different crossroads of my life . Thank you BB you guys are definitely an inspiration to so many.
Wish I could hear a band that made a difference at my age.. I’m 23, and I only wish to hear this music when it was new and meant the same thing to me as it meant to my parents
I'm 44 and BB is my favorite also. Still have the logo on the back of my tryck and go to every concert when they come ❤❤
There isn't music like this anymore glad we had it growing up.
54 here and listening to these guys is the only way I can experience what My life should have been but for my ruining it ❤
I truly love the fact that comments' section of this kind of songs are always full of people's story, their pain, their experiences. It really gives me strength and hope. It helps me to keep going until the very end and Thank you. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE, FOR BEING YOU. ALL OF YOU. WE ARE HERE TO STAY!!! ♥︎
Sending warmest hugs ♥︎♥︎♥︎
I read the comments all videos I watch but especially on songs like this. I look felt the comments that mention suicide and leave a comment asking if they are all right, even if the comment is years old. A basic interaction asking if someone is ok goes a lot further than one might think. I know from experience being on the other end
@@patrickschardt7724 Hope you are okay♥︎
yyour comment reminded me of when i heard this song... i was in college then... i discovered it months after my gf had broke up with me.. that was almost 5 years ago, here i am revisited by the song but a reminder of where i came from, and how i got out of that hole. hiho commenters that will see this from now on hiho
@@patrickschardt7724 you my friend an absolute gem and great human being. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, truly.

I lost my wife back in 2006 to Leukemia. She died in my arms. I sometimes wake in the night hearing those last breaths. They say that memories fade over time but what if you chose to remember? Thanks for saving my life with your music Mr. Burnley.
God bless you brother.
God bless you my brother
Sad
I’m old enough I’ve lost most people I loved! People act like they are going to live forever, your not!! Your time here is but a brief moment. Life is the beautiful lie death is the painful truth! My loved ones are out there somewhere I’ll never not believe that! The universe has no bet or end and I know our energy our souls will be together forever after this brief moment here. I can feel them I truly can
❤️❤️❤️
My brother and I turned this into a duet. He passed during combat overseas before we could record it. Still brings me to my knees
Reading this made me almost cry.. I'm sorry
I'm really sorry for your brother. Hope his soul rests in peace... I'm crying right now
Breaks my heart to read this. I pray you will get to complete the duet someday.
Stop, I'm not crying you are
I am so sorry- god bless your brother and your family for going through what some can not. I hope the best for you in the future
I am only 14 years old, and currently in foster care and I barely know my family members and most of them have passed due to diabetes, and I had to go through all that pain by myself and I just want to say thank you to then band for making this song because it really helped me go through my pain and wonder about my family members that i never got a chance to meet, so thank you for that.
Hey, I want to let you know that my nieces and nephews went through a lot of the same shit you're going through now. They ended up adopted to a lovely couple and are growing up to be great people.
I know it's hard for you right now, and no one can promise you that it's gonna get better. But know that you're not alone. Others have been where you are and come out on the better side of it. Keep your chin up. Keep letting music lift you and do right by everyone around you.
I don't know you, but I'm in your corner.
I will pray for you 🙏 May many blessings come your way.
Firstly, I give my sympathies for your situstion. Secondly: Stay strong. Make friends. Accept people who uplift you.
I'm happy BB can give hope and strength even after all these years. I hope.you continue to enjoy their music on your journey and one day find peace with your situation, and most of all be welcomed to the arms of a family who will be what you need. I hope you continue to hold strength in your lowest and still rise up.
Point North and stay positive.
Child, you've got a lot ahead of you don't think you don't. This world is harsh. But that does not mean it has to be with you, Your living God brought you into this world and don't think he gave up on you, He is waiting on you to realize who you are, Shine on you crazy diamond. The kingdom is at hand.
Thank you. I am a Marine corps infantry veteran of Afghanistan, and this haunting song is one of the few things that helps me sleep. Please keep making wonderful art.
Stay up brother. Army Vet here, and I pray for all my brother's over there
Thank you both for your service.
I am a Marine Corps Tanker (M1A1 battle tank). I lost brothers in Iraq. You are not alone brother. I have 2 younger brothers that served in the USMC infantry, one of which suffers from PTSD. I hope you find solace in music. Keep up the fight brother, I'll fight for you!
Thank you for your service brother. God Bless you.
Check..
Living with depression watching as people walk out of my life cause they "can't handle it" this song brings some comfort. "Stay with me dont let me go cause there's nothing left at all" hits hard
Oh but there is, there really is. We are all something pretty special. And we are all here bc of our taste in music, I think that's pretty epic. Stay strong 💜⚡💡🖤🖤🤘🤘
Some people just aren't fit to be in our lives. Yes it hurts and it makes us question our own self worth. But hold on, there are people who can/will/want to be in your life. Dont put your life on pause for people who were only meant to be chapters in our lives. Stay strong.
never stop being who you are, if a person does not allow you to continue with your tastes it means that that person is not the one, take your time, breaking benjamin is a good band and you will find someone with your same tastes or who shares the idea
ruclips.net/video/0lk4NlqJlKY/видео.html U gotta hear this track!
What is our brief moment here on this miserable planet compared to eternity?? Look! Everybody believe in what you want but I’ll never believe this is it!! What is next I don’t know? But there is more. The universe has no beginning or end nor does time, our energy is going somewhere after this flesh and blood vessel ends, and honestly I’m kinda looking forward to it.
This song is genuinely heartbreaking for some reason. Anyone else feel that way?
Yes
Yes... I lost my faith. I'm trying so hard to get it back, but I cant put it back in my heart.
@@aaronnelson3359 :/ i feel you.
@@aaronnelson3359 same. I lost my hope on everything. its hard. I don't want to hurt myself anymore.
@@JaneMed27 oh bro that’s awful the best thing for yourself should be to keep pushing threw no matter how hard things get
I lost my mom two weeks ago (26/03/2022) and every evening as the sun is setting I always listen to this song when I visit her grave, spend time with her till dark. 🖤💔
I understand your pain. My mom passed away last night (11.22.2022) and im going through a lot right now. But I have to be strong and be there for my dad... he needs me... It's so hard because my heart is in a billion pieces...
I'm so sorry for you loss, it's going to get better. You never get over the loss or sorrow but you will learn to live with it. I lost my mother september 1 2009, and I still miss her but I've learnt to live with it and without her. They will always be in our hearts, with ous in spirit and watch over ous. Remember a person is never really gone as long as whe remember them and chare those memories with others.
Sorry for your loss.
You didn't Lose her. You are going to be together again promise you.
RIP to your mom ❤️
Breaking Benjamin always were and will always be flawless.
Amen 👏💖
yes yes yes
yep exactly
agreed
obviusly (ﾉ*ﾟｰﾟ)ﾉ
as soon as this song starts
we all have someone on our minds
You had to say it didn't you
You’re so right!
Damn right man. Every time.
Frode Paulsen not to be ignorant, but I don’t know what you mean
My lovee
I lost my boyfriend 2 and a half weeks ago. We used to listen to Breaking Benjamin together all the time. Tomorrow night I see them live for the very first time. I know there will be so many tears....
My condolences Sarah, I think that I understand you, my grandfather passed away past week.
They're better then us now.
Sorry for your lose
Sorry to hear that😭, plz trust me I feel ur pain, I lost my fiance last week. This was gonna be playing at our wedding
Sarah 😔
I no ur pain its almost been a year since I lost my charlie I'm sorry but I don't think the pain will go away
This song saved my life, I’m not just saying that. When i didnt even know my own self worth in this world i would sit up all night long contemplating life and why i was even here. I stumbled across this song 5 years ago and have replayed it over 20,000 times, it can relate to life, love, and or God for many. Thank you Breaking Benjamin for this song. It brought something to me that helped me heal from so much. Now please….. do this one at your concerts every time. I came to their concert and they didn’t do this one, i was heartbroken but this song is an awakening. This song contributed in a life saved.
Awesome
Very Awesome..Broken right now myself..Ill be listening all night..Just cryin listening to it..
I see them tonight in concert for the second time. First time was years ago tho. Only So Cold was out. I really really hope they play this 🎶 song🤍🖤 I totally relate. Their music has got me through a lot
@@billy2276 I hope you’re doing better now 🖤🤍
That's amazing, it is a thought provoking song ❤
The love of my life passed away April 10th, she was pregnant with our unborn child. Breaking Benjamin's been helping me get through this, I don't know if I will but they ease the pain.
Man.. i cant even begin to imagine what youre going through... i hope you find the strength to move forward. Just know that they will always be with you , watching over you.
Stay strong brother. So sorry for your loss.
May God give you the peace that passeth all understanding! Just ask him! I'm praying for you!
I'm so sorry for both of your losses. I'm here too listening to this song, looking for some ease of this pain I feel after losing my daughter from hypotension on March 10th of this year. I'm hoping one day I get to see her again, and I pray this for you and your family. Stay strong and stay safe brother.
I would feel the same type of pain bro! Please hang on.. I hope you are doing ok right now. Live your life in cherishment!
How does this not have millions of views, I don't understand. Better than most songs that have over 100 million views
Because this video has only been out for 4 months.
I agree
Spencer Paul yeah but other videos that have been out 4 months have millions of views already and they are horrible videos and music haha
it has 4 million?
It's simple, Rock nowdays isn't as famous as pop, eletronic and rap music.
Cried my eyes out at their concert during this song. I felt so silly crying, but this song reminds me of my Daddy. He's been gone 8 years, and my heart will remain broken, forever. Under the Moon and stars, and the warm summer breeze, I know he is near me. 💖🌌This song is just beautiful.
I'm sure your dad is watching over u from the heavens. Just know that no matter how long he I gone, he will always be by your side. Nobody is gone forever just as long as you still remember them. And if you ever forget about someone then so do the memories you ever had with them. So never forget him. I will pray for you and your family's health.
Christina Gibson sorry for you loss. Just know that he is will always be in your heart.
Cristina Gibson I can relate, my father passed away this year, this pain is unlike any other
@@gabrielrodriguez1471 thank you for such kind words that warmed my heart. 💖
@@yourmomsimpsforme6938 thank you kindly. He is there, in my heart forever. 💞
I am a 34 year old widower. I have loved Breaking Benjamin since HS. Me and my wife's second date was to see them in concert where she fell in love with this band. We both loved this song before she passed. Now when I hear it I really do feel like I can hear her and feel her...weird I know. Also my four year old loves it he calls it the sad song and asks to listen to it a couple of times a week. He has no idea of the significance of it to his mother yet.
Stay strong man. And take care. 1love
It's strange to me that no one understood the deep meaning of this song and this video. As you know, our entire universe consists of small "bricks" called "atoms". Hydrogen and helium atoms are the most abundant in our universe. These two elements arose as a result of nucleosynthesis in the first minutes of the life of the universe in a concentration of 75% hydrogen 25% helium. It is from these elements and in such a proportion that the stars are composed. The stars are the beginning and foundation of our world. After the death of stars, all the chemical elements that were formed in it are in space in the form of a nebula from which new star systems are then born, that is, planets and stars. The death of such stars contributed to the birth of our star system and our planet. Oxygen in our atmosphere, calcium in our bones, iron in our blood and the rest of the atoms of our body and everything that surrounds us were born in the interior of stars as a result of nuclear fusion. There is simply no other way to get all these chemical elements. We are nothing but stardust.I want to say that in this video a very curious moment was shown, where they burn up in the atmosphere of the earth, and then life on earth arises from their atoms. After hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, they meet again in a different guise. Who knows, it might actually be possible.
@@Diaspar199 I love your comment!
Very haertbreaking to hear, but I hope you have been getting better with time.
Dude i had to fight back tears.
Feel foolish posting this but today is the first time I have heard this incredible song. Well after 12 plays in a row i am still pulling out meaning. What an amazing song.
Welcome to this completely underrated song from one of the best bands to grace us with music
Benjamin is a brilliant writer. You can pick out so much meaning every time you listen. Welcome to the world of BB.
Absolutely
I only found the band today. Still on repeat as I read the comments :)
@@rottsandspots You have a lot of albums to listen to.
Me to my angels every night: "Stay with me don't let me go"
I have suicidal thoughts and a very hard night every day. This song reminds me that I never give up fighting and never give up my hope...
Don't give up. Don't give in. Your not alone, I promise.
Please don't give up.You're stronger than you know💙
Hang in there honey. I've been in the VA hospital 20 of the last 30 days for depression.. You will get thru this
reach out for people and they ll help you are not alone
Your stronger than you give yourself credit for. believe in the power to live thru each day like you are and dont forget to lean on others for support when you feel your at your wits end. i have faith in you that you will see the light at the end of the tunnel in this life and not the next. i face suicidal shit myself and so i say this to you, because i had always needed someone to say it to me all those years ago. you can do it. you have the power to do anything you set your mind to.
I'm not crying, you're crying

This is the only song that can bring me to tears every time i listen to it…🥹😭
This song is going to hit me
As Ben said, "this is a modern sci fi take on Adam and Eve"
Simply phenomenal.
That's the same vibe I got
👍🏻
did anyone else really feel how deep it emotional it actually got like damn
After 4 years and the year 2020 who still gets goosebumps when they listen to this song and think of someone at that certain time in the past 4 years!!! This song will always be in my heart from 2020 and beyond, until the ahses of eden fall
XD
It makes me think of a potential girlfriend I met at the time.
Took the words from my mouth I seen them in concert 10 years ago for the first time never knowing who they were and I'm so glad I did this bands songs truly saved my life ;
ruclips.net/video/0lk4NlqJlKY/видео.html U gotta hear this track!
In honor of Adam Grimes my husband who went to heaven July 13th 2022. Suddenly & quickly he passed and my life turned upside down. He loved Breaking Benjamin and we would listen to this song all the time. Has a whole new meaning now. He was 40 years young, married 18 years and 2 beautiful children.
Bless Adam's soul, and prayers for you and his children. Love lives on forever, it never goes away ever.
😢 sorry to hear
I'm honestly so sorry, I know you posted this awhile back but 40 is way too young , I hope everything works out for you and the children..love this song , it's amazing
Breaking Benjamin's Phobia and Dear Agony albums got me through some hard times between 2007-2011. I discovered Dark Before Dawn 6 months ago and can't wait for Ember. Absolutely love this band. ❤️
Aubzlynn B Do you like Ember?
This song is absolutely phenomenal. It's one of those rare melodies that just never gets old no matter how many times you hear it. If anything you learn how well-designed this song really is the more you hear it. Vocally it's perfect, lyrically it's very deep, and all in all it's one of Breaking Benjamin's best. Very, very well made.
I agree 100%
Definitely.
Agreed
Breaking benjamin has an arsenal of songs that i could listen to on repeat without getting tired of them, Theyre just that good
Sebastian Guerrero I actually no joke do that every week. Breaking Benjamin is a legend and also my greatest addiction.
Ben you are such a talented singer and songwriter. Please live forever.
he will not read your comment sadly, no one of These singers/bands willl read any comments
Sadly not, this is their management uploading these videos, not the band members themselves.
yeah =/
TheGrantRomigExp I need him for the rest of my life.
DJ KO there’s the troll I was expecting to find
When the Chorus says: "Stay with me, don't let me go." I believe it is the perspective of Jesus Christ, talking to the believer in doubt in his faith. God will never leave nor forsake you. Therefore for this chorus to make sense, it's God speaking this part. May God bless you, everyone reading this.
I get the opposite, it’s the believer begging God to hold on to him. As a Christian i absolutely love this song. Very powerful.
😒
God bless you good sir! This helps me with my interpretation of this beautiful song ! :)
@@robertdewindt862 I get the same that you did. It's beautiful and speaks to my heart.

I mean... they are kind of included with the video.... Not sure why you posted this.
Airaku Because they felt like it. Just like you felt the need to post a smug reply. Just like I felt like replying to your smug comment. Mystery solved.
+Airaku I know they are, but some people like me prefer to be able to read the upcoming lyrics, instead of having to read them the moment they're sang. :)
NikkiSweet 111
Fair enough :)
What an angelic voice
he is an Angel.
Yeah man, he's pretty good.
His angelic voice brings so many rivers down my face :(.
I can usually sing along with songs and be pretty satisfied with how I sound compared but with him, it's very difficult. He has a very different way to the tone in his voice. It's very controlled which is very impressive.
Why cant feel youuu?
Who is still listening in 2020? This song is so damn underrated!
R3H4Z R3H4Z agreed... Then again, they have many lyrically and otherwise phenomenal songs!
31 million views says it's not underrated
The people who matter know exactly how much BB's song means to them.
I think so too. That's why I have decided to use this song as musical funding for my Project 4.
It absolutely is
We played this song at my mother's funeral today.. so grateful for you guys and the amazing music you constantly put out .
I hope you're doing well.
Best wishes man
This comment got me man.. of every comment this one did it..

Sorry for your loss, my dad passed away a few years ago exactly on the same day of the month he was born. Once a marine always a marine, take care my friend
oooooraahhh!!
I love the Adam and Eve vibe of this music video but the best part is the subtle Yin Yang imagery between the two of them at the end. The guy has no hair but has a black beard, the girl has a clean face and light colored hair, he's wearing a black leather jacket with a white shirt and she's wearing a white leather jacket with a black shirt. A clever metaphor conveying that although man and woman are different, they complement each other as does all the opposing forces that make up the universe. Day and night, hot and cold, light and dark, life and death, etc... a brilliant video for a brilliant song.
All that exists and have an opposite face is the same thing but only with different "frequency".
You are the reason English teachers make us do all that extra work
Who? v:
It gave me a Star Trek vibe.
Wow cannot be more perfectly interpreted. Well said chap. Finally a profound deep thinker of music videos. Awesome mate. 🖖🤟👍
This video...gets me every time. It never gets old. The sacrifices we make for or Twin Souls. No cost is too great, or too high to retrieve our other half. I love the silver cord symbolism. Says it all!
This song is so touching - every time i hear I think of God and how I have sinned and still God loves me and all of us never forget … never let go never let go never let go
Awesome song, the lyrics are sheer poetry and the music is so beautiful...... This song is touching me deeply. ❤❤❤❤
havent listened to them before,,, damn this song tops my 5 most beautiful songs
As a grown man This song makes me cry like a baby, brings up all the emotions I've tried to store away for so long!
DirkjeA it is amazing... loved this band from the get go... your dutch ?you have a dutch name lol
DirkjeA has
I don't want a band touching on me deeply. Maybe a little flick of the tongue to my taint.
This song gave me the ability to feel my own heart again.
Your name :)
He is looking and i think he found who is looking for
😂🤣😂
Same. Same. Every single song of BB means so much to me.
First time I heard this song... I love it
What I truly love about the music of Breaking Benjamin, is that the meaning of each song is left to the listener to decipher for him/herself. So many angles to relate to this song in particular, but a universal expression of love, pain, & redemption all mixed into one track. Aside from the powerful tenor vocals of Ben & the talented musicians alongside him, they find an intrinsic way of connecting to their fans & listeners... it's an emotional, psychological adventure of life's journey, at various stages, that yields it power in indescribable ways... it simply touches your soul & connects you to the world around us. "Ashes of Eden" will endure the test of time... may it bring you all the peace, joy, & forgiveness we all deserve. God bless!
This song makes me think about my dad. He passed away on November 8, 2017 from a battle with a very rare and aggressive cancer know as large cell neuroendocrine. I’m 22 now and I was 20 when he died. I love you and miss you so much dad
Deep meaning. Beautiful beat. Astonishing lyrics. Love this band❤️
Gets me emotional to think of my grandfather i lost last summer. He was there with me my entire life.
Lost my grandad Alfred George Pryce in 2003,he taught me about empathy,kindness,self worth & respect,17 years ago & I still miss him every day 🙁😢
I’ve lived with depression all my life. Two times I tired to end everything. To release the pain and darkness. But music has always been my safe place. Music has always helped push me forward. When life gets so hard that you wish a bullet ends it doesn’t mean you a lost case. It means reach out and ask for help. We aren’t here by ourselves. We are here with the people who love us. Loves not defined by blood it defined by the person who is willing to wrap their arms around you and not let go. To anyone suffering from depression know you are loved and know you are worth it.
❤️🩹❤️🩹🖤
Same. Tried 44 years ago. Failed. 1 year ago drank 2 fifths in about an hour and half. Still woke up. I began to immerse myself into music and it is keeping me going. Four of my six kids chose to follow difficult lives because one tried LSD. My wife of 28 years stopped loving me 9 years ago. Now I am climbing out of the pit one note at a time. I write music and songs. I play and sing at church and at open mic nights. I am actively seeking to get my songs out there. Music and God are leading me back to life
This makes me cry almost every time but I’m OBSESSED with this song 😭😭😭😩
Anyone else start choking up when they hear this song ?
Xd
Reminds me of people who have died in my life.. :(
Sher Muhammad not anymore, I've accepted the pain and lost all other feelings.
No this is sad
Sher Muhammad Every time I listen to it.
My heart is broken even without a reason 😢 I just can’t contain my tears any longer. His voice reached way too deep into my soul 😢😢
I don't think a single band will ever come close to the level that BB is at. They're genuinely phenomenal and will always be one of my favorites.
Linkin Park
oh and Imagine Dragons lmao
cold
I saw them live with Shinedown. I'm pretty sure I cried through the whole concert. There are very few bands that hit me as hard as those two.
Linkin Park does, these two are the best
cold is good too@@memelords919
Breaking Benjamin has always done a great job writing songs that make me feel emotional.
That's a Masterpiece to be honnest
Can't go wrong with this band... Never gonna get old!!!!
Every verse of this song hits you to the core, gives you chills and can even make you emotional. Depression is a disease that we all live with, some people can find salvation through Christ or loved ones... Then some people don't get so lucky, if you know of anyone that is struggling do not ignore them. You may be the only thing stopping them from ending their life or doing something they will regret. We all have our demons we battle on a daily basis, you don't know what they are going through. Don't be so quick to judge, everyone's life is sacred because we only get 1 chance at life...no redos.
I'm 28 years old, I have battled depression all my life. I still do, I'm a quiet person by nature so it hits me harder because I don't talk much. What keeps me fighting is my loving wife and kids, she supports me and trusts me. The love of a woman is a incredible feeling, to have someone by your side through life.
Depression is a crippling disease, help anyone in need. You could be there last salvation.......
theres just something about space and music like this. makes you wonder whats really up there
lunabird89 agreed! I love space and its mysteries and this music almost exemplifies that in a way. Love this band! And your comment!
This songs about God!
Paul Lie to each their own opinion.
Outer space doesn't exist, what's really up there is the firmament and the waters above

R.I.P. My Beautiful Loving Brother. I Miss You So Much..
I used to play this song to my daughter. She was in my womb at the time. She is three now. I played it and she came running in where I was and danced around to it. It was beautiful.
that's beautiful
my son will be 2 in february, when he was in my stomach i always played “Dancing with the devil” he would kick like crazy. now that he’s here at any point in time he’s screaming you play this and he’s clam, he also head bangs to it
❤️
Thats awesome.
That's heartwarming
My sister committed suicide almost 2 years ago this album had just came out and this song and angels fall kept me going through a dark time
Sean Tobin I’m sorry to hear that. My condolences to u my friend. *give u a virtual hug*
I hope God watches over you and take care of your sister
Sorry for your loss .
Hang in there. Life gets better.
Dear God by AvengeSevenFold I recommend u to watch it

finally 1 Million Views I love this band so much
Come for More!! :D
Sammeeee
love Ben singing voice, I want him in funeral
I have been listening for this band for so many years and when I first heard their new songs it gave me the shivers. This band is amazing!!
I love them as well!
Brothers been dead for 9 years now. Still cry everytime I pick up a video game controller and hes not co-oping with me
I'm so sorry you lost your brother. Sending you light and love🌌💕 This song definitely hits the heart for alot of people... I know tears immediately roll down my cheeks when I hear it. Just let them flow~
That's fucking rough bro. Hope you can find peace.
I'm so sorry brother, video games brothers and breaking benjamin, is how I grow up... my heart is heavy for you... god damn I am so sorry
Holy shit, I just got flash backs to when me and my brother were younger and played on our mom's SNES. We would play Super Mario Bros and he'd always be my Luigi. It was so much fun. Then, the next thought I had, was us a few years ago playing cod zombies split screen, and we'd always blame each other for how bad we were. Then lastly, I had the thought of, what if I lost him? I'd have nobody to sit there and play videogames with after he's gone. Sure I could play with my sister, but it just wouldn't be the same.
He may not be here to play co op but he is playing his own solo game until it is Time for his partner to return and play again
My Grandson was named Benjamin after this band. Our dysfunctional family won't allow me to see him for whatever reason. I'm so so sad over it as he's my one and only Grandchild. Since the minute Ben was born, this is the only song that would calm him during distress. So now I listen to it over and over because thats all I have left. If you ever get to read this sometime, Bennie, I LOVE YOU!! ALWAYS in my heart!!❤😪
I hope he reaches out to you. I'm so sorry. I have a dysfunctional family, too, and I know how hard it is. I hope wherever Benjamin is, he knows you love him, and he loves you too❤
This song is quite amazing. Deeply spiritual, brutality honest, awe inspiring, sifi theme with romance and true sacrificial love. Brilliant. Beautiful. We need more like this. And I want this movie!
As always one of my favorite bands. Amazing vocals and video.
then again have they ever been one to disappoint?
Anyone else have to listen to this like 10 times cause one is not enough.
??????????????
I could listen to this on loop for a week, and it would STILL not be enough...
ruclips.net/video/0lk4NlqJlKY/видео.html U gotta hear this track!
I've listened to this 50+ times
Every now & then I listen to this song, it helps me remember those that are no longer among the living I hope & prey that they are watching over me until it's my time to join them.
It's 06/07/2024.. and nothing Is getting better on this planet. After all, we're only Human.. this song Is my/our peace.🖤
07/09/2024 I am just holding on until the end.
08/13/2024 - yet it goes on and on...and so it shall until the end of time...though far beyond you or me...
🐣🐤🐥🐔🐣...
The only band that still sounds exactly the same way they started!! Can't express how much I love these guys. Love from India.
I agree. Everytime a new song comes out, its like reuniting with an old friend. Things have changed, but things are still the same too.
The killers
i didnt like them very much in my twenties, but i recently rediscovered them in my mid 40s and i have so say, i freaking love them. maybe it was the name? young and stupid i guess. thease guys make MUSIC and im sad i didnt appreciate it earlier in life, but i guess thats how we grow. god bless, gods bless, goddesses bless and allah bless
Lyrically and musically, this hands down is so beautiful! Very emotional and powerful all in one.
This song is dedicated to my wife. Got hurt in the line of duty. Lost my career. Lost my abilty to walk or stand without help. And its destroyed me. Pain is 2 7 for past 5 years now. My wife has gone through hell with me. And yet she still is there for me. Standing when i cant stand. She wont let go. No matter what. Im blessed. And this song just reminds me of our love. Thank you Ben for this masterpiece!
Wish i could love this!!
Just can never describe the feelings this song gives me. Feeling so lost and confused in my life right now, and this song brings me both despair and hope at the same time. Knowing that I need to push forward and hoping that something will stay with me to keep moving me forward when I just want to stop.
When my father died this year after day of February 14 he never left my mom since high school this was the first song I herd after he passed away. Thank You I love your music.
Clinton Spivey Sorry for your loss, pal. This song can touch anyone that has grieving to do. It never ends, but it does get easier with time.
As a Breaking Benjamin Fan, I’ve always had a huge connection with their music and meaningful lyrics that bring out all of our emotions and personal experiences that we all go through as humanity during these unprecedented times. Thank you Ben for all the awesome music , you are a legend 🤟🏻
ruclips.net/video/0lk4NlqJlKY/видео.html U gotta hear this track!!
This is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard
This song is incredibly beautiful , sometimes we dont see the ones that dont let go until we need them.
I'm one of those that never let's go anyone who has ever known me if I see they need me I am there no matter the situation
I keep coming back to this and listening over and over. I love this song.
Tammy R same here
My wife was recently killed in a car accident and she absolutely loved this band an had seem them in concert a dozen times so I listen to this song every day on my way home RIP!!! Toni
I'm sorry to hear about ur wife, she has great taste in music. This is a song I have to listen to everyday myself. Stay strong 💜⚡💡🖤🖤🤘🤘
My condolences Tony. Stay strong.
You WILL be with her again....
Stay strong bud 🙌🏻

I was there for Breaking Benjamin’ big debut and still a huge fan in 2018, I swear to god every song gives me chills
There is something so soulfully mournful in Ben's voice. It pleads to the depths of one's very being. Just beautuful.
Ben's got a gift. This song has touched a lot of souls
This is the first Breaking Benjamin song since So Cold that I've sit and listened for hours on repeat. Hitting home like a mother fucker, too. Thanks, Ben.
This song talks about Ben doubting and questioning his faith. He then turns to God in hope that he will forgive him and stay with him... until the Ashes of Eden fall...
Well said, BOTH of you!! This song is soooo underappreciated!
I asked him about what this song means, he said “whatever you think it means” ☺️ I told him I thought it was about faith, losing hope and trying to find the way back.he smiled ☺️ so whatever you personally think this song is about, that’s what he wants you to believe
That is awesome. I had my bf listen to this song the other day it is also his ringtone most recently. We have been having many issues these last few months. We have told each other everything and this song means so much to us. I believe it will be our wedding song as it has helped us and will continue to help us. Its our anthem.
Courtney Troch tell your boyfriend to RUclips “Coach Corey Wayne.”......no seriously.....tell him.
I miss my mom and her boyfriend being together when he told me that I was heartbroken and I was crying for 3days and now I sing this song to remind me that he still loves me and my mom and my sister and now they are friends right now I have been depressed a lot
Wow, I haven’t cried for anything in several years and this actually made me tear up. Laying next to my wife in bed trying not to wake her up because I’d be embarrassed. Song reminded me of my grandpa and how I wish I would never see the day that he passes away. We are so close but since we moved several years ago I don’t get to see him often. I miss him and cherish every moment I have with him.
Taylor Albaugh Nothing wrong with a man having emotions.
Taylor Albaugh yup
This song reminds me of everything I've been through and how I've fought so hard to conquer the darkness I've known so we'll. For those who have come and gone, the words help me to over come the bitterness just as they help me to be thankful for those who've stayed. I am so thankful for this band and can't wait to see them in October when they come to California this year!
This song reminds me of my son. He passed in 2016 of an OD and was only 21. This song came out shortly after he passed and it really hit home. I love these guys!!
I'm sorry for your lost, my prayers goes to you, your son, and your family. Amen
Sending you light and love. 🌌💕
ruclips.net/video/0lk4NlqJlKY/видео.html U gotta hear this track!!
I’m 52 I’ve lost so many loved ones, I know they are still here but they are where whatever is next! The universe has no beginning or end and time doesn’t exist, we are here just a brief vapor in time, there is a forever, what you think that is is up to you, but one thing for sure we are all headed there!
I have been trying to kill myself now for some years don't know if am coward but I hope this year I succeed
This is the greatest song of all time. Benjamin Burnley is the greatest songwriter of all time. This song came out over 3 years ago and I still listen to it nonstop. It's utter perfection in every aspect. ❤
This song is spiritual for me all the things I been though reminds me god is allways with me even when iam alone there is somone who will never leave me and will allways want to be with me Iam never alone that god for everything even the bad times that brought me closer to you
I swear your comment is the exact thing my wife told me and then few days later my pastor preached on it . Was in self destruct mode then now songs like this keep me focused on the good things .thanks for sharing . Since Chester s gone this now my band .
I feel the same way. It is groups like Breaking Benjamin who truly care for the lives and souls of others. We need more music artists like this. God has done amazing things through them and others such as Anberlin.
This got to be one of Benjamin best songs done. Whenever I listen and sing, tears will shed. It really got me. There are many different meaning to different people. For me it me thinking when I was so despaired and deserted, not worthy of anything in life. When people say they will be there for me, but where are they when I needed most? I have to pul myself together by myself alone to stay strong and move on. At the moment it's my top playlist and not without a day I do not listen to this song
Wow, this song is powerful, tears as my body trembles. Because of the truth within these lyrics. The music is power.
I have severe depression and anxiety and lost many friends because they couldn't "deal with it". Now I know who my true friends are who have stuck by my side when I was at rock bottom,
if you're buddies couldn't simply stick with you and tell you everything's gonna be alright then they weren't friends in the first place, you're real friends are gonna stick with you 100% and make sure you're alright. I obviously don't know who you are but i'll be that friend to tell you everything is alright, now matter how hard shit gets, just keep you're head up homie everything'll be good in the end if you just hold on.
i'm not sure that's the best way to say it. you're looking down on those people who took their lives because they're not here today? evidently you've never felt life taking depression. some people cant see a way out, and are so terrified to let people see their life they can't ask for help.
@@johnmack20 no he meant people leave when their bad thoughts come out anyone with depression will tell a lot of people leave when they said stuff like they loved you the day before if you cant be friends with someone in their darkest hours dont come running when they are at their best goes with relationships too
You'll really freak out when you realize the One who created you was with you all the time. He never left you while all you were going though your drama. Who do you think got you to this point that I commented to you? Physical people? No my friend, it was the living God within you all this time. Talk to Him, He'll get rid of those pesky problems you have. Be One with Him. You are His son.
Scientists have been looking for a theory where humans could describe the entire universe... but the answer was found by a band and transcripted into a beautiful song...
It's like an awakening
ruclips.net/video/0lk4NlqJlKY/видео.html U gotta hear this track!
And that song was called...
Wap
I don't think the world was seeded by an accident in orbit around earth though. I think it was intentional.
@@nazo831 Another starset fan! I am a huge fan of starset myself :D
This song just has so much depth and feeling... I truly feel it through my mind body and soul and that is such a rare feeling to get from music alone.. i will forever love and appreciate this song and the i pact it has on me in such a way i can't properly put into words or even verbalize. One of the very least to exist it honestly feels heavenly and sad but in a rewarding type kf way , i do t know if that makes any sense but i will listen to this song for the remainder of my life. Thanks Breaking Benjamen
Man that guy has a fantastic voice! I think the band has been underrated their entire existence. I have a ton of respect that they have been around so long and have stayed true to their roots in music.
I hope they come back
@@aaronnelson3359 they’re still around. I’m going to see them live next weekend
i really miss her. She´s still my most beautiful memory
Chi Chi is still alive, Goku.

wow i just LMAO with u guys thanks hahahaha
To me, this video explains why we have soulmates. And I love that.
You seem to be the only other person who actually gets it.
It's about having someone with whom you would rather die while holding in your arms than to live on without, and being able to see them again in the end.
I AGREE. Ben said that this video is like modern sci-fi Adam and Eve. So maybe yeah?
+E U P H O R I A that makes perfect sense! Tbh I felt the lyrics were telling a different story at first, but now that I think about the video I think it actually really works. The title references the biblical garden of Eden, and the story of Adam and Eve like you said. In the beginning there is a technological eden, a paradise. When one person literally fell out, like Eve did in Genesis, another person chose to follow them rather than having to live without them. Does this make Ben like God and the band like angels? After the two people died, there was no more Eden (hence, the "ashes") but they were still able to be with each other in a lesser sphere of existence.
+Joseph Modirzadeh ikr. that's what I thought.
I don't know why people can't see the validity of this song. Even after living 43 years in a shaddow of untruths, I can feel hope. I don't need a label to prove to me that God sees us, and mercy is shown through grace. What we see fails, what we are tethered to in the end, saves you. This song is a tribute to the loving Troubadour's who choose to value the unseen. I am one.
If I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life, it’d be this song.
- Lie down
- Try not to cry
- Cry a lot
Lay down what? A book?
