Breaking Benjamin – I will not bow (album: Dear Agony 2009)

This song is by Breaking Benjamin. They have a few awesome songs. I heard about them when they just released “until the end”, my hubby discovered the song and I couldn’t stop listening to it. Sometimes they sound too sentimental for my taste but they have released a few good addictive songs. This is definitely one of them!

My interpretation of the lyrics is that it’s about overcoming tough periods in your life, knowing that no matter what happens it’s going to get better and not letting your fears control your decisions. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the lead singer’s alcohol abuse and the way he deals with it.”All is lost again but I’m not giving in...” check out this wonderful song...

Song Facts:
It was featured on the soundtrack to the Bruce Willis film Surrogates. The song was not written specifically for the film, but according to drummer Chad Szeliga, “Ben sent a few songs to our record label, Hollywood Records,” which is owned by Disney, who then decided they “wanted a Breaking Benjamin song for this movie.”  (Wikipedia – I will not bow)
