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.

Firefly Lyrics
Breaking Benjamin
you my friend
you're a lot like them
but i cut your line
and you know i did
now i'm lost in you
like i always do
and i'd die to win
cause i'm born to lose
chorus:
firefly
could you shine your light?
now i know your ways
cause they're just like mine
now i'm justified
as i fall in line
and it's hard to try
when you're open wide
take my hand
we'll be off and then
we'll come back again
to a different land
now i like this way
you can go away
if you guess the name
you cannot replace
chorus
bring me your enemies
lay them before me
and walk away
walk away
walk away
chorus
modified chorus:
fuck you firefly
have you lost your light?
now i hate your ways
cause they're just like mine
so you've lost my friend
such a sorry end
and i don't know why
so i choke and smile
