"I brought you to life, so I can hear you scream..." This is one of my favorite lines in any song, ever. Its haunting the way Ben sings it, and the music fading behind it is just so cool.
EJ Taylor Because they released stuff without the front man’s permission? I’d be mad too. Also, they ruined Blow Me Away with Valora over it. I would’ve fired them as well, besides Chad, since he had nothing to do with it, and his drumming is otherworldly.
EJ Taylor I don’t have anything against Valora. It was just a horrific remix. Of course there won’t be another Chad, Aaron, or Mark, but that’s not the point. Aaron and Mark went behind Ben’s back. Yeah, Ben has a temper, but you just don’t do that. You guys are in this together. Why just release something without permission, regardless if it’s good or bad? And chad didn’t leave because Ben is a narcissistic POS. He just left because of creative differences in the midst of the legal issues. He wishes the band luck and he’s happy they’re still going. I’m not here to defend Ben in everything he does-he is not God. But he definitely had a right to fire Aaron and Mark over it. And dark Before Dawn is not a bad album. Rehashed? Sure. It was six years since Dear Agony, and the fans wanted to hear B.B. again. He wasn’t gonna pull a Linkin Park on his fans (not against LP). And have you listened to Ember? They’re doing great without the old members. Amazingly talented individuals with Ben now, just like always. And it’s irrelevant if it brings in more fans. It’s common courtesy if you release songs, that the man who made the songs knows about it. “I’d have done the reasonable, nice thing and keep them.” After they went behind his back? Lol you expect people to get walked on, don’t you? There are millions of amazing guitarists and bassists our there. Two that release unfinished material and release a horrific remix of a Halo song are not needed. Regardless, it seems BB is doing just fine without Fink and Klepaski. To say the band was “better” then is just being biased. If you played DBD and Dear Agony in a shuffle and had non-BB fans listen, they’d think it was from the same album.
EJ Taylor I understand where you’re coming from :) I think both sides made mistakes along the way, but I can’t say I hate Ben for what he did. It’s his band after all. Especially the songs he made like Better Days and Lie to Me. I don’t know if Mark and Aaron had to do with those or not, but I think we can both agree they should have consulted Ben first. Btw, I’m not being a smart ass. If it sounded like that I apologize. But I’m just saying, members for the most part are replaceable unless they define the band 100% (like a frontman).
LIVEEEEEEEE, FIGHTTTTTTTTTTTT, CRAWL BACK INSIDE SIIIIIICK, BLIIIIIND, LOVE LEFT BEHIND and I won't live ur weak wicked lie, u pulled me in im one step behind
I'm confused as to how anyone can even dislike this band...they are just too awesome...maybe that is why, people aren't ready to fully embrace the awesomeness of breaking benjamin???
To me, as someone who suffers from BPD/ Bipolar Depression, I have always interpreted this song as a battle between conflicting thoughts and personalities, as opposed to it being about another person.
Saw Breaking Benjamin in around 04 or 05 I believe. Still had the original band lineup and they blew the roof off that tiny little venue. Opened up for Shinedown when 45 came out and they were starting to blow up.
sometimes I wonder where you people have been cuz every BB album has a song that is not boring and Breath is still such a new song. You need to listen to their first and second album. Been a fan since 2002
I like to think of this song as a sort of fight or duel between the positive and negative aspects or emotions of life for dominance, but that's just my take on it. I like to imagine the lyrics as being spoken by either of the two as follows: *Positive:* A shadow of a man I am nothing less I am holding on Still holding on And every now and then Life begins again I am holding on Still holding on *Positive, to negative:* I'm not like you Your faceless lies Your weak, dead heart Your black dead eyes I'll make it through But not this time Your hope is gone And so is mine *Positive:* Live! Fight! Crawl back inside! *Negative:* Sick! Blind! Love left behind *Both:* And I won't live your weak wicked lie You pull me in I'm one step behind *Negative:* Show me where it hurts And I will make it worse Are you holding on? Keep holding on Dilated eyes Shine for one last time Are you holding on? Keep holding on *Negative, to positive:* You're not like me Your faceless lies Your weak, dead heart Your black dead eyes I'll break you in And let this die Your hope is gone And so is mine *Positive:* Live! Fight! Crawl back inside! *Negative:* Sick! Blind! Love left behind *Both:* And I won't live your weak wicked lie You pulled me in I'm one step behind *Positive, to negative:* I'm becoming a monster Just like you After it all You'll try to break me too *Negative, to positive:* Falling forever Chasing dreams I brought you to life So I can hear you scream *Positive:* Live! Fight! Crawl back inside! *Negative:* Sick! Blind! Love left behind *Both:* And I won't live your weak wicked lie You pulled me in I'm one step behind I'm one step behind I'm one step behind
Seen them Live recently Ben Burnely has a whole new band. I like the old crew but I will admit before Ben Burnely went on tour again he definetly worked more on his vocals. Their shows are more entertaing with the new band and Ben being the only orignal member still made a great different impact in live shows but Breaking Benjamins live performances since the begginging of 2015 are actually now being known as his best live performances throughout his whole career being a musician. Go to a breaking Benjamin concert you'll see how great they are too. They sound exactly as good as the albums and Ben never missed a single vocal tone. Had alot of fun at my last recent concert seeing BB. that was 2/11/15
Lol - I was trying to get to sleep one night listening to Breaking Benjamin, and I had my Ipod in and they where singing their quite songs, like Rain and Without You, then all of a sudden Crawl comes on and im wide awake again...I love you Breaking Benjamin!
My top 5: Breaking Benjamin Breaking Benjamin Breaking Benjamin Also, breaking Benjamin (surprise) Last but sure as hell not least, breaking Benjamin! :o
Dear BB. When you come to cincinnati please play at bigger venues. I have missed you guys like 4 times over the last 6 or 7 years. Stop playing at Bogarts... the venue is way too small for a band as big as you guys. Tickets always are gone by the time I find out. Sincerely love you guys.
This is the best quality one I could find on TH-cam. Listening to this with Turtle Beaches X12 is amazing. Breaking Benjamin is my new favorite band that still makes good music. Linkin Park is my all-time favorite though. That said, Minutes to Midnight was 50% good, as half of the songs sounded nothing like them. A Thousand Suns was just 100% failure
totally agree chris bb just get better. Ben is such a good song writer I think hes been hurt bad at some point cause how else could he put so much emotion in the vocals
@TheGreatVelen this is my favorite song, by my favorite band, whos lead singer is the man i think has the most amazing voice, with the most talented guitarist, bassist, and drummer, and i am a 13 year old girl. nice to meet you.
Im becoming a monsterrr just like youuu!! After it allll you'll try to break me tooo!!! Falling foreverrr chasing drreeams!!! I brought you to life so I can hear you screeeam 🖤💙
"I brought you to life, so I can hear you scream..." This is one of my favorite lines in any song, ever. Its haunting the way Ben sings it, and the music fading behind it is just so cool.
2020 and this still as awesome when it came out
@Marjon.P just unload your depression on me why don't ya
I agree
@Marjon.P *strong Franch accent*
Horhorhor Wewe
Its BB as good as ever
these are the facts
I get goosebumps whenever I hear Breaking Benjamin's music. There isn't a single song from them that I don't like! They're hands down amazing!
Same here only band that gives me goosebumps
Kinda odd isn't. But I'm not complaining.
Same. The goose pimples are a peculiar thing. Most of BB songs induce them.
Same here bro! Not even a single one
💢💢💢
Breaking Benjamin is a rare type of band, their albums get progressively better.
a beautiful rendition of crippling duel between soul and ego
+lincaster (^That comment right there^) A beautiful way to think of this song :D
EJ Taylor
Because they released stuff without the front man’s permission? I’d be mad too. Also, they ruined Blow Me Away with Valora over it.
I would’ve fired them as well, besides Chad, since he had nothing to do with it, and his drumming is otherworldly.
EJ Taylor
I don’t have anything against Valora. It was just a horrific remix.
Of course there won’t be another Chad, Aaron, or Mark, but that’s not the point. Aaron and Mark went behind Ben’s back.
Yeah, Ben has a temper, but you just don’t do that. You guys are in this together. Why just release something without permission, regardless if it’s good or bad?
And chad didn’t leave because Ben is a narcissistic POS. He just left because of creative differences in the midst of the legal issues.
He wishes the band luck and he’s happy they’re still going.
I’m not here to defend Ben in everything he does-he is not God.
But he definitely had a right to fire Aaron and Mark over it.
And dark Before Dawn is not a bad album.
Rehashed? Sure. It was six years since Dear Agony, and the fans wanted to hear B.B. again.
He wasn’t gonna pull a Linkin Park on his fans (not against LP).
And have you listened to Ember? They’re doing great without the old members. Amazingly talented individuals with Ben now, just like always.
And it’s irrelevant if it brings in more fans. It’s common courtesy if you release songs, that the man who made the songs knows about it.
“I’d have done the reasonable, nice thing and keep them.”
After they went behind his back?
Lol you expect people to get walked on, don’t you?
There are millions of amazing guitarists and bassists our there. Two that release unfinished material and release a horrific remix of a Halo song are not needed.
Regardless, it seems BB is doing just fine without Fink and Klepaski.
To say the band was “better” then is just being biased.
If you played DBD and Dear Agony in a shuffle and had non-BB fans listen, they’d think it was from the same album.

Lol, at first I read this as duel between soul and lego.
Breaking Benjamin: "Your hope is gone..."
Shang Tsung: "... and your soul is mine"
i love that Mortal Kombat reference!!!
TylerOfEarthrealm hyhgffdddjuyjngvbb. Jgcvvgsmjvvvd
It's more like a Gul'dan answer ^^
he says "and so is mine" not soul
LIVEEEEEEEE, FIGHTTTTTTTTTTTT, CRAWL BACK INSIDE
SIIIIIICK, BLIIIIIND, LOVE LEFT BEHIND and I won't live ur weak wicked lie, u pulled me in
im one step behind
what a legendary band
absolutely my favorite band of all time
my favortie too
Best band ever imo
Nostalgia. Literally.
2021 - I'm still here, and I still think that this song is the most underrated
BB is one of the few bands that have yet to make a song i didn't like.
Chris Dinkins anyone else think dear agony was their best album
I think so.
Chris Dinkins We Are Not Alone, though.
Joshua Lewis shut up
+Joshua Lewis But the song 'so cold' was a great hit though.
Breaking Benjamin blasting in my room, is my sanctuary.
When I play it I'm my room it's my habitat
I haven't heard this in over 10 years....this hit hard.
I'm confused as to how anyone can even dislike this band...they are just too awesome...maybe that is why, people aren't ready to fully embrace the awesomeness of breaking benjamin???
So much Power
So much Fire
So much Understandable
So much True
So much Inside hate
So much Breaking Benjamin
I like it. 🔥
I literally love every single songs from BB just incredible band with deep lyrics and bens vocals are everything
To me, as someone who suffers from BPD/ Bipolar Depression, I have always interpreted this song as a battle between conflicting thoughts and personalities, as opposed to it being about another person.
I've viewed it that way, and about the effects of recovering from an addiction
Saw Breaking Benjamin in around 04 or 05 I believe. Still had the original band lineup and they blew the roof off that tiny little venue. Opened up for Shinedown when 45 came out and they were starting to blow up.
The chorus gives me goosebumps everytime. Amazing song.
Probably one of the most solid tracks of DA. Both instrumentally and lyrically just a catchy, darker song. Love it.
I love the riff it's so heavy 🤘
My absolute favorite BB song, I am in love with the guitar riff, the lyrics, the overall haunting feel of it.
Been a few years since I've heard this, still holds up to me.
This song has been on replay for a hour now. It's just that awesome
The best part of song:
Live! Fight!
Crawl back inside!
Sick! Blind!💔💔💔
Love left behind!!
Bro try to listen this song after 2 shot tequila
How could you be so freaking perfect everytime?
That outro gives me chills. Every. Time.
I think I broke the replay button
+Trevor Ouellette I named the replay button Benjamin, and I broke it.
+Mohsin Sait Good one 😂
lmao
@@mohsin_sait lmao that's awesome
@@mohsin_sait 😅 lol
2019 still here......still lit......still the truth in the lyrics
Kwymane Sheppard Still holding on
this song pretty much sums up my life and how I feel about people
sometimes I wonder where you people have been cuz every BB album has a song that is not boring and Breath is still such a new song. You need to listen to their first and second album. Been a fan since 2002
Saturate is my second favorite album with dear agony being my first.
Everytime I listen to any song by Breaking Benjamin I'm automatically put in a better mood.
I like to think of this song as a sort of fight or duel between the positive and negative aspects or emotions of life for dominance, but that's just my take on it. I like to imagine the lyrics as being spoken by either of the two as follows:
*Positive:*
A shadow of a man
I am nothing less
I am holding on
Still holding on
And every now and then
Life begins again
I am holding on
Still holding on
*Positive, to negative:*
I'm not like you
Your faceless lies
Your weak, dead heart
Your black dead eyes
I'll make it through
But not this time
Your hope is gone
And so is mine
*Positive:*
Live! Fight!
Crawl back inside!
*Negative:*
Sick! Blind!
Love left behind
*Both:*
And I won't live your weak wicked lie
You pull me in
I'm one step behind
*Negative:*
Show me where it hurts
And I will make it worse
Are you holding on?
Keep holding on
Dilated eyes
Shine for one last time
Are you holding on?
Keep holding on
*Negative, to positive:*
You're not like me
Your faceless lies
Your weak, dead heart
Your black dead eyes
I'll break you in
And let this die
Your hope is gone
And so is mine
*Positive:*
Live! Fight!
Crawl back inside!
*Negative:*
Sick! Blind!
Love left behind
*Both:*
And I won't live your weak wicked lie
You pulled me in
I'm one step behind
*Positive, to negative:*
I'm becoming a monster
Just like you
After it all
You'll try to break me too
*Negative, to positive:*
Falling forever
Chasing dreams
I brought you to life
So I can hear you scream
*Positive:*
Live! Fight!
Crawl back inside!
*Negative:*
Sick! Blind!
Love left behind
*Both:*
And I won't live your weak wicked lie
You pulled me in
I'm one step behind
I'm one step behind
I'm one step behind
Listen to it at least three times a day! It speaks to me on a personal level.

Do they any of their new songs out yet?
Pierre Wright They released one recently, it's called Failure. It is quite amazing, i must say.
That's good to hear. Ben has unfortunately always seemed to have trouble hitting notes when live, nice to hear he's worked on it.
going to my second BB concert this year in may 🤘
Nope Aaron is still with the band, Aaron has always been there.
Never heard a bad BB song! Every Breaking Benjamin song is AMAZING!
I’m just now rediscovering this. Feels so good to hear this again. Those screams are everything 😍
Lol - I was trying to get to sleep one night listening to Breaking Benjamin, and I had my Ipod in and they where singing their quite songs, like Rain and Without You, then all of a sudden Crawl comes on and im wide awake again...I love you Breaking Benjamin!
how many legends are in August 2021?
Always was here
My god, Ben's scream is amazing!!! Hard-core metal fan and it's point!!!!

Lol
On a breaking Benjamin marathon right now
Dear BB. When you come to cincinnati please play at bigger venues. I have missed you guys like 4 times over the last 6 or 7 years. Stop playing at Bogarts... the venue is way too small for a band as big as you guys. Tickets always are gone by the time I find out. Sincerely love you guys.
Relentless Ohio all the rappers take it 😑
I feel the anger rising inside of me. Love this song and the band.
Breaking Benjamin's music ages really well
One of my favorite songs from them.
I love when he says "I brought you to live, so I can hear your scream....
100 people are more than 1 step behind
120 now
+Jacob5664 128 now
More like fucking 198, idiots who dislikes this song fuck, what a day
achilleskid820 218 now
and im the 100th person to like this lol
I went to there concert tonight the greatest day of my life
Unfortunately this song perfectly describes my chaotic relationship I have with my brother. Went from being tight to hating each other. Such is life.
GOD BLESS BREAKING BENJAMIN
This song has been stuck in my head all day
"..holding on, still holding on". That means a lot to me
Ashley Hudanish for me also :)
One of the best bands \m/
2019. breaking benjamin ✌
I get Goosebumps when hearing Benjamin scream. It's also very hot omg
La mejor banda del mundo💕
One of my FAVORITE bands to listen to when on a road trip and blaring on the highway!
one of their best but my favorite songs by them is So Cold, it is awesome and got through some tough stuff! :)
I personally think their best Water, but it's tied with Crawl
This is the best quality one I could find on TH-cam. Listening to this with Turtle Beaches X12 is amazing. Breaking Benjamin is my new favorite band that still makes good music. Linkin Park is my all-time favorite though. That said, Minutes to Midnight was 50% good, as half of the songs sounded nothing like them. A Thousand Suns was just 100% failure
Woke up with this song stuck in my head had to liseng to it 🤘🤘
Best song on the album hands down
I hear ya brother just keep blowing up.. RIP SHIRLEY
To me the best part is” holding on still holding on” the emotion to it
totally agree chris bb just get better. Ben is such a good song writer I think hes been hurt bad at some point cause how else could he put so much emotion in the vocals
@TheGreatVelen this is my favorite song, by my favorite band, whos lead singer is the man i think has the most amazing voice, with the most talented guitarist, bassist, and drummer, and i am a 13 year old girl. nice to meet you.
Another great song by Breaking Benjamin.
unknown soldier and dancing with the devil are the songs that got me into this breaking Benjamin one of the best bands ever
TELL ME WHERE IT HURTS AND I WILL MAKE IT WORSE... story of everyone that knows me......
i cant stop listening to the harmonic progressions in the last chorus
BB know how to make a song that has meaning and is awesome to listen to.
It is, it's on Dear Agony. And you can buy it on its own too.
From 1:07 the guitars sound like in Papa Roach - Last Resort
This song is amazing! Has so much emotion
omg, i love this song!
this is my fav Breaking Benjamin! cause it has meaning to me and it's just hella epic! double whammy!
awesome song
I LOVE THIS BAND..
i love this music awesome
Wow!!!! One of the greatest hands down!!!!!!!!!
Tell me why this song is so addicting.
I don't know but it's like a drug for me
Because it's BB...
Because it awakes your inner warrior
I know right its the sound and vocals combined
I know right every time I listen to other BB songs I always finish off with Crawl
"show me where it hurts, and i will make it hurt" i absolutely love the verse :D
Why the hell is this what I fall asleep to.? OH YEAH! Because it's fuckin amazing!
Whoa, great song. Totally one of my fav by BB now...

Me
Im still holdin on in 2019

This band has some of the best bridges of any rock band.
i notice Benjamin Burnley analyzes the 4 B symbol enough to create structure.
I found this band when I heard "Breath" on iTunes Radio. Have loved Breaking Benjamin ever since.
***** yeah. Phobia is my favorite CD. But there awesome all together
who else gets goosebumps from 3:32 - 3:36 when ben elongates 'and i wont live ur weak wicked liiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
One of my fav songs and it slaps soooooooo good in the ride
When you have felt the cold loveless fear of abandonment as a kid you know what bb is about.
Love it. Breaking Benjiman is my favorite band!
Teens these days listen to rap and country I hate those kinds of music I listen to Breaking Benjamin all day I'm 16 and been a fan since I was 4
A lot of teens that like rock like the crap stuff like "black veil brides" and "pierce the veil" that makes me wanna puke. Not all, but majority.
Thank you! I'm like the only girl at my school who listens to old rock music and music like Linkin Park and Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace
Glad I'm not the only one. I grew up on this and Metallica, my parents even say I used to sleep to this kind of music as a baby lol
+Ysa Ketron Me too
same bro rock\metal is always on my playlist
So many other people listen to rap and stuff all the time. i listen to rock all day. now i have brought others to the good music.
i got here from a "johnny the homicidal maniac" comic, love this song
P. I.E love that comic
Chuck Norris needed real Rock music, so Breaking Benjamin was made!
Well my girlfriend of almost 4 years left me 2 days ago with basically no remorse. Here's to you.
Just happened to me a couple of weeks ago actually
Been there... two years ago my girlfriend of three years did the same to me. Tough stuff... good luck, brother!
Just happened to me in September. Best thing to ever happen to me though lol
