Emotion. Real emotion in a song.... That is what old music is all about, and hearing it in one of my favorite bands always brings a little more joy to my heart than before. This is why people are so much more attached to old songs. This song in particular brings sorrow to my heart, but even then it is still amazing for them to show the delusion of one man wanting what is killing him, or leaving him to die. Breaking Benjamin deserves to have its praises sung through all of the music industry in general.
+turd burgler Everyone can have a reason to commit suicide. Watching a death, feeling a pain, or sometimes just being bored. If you are looking for a "valid" reason, then there is never a reason to commit suicide. If you are holding over anyone that you have reasons, then you are trying to garner attention (although I am not one to believe this is the case with you). I have many reasons to commit suicide, just not enough naivete to do so without waiting to see what life holds, though the right mind set can always sway the most timid of minds.
then your dad had this AMAZING taste for music, would also recommend songs like Dear Agony(ft Lacey), Give me a Sign and Breath, also hope you're having a dopeass day, good luck with everything you're doing
I can't pretend to know your pain but I will pray for your happiness even though it's been 5 years. You deserve happiness and ps. Your dad had amazing taste in music 😊
Not many songs make me cry just like that, but this songs holds something dark and overwhelmingly sad that makes me burst into tears. Although it is dark it is among one of the most beautiful songs i've heard. Benjamin Burnley is an incredible songwriter.
Hope you are doing okay these days man. I don't know what you are going through, but maybe professional help is the answer, or talking to a trusted friend about what you are going through. People care about you, even if it may not feel like it at times. Wish you the best.
@@ThePoopmancer Yo, hello there! How are you? I'm so sorry that I'm just now replying back to you, haha. But, awww, your comment is just so very sweet! Thank you, I really appreciate your words and concern! I'm doing good. ;w;
Because their songs are always so dark, i like to listen to them when i am in a certain mood. Like sad, lonely, angry or when i feel like watching horror movies. All songs really give a special feeling
This song got me through my divorce and cancer diagnosis back in 2009. It was such a release singing this song in my car to process all of the pain. I used to ride in the car with my newborn daughter in the back seat in her car seat sleep. And i would just sing this song and at times she would wake up and give a small smirk
I attend a University where all I hear is country and pop music. When I played Breaking Benjamin, they tell me to turn off that emo music. Its so sad that truly talented bands like them aren't as popular as pop stars that don't even know how to write music. This is my all time favourite song by them!!! Love them!!!!!
love this song....if you think about it it seems like this song is about death and the reaper...one who's considered to be an "evil angel" because he's the only angel to take life and nor protect it. why can't I breath evil angel? it's because the reaper is taking him.....
+brandon roman Personally i interpreted it as a woman that had stolen his heart. And flew off with it and he is trying to figure out how he can survive without her. Wishing she had just killed him instead as he feels death
I guess that's one way to look at it. My friend jadedNomad said that it could be the theme for our characters Rainax and Velant (who are lovers). I agree with him. It also works as their battle theme :D
This song seems to be about, to me, people with depression committing suicide and realizing to late that it was the wrong choice to make. The Evil angel , to me, is the Biblical death angel and they are asking them to fly over them and open his wings, to take them from this world, but regret it, hence saying why cant I breathe.
Why would they ask depression to take them though? Depressed people don't want to be depressed and wouldn't ask to be depressed. But that is just my interpretation of the song. Every piece of art can hold a different meaning to each person due to the differences in the people.
+Dylan Downey Damn ook at this guy with the Confederate flag behind him. Probably the reason of your depression and suicidal thoughts is because of the other race people lmao
Another masterpiece by one of the best bands! Oh how I miss this REAL music!!! I can listen to this song over and over again. His vocals give me chills when he sings "Anngeeelll". My ex/baby daddy used to play this song for me all the time cause my name is "Angelia'. I still listen to this because it's just BEAUTIFUL. 😇😭 Used to make me cry, sometimes it still does....
Last summer I helped my 60 some year old grandma out of the bathroom and into the truck so she could go to the hospital. I laid down on the couch and turned on my MP3 to this song. When I woke up my dad told me that my grandmother, who had raised me for the first ten years of my life, had passed away from a severed artery. I still cant believe she is really gone and this song always makes me think of her.
I absolutely love this song. My brothers used to play and sing this song for me and occasionally I'd sing with them. I had a few close male friends of mine tell me that this was my song. Its a beautiful song and you've executed it very well. :) good job.
Birds of a feather always hurts my head but I don’t question it cause this is one of my favorites. Never have found a song I didnt care for by them, and I can’t say that for any other band. Bb forever !
I really love listening to this when im sad, seems to pick my mood up a bit, you know? Well, hope those listening to this have a good night, and sleep tight.
This song means a lot to me. I can't get through the day/sleep without drinking. I feel like it perfectly describes the relief and guilt that comes with being alcohol dependent
This song and until the end actually helped me stop drinking like I used to when it was like a crutch I'd use to forget depressing crap and instead try to move on and look towards the brighter side of things. It showed me that the alcohol, while feeling so good and medicating, will destroy your life if you're not careful. It taught me that sometimes life sucks and the only thing you can do when you fall off is to pick yourself back up and try again and again until you can make something out of it.
well...I think this evil angel is not evil at all. The angel is just taking him to heaven as angels do. But he wants to stay here. Thus he is begging the angel to leave him. of course there is nothing the angel can do about this plea so he takes him kicking and screaming to be judged...or whatever.
Always end up coming back to this tune. My favorite from any of their albums. "So Cold" "Breath" "I Will Not Bow" and "Phase" are very close runner-ups, though.
Currently in a middle of monetary problems, relationship issues between my parents and I, my sister leaving home, broken heart thats hasnt healed, trying to find another job, all these just hit me all at once, and trying to keep it together because of how much frustration and stress its already put me through, and hearing this song just brought me to tears because it reflects on how I am right now
E Bem provavel que seja zueira ja que e muito comum nos estados unidos a pessoa ouvir uma musica e trocar uma parte da letra por um Meme ou cantor que pareça com a letra entende?Qualquer musica tem um cara que faz piada assim
Eu honestamente fiquei supreso de vc não saber que e comum isso e sinceramente acho que vc entendeu errado. não e SEMPRE DE JUSTIM BIEBER. Brasil e os estados unidos tem memes diferentes,Por exemplo o meme que ta viralizando agora no brasil e''meu pau te ama''Nos estados unidos não e assim,sao mais cenas de desenhos e filmes,Não to dizendo que e SEMPRE ASSIM claro. Vc entendeu errado,denovo E não eu to bem longe de ser fã do justin E denovo isso e considerado zueira nos estados unidos
This song out of all BB's songs has always been one of the ones to interest me most, lyrically. A lot of pain and I believe experience went into this. I always felt this song was about drugs, or addiction. We think of angels as our protectors, we find solace in them watching over us. I feel like whoever Ben is singing for sees an Angel as, finds solace in whatever his drug of choice is. I'll use Heroine as an example. "No, don't leave me to die here, help me survive here" to me sounds like our character realizes the negative effects it has on his body but doesn't want to stop because ,ironically, he finds it necessary to make it through life. "Put me to sleep evil angel" (He says As he injects the needle) "Open your wings evil angel" (He says as gets ready for it to take effect on his mind) "Fly over me evil angel" (He says as feels the effects of it flow through his mind) "Why can't I breathe evil angel?" (He asks as he dies, realizing what he thought was giving him peace was evil.
still my most most most fav band of all time.. there art hits home on sooo many levels..had a ticket to go to a concert and boss said sure you can have it off then when the day came no one would fill in so I had to eat that ticket..pissed me off sooo bad but I had to eat sooo
breaking benjamin was my brothers favorite band... last Christmas eve he took his own life due to overwhelming depression and I think of him when I listen to this song... put me to sleep evil angel.. why can't I breathe evil angel... fly over me evil angel...
This song reminds me when I was in wrestling, football and track and field, all the training I did in the weight room all the battles iv been through in those sports
Iam tired of every thing, Life, Death, diseases, anger, hatred, love, happiness, sadness, depression, just take my Lifeeee, put me to sleep forever God!!!!
the plant supervisor was playing this on the fab boom box all the way at the other end of the plant where i work at. I couldnt hear any of the words but the sound stuck in my head and i knew it was breaking benjamin. Figured it was a newer song but had no luck. i was like maybe its on this album. All i know is this sounded way better in that huge shop than any speaker can recreate
Tyrone Foulkes I did too .-. The funny thing was that I found this song WHILE we were dating. And I always felt awkward about playing it. Now I don't ;D
Lhopx21 Guess I'm part of the club, then. My girlfriend just became my ex, and while I plan on fixing that as best I can without forcing anything on her, I still call her Angel.
Trunks1stApprentice Yeah, you probably shouldn't do that. Just let it go, dude. Hard as it is to believe, you don't NEED her in your life. You can move on.
Tyrone Foulkes She didn't treat me bad. She and I will tell you different stories as to why she left. She'll say it's because she started loving me less like a lover and more like a brother, I'll say it's because I didn't love her enough (which she will deny).
+Lula Ethan Many (if not the majority) of his songs are about depression and unreturned love. In my opinion they therefore contain more realistic sentences than most other lyrics, movies, books, etc. You might want to listen to these as well: *"The diary of Jane"*, *"Here we are"* and *"So cold"*
This song makes me think about my 2year old son I love and miss him so much I listened to this song and put it to his mother belly when he was a month old while she was preg...and all the way til he was born so he listens to it til this day
I fell like Chad's cymbal work really shines on this track. Moreso than anything else he's done. Don't take that the wrong way, he is incredible on every track. It's just that this one really brings out his creativity.
Yeah. I thought of that when I was writing down the lyrics and listening to it. I was doing this slideshow over it and that verse came and I was like. "Oh crap. What if people thinks it's 'I'm a belieber'" Although I don't see anything wrong with that. I would just leave that kid alone.
im not close to my mom fr never was she did alot of stuff to me and let her mom do stuff to me bro she didnt do nun i dont feel safe around her so i can relate its hard to call her mom it took me 12 years just to do that
Breaking Benjamin f!@$ing rocks! My favorite metal band righr now...They sing about my thoughts, feelings, and my current lifes events. Pure Spiritual Enchantment! I love them forever!!!
Rin Okumura so because they like who they like, you don't like it? get over it. I'm not a fan personally, but I don't mind if theirs a belieber here, as long as they don't spam this jb Im good
my husband filled in for the drummer in this recording. he got no royalties, but a check and the awesome feeling of knowing that's him on there is a forever awesome memory for him.
