*"Being sad is not a weakness. It just reminds us how much we cared."*

I love how everyone has a different interpretation to what this song means. To me it is about someone deeply wounded by the world and in order to protect themselves they allow darkness to literally consume them. They become their worst self and lock away every bit of goodness deep inside to hide that which they view as weakness, since it hurts them. They have become their own demon with just a sliver of what they once were hidden away. I absolutely love this song.

When I hear this I hear the pain of an Empath.... hurting for the world.... taking the pain of others... trying to fix as much as they can. But still knowng they can't help everyone.. because when you hurt for others... their dark becomes yours as well...

The best, deepest, darkest songs ever from the greatest bands ever. I'm 52 years old. Breaking Benjiman is awesome.

Who is listening in 2020?)) Love this song

''Save this selfish world''... My God, that hits home

This is why I love music..it says so many things that are unsaid between people , but speaks volumes to the heart ..

Ben truly has the voice of an angel💙 so calming and dark, love Breaking Benjamin

Honestly, this is best song from "Ember" album from Breaking Benjamin! It's so beautiful!

Even the people with "an emotional range of a teaspoon" will love this its so beautifully made i just love it sosososoooo muchhh

This song reminds me of how we have let go of the people who meant so much to us because they wounded our hearts and keeping them in our lives means that the bleeding will continue. so we just became the dark of them just to make sure they're alive and well but from distance.

Great song! Who's listening in 2019?

Beautiful, haunting song, this is Ember's "Ashes Of Eden" moment.

This song really makes me emotional, no joke.

❤️❤️❤️I just love Breaking Benjamin, there songs are so darkly beautiful, they’ve never made a bad song to me.

Now the weak that fall, Return to ash, Defeated after all..... Sounds like the ending to infinity war 😎

In a world growing darker by the day. We can only pray that soon we will be pulled from the dark into the lighter, better place

We all have to keep fighting even if it's worthless in the end

This song is my favorite!!!I put it on repeat and and plug in my ear buds and just close my eyes and just listen ....I live in chronic never ending pain and my two favorite bands help me cope with the pain with there music!!..Thank You Breaking Benjamin and Shinedown!!Love You guys for your music!!!

It must have been inside my head I've lost the hope that I have lived And now, at last, it comes to pass We sleep, we dream, we have no less Along the path we lost our way It's all a game that I must play And now the weak that fall return to ash, defeated after all Fade away to the wicked world we left And I become the dark of you Say a prayer for the wounded heart within as I become the dark of you Let go, we know this kind of life We live, we breathe, we die They call me to the light, forever lost inside With every dream we find We feed, we burn, we lie The fall of humankind The everlasting light Fade away to the wicked world we left And I become the dark of you Say a prayer for the wounded heart within as I become the dark of you Let go, we know this kind of life We live, we breathe, we die They call me to the light, forever lost inside With every dream we find We feed, we burn, we lie The fall of humankind The everlasting light Fade away to the wicked world we left And I become the dark of you Say a prayer for the wounded heart within as I become the dark of you save this selfish world (Let go) save this selfish world (Let go) save this selfish world (Let go) save this selfish world

Can't stop listening to this. This song and Blood are my absolute favorites

BEAUTIFUL AND BREATHTAKING 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

This song makes me wanna live more.

I love this song. What would make it even better is if Amy Lee sang this with Ben in a duet. I can definitely hear her vocals alongside his especially in the bridge. Gives me chills every time I imagine it!

Sometimes you have to let go of certain people in your life cause they are not good for you and they don't want to change so.... Then they become the dark of you..... One day you will thank God you did let them go......,it's the fall of human kind..... Say a prayer for the wounded heart within...... Save this selfish world!!!!!

I love when he says the the dark of you it transitions from red to black and back again such a awesome lyric video and a awesome song 💕

I hope we get more songs like this one in the future. It doesn't feel like the other songs Benjamin has written in the past. Nothing against the old songs, but this feels more sorrowful and calming.

Such an amazing song, I'm hooked to this, gives me chills every time I hear it. Awesome job on the lyric video, very thankful u uploaded this.

We live, we breathe, we die... I struggle to understand why we all worry so much about what others think.

Perfect, this is it!

Arguably the most melodic song of Ember and the song which sticks so close to the heart

After listening to the song a dozen times, I’ve come to the conclusion that it is about the pride of the strong becoming the evil, the selfish rulers of the world who give to the weak, the fallen, nothing but empty words (prayers). I believe the song is a call to action, for the righteous to not wait for a god or higher power to save the selfish world, but for the righteous strong to stand against the darkness that the prideful strong have become.

In my opinion as Breaking Benjamin has become a favorite of my top five this is one band really does not have a bad song I mean even Home with the metaphor to the Wizard of Oz song it's brilliant as well as Forget It, What Lies Beneath, Away - I jam these daily along with so many more favorites. They're just unbelievable I just love them and for me cover to cover every album is brilliant. Genius.

I love the black and dark red (my 2 favorite colors) background. Combine it with lyrics from my all-time favorite band and I'm one happy camper 😊

Benjamin Burnley is such a great composer, with a beautiful voice. Love Breaking Benjamin. They sound better within every album.

The songs speaks to me every time I listen when I'm suffering with depression and suicidal thoughts just trying to live another day without killing myself

I really enjoy listening to breaking Benjamin cause it makes my soul feel at ease

Aside from the song being damn gorgeous, this is such a cool music video, the effects and stuff look awesome. Thanks for posting this, It makes the song even better! :)

Like they say you can't save everyone just live this to the fullest and sometimes it's difficult when you have so much pain inside it makes everyday harder and harder

As I become the dark of you..... Very powerful words right there......save this selfish world!!!!!

2019 this song is great 👇🏾

OMG this lyric video has made the song even more epic ❤️❤️

3:50 save this selfish world

"The fall of human kind" that's my favourite quote of the song. I'm not against humanity, I just think that most of the people who are living on our planet (about 70%) don't care about the next generation. Or maybe it's only the wealthy and politicans who care for themself. Who knows? Money rules the world, am I right? Well then maybe I was also right about the 70%.

It says when all has come to life but it's actually we know this kind of life. But I love this song so thanks for posting it, good quality

On the outside I’m crying a little but my head I’m crying a lot while yelling “MAKE IT ON TRENDING” people make the wrong music trend

Amazing.... Beautiful song by them.....!!!!

Is true this is maybe the best song in the ember album. Is a song with dark lyrics so the animation and the lyrics style goes perfect all is dark. I love this song so.. much.. everything is Dark..

This is my favorite song rn. Love Breaking Benjamin. Their lyrics r so 💪💪

My 2nd favorite song on Ember behind Torn In Two.

Such a dope lyric video.

Wow, love it

No matter what these guys are amazing. Each song have a deep meaning behind it and it's Badass. This song got me.

I like how you keep the Breaking Benjamin don’t we’ve all grown to love

Instant cold chills

My favorite song.

I love it

Save this selfish world!

Very well done. This is probably my favorite song on the album

What I love most about BB songs are how the lyrics are so adaptable and can resonate with so many people on so many levels. With every dream we find, we feed we burn we lie.. ahhhh I love ittttt

We feed, we burn, we lie. The ever lasting light. ☀️That's one hell of a Sun/Son.

They have never not made not 1 bad song! The new album is kick ass!!!! Keep up the good work !!!♡♡♡♡

I want an entire album with these "ashes of eden" slow and meaningful type of songs. (I'm not saying that BB isn't meaningful, I love every single song, but these types really hit me hard. Thank you, Benjamin Burnley.)

Great lyric video. Just awesome. Thanks)

..oh this song .., loved it .. until I listened to it repeatedly on a night some dark stuff happened to me.. still good though. It's like a goodbye to the old me.

Awesome band right here.

What do you do when you've tried desperately for the later part of 10 years trying to find excuses not to just...stop being. I'm honestly running out of excuses and have no one to turn to..

I sincerely hope that Ben and Derek Hough make more songs together, this is so beautiful.

It's all a game that I MUST play....

Breaking Benjamin.... what can I say , just like a expensive bottle of wine... only get better with age.. 💜🤘🏼 My 19yr old daughter is even hooked on these guys xxx

This will always be one of my favorite songs of all time. I love the melody and the melancholy sound.

How can anyone dislike this video. Unreal

I'm dying and this song hit me hard

Absolute masterpiece thank you for the share ❤️

Damn this lyric video is sick. Good job mate. Please make lyric Vids for all the songs from ember. This is amazing.

This song reminds me of a game I was playing recently called "Metro: Last Light". The lyrics fit perfectly with the storyline and the theme of the game.

First listened to them in 2004 as a senior. Shared with the love of my life and they got hooked too. Over a decade later and they are releasing music to heal the wounds left by her absence. While the light may have gone from my world, I at least can take her dark, so that no matter what she is protected, shielded, loved... "we feed, we burn, we lie..."

Freaking COVERED in goosebumps!!!! ❤️

man, this is sung so well. and sonicly the way the words sway. excellent

This song is so relaxing

Absolutely beautiful ❤

I so do NOT want to choose but this is the best song of Breaking Benjamin

Never give up your music for others.... music heals the soul...... I going to be 50 in Jan..... I live and breath metal... Ohhh TOOL!!!!! yeah 13 years song drops!!!.. ohhh and I get looks from the neighbors and their kids when I'm blasting BB.. Seasons After.. Metallica.... Marilyn Mason out the car giggles..

such a BEAUTIFUL song!!!!! THIS 50yr old can't get enough of it!!!

Definitely my favorite song from Ember. I love them all so much. Thank you for posting the lyrics!

Definitely one of my favourite BB songs. The emotion that the singing has is amazing. The video suits it as well, very well made
