Breaking Benjamin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you know i could never beat you?
And if i, if i could never find you
Never mind, i would not forget you
Can i stay alive forever?
Can i stay alive forever?
Can i stay alive forever?
Forever
Can i feel a chemical reaction?
Because i feel a hideous attraction
Could we share a poison apple?
Could it be maniacal and awful?
Can i stay alive forever?
Can i stay alive forever?
Can i stay alive forever?
Forever
Forever
Stay alive forever
Forever
Stay alive forever
Stay alive forever
Stay alive forever
Stay alive forever
Stay alive forever

Saturate was and is Breaking Benjamin's heaviest album.
When Ben screamed
"I'll shove your head underwater!!!"
At 24:01 to 24:06
I felt that.

I agree, definitely their heaviest album to date. Although, dear agony is their darkest.

Interesting, I recall a few years ago whenever anybody would try to upload a full BB album stream like this it would immediately get taken down by the label. I dont know why they changed that, but i think it's great that they now allow this

You Missed the distortion of sound at the beginning... Or other parts
Seems random sometimes.... Plus if you make no money off it, just need a copyright claim which they can do within minutes of an upload.... I have a few that are copyright claimed.
I think they figured out that it doesn't help if poor people can't hear the songs or new people that would otherwise not have bothered if not for YouTube...

Labels stand to make more money by forcing ads -
even on channels not already monetized - collecting revenue rather than fight take downs.
