This song saved my life. I hold it dear to my heart. It's gotten me through some dark, disgusting, just venomous times. It's given me the necessary strength to go on and persevere, despite the immense pain I am stricken with. It has made me see that while I cannot escape this, I can become stronger. I can hold my head up and bear the pain, and wake up to do it again the next day and realize that there's a battle within myself, one which by virtue I refuse to back down from. Hope is something divine; and I am forever grateful for the hope that this song continues to give me and my brothers going through this.
"Why give up? Why give in? It's not enough It never is So I will go on until the end." The way Ben sings the chorus is beyond perfection and always give me strength to carry on on my darkest days. One of my absolute favorites of all the BB songs. I've loved this band since I was about 8 years old, I'm 21 now. Still listening and always will as long as I draw breath. 🤘❤
Me in 2007 feeling edgy listening to this song at 7am before I walked to school early to see my crush and my friends before class. Feeling like the problems i faced at this point were important and life ending. i made it, we all did. Proud of all you angst-ridden former teens from that time
This is still one of my favorite songs. 2004-2009 was a dark time for me. Dealt with every type of abuse at home, constantly moving cities & states, was isolated from other teens. Had no one to discuss mental health or stress with. I never even realized how messed up my life was until I was able to escape from my father. This song always meant a lot to me, especially the ending lyrics "the final fight I win, but I will go on until the end". I was always stubborn, so Until The End felt empowering and made me realize depression be damned. You're not giving up here.
I just had a friend very unexpectedly kill himself Saturday night... and it's been truly hard coping with it. A guy so full of life who inspired me to keep pushing on and moving on.. decided it wasn't enough any more. This was one of the songs he showed to me back earlier on in 8th grade.. I've been a die hard BB fan since freshmen year now. I never thought I'd come back to this song having it relate to something like this.. ugh FUCK man.
hey, it's alright. We all lose someone important sooner or later. May he rest in peace and don't be sad for he is gone, smile cause you met such a Wonderful person like him. ^^ Even if he's gone. he will live on in the hearts of those who cherished him. Like you! ^^ remember the good. forgo the negative
Braden Nielsen - That’s some really heavy stuff man :( I know it’s been two years since you posted and since your friend passed, but I hope that you’re doing ok.
The chorus of this song has helped me through some hard times in recovery. "Why give up, why give in? It's not enough, it never is" has given me a moment of clarity to keep driving on. I don't know if Ben wrote this about his own recovery from addiction or not, but, it's very powerful to remember those words.
@IronDiscipline Haven't drank since July of 2012, my friend. I now make a living helping homeless vets (which I was, briefly) overcome substance abuse and get back into permanent housing. Thank you for asking.
Breaking Benjamin, for me, is one of those bands where it's a struggle to pick just *one* favorite song bc all they're songs, again, for me, speak to me and are just so damn good
This song has been my anthem since I heard it. No matter what i have ever gone through in my life this song has always pushed me to get through it all. I will go on until the end. I will fight and push through all my demons and keep going. Breaking Benjamin always just hits the right spot with their music. my favorite band of all time
I feel like the song lyrics are about someone who is dealing with the ups and down in their life that is the result of addiction or a mental illness, and then managing to overcome it in the end.
Your right but it can be interpreted anyway you want for me it's my battle with bipolar depression. This song gave me my fighting spirt back. I'm still fighting.
It's a very sad loss. A lot of others will know exactly how you feel. I was the same when my girlfriend had it and died when I was visiting her in the hospital. Life is cruel and there's nothing we can do but hope. Sorry for your loss :(
This song makes me cry... it hits home so much! I remember when I started to listen to this band and I was in a dark place, but their music pulled me out of it.
This song describes my current situation of living, if you can call it living, I don't feel like I'm really doing much living, being a slave to drugs. I'm not ready to give it up yet though, it's fucked up.
I know you can do it. Don't be afraid to reach out for help; that's going to be the number one thing barring you from being sober permanently. I believe in you!
Abigail Brock clearly this song is not about fighting but to the best my knowledge of my main man Benjamin Burnley he wrote this song a bout suicide and how he wanted to drink his self to death as a kid. Not only that but he also talked about how he sat in a bath with a razor blade trying not to kill his self. One day he decides to stop drinking. Today he's still alive and I'm thankful cause this music gets me through my days.
The person who wrote these lyrics........ is intelligent. This is a great suicidal song for those who are desolate inside and hopeless. Depression is a scary feeling and I'm not talking about the type you get after losing a job or a breakup I mean when you get to a place where you can't find a reason to live anymore and the pain is unbearable, when your alone in your room with no love coming in from any direction in your life and your own self worth is thrown out the window. That feeling, is INTENSE it's impending doom and scary as shit. What do you do when you get to that point? reading a you tube comment or watching a video isn't going to help you that's how serious it is. Someone's advice might save you but love is all we need to survive. See, you don't need a fancy car or house, you don't need money or fame. At the end of the day, were human and we have many basic needs, food..water etc all life does but we specifically need "love" to survive. Well, what if you don't have love and don't know how to find it? What if you have no one? What if what you classify as "love" is something you can't "possibly" get? Look, were not perfect and life isn't perfect, everyone is dealt a different hand, each of us strong enough to deal with it until we give in, or until we decide to change it no matter how hard, or how long it'll take... it all depends on the individual. You have nothing to die for and everything to live for what you want today, that means whatever you want is worth a fight, why give in? It's easy to give up but you didn't even try and if you did....you didn't try hard enough because your still here. Find "love" guys find your love... find something to love whether it's yourself, a hobby, a person, a pet, nature, find a new path filled with love cultivated by you. Then you will find happiness. This is your chance, everyday is a "present" live in it and appreciate the opportunity you have to experience this life time and maybe right now it sucks but whose making it suck? no excuses. make a change. if you messed up somewhere, start over. goodluck
Thank you. I'm in a dark place right now. But I can see a light finally, and this song and seeing what you said here is really helping me get better. Again thank you so much.
The way Ben sings the chorus id beyond perfection. I've loved this band since I was about 8 years old, I'm 21 now. Still listening and always will as long as I draw breath.
i felt like giving up on everything yesterday. i felt like it doesnt matter how hard i try, itll never be good enough for people. im not a quitter. but after years and years of it all building up, it breaks a person. this morning my brother texts me and tells me to listen to this song since he heard how hard of a time i was going through. its the perfect song to hear when you feel like giving up. thanks matt. youre the best brother a girl could ask for.
I’m a struggling comedian and I have had a hard life to live but I heard this song and things started to change it made me stronger and gave me hope but it made me believe that I could take the next step and I’m glad I took the chance to be more than I thought I could ever be. Never give up and never in and I will go on until the end😢
"It's not enough, it never is, but I will go on until the end, I've lost my way, I've lost my way, but I will go on until the end." When the Allies become overwhelming.
Jon Dude shut up, nobody cares about your little cry for attention. Freaking nine year old, actually no that's an insult to nine year olds! Everybody does this lyric thing so quit being a baby, cry a river, build a bridge, and GET OVER IT!!!!
Chanky I do that now in seventh grade people think im emo I say nah I have good taste in REAL music i listen to eminem thats mostly only rap music or 50 cent tupac dr.dre (R.I.P)
I'm a child abuse & molestation survivor. This song always held a lot of meaning to me all those years ago, and I keep coming back. I wasn't suicidal, but I was a very empty and angry adolescent. The parts "Why give up, why give in? It's not enough; it never is. So I will go on until the end" and "The final fight I win" speaks to me. I've since cut all ties with my father and got rid of his surname. I can never forgive him for what he's done, but I'm much happier now away from that psycho.
"We've become, desolate, its not enough, it never is" best quote ever... the amount of truth in that one statement is too much for one person to comprehend.
But you are one person that comprehended the amount of truth in that statement because you said it is the "best quote ever". Your contradicted yourself.
BB does NOT have a single bad song. They are probably the most consistent rock band in history. Burnley is one of the most talented vocalists of the 2000s rock era.
this song just goes to show how powerful we are when we want to be im not talking about superhero crap im talking about how the devil can throw all he can at us and yet we still can pull through fighting God bless
I am so thankful this song exists. I just want the band memebers to someday read this and know ho wmuch they have helped me. if not oh well, either way.. this song is..
This song will always be important to my teen years, I remember going to high school and how much it destroyed me and in a way I was mentally gone for a long time as I was bullied a lot, but when I went to college I started to feel like a person again and I met people like me who I could relate to and my confidence started to come back along with a personality I never knew I had and it has helped me make new friends, open up to them and my family about what I went through and I even managed to fall in love with the girl of my dreams after years of thinking I was some hideous monster. It might not seem like loads to some but to me I have come a long way from high school and it's like the song says "go on until the end" or you'll never know if your story gets better. Edit: I’m engaged now too.
This song came to me at a very difficult time in my life I'm glad it did now whenever I feel depressed or down I always listen to this song it encourages me to get back up
I honestly forget these Breaking Benjamin songs have actual meanings that resonate with people because my only connection to them are old youtube AMVs I watched as a kid, more power to y'all though, and I'm glad that most of us can share an early love for this song and many others by this band
This song gives me strengh to go on in my life and don't give up on it. It describes really well when your life is going through shit but you don't want to give up because you know things will get better someday.
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve listened to this song to keep me strong. I’m going through an abuse relationship right now and I’ve Fkn had it. This song keeps me goin. I’m 28 leaving a ten year relationship with nothing to my name. But I’m a fighter and will make something of myself by myself! Thanks for this song!
Had to pop into the comments section to find my people! ❤️ This song spoke so deeply to my heart when I was a lost young teen longing for my own death. I did not realize how spiritually profound these lyrics were until I reached adulthood and developed a relationship with Yeshua ✝️ the final fight we win. This earth is not our home. Hang in there friends!
@@silverwolfsteve7021 yes, now make my answer, i can break a hardened soldier in under 4 minutes of waterboarding under an electric current, is ben broke yet? i can help whoever the fuck is trying, i hate when people struggle with simple shit making themselves look stupid, its just torture to extract info, break the mo'fucka already!
this is my favorite song, not because its sounds the greatest but this song got me into Breaking Benjamin and i love it because Until The End and Firefly are the first songs i listened to by breaking benjamin
This has to be Breaking Benjamin's iconic song...y'know that song every major rock band has that is usually the deepest and could easily be used as the ending credits music for a game or a song for a war scene, or in an amv etc...like for example Linkin Park - What I've Done, Three Days Grace - Time of Dying, and 30 Seconds to Mars - This is War, just to name a few...but that's just my opinion. ^w^ I think this song is one of my top 5 for Breaking Benjamin.
Most inspirational song of my entire life. I've been listening since 2007 and every single time i hear it it's as if i hear it for the first time. Love you ben
My broke ass finally managed to afford a good pair of earphones and hearing the intro just sent me to another fucking dimension!!!! SOUNDS SO FUCKING GOOD GOD DAMNIT!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Also on another note this takes me back to those depressed and suicidal teenage years and fucking hell these songs are what got me through my pathetic life at the time.... they really helped me get to the point where I wanted to help myself coz that's was the only way out. And I did. I'm dealing with things much better now and even managed to build some loving relationships with friends, a good man and my dog whereas my depression had me isolating myself from everyone that loved me. Breaking Benjamin will never know the kind of role that they played in literally saving my life and getting me this far. Thank you. ❤
this song reminds me of when my 19 year old dog died and she didn't want to die she is always missed I hate that she passed just like people with this comment so if you don't like this I don't ask you for it but if you like I know you have been through it and I can do the same
breaking Benjamin is just insanely awesome. they open with this crazy riff that would get most people thinking WTF is that noise then BAM gets slow but not like all lame slow he hits ya with the awesome lyrics. with that kick-ass drum riff. then BAM AGAIN hit with the chorus explaining how yeah everything sucks but who cares. even that pussy part where hes whining after the chorus aint even that bad cause hes fuckin screamin at you like shape the fuck up man/woman IM GOIN ON UNTIL THE END WITH OR WITHOUT YOU. I can box to this shit its inspiring for real tauk
The final fight I win, the final fight I win, the final fight I win, but I will go on until the end 💯💯 Such a motivational song but I will win the final fight in the end
My dads mom had a major stroke Thursday April 29th 2021... She's paralyzed on her right side😒😒 but this song is helping me stay calm.. thank u for posting the lyrics!
I know Ben and the band well. Years ago, as they were just coming up big, my roommate's popular local band opened up for them a couple times in mid sized venues at a big club, that attracted people there, because people could experience the band a lot better. Anyhow, to make it short, the band came back to our loft after the gig to hang out. I got to know them, and picked their brains. "UNTIL THE END'S" message was meant to be "UNIVERSAL" in "PICKING UP" AND "INSPIRING" individuals dealing with hard times and depression. Whether it be suicide, break ups, loss of loved ones, addiction, and hard obstacles in life, that he explained "MINDF#@K" people into "GIVING IN". They are an extremely talented band, in the fact that they can deliver powerful messages, and "MOVE" people to the bands "UNDERSTANDING AND EMBRACING" of ther's pains in life, thru their own trials and tribulations in life. All while their musical talent is so damn good, to go with delivering their powerful messages in their songs, makes them an intensely emotionally charged band, that their pure experience and raw talent, makes them one of my top 5 bands, to go along with the others that push forth the same type of message and musical talent...such as DISTURBED, CHEVELLE, AND DEFTONES. Anyhow, they've been on the sidelines over the past many years to "OBSERVE" how music would "EVOLVE", and don't quote me on this, but last time I chatted with them, they have some songs written, and are thinking of getting into the studio soon to piece an album together.
As a Christian, I relate this to sin always being a bother in my life, yet the Light is always there. So I can't give up because sin corrupts me, for I am saved & in the end my Savior will return.
+DSisters0914 Sometimes I feel like they actually are, but that's the mystery of music. So many different meanings that can be applied to everyone. I love Breaking Benjamin.
I remember when this dropped, it was the middle of our operation in Ramadi and i was surrounded by some of the best friends ill ever have. By August we were so beaten down, then a friend of mine introduced me to BB, and ill never forget him or this album. RIP Pfc brian davis.
