?Hopless?
~Hopeless I’m falling down
Filthy I can’t wake up
I cannot hold on I will let go
Worthless its over now
Guilty there’s no way out
I cannot hold on I will not let go
~Hopless, Breaking Benjamin
~So I think that just to have something to actually write about I’m going to write about my meaning behind song lyrics. I normally disect lyrics when I’m listening to them while driving. I’m not sure if that’s the most safe thing to do when driving, but hey it makes that long drives by myself go by tons faster.
~So today its breaking benjamin, this song is off there new album Dear Agony, which is excellent by the way. Anyways, So looking at these lyrics I can really relate to them. I think Breaking Benjamin was most likely referencing an event or maybe situation probably with a girl or someone close to them and the extra hurt that comes along. Like someone messed up and he can’t find a way to fix it so he can’t hold on but at the same time there is no way that he can let go of her either. Its such a terrible predicament.
~I can of course relate these to my life. I often feel like i’m falling down with no one to catch me. I also feel worthless many times… Also I know I am guilty of heartbreak where there is no way out of changing what I did to cause it and watching the hurt in his eyes each and every day… Its a terrible experience. Knowing that you can’t hold on to him and you can’t let him go cuz you still love him, you just can’t be together. It gets even more apparent when he’s gone and with someone else… oh man the hurt is terrible. But there is nothing to stop it… You just feel hopeless…
