probably once had you screaming in your car after a rough conversation with your significant other [Music] number nine evil angel a somber take on the agony of love here's a Breaking Benjamin track that actually compares faith to a spreading cancer [Music] [Applause] filled with religious metaphors and aggressive riffs evil angels seems to represent the conflicting ideals of pain and ecstasy with the lyrics expressing a willingness to be put to sleep aka death or taken away aka heaven [Music] in essence said angel is evil have only based on one simple idea a perception of faith and how one approaches their daily life [Music] thank you number eight dear agony if you're new to the sounds of Breaking Benjamin well just the title of this track speaks volumes about the band these guys love them some pain and sometimes they even address their feelings in proper form with dear agony Breaking Benjamin kicks off the song on a dark note detailing one's acceptance of imminent death only to about-face when they don't like what they see [Music] sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to rise up again and Breaking Benjamin reminded us of this concept in the most haunting of ways [Music] number seven give me a sign [Music] power ballad alerts repeat power ballad alert with an opening reference to a dead star Breaking Benjamin takes us into a world of darkness in which Shepherds are dams and nobody really gives two hoots about anything well at least from the lyrical point of view [Music] [Applause] we all know that any legitimate Rock epic contains references to destiny eternity and spirituality and would give me a sign Breaking Benjamin gave fans a shout-out to Noah and the Great Flood [Music] it's a rare radio-friendly hits from the group and it offers some hope to those searching for meaning in their horrible agony [Music] [Music] [Applause] number six blow me away first release on the halo 2 original soundtrack blow me away boasts that special type of energy and recklessness that's ideal for maintaining gamer adrenaline level [Music] of course this was the jam that broke the band as Benjamin Burleigh fired both Aaron Fink and Mark Lepofsky after accepting money from the label for a remix [Music] former drummer Jeremy Hummel also chimed in as he actually co-wrote blow me away years before and didn't receive the proper amount of Bank for his work when all was said and done Burley picked up the pieces and began anew [Music] number five polyamorous [Music] polyamorous it rolls off the tongue with sweet notes of honey and the scent of lilac but what does it mean well if you're not up on your Greek let's just say that it's an academic way of saying playa from a lyrical perspective Breaking Benjamin describes a fellas propensity to lose control of their hormones upon release polyamorous helped the band land a major deal with Hollywood Records thanks to its healthy dose of metal riffs heavy vocals and airplay from DJ turned Breaking Benjamin road manager Fredi Fabri [Music] number four so cold crowded street [Music] cryptic in nature and inspired by the film 28 days later this song can be applied to an apocalyptic future and certainly a distant past seemingly about the concept of false prophets so cold exemplifies the detachment that one may experience as a revolution looms whether it's personal or an actual societal uprising [Applause] as a testament to the songwriting prowess of Breaking Benjamin so cold gets right to the point while conjuring up images of a past present and future thus allowing one to experience the song in a variety of ways [Music] number three Brett aside from a couple of metaphorical lyrics breath takes a rather straightforward approach in expressing how somebody can just suck you up and relish in your pain [Music] because obviously a relationship can't just be cut and dry somebody must be declared the winner in that stupid little argument you're having and they'll boast about it until they take your breath away for all the wrong reasons [Music] hitting the number one spot on the Billboard mainstream Rock charts breath is not only one of the best Breaking Benjamin Tunes but a killer song as well [Music] [Applause] [Music] number two I will not bow speaking of power struggles here's a hype song for anyone hoping to retain a sense of dignity or maybe get the upper hand in a relationship [Music] sure maybe the lyrics are a little bit psycho as opposed to inspirational but the point is this don't back down from anything but and this is a big one be prepared to go a little mad along the way in other words I will not bow is one hell of a rebellion song and a track that only sounds better when turns up to 11 [Applause] before we unveil our topic here are a few honorable mentions [Applause] [Music] number one the diary of Jane our number one entry was inspired by a 30s era Hollywood flapper by the name of Jane O'Brien while the diary of Jane can be interpreted in a multitude of ways the overall vibe demonstrates the anxiety of having absolutely no clue of what makes someone tick or what they expect from a relationship [Music] [Applause] Jane who acts as the subject of the song represents all those hardened individuals who built a wall around themselves and keep you guessing until there's nothing left to do but unleash an epic death growl [Music]
