Failure Lyrics
Life will come our way
It has only just begun
The world will die alone
The frail will fall below
Time will take our place
We return it back to one
The calm before the cold
The long and lonely road
Look for the light that leads me home
Tired of feeling lost
Tired of letting go
Tear the whole world down
Tear the whole world down
Failure
Drive the cloud away
We will fall from last to none
The dark before the dawn
The war will carry on
Look for the light that leads me home
Tired of feeling lost
Tired of letting go
Tear the whole world down
Tear the whole world down
Tired of wasting breath
Tired of nothing left
Tear the whole world down
Tear the whole world down
Failure
Tired of feeling lost
Tired of letting go
Tear the whole world down
Tear the whole world down
Tired of wasting breath
Tired of nothing left
Tear the whole world down
Tear the whole world down
We bury the sunlight
We bury the sunlight
Failure
Failure
We bury the sunlight
We bury the sunlight
Failure
Failure
Failure
It has only just begun
The world will die alone
The frail will fall below
We return it back to one
The calm before the cold
The long and lonely road
Tired of letting go
Tear the whole world down
Tear the whole world down
We will fall from last to none
The dark before the dawn
The war will carry on
Tired of letting go
Tear the whole world down
Tear the whole world down
Tired of nothing left
Tear the whole world down
Tear the whole world down
Tired of letting go
Tear the whole world down
Tear the whole world down
Tired of nothing left
Tear the whole world down
Tear the whole world down
We bury the sunlight
Failure
Failure
We bury the sunlight
Failure

After their hiatus that lasted what seems like an eternity, this is by far one of the best comebacks I've ever heard. It is definitely one of my favorites by them and the message it holds is awesome. There's not a doubt in my mind that this song is meant to be for that person that's down on their luck and can't seem to do anything right. The whole song is Ben basically listing things that most people have experienced in their lives that made them feel like a "failure" and at the same time, it motivates the listener to push forward through the hell they're going through and start over which is what he means by "tear the whole world down". If you can overcome it and move on, you can say "farewell" to the failure that you thought yourself to be as it's said in the tail end of the song when Ben says in the background "so long" parallel to saying "failure". Truly, this is an amazing song inside and out from the instruments, to the lyrics, and to what it all means. What a great way to start off the Breaking Benjamin comeback!!
I've waited so long for Ben to get back to what he's truly gifted at. This song is about just being frustrated with life, feeling like you'll never be good enough.
This is like a sequel to I Will Not Bow. Instead of being selfish, you focus on yourself to the point of recognizing that life gets better and all of life isn't bad. "Life will come our way" - the good and the bad! Dismissing the people who failed you, who called you Failure, and the moments of failing. If we don't fail we can't grow so it's okay to fail! The point is to grow from our failure and thank the past for leading U.S. Into a better present and future!!
Pretty sure this song is about suicide.
The "world" is basically the life of the hypothetical singer, as his life is his whole world, and he's going to "tear the whole world down" because he's "tired" of being a failure. The "failure" at the end of the chorus is like him saying it to himself, "You are a failure." He's looking for the "light" that leads him "home", most likely his hope for him to return to the place of light from which he was created, his home.
And it's mostly about the lousy ways of my contInment.. A people's "respect" a cities "future needs" "protection" policies, feelings..couldn't hate something worse
Best freaking comeback ever! I love it!!! Can't wait for Dark Before Dawn!!
Yeah you so far have been completely wrong.. Failure is the hope that I'll never have to see your faces again.. If I can start enough shot, just to be sure you won't come back.. At least not for very much fun or too long...
Life will come our way, it has only just begun. The world will die alone the frail will fall below( maybe if I try hard enough I can change my future.. Maybe there's someway to hurt or change you... Everybody here deserves that)
Time will take our(my) place we return it back to one(me) the calm before the cold(comfort but reminded inside of a horrible cold very lonely feeling)but it's better than within and if you)
Look for the light that leads me home( again hopefully there's a chance, your no fun!)
Tired of what you've made me do, tired every second of losing them( something/anything else. Just to lose you again and again..)
And finally. Tear my whole world down tear my whole world down . Failure
Tired of wasted breath(love) Always nothing left.
They bury our sunlight. Don't bury our (sun) light:FAILURE... Failure!

From a heavy faith Christian perspective, this can be such a powerful and meaningful song. And as all music reflects the art of God, any lyrics can have spiritual meaning to certain people. Here’s mine.\n\nThe 1st set of lyrics are “ Life will come our way, it has only just begun”. \n\nThis is a message of foresight is basically saying that life will eventually destroy this world, like there’s a tornado brewing and it will come your way. You think the world is bad now? Well it’s only just begun. The amount of sin and suffering we face in today’s society will only increase. \n\n“The world will die alone, The frail will fall below” \n\nAnother message foresight reminding us that as bad as this life may, it won’t last that long. The world will die alone because god left this word the moment Adam at the forbidden apple. And God has promised a new earth and a new Home in heaven. The frail will fall below is referring to those who reject God. At the end of times, they will fall below this world to hell.\n\n“Time will take our place, we return it back to one” \n\nThese lyrics are obvious. Time will outlive all of us and everything we did on earth will be replaced and forgotten. And at the very end, the world will go back to the original creator. God, The One.\n\n“The calm before the cold, the long and lonely road”\n\nThis a very sad truth. The earth will only get colder. That’s what sin does to us, it makes us cold and bitter. And without God here living in the world with us, we face it alone. Buts that’s how God planned. He wanted us to to have trust in love and rely on Him despite God not being here or being seen. That’s what Faith is. \n\n“ Look for the light that leads me home” \n\nThis is the most obvious lyrics in the entire song. \nThe light of Christ is often described as the only path to eternal life. Basically, our home in heaven. \n\nAfter listening to the chorus you’ll understand what the spiritual meaning I’m talking about is. It’s a plea to God to tear the whole world down. The message is asking “When are coming back Jesus? When will you end Satins reign of terror and Evil on use. When will the suffering end? \n\n“Failure” \n\nThe final lyric and clearest point this message is making is that this world is nothing but a reflection of Mankind’s Failure. Starting with Adam and getting worse and worse for thousands of years.\nI wouldn’t be surprised if one of the writers was Christian and wrote the lyrics. They are truly amazing. .
It's more of a direct judgement.. Your a f@$king failure! Don't take me!
