Breaking Benjamin - Red Cold River (LYRIC VIDEO)

[@TheBowlCombo]

Thanks for watching this everyone! FYI I am pretty much guessing at these lyrics. As we all are of course. I imagine there's a few mistakes. Either way I appreciate the positive words !

[@WarrenStanley]

The Bowl Combo Awesome job and thanks for sharing, I love this song and Breaking Benjamin.

[@TheBowlCombo]

+Warren Stanley hey thanks man! Agree love this band so much !

[@WarrenStanley]

The Bowl Combo Yeah they are my favorite band and have been for a long time. Really wanna see them live.

[@stevenfitzgerald7182]

The Bowl Combo Good job man. Love BB. And they are always good with a bowl combo! Haha

[@TheBowlCombo]

Steven Fitzgerald LOL damn right! Thanks man! I sometimes wonder if the whole bowl combo thing gets lost in translation. Good to see people understand it's a KFC reference.

[@marcogomitolini8227]

RED COLD RIVERRRRRRR

[@acetown2263]

They were my favourite band growing up, and now as an adult nearly 30, the fact that they still rock their old sound and still make new sounds out of it is amazing to me

[@AirborneDaddy.]

31yrs old here. Agreed brother. Word for word, I beyond fucking agree.

[@150_md.mahinabdullah7]

Legend says he's still shouting the guy named ‘Ron'.

[@sandrosuarez9676]

This song is about the great adventures of the legendary one: "Ron"

[@Mynameistyler183]

Ben: RON!! RON!!! RON!!! Ron: Oh my God, WHAT DO YOU WANT?!

[@PamIsley314]

I often come back to this song and others like it when I am consumed by the alluring call to oblivion, and I find it therapeutic. Sometimes it pulls me out of it, sometimes I get sadder, but it's always makes me feel less alone regardless. Try to find a reason to live indeed

[@ryleyray7550]

I think this song has saved me from my fucked up perceptions from time to time

[@baronvonkaiser9912]

The sheer primal rage in the "RED COLD RIVER" awakens something deep inside my monkey brain

[@terryeffinp]

Didn't care for it when I first heard it, then I listened to it again and again and again and again. Now I love it. Breaking Benjamin btw is one of the best bands I have ever seen live they sound the same live as they do in a studio recording.

[@stephengibson5886]

Lovin this song. Breaking Benjamin never disappoints. Awesome!!!

[@TheBowlCombo]

+Stephen Gibson hell yeah man !

[@fiction8495]

Never. Period.

[@kourtneyrenee4492]

[@benjaminarnold5488]

am I the only one who has an eargasm when he he growls in this song

[@ShawtyCheeseJ]

Hell nah

[@bittyneko]

No.

[@LordofDiamondsMetal]

It’s the bassist who does the growls.

[@youtubestuff683]

No, but I didn't only have a eargasam

[@janedoe5980]

No, no you are not~ ;3

[@ariananicoleleon8309]

Seriously feel like my life is at a standstill. I’ve been so chill calm and happy. Even after my two and half year relationship ended I got a new job and honestly i can’t stand trying to be happy anymore. I can’t try to be happy anymore! I was listening to stupid mainstream music then started listening to rap for my anger. I am at home with these guys. . Worst part is I don’t feel a depression coming - it’s literally as if I can feel my humanity slipping away from me as I freeze over with numbness. Legit this song is everything right now to me.

[@kaylavancalster4466]

Like fine wine:) gets better with age❤️❤️

[@TheBowlCombo]

+Kayla VanCalster My thoughts exactly !

[@CC-8891]

I love how consistently awesome Ben Burnley is! He's getting even better with age. Like a fine wine, or in this case I would compare him to scotch.

[@Deadspace_YT]

Kayla VanCalster so true

[@ThatGuy-cm9wj]

Nailed it

[@TheCorujax]

Yeah Burnley is a hell of a songwriter 🤘 Perhaps THE BEST of our age?

[@kadenjones7267]

As a drummer knowing his rhythm, this is fantastic for practice.

[@darciacotie3597]

Seen these guys twice live, they put on such a great show.

[@emms3641]

It's very rare to come across good music nowadays. Which is exactly why I love this song cause it's sooooooo good

[@gasser5001]

this is one of maybe 3 bands where i can listen to every album, every song, and sing everyone, and never skip one. best band of 20XX easy.

[@R3G3N3RATI0N]

Still has that distinctive Breaking Benjamin sound.

[@YoGuyCam]

Lyrics as confirmed by Aaron. Days reborn, fight with folded hands Pain left below, the lifeless live again RUN x3 RED COLD RIVER RUN X3 RED COLD RIVER I can't feel anything at all this life has left me cold and damned I can't feel anything at all this love has led me to the end Stay reformed, erase this perfect world Hate left below, the dark stray dog of war RUNX3 RED COLD RIVER I can't feel anything at all, this life has left me cold and damned I can't feel anything at all this love has led me to the end (Try to find a reason to live x5) Bridge blend with chorus at the end RUNX3 RED COLD RIVER

[@TheBowlCombo]

+Jessica Perry nice ! So i missed two parts i think. Not bad i guess !!

[@TheBowlCombo]

+The Bowl Combo also it makes it pretty clear this song is politically driven. Possibly a first for BB.

[@meetyodebert3407]

Jessica Perry thank you

[@meetyodebert3407]

The Bowl Combo politically driven in what way

[@TheBowlCombo]

+MeetYodeBert i feel like its a reference to a war mentality. Dark stray dog of war. Erase this perfect world. Red Cold River (reference to blood running). All seems to be referencing current or a near future if we keep up our ways. Just the vibe i got.

[@Ghost-vg9ih]

This band never dissapoints me ever. Neither will it do it to my dad. I can listen to Breaking Benjamin all day if I had too.

[@eyezick]

3:11 Double bass kicks leave me VERY HAPPY!

[@TheBowlCombo]

+ISAACSPN loving the double bass.

I remember the day I started listening to these guys. Still amazed by their music to this day!

[@TheBowlCombo]

+BlackWidowBeats MUSIC agreed man..i was like 13 years old. Saturate was my jam for years.

Best song so far. my opinion.

[@danielstover9550]

I can't feel anything at all this life has left me cold and dead these lyrics are a perfect explanation of what life can deal you

[@warofdeat]

The most relatable lyrics for me

[@xraysmusicgaming8405]

I just pressed the replay button 13 times. it was my first time hearing the song and I must say, this is the best song yet by BB.

[@darkabsol3123]

At first when I heard it I was like meh, but hearing it more I absolutely love it

[@TheBowlCombo]

+Dark Absol it's a great song !

[@breanntheartist1989]

+VidaFlux Paradox very possible. I figured dead was Ben-ish enough to be acceptable lol

[@Paradox-or5tk]

[@TheBowlCombo]

+lenguy45 welcome! Glad I could help you enjoy it.

[@nauri8138]

Such an amazing song! When I first saw Ben in the music vid I didn't believe it was him! Then I relized that it had been a while! But still when I first heard it is thought of a lot of things: zombies, depression, war, drugs, suicide, relationships, fights, aliens, so forth. But it's about a guy who lost his daughter and his friend was apparently an accomplice to the crime but the guy figured this out after he sold his soul to find out who did it and he's now a demon! So he beats the shit out of his friend and drags him to the same river his daughter was drowned in to give him the same fate as his daughter but his daughters angel rises from the river and stops him. They reach for each other but it's the power of an angel vs the power of a demon so the guy disintegrates. Now's the time to play the anthem of the angels! If you don't get the joke then look up the anthem of the angels on youtube.

[@TheFluffyWendigo]

I like to see the “story” is about a couple who are trapped in a blizzard and one of them dies and the other succumbed to eating their loved ones corpse and as a result becomes a Wendigo hence the “left me cold and damned” Wendigos are cursed with the never ending pain of starvation and freezing to death for all eternity due to their immortality and cravings of human flesh

[@janedoe5980]

When Ben screams the word run in this song he reminds me of a t-rex & I get goosebumps everywhere...so fucking epic XD

[@cursedtodie]

Best song released by them so far. How do they do it? Love all their songs and love this one the most. Pumped for the album \m/

[@TheBowlCombo]

+Darryl Sequeira seriously so good.

[@MrPatrickbuit]

Darryl Sequeira This is also my favourite Breaking Benjamin song. Which is insane, because I love their old music so much yet they managed to improve on a successful formula.

[@thelostboy8130]

Awesome

[@valaxius]

Nah that doesn't really apply to sociopaths or psychopaths. They actually do have some feelings and they dont run. You run from them. This song more relates to the effects of dating sociopaths and psychopaths.

[@ThallanarRabidtooth]

The first time you hear the chorus, and the "RUN!" blaring like a siren, it chills my blood. I wanted to shrink down in my seat cuz I felt truly terrified. I'm kinda hesitant to listen to it again but I know I will. I know it's hard to judge an entire album off one song and from what I've learned from Avenged Sevenfold's "The Stage" album, the first song can be deceiving (I really did not like the album as a whole, but the first 2 songs were amazing), but for some reason I feel like this album will be their best... at least in my opinion. The album cover art, even the name "Ember" it's just... It resonates with me so well.

[@ashareichel3381]

"Every band has a bad album". That's a saying that I have been using since goodness knows how long, but damn it, Breaking Benjamin is officially the 1st band EVER to have broken my age old oath. I heard SOAD, Nirvana, and Tool and yes, those bands have never made a bad album, but BB has been releasing material, CONSISTENTLY, FOR 2 DECADES. Not a damn band on gods green earth has done the same thing. I know I sound like a biased HEAVY diehard rn, and maybe I am; is just the fact that in my decade of having that oath, it has never been broken before. Breaking Benjamin is, as of 2019, the greatest group of artists of the 2000s. Plain and simple.
