What Lies Beneath Lyrics

Cover art for What Lies Beneath lyrics by Breaking Benjamin

I think that this song is about rape..

"So I'll find what lies beneath Your sick twisted smile As I lay underneath Your cold jaded eyes Now you turn the tide on me 'Cause you're so unkind I will always be here For the rest of my life"

This is the victims point of view on the rape, "I will always be here for the rest of my life" is the victims trauma and how she/he will never be able to get the memory out of his/her mind.

"All in all You're no good You don't cry Like you should I'll be gone when you fall Your sad life Says it all"

This is the description of the rapist, someone depressed and no good. The victim is saying that he/she wont be around when the rapist gets punished.

"Don't carry me under You're the devil in disguise God sing for the hopeless I'm the one you left behind"

The victim is staying strong and wont let this incident corrupt him/her or take him/her away from god and religion. The victim didn't allow the rapist to control every part of him/her, he/she kept their mind and the rapist was unable to change who they are.
