Formed in 1998 under the moniker Plan 9, the band quickly garnered a local following before changing their name to Breaking Benjamin(a name which resulted from a gig gone wrong said Benjamin Burnleyin an interview) in late 2000 and signing to Hollywood Records, where they released their first major-label record, Saturate, in 2002. The record had clear influences and touches of Tool, KoЯn, and Nirvana. The first single Polyamorousreceived much radio airplay, and propelled the band to stardom. Ben Burnley says that he taught himself the guitar by listening to Nirvana's Nevermind. He also explained in an on-air radio interview of the band (Tucson, AZ station KFMA) that he's written most songs at least half-drunk, with one exception.

Blow Me Away Lyrics
Breaking Benjamin
They fall in line
One at a time
Ready to play
I cant see them anyway
No time to lose
Weve got to move
Steady and held
I am losing sight again
Fire your guns
Its time to run
Blow me away
I will stay unless I'm made
After the fall
Well shake it off
Show me the way
Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven when we die
I am a shadow on the wall
Ill be the one to save us all
Theres nothing left
So save your breath
Lying in wait
Caught inside this tidal wave
Youre covers blown
No where to go
Holding your fate
Loaded I will walk alone
Fire your guns
Its time to run
Blow me away
I will stay unless I may
After the fall
Well shake it off
Show me the way
Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven when we die
I am a shadow on the wall
Ill be the one to save us all
You wanted it back
(come bring me back)
Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven when we die
I am a shadow on the wall
Ill be the one to save us all
Save us all
