The dudes girlfriend (I thing his gf) killed herself and he gets her diary but he dosent know why she did it and if he loved her or how he fit in but he starts contemplating it (put myself right beside you) but he starts giving up on the diary (as I burn another page) and tries forgetting it (as I look the other way) he just can’t (I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane) but finally he gives up on the diary and returns it to her in the end as he lays it on her grave. Thats just his side though this video tells 2 storys. I don’t remember everything about her side but the way I always interpreted it is that she feels invisible to everyone around her and doesn’t know her place in the world so she kills herself in her bathtub but she wakes up confused and when she tries looking in the mirror there’s no glass so she starts running around her house trying to find herself but she finally finds where all the mirrors went (also where the band was playing) she can’t see her reflection anymore, she lost herself, finally realizing her fate

Been a long time since I watched this video, but I think you're absolutely right. It's about a guy's loss of his significant other after she died. He's trying to make sense out of it. He's considering killing himself to join her. (If I could, I would lay myself right beside you.) He reads her diary to find his place in it only to find no help. He's frustrated and mad, but decides to move on by burning the diary. I think you pretty much nailed her side of the video.

There is truly not a terrible Breaking Benjamin. They are one of the few bands where you could have an entire playlist of all their songs and not get sick of it. What they have gone through, especially Ben Burnley and how they are still producing quality music is a testimate to how special this band is. Dairy of Jane is a very fitting choice, it's the last song they perform live and with good reason. Personally, my favorite song not only by them but ANY band is Until the End. Doesn't get that much praise than some of their other songs. I see people recommending Animal I Have Become by TDG. Definitely recommended. Adam Gontier and Ben are the best vocalists in modern rock.

Notice how in the video, the girl wakes up in a bathtub. She realizes that the bathroom mirror is missing, so she goes around the whole house trying to find herself. The room the band is playing in has all of the mirrors, so she heads to that room, but when she stands in front of it, she can’t see her reflection. The end has the lead singer placing a rose (or something) in a book on tob of a stone slab, and when he walks away from the slab, it’s revealed to have words written on it. This stone slab is her gravestone. She died, whether it was an accidental drowning (hence the bathtub) or a suicide.

Dr Kirb Kenneth kirby you’re musically ignorant if you think Saturate, and Dear Agony or elevator music albums. You clearly haven’t heard their entire catalogue and especially more than 10sec after the intro of any of their songs aside from their popular tracks if that’s what you think of them. It’s ok to dislike but your description is way off. Not all their songs are heavy. Not everything needs to be heavy to sound good. The subtleness of Breaking Benjamin’s instrumentals is what makes them who they are not counting Ben. Dull? Never heard of that towards any proper band except from the elitists that only follow one genre and think that’s all that’s good..

@Alex Hefner This song is about a guy who was in a relationship with a girl for quite some time and the girl died (suicided I think). After her death he was reading her diary and she wrote about everything there. But there was not a single word about him. Like he never existed. So he's double heart-broken. That's what I heard a long time ago. Don't know if it's true but it fits

@justinvzu01 6 жыл бұрын

maciek turek I used to know a guy when I was growing up in ocean City. He was on heroin. He kept getting clean but going back. Became a born again Christian. I feel like that was the last conversation I had with him. He finally got married. They had a little baby girl. By the time the baby was two, the mother od'd and died. Dad kept having hallucinations over her death. He hung himself in one of the houses across from the newest Wawa gas stations. I'd love to see his diary.

@SortenRavn 6 жыл бұрын

Idk about that.. Going over the lyrics i think it holds water, in both cases.. Like, the guy tries to be the best for his partner, want to learn what gets her ball rolling.. ("Try to find out what makes you tick As I lie down, sore and sick" ) (her), but for her, it's like he never exists ("No love, there is no love Die for anyone What have I become?" , but also in the chorus ) As said, to me it holds water pretty tight tbh

I really don't mean to be a jerk, its just none of those bands are "new." They're all over 15 years old. Today, Metal is currently being shaped by bands like Power Trip (Thrash), Gatecreeper (Death Metal), Youth Code (Industrial), Code Orange (Metallic Hardcore), Ho99o9 (Noise Metal), Myrkur (Black Metal), Unleash The Archers (Power Metal), Elder (Doom). Metal is in a real Renaissance, the quality of bands today couldn't be higher and they're breaking the mold in new ways. Most aren't exactly radio friendly tho, either too heavy or their songs are too long. Just want to let you know that there is really dope modern Metal being produced today.

@The Dream Catcher, since you're more into mainstream Hard Rock sound than underground Metal you'd probably dig Doom Metal. Doom is groovier and heavier than Hard Rock but keeps the melodic elements. If you want to expand your horizons check out these albums, Elder - Reflections of a Floating World, Mastodon - Once More 'Round The Sun, Pallbearer - Heartless. All three of these albums were featured on multiple best of lists on the years they were released (2016 and 2017) and were critically acclaimed.

To me this song is deeper than the obvious lyrics. I think this song is about someone who wants to be with a woman desperately but not just because he loves her but because she needs help. He wants to be her support and help her through her struggle with depression, but she wouldn’t let him into her life and eventually committed suicide. It’s rather dark when you look at it that way but at the same time this song sounds so dang good I was head-banging while watching your reaction

Fit For An Autopsy - Black Mammoth Deathcore done right! Incredible song with a big message! Highly recommend checking it out just because of the message! Animals As Leaders - The Brain Dance It’s a 3 man instrumental band, they’re all absolute fantastic musicians! The song is beautiful, would recommend the 7 min version.

@NicholasGM78 6 жыл бұрын

@Alex Hefner The reason it's so "catchy" is because they've got deep roots in classical composition. They have a formula that's been used since the time of Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven, and other classical masters. That's why it has an almost cinematic feel. They also helped work on the soundtracks for the Xbox games Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2. Don't know about the others. But those guitars you hear.... yup.

Breaking Benjamin is dope af. I've been listening to Polyamorous and Home again recently Fun fact: they make references to Jane in other music videos/songs. For example in Angels Fall there's a boat with a plaque that reads SS Jane. And I think in Breath there's a part of the song where in the background you can hear Ben whispering "Jane, Jane, Jane"

ZeroContentSF right? It's such a random song. TBH maybe Metallica, since they've managed to make a kickass song about a Mark Twain book and 4 songs about HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. But it wouldn't sound the same

You want FIRE... Oh man Alex, you are about to embark on an incredible journey... Breaking Benjamin is one of the best rock bands of the last 20 years. NOT metal, not nu-metal, but totally KILLER in the writing and production of his own shit, played brilliantly by his bandmates past and present. Ben Burnley is one of the most prolific rock writers and musicians of his time. He was the answer to Creed, Crossfade, Default, Theory of a Deadman, Nickelback, Saliva, etc. By FAR one of my favorite bands during that time of NEED. Listen to all albums before "Dark Before Dawn" and LEARN.
