Breaking Benjamin, 'Lights Out' -- New Song

Posted on May 26th 2010 11:37AM by Matthew Wilkening

'Lights Out' is the third single from Breaking Benjamin's recent album 'Dear Agony.' Distorted guitars and jackhammer drums push the song forward at a breakneck pace, while lead singer Benjamin Burley's voice shifts from an angelic state to an angry growl as he declares, "I thought you'd learn by now, it seems you haven't yet, I am the venom in your skin, and now your life is broken."

'Lights Out' follows two other singles from 'Dear Agony': 'Give Me a Sign' and 'I Will Not Bow,' which made AOL Radio's list of Top Rock Songs of 2009. The band is currently on tour with fellow hard rockers Nickelback and Shinedown. To hear Breaking Benjamin's new single, tune into AOL Radio's New Rock First station.

1. Unbelievable. Personally, the single should have been "Anthem of the Angels", "Without You" or "What Lies Beneath". This was a great song, but will it really make a good music video?

2. I agree nikolas I do think "Anthem of the Angels" could have been a better single or personally "Crawl" or "Into the Nothing" I'm not so sure about "Lights Out" how it is going to be a great music video.

4. Personally, Im very happy with this choice as a single. It is one of my favorites off the album. I dont think its a good idea to follow up "Give Me A Sign" with another slow song like " Anthem of the Angels". If it wasnt this song I say either "Fade Away" or "Hopeless".

5. it will make a good music video!!
what the heck are yall thinking?
honestly.. "anthem of the angels" was the song for the death of his grandfather.. i wouldnt think thatd be a single..
and "anthem of the angels" would definetely NOT make a good music video..
all breaking benjamin videos have been up tempo so far.. and i dont see them just standing there playing along to "anthem of the angels" in the video.. it'd be stupid..
