I've seen and met Breaking Benjamin a few times and twice when I saw them play this song live, they turned all the lights out and had us use our phone lights to shine at the stage and they said "The only light that you see is the light youre giving us" and I loved it. Hearing hundreds of people sing Give Me A Sign was incredible

This song is off their album "Dear Agony." It was the first album Ben wrote without the support of alcohol. He would use alcohol for writing music and became an alcoholic in the process. He finally became sober to write this album and his best friend (his grandfather) passed away while writing this album. I think in between his grandpa passing and staying clean he was able to create some of the most bittersweet music. I love this album so much. I used to listen to it every night I would drive to my gf's house in my teens. My favorite on the album is "Without You."

So each room is a reference to the previous albums. The kid represents the first album(on the monitor), the man with the finger tattoo was the cover of the second, the being walking to each room is the 3rd album cover, and the 4th (Ben's brain scan with is the album cover) is left in the room because it's the current album. The man leaves with the being because that's Ben's darkness and addiction showing that he is healing.

Man, ive been listening to this song since i bought the album on release and i have ALWAYS thought this song was written to god and was about his struggle with his faith. I thought "ill keep you alive if you show me the way" was him saying, ill keep your name alive but i need proof or "a sign". "God help me ive come undone, out of the light of the sun" I always heard as "out of the light of YOUR SON", as in jesus. Wild. Like 15 years of listening to this album and never once did i think it was about anything else. Reading all of these interpretations has been a ton of fun.

They are suffering and, Death..(The Entity)..The representative of the peaceful transfer from life to passing... is leading them off to whatever might be next. He's the one that died.

Interesting take on the video, but I think you missed a little. The figure walking up and down the hall isn't Benjamin, it's the Angel of Death. He's taking away people's pain by taking them away from their bodies. In the last room, based on the opening scene, you're led to believe that there's a young man crying by the bedside of his critically injured wife/girlfriend. Based on what occurred in the two previous rooms, you now see Death visiting, and you, the viewer, think, "Oh no! He's come to take her away!" But Death isn't there for her. The young man has been dead this entire time. He didn't survive the crash. From what I understand, Benjamin wrote the song (and much of the album) about his struggles to overcome severe alcoholism. This song is about the periodic wish that Death would just come and take him away from the physical torment that was the severe symptoms of alcohol withdrawal.

The one thing that is great about this song (and many others) is it can have different interpretations based on someone's experience and it won't be wrong. I always saw this song as being about a guy asking God to give him a sign that he shouldn't end his life because everything is either dead or dark. That second verse sounds like someone who is ready to end it. "I'll rise to fall again" meaning every time he gets out of these feelings he ends up back in them. So he's asking God to give him a sign that everything is going to be ok. That's why the end has the woman waking up as he is about to be taken out of life by the Shepard of the damned and is lead out of the darkness into the light.

I'm torn. I enjoy your reactions, and I appreciate the perspective you offer on so many of the songs that I love. However, might I offer an observation? Maybe I'm just feeling overly sensitive today, but it's gotten to the point where all I hear when you're speaking is your 'word whisker', where you seem to punctuate many sentences with a pronounced, "Ummm..." I don't mean to be overly critical or cause any offense. I understand you're offering an instant, "live" reaction to something and might find it difficult to 'word' properly on the fly, but I found it distracting and... that's it, really. I don't really have a solution to offer, as I don't think I've ever tried to shave off a word whisker. I'm sure someone here on YT has made a video or two about it. I'm shutting up now.
