@[ash1175443:26923] Check out the text below from the article at "http://thenewfury.com/wordpress/revisited-breaking-benjamins-modern-rock-opus-phobia/". "The strongest part of Phobia, though, is that the non-single cuts are some of the best material Breaking Benjamin will ever release. Case in point? Mid-album cut “Evil Angel”, which is a heavier track but also contains a soaring, magnificent chorus, and the undisputed best track on the album, “Unknown Soldier” – whose depiction of a soldier caught in battle is an emotionally gripping one, to be sure. However, it’s also referencing (subtly, of course, since Breaking Benjamin lyrics tend to be open to interpretation) personality disorders like bipolar and especially borderline personality disorder. Songs like these truly resonate with the common listener – especially if they know someone who’s served in battle, or has battled these disorders themselves." |

@[ash1175443:26921] I should know better than to even try to reply to a response like yours, but I'm feeling masochistic I guess. Call it the self-harming side of the war that is my BPD... I agree with @[inthepretendworld:26922] that the song is about BPD. That said, it can also be about war, because I can tell you that the two have a lot of similarities. Try reading about it. It's a hell I wouldn't wish on anyone, just like i wouldn't wish being a soldier in a war on anyone given the toll I know it takes on those who serve. @[inthepretendworld:26922] didn't "drag BB into (his) crap", BB put themselves there on purpose - whether they intended to use war as a metaphor for BPD or not. Real art is art that says just enough to leave it open to interpretation, and this song is a perfect example of doing just that - and doing it in a very smart way. |
