Breaking Benjamin Hopeless Lyrics

Hopeless by Breaking Benjamin off of the album Dear Agony.
For those of you who prefer description lyrics:
Here I lie forever, sorrow still remains
Will the water pull me down and wash it all away?
Come and take me over, welcome to the game
Will the current drag me down and carry me away?
Suddenly the light begins to fade
Hopeless, I'm falling down
Filthy, I can't wake up
I cannot hold on, I will not let go
Worthless, it's over now
Guilty, there's no way out
I cannot hold on, I will not let go
Silent I go under, I am not afraid
I can see the daylight shine and slowly drift away
Safe to say it's over, sink into the grave
There is nothing left inside but I am wide awake
I can hear the devil call my name
Hopeless, I'm falling down
Filthy, I can't wake up
I cannot hold on, I will not let go
Worthless, it's over now
Guilty, there's no way out
I cannot hold on, I will not let go
Hopeless, I'm falling down
Filthy, I can't wake up
I cannot hold on, I will not let go
Worthless, it's over now
Guilty, there's no way out
I cannot hold on, I will not let go
Hopeless, hopeless

+UveBeenKilled Some of their songs take my Breath away

[@JadedZack]

most artists use these types of songs as an outlet because they are told they aren't allowed to speak of what happened to them.some are even crys for help but people never get it.

[@dario2011]

Chester Bennington is the perfect example. Linkin Park’s music were literally cries by him but we didn’t listen & now he’s gone 😭

[@TheConservativesrock]

I love how he ends with the resounding "I will not let go!" He feels like he cannot hold on. He feels hopeless. Yet, he refuses to give up. He refuses to let go.

[@TheBikemaster94]

Struggles with alcohol

[@jasminejanelle1228]

Breaking Benjamin is BEAST. They're songs tap the soul and release all your inner feelings...simply amazing

[@jensmrekar4062]

U hit the fucking nail on the head!! I love this band with all my being

[@osmanfaaruk]

Yup

[@anenlightenedmisfit6262]

Indeed. If they can't shake your soul, you are already a dead man. 😢

[@TheDevilsMaster97]

One of Breaking Benjamin's best songs!

[@yankovicfan17]

You know it's a good song when it can bring goose bumps to your skin.

[@mjlamerton387]

Ive heard ONLY FOUR songs by them and i have fallen in love with them! The guitar is so on point and the lyrics are too relatable

Since I discovered BB, they have been my savior in my darkest times, my strength in my darkest hour and my shoulder to lean on in my weakest moments! I will never stop listening to this band and they have helped me through so much that I cannot even start to explain how much they mean to me. And for anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about then listen to their songs and you'll understand for yourself just how powerful their music actually is! Long live BB!!!! Thank you guys for everything. From the UK!! Xx

[@phearbunny]

Almost every Breaking Benjamin song makes me think exclusively about when the mother of my child left me for another man, my feelings towards the situation, and the events that took place afterwards.

[@jasonwright4222]

Same for me bro

[@ferdinandhlavac3842]

Truthfully I think this is about a mans guilt, and how its slowly tearing him apart.

[@toasterrobot8566]

Its about spirit too: "i cannot hold on, i will not let go!"

[@drewabbott6993]

Or relationship with a divided family

[@alexandriaburnett2801]

this song reminds me of all of my overdoses

[@haku301.]

Well it is about guilt, for not ditching alcohol, he wrote this entire album after his struggles with alcohol, depression, and getting critically ill after his addiction.

[@JTTheClicker]

So that's why i fell in love with this song in particular.. It.. Speaks to me unlike any other..

[@acetown2263]

Listened to this in highschool when it released, listened to it years later during my worst/addiction phase, and i'm listening to it now nearly a decade after launch at the best point in my life. Breaking Benjamin really has helped me through so much

[@Dgreen20]

Very few bands use this much emotion when performing their songs. This is why i love this band. they use real emotions and experiences when they play their songs. i respect their talent and ability to let everyone know how they fell within through their lyrics.

[@GTSWRESTLING]

I listened to this once and already fell in love with it!

[@conyrios11]

Same

[@swapnanilsarkar5738]

The song speaks to me... It's not like I stay depressed all the time.. but it triggers something everytime I listen to it.

[@alcirfigueroa3712]

"I can her the devil call my name" "I cannot hold on" Made me cry after I almost hanged myself in march4 2018. Because I heard it. And it filled me with joy knowing I was about to finally feel free of all the pain When in the last second a police man graved me. I spent two weeks butt naked in a suicide watch. And started crying thinking of the damage I almost caused to my family. I couldn't believe the kind of trauma I almost left in my 3 and 5 year old siblings. I'm 22 now. Its almost been a year since that day. I lost everything. But I'm now happy to see the love of my family for the first time. After years of pure pain. I cried and felt my soul got lighter. I'm still trying to forget of those people who hurt me and cry myself out of those emotions its the only way to feel free. ¡Have a nice and blessed day!

[@PsychoXOni]

Breaking Benjamin is awesome having a harmonious voice and meaningful lyrics describing in a Gothic style where it took me sometime to look in Google what they mean. THis band is gothically, rockingly, freedomly, and breakingly awesome! *snaps ben in half*

[@yeet7564]

Lol

[@CharlieQuinn2772]

i cant believe it..breaking benjamin got me through so much i owe them everything..iv not listened to em in a while, an my lifes changed loads, an suddelny they have almost no effect..its enough to make me wanna cry..

[@halevalen8768]

been a fan since thier beggining, still a super fan many years later. Will always be my one and favorite music addiction

[@GabrielRodriguez-oc5fq]

The beginning of the song has the most slickest guitar riff ever !

[@ghostofbungie9780]

I wish Ben would do an album with more screaming and growling involved, I’ve always loved how absolutely fucking gnarly his voice is, and to get even just a single song that’s like that would be incredible.

[@Cipher_Nine]

I listen to Skillet. I enjoy their instrumental but their lyrical content is next to bad imo. Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace will always top them in that cathegory

[@robertskurlock]

Skillet and Breaking Benjamin have been my 2 favorite groups since 2003. My brother got me into Breaking Benjamin when we played Day of Reckoning and heard Polyamorous. My late sister got me into Skillet when she gave me her Collide album and I heard Forsaken.

Stay strong mate! "Until the end"

[@aliceslipknot8540]

This song explicitly states how my life is. Hopeless, "I cannot hold on, I will not let go." I attempted suicide over five years ago through pills and ended up living without any permanent damage. Spent eight days (two on suicide watch) in a mental ward. The experience was terrible, and yet my mindset has never changed. No matter how sad, angry, or happy I am, I just hate living. Yet I can't bring myself to try again after failing before. So those lyrics I posted ring so true to how I'm living right now. Everyday I battle and struggle with myself.
