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.

Unknown Soldier Lyrics
Breaking Benjamin
Borderline, dead inside.
I don't mind, falling to pieces.
Coming in, violin, let's begin.
Feeding the sickness.
How do I simplify, dislocate, the enemy is on the way.
[Chorus]
Show me what it's like to dream in black and white, so I can leave this world tonight.
Full of fear, everclear. I'll be here, fighting forever. Curious, venemous, you'll find me climbing to
heaven. Nevermind, turn back time. You'll be fine, I will get left behind.
[Chorus]
Show me what it's like to dream in black and white, so I can leave this world tonight.
[Chorus]
Hold me, I'm to tight. Breathe the breath of life, so I can leave this world behind.
It only hurts just once. They're only broken bones. Hide the hate inside.
[Chorus]
Show me what it's like to dream in black and white, so I can leave this world tonight.
[Chorus]
Hold me, I'm to tight. Breathe the breath of life, so I can leave this world behind.
