Unknown Soldier is such a underrated song

[@mattbelcher7135]

Like why is this song never talked about when talking about there best songs. It's way better then Diary of Jane. Its probably my 2nd favorite of there's and my 3rd favorite song of all time. Behind Never To Late and So Cold

[@CarterZaiko]

@@mattbelcher7135 Give Me a Sign is one of my favourite songs by them too and it’s so annoying how I Will Not Bow (which is still a good song don’t get me wrong) is better than Give Me a Sign.

[@mattbelcher7135]

@@CarterZaiko Yeah Give me a Sign is pretty good I'd put that in my top 5

[@EraKindak]

@@mattbelcher7135 Definitely!

[@charithnugawela3553]

Yes same doubt i have . This should be an overrated song

[@amy_louise9197]

This band deserves more recognition. Their music is out of this world, I'm in love with them. And the lyrics to their songs have such meaning

[@SLDFSpectreSix]

There's stories about him you know. The legend, they say. Yeah, seemed that way. Nothing could stop him. He could run towards the bad guys guns blazing, and not a single damn shot would touch him. He told us to give him some suppression fire while he charged their defenses. That's when I saw it. This... aerial vehicle swooped in and bombarded the area. The shots glowed a neon green as they smashed the ground and still they missed him. He never left us behind and if we couldn't walk, he carried us. To this day, we don't know who he was. He was a god... the ultimate warrior. The unknown soldier.

[@SLDFSpectreSix]

Nope.

[@shnawdude03]

[@maxfidyk4754]

Their most underrated song

[@jordanmaessen9655]

which I still find crazy cuz Phobia was one of, if not THE best album they put out to this day.

[@MissPanderp]

2:18-2:38 idk why, but these set of lyrics give me chills everytime. It never hurts just once, though. Just saying...

I think he's talking about death aka it only hurts just once

[@dk-sky3820]

[@TheForeheadOfDoom666]

@@dk-sky3820 yup he says 'it only hurts just once they're only broken bones hide the hate inside ' just before that its like the dying gasp of the soldier trying to fight back one last time in a hopeless situation where his (the soldier's) death is imminent

[@ReeeeeToaded]

Are you still there?

[@wuxiagamescentral]

Same could be said for a nasty break up. I had this one girl I gave everything to. Now it no longer hurts when I break up with someone. Which honestly hurts me more than anything. Knowing there is no one capable of moving me the way my first love did is extremely lonely.

[@cs-cl9qs]

If the world was ending I’d be listening to breaking benjamin

[@shilohlee4332]

I'm not saying that soldier's are faultless, I'm saying most are normal people (and thus flawed, and subject to normal human psychological weaknesses), and that the ones making the stupid, inhumane decisions are the Politicians. Blame the root cause, not the symptoms.

[@michyfighter1760]

[@ATankEnjoyer]

Music is a subjective thing and everyone can make their own interpretation, wonderful . But the music was written in the context of Unknown Soldiers, the same one that The tomb of the unknown soldier commemorates. A lot of countries have this monument, here in Canada it’s in Ottawa, in confederation square. It’s still a good song to make your own interpretation of, the lyrics are vague, and I like it this way.

[@AviChetriArtwork]

I think your comment would have been 10 times better if you were to remove, "If you aren't, that's you" and, "I'm not here to judge you" - In my world, being Christian isn't synonymous with being nice or good.

[@nettlednedflanders5736]

This reminds me of how much my life was affected by my grandpa's suicide. I used to be happy and always smiling. Now I'm just depressed and angry. My girlfriend seems like she's fed up with me being sad all the time but I don't know at this point, I just wish my grandpa was still here.

To all unknown soldiers who died we may not know you but we thank you just as much. You may have died and we didn't know your name, but you will live on as a US soldier.

[@Silver200916]

My Dad's been in the Army for 26 years, and he stayed enlisted because u help more people on the battlefield then sitting behind a desk. Still, we went to a lot of funerals, and he tells me how hard it was, and what it's all about. and hearing this song, you understand that it doesn't matter if you hate the guy beside you, because yah are fighting together for your lives and for your country,

[@Veinslayer554]

reminds me of when I went backpacking across Ireland. Breaking Benjamin kept me motivated

[@BlindedbyBullets]

Guys, the song doesn't have any one meaning. It applies to everyone in there own personal way. It brings pain, chills, sadness, hope, hapiness, and peace at the same time. Same goes for every other BB song, but this is the best. Hands down. Helped me through some real tough stuff.

people that disliked this dont understand the meaning, When u loss a friend in fighting it just breaks u. Ur whole sqaud is ur family to u when u see them die it breaks u more. If u see people who come back from the war....some wont even say anything about it and how many friends were lost to them. Even people they dont like makes a toll on them... so everyone stop haten and just remember the men and women who fought for ur country and ur freedom. I see this and that is why i am joining to help.

He was part of the Hell’s Angels 303rd Bombardment Group and he flew 30 combat missions in Europe as being part of the Eighth Air Force. He was awarded the DFC, DSC, Two Bronze Stars. ETO Medal, and the Air Medal. His Brother was on an escort carrier in the Pacific Theater during WWII. His other brother was in the Navy fighting the Japanese as well.

No man thinks about killing himself more than a combat veteran... I'm a breathing example. It's just nobody trained us to deal with all the bullshit that occurs in the civilian world, emotionally. People don't take the time to come to understand you, they just want you to understand and do for them. It's fucking pathetic and they wonder why PTSD is so invisible.

What you just said makes no sense and it's even worse that people are agreeing with you. Talk about irony, the very stupid people you are complaining about seems to be yourself.

[@MemesSpaghetti]

So only what you agree with is an intelligent opinion then? Funny, I thought a mark of intelligence was the ability to understand other people's opinions, even if you don't agree with them. Also, in front is two words, not one.
