Drove my car on the highway after having one of the worst mornings of my life, having this song on crazy high volume and screaming hopeless to the point where my lungs almost popped, one of the best moments of my life
I love how he ends with the resounding "I will not let go!" He feels like he cannot hold on. He feels hopeless. Yet, he refuses to give up. He refuses to let go.
It can go two ways, here's the negative one: I can not hold on - I can't. I just can't hold on, it won't work. I'm also entirely incapable of letting go even if I want to. Unstoppable force, immovable object.
most artists use these types of songs as an outlet because they are told they aren't allowed to speak of what happened to them.some are even crys for help but people never get it.
Since I discovered BB, they have been my savior in my darkest times, my strength in my darkest hour and my shoulder to lean on in my weakest moments! I will never stop listening to this band and they have helped me through so much that I cannot even start to explain how much they mean to me. And for anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about then listen to their songs and you'll understand for yourself just how powerful their music actually is! Long live BB!!!! Thank you guys for everything. From the UK!! Xx
Well it is about guilt, for not ditching alcohol, he wrote this entire album after his struggles with alcohol, depression, and getting critically ill after his addiction.
Almost every Breaking Benjamin song makes me think exclusively about when the mother of my child left me for another man, my feelings towards the situation, and the events that took place afterwards.
Breaking Benjamin is awesome having a harmonious voice and meaningful lyrics describing in a Gothic style where it took me sometime to look in Google what they mean. THis band is gothically, rockingly, freedomly, and breakingly awesome! *snaps ben in half*
Listened to this in highschool when it released, listened to it years later during my worst/addiction phase, and i'm listening to it now nearly a decade after launch at the best point in my life. Breaking Benjamin really has helped me through so much
i cant believe it..breaking benjamin got me through so much i owe them everything..iv not listened to em in a while, an my lifes changed loads, an suddelny they have almost no effect..its enough to make me wanna cry..
"I can her the devil call my name" "I cannot hold on" Made me cry after I almost hanged myself in march4 2018. Because I heard it. And it filled me with joy knowing I was about to finally feel free of all the pain When in the last second a police man graved me. I spent two weeks butt naked in a suicide watch. And started crying thinking of the damage I almost caused to my family. I couldn't believe the kind of trauma I almost left in my 3 and 5 year old siblings. I'm 22 now. Its almost been a year since that day. I lost everything. But I'm now happy to see the love of my family for the first time. After years of pure pain. I cried and felt my soul got lighter. I'm still trying to forget of those people who hurt me and cry myself out of those emotions its the only way to feel free. ¡Have a nice and blessed day!
i listen to this when im mad or when i'm playing tokyo xtreme racer zero for PS2 because i love pushing my opponent against the wall to slow them down and to double the penalty to their meter which when the bar is gone i win. although the same goes for me if they push me into the wall
Very few bands use this much emotion when performing their songs. This is why i love this band. they use real emotions and experiences when they play their songs. i respect their talent and ability to let everyone know how they fell within through their lyrics.

This song explicitly states how my life is. Hopeless, "I cannot hold on, I will not let go." I attempted suicide over five years ago through pills and ended up living without any permanent damage. Spent eight days (two on suicide watch) in a mental ward. The experience was terrible, and yet my mindset has never changed. No matter how sad, angry, or happy I am, I just hate living. Yet I can't bring myself to try again after failing before. So those lyrics I posted ring so true to how I'm living right now. Everyday I battle and struggle with myself.
My favorite song from my favorite band. Since not alone I’ve been in love with these guys but this song was what turned me to the heavier side of music, but these guys stayed at the top👌🏼
I wish Ben would do an album with more screaming and growling involved, I’ve always loved how absolutely fucking gnarly his voice is, and to get even just a single song that’s like that would be incredible.
I was listening to this song today in class and everybody looked at me weird. I was like what and they were like we hear what your listening to. I started to die 😂
Kayla Kays I love skillet my fave song by them never surrender and one of there other song that I can't remember the name of its the one where she wants to leave but he won't let her ( in a good way)
I listen to Skillet. I enjoy their instrumental but their lyrical content is next to bad imo. Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace will always top them in that cathegory
Skillet and Breaking Benjamin have been my 2 favorite groups since 2003. My brother got me into Breaking Benjamin when we played Day of Reckoning and heard Polyamorous. My late sister got me into Skillet when she gave me her Collide album and I heard Forsaken.
I've Had Enough of all this shitty music we have to deal with everyday. Without You, Breaking Benjamin, the music industry is truly Hopeless. Otherwise, music will just completely Fade Away Into The Nothing. It'll be Lights Out for music. What a world So Cold that we live in.
This song fits with me. I have clinical depression but don't take medication. It is rough but I refuse to give in. The line "I cannot hold on, I will not let go" makes me think of how I struggle to keep going but will not give in.
I really like this song and pretty much all of them by Breaking Benjamin haha they are just so good. Although I see a lot of comments about how depressing the song is and honestly I see It as more of a fight song than a sad song.
It sounds like Ben was struggling emotionaly and physically in this album, like he was suicidal, well my friend your not alone anymore bro, one man's agony saved the life's of many, especially mine
"I can hear the devil call my name" -me when I'm in the store and see a monster energy drink "It's over now.. there's no way out." -me when I'm trapped underneath the seven dogs and two cats... At the same time "I will not let go!" -me when the kitten is denying my affection and won't let me love her.
(Homeless!) I'm sitting down. (Filthy!) No cent in cup. I have no condom. I will not get hoes. (Worthless!) I'm hungry now. (Kitties!!) They come and meow. I am fat, old bum. Kicked out by my mom.

I have a shark now.
Lol
This is the song that turned me into a really good fighter so your not wrong
Rotflol
How this song makes things better..wtf..is just for when you are depressed.
@DEVANSH so original
"There is nothing left inside, but I am wide awake."
One of the best lyrics in any song.
It's gotta be I can hear the devil call my naaaaame
This whole album is deep af
Drove my car on the highway after having one of the worst mornings of my life, having this song on crazy high volume and screaming hopeless to the point where my lungs almost popped, one of the best moments of my life
Hopelessly a fan of Breaking Benjamin since 4th grade.
Esteban Hernandez sameee jfc
6th for me
3rd. I was watching an avatar amv and it had the first song I ever heard by them. A fan since
Fan since 5th grade, now 8th grade.
Lol same first English songs that I heard are only Rock
Breaking Benjamin is BEAST. They're songs tap the soul and release all your inner feelings...simply amazing
U hit the fucking nail on the head!! I love this band with all my being
Yup
Indeed. If they can't shake your soul, you are already a dead man. 😢
This band is awesome. I haven't Had Enough of their songs. Not listening to them is Hopeless.
Gotts listen to them Until The End
+Caleb Fury not listening to them leaves me So Cold
+Jacob Hodgen Sometimes not listening to them makes me have a breakdown until Lights out causes me to hear Anthems of the Angels
And then i want my friends to Follow me and be with this band Until the End
+UveBeenKilled Some of their songs take my Breath away
Ive heard ONLY FOUR songs by them and i have fallen in love with them! The guitar is so on point and the lyrics are too relatable
I love how he ends with the resounding "I will not let go!" He feels like he cannot hold on. He feels hopeless. Yet, he refuses to give up. He refuses to let go.
Struggles with alcohol
It can go two ways, here's the negative one:
I can not hold on - I can't. I just can't hold on, it won't work.
I'm also entirely incapable of letting go even if I want to.
Unstoppable force, immovable object.
most artists use these types of songs as an outlet because they are told they aren't allowed to speak of what happened to them.some are even crys for help but people never get it.
Chester Bennington is the perfect example. Linkin Park’s music were literally cries by him but we didn’t listen & now he’s gone 😭
One of Breaking Benjamin's best songs!
Since I discovered BB, they have been my savior in my darkest times, my strength in my darkest hour and my shoulder to lean on in my weakest moments! I will never stop listening to this band and they have helped me through so much that I cannot even start to explain how much they mean to me. And for anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about then listen to their songs and you'll understand for yourself just how powerful their music actually is! Long live BB!!!! Thank you guys for everything. From the UK!! Xx
You know it's a good song when it can bring goose bumps to your skin.
This is a band that will never fail to give me goosebumps every time I listen to there music! >.
You aint lying.. even on repeat.. goosebumps every time
This Song Gives Me Control And Power.
*POWER?*
@@deadbeatparent4229 UNLIMITED POWERRRR
BOOM!
"I cannot hold on/I will not let go!" - me carrying heavy bags from the supermarket.
lol
lol yeah pretty much :P
Made me laugh so hard: no matter how many bags there are, I always carry all of them, even if I have to walk to the kitchen on my knees.
+twistech - Lol!
LoL
Truthfully I think this is about a mans guilt, and how its slowly tearing him apart.
Its about spirit too:
"i cannot hold on, i will not let go!"
Or relationship with a divided family
this song reminds me of all of my overdoses
Well it is about guilt, for not ditching alcohol, he wrote this entire album after his struggles with alcohol, depression, and getting critically ill after his addiction.
So that's why i fell in love with this song in particular.. It.. Speaks to me unlike any other..
Almost every Breaking Benjamin song makes me think exclusively about when the mother of my child left me for another man, my feelings towards the situation, and the events that took place afterwards.
Same for me bro
I listened to this once and already fell in love with it!
Same
Breaking Benjamin is awesome having a harmonious voice and meaningful lyrics describing in a Gothic style where it took me sometime to look in Google what they mean. THis band is gothically, rockingly, freedomly, and breakingly awesome! *snaps ben in half*
Lol
This part hits deep if you've been in addiction...
-Silent I go under,
I am not afraid.
I can see the daylight shine
And slowly drift away
See i thought i was weird thinking that i made a connection with this line, it hit deep brother.. Still fighting myself, we got this ❤
been a fan since thier beggining, still a super fan many years later. Will always be my one and favorite music addiction
It says enjoy, but they are forgetting one thing:
This is Breaking Benjamin, not enjoying it isn't really possible.
+Derrick Wiedemann true, my favourite band
+Derrick Wiedemann My girlfriend didnt enjoy this song.....shes no longer with us.
+Tophef Tyr sorry for you man...i cant even imagine how you must feel....:(
Nah....shes dead.
yes
Wow this song feels intense. It's amazing how you blended the lyrics so well it drives the song home.
my mood right now
My mood every day.
5 years ago yall were edgy. How’s life now?
Breaking Benjamin is coming back i'm soooo freaking excited!!!
Listened to this in highschool when it released, listened to it years later during my worst/addiction phase, and i'm listening to it now nearly a decade after launch at the best point in my life. Breaking Benjamin really has helped me through so much
The beginning of the song has the most slickest guitar riff ever !
Truly to die for ...the lyrics are just right for my mood
This is something i will listen to when i am down
All Of Breaking Benjamin's Songs Motivate Me But This One Makes Me Go To My Limits. God Bless You Breaking Benjamin
i cant believe it..breaking benjamin got me through so much i owe them everything..iv not listened to em in a while, an my lifes changed loads, an suddelny they have almost no effect..its enough to make me wanna cry..
The song speaks to me... It's not like I stay depressed all the time.. but it triggers something everytime I listen to it.
"I can her the devil call my name"
"I cannot hold on"
Made me cry after I almost hanged myself in march4 2018. Because I heard it. And it filled me with joy knowing I was about to finally feel free of all the pain
When in the last second a police man graved me. I spent two weeks butt naked in a suicide watch. And started crying thinking of the damage I almost caused to my family.

I'm still trying to forget of those people who hurt me and cry myself out of those emotions its the only way to feel free.
¡Have a nice and blessed day!
i adore this song truly powerful
I always listen to songs like this when im pissed off
Danny Burnside I always listen to music like this when Im mad. and I am mad pretty much every day, every minute lol
fucking same
i listen to this when im mad or when i'm playing tokyo xtreme racer zero for PS2 because i love pushing my opponent against the wall to slow them down and to double the penalty to their meter which when the bar is gone i win. although the same goes for me if they push me into the wall
Rachel Plays and in general
I'm always pissed off :(
Very few bands use this much emotion when performing their songs. This is why i love this band. they use real emotions and experiences when they play their songs. i respect their talent and ability to let everyone know how they fell within through their lyrics.
This is my first time listening to this song and it's awesome.
Just downloaded yesterday and I love it already
I love the beginning part .So intense.Listening to this while my family is cleaning the house lol.

This song describes a part of me.

Kinda sad.
Yes, yes it is. T-T

I can think of the perfect music video for this with someone being buried alive in a coffin
Why the Hell does that seem like it would fit so perfectly...?
Christian Shaw "theres no way out". "i cant wake up"

The way he screams "hopeless!filthy!worthless!guilty!" makes me shiver.
I love this song and Breaking Benjamin too :)
Looooveee this song! Such deep! Much emotion!
"I can hear the devil call my name" -me when I'm in the store and see a monster energy drink
"It's over now.. there's no way out." -me when I'm trapped underneath the seven dogs and two cats... At the same time
"I will not let go!" -me when the kitten is denying my affection and won't let me love her.
it is s much like my life.
I like how we are in a rock song and the subject everybody is talking about is about history. lol
...
My life is harder and this music mix with my life....
I'm never going to give up...
Wish everyone to have a good life!
