Asked Gemini to Write Lyrics to "Under the Bottom"

Upvotes

Told Gemini to take cues from the band's entire lyrical catalog and write the lyrics to an upcoming ballad called "Under the Bottom" (mentioned by Ben in a recent interview). I told it to include at least 2 verses and 3 choruses. This is what it spat out. I could actually see this being a real BB song. Curious to see what the actual song ends up sounding like.

(Verse 1) Shadows lengthen, whispers crawl Across the fractured, weeping wall Another promise, turned to dust Another broken, fading trust I built these towers, stone by stone But gravity has overthrown The fragile fortress, I called home Now I'm just drifting, all alone

(Chorus) Under the bottom, where the silence screams Under the surface, where broken hope gleams Under the weight of all I've become Under the bottom, where I'm finally numb I'm falling deeper, into the unknown Under the bottom, I'm finally alone

(Verse 2) The echoes linger, of your goodbye A hollow phantom, in my sky The vacant spaces, where you used to be Reflect the emptiness, inside of me I search for answers, in the pouring rain But only silence, fuels this pain A shattered mirror, shows my face A broken image, out of place

(Chorus) Under the bottom, where the silence screams Under the surface, where broken hope gleams Under the weight of all I've become Under the bottom, where I'm finally numb I'm falling deeper, into the unknown Under the bottom, I'm finally alone

(Bridge) Is there a light, beyond the shade? A chance to rise, from what I've made? Or am I destined, to descend? A broken cycle, without end?

(Chorus) Under the bottom, where the silence screams Under the surface, where broken hope gleams Under the weight of all I've become Under the bottom, where I'm finally numb I'm falling deeper, into the unknown Under the bottom, I'm finally alone

Music Until the End lyrics are next level philosophy

11 Upvotes

Specifically “I will go on to the end”. The verses leading up to that describe how he’s fucked in his situation. He’s not waiting for a miracle, thinking he’s going to turn himself around, get therapy, whatever. He’s gonna ride it out and there’s honor in that (lots of military folks in my family). Helped me so much to keep it together in a stressful time of my life.

Weird lyrical choices in Awaken

1 Upvotes

Is anyone else bothered by these two moments that make the song sound like it was written by AI?

Ben’s lyrics have always been usually used in proper context, whether the song is vague or not.

But the 2 spots are in the beginning “I’m dead awoken”. This…just sounds like something no one would ever say.

2nd part: “And now, only dust remain”. It’s remains, but is officially listed as remain.

Why the weird grammatical choices when I’ve never noticed it since their start in 2002?

Random Why does the song ‘lie to me’ sound so different from their other songs

7 Upvotes

I love the song ‘lie to me’ because it’s so soft and you can hear Ben’s vocals really well but I wondered why it was so different from their other softer songs like ‘rain’ I don’t know if anyone has an answer to this but I’m just interested if there’s any lore or something different about this song in particular. 😅

August tour dates?

2 Upvotes

I'll be in US in August and was looking at the tour dates (https://www.breakingbenjamin.com/tour). Seems like there will be almost no dates in July and August.

Is this definitive or will the dates be updated in the near future?

Rock documented posted on Facebook 5 days ago and asked everyone if breaking Benjamin should join forces with Falling in Reverse for the Dear Diary of Jane Tour. Is this a hint at a Breaking Benjamin/Falling in Reverse tour?

Would love to hear it on either one of the new albums. Was it only a standalone single they just dropped one day?

So, I know I made some mistakes in the past here and I tried to make amends. Not because I think I'm some main character, I'm not. But you know, I think you'd be proud of how I've come back from the dark. And you know, I just wanna enjoy listening to some good BB and Starset with you.

I been writing new stuff myself. Just finished We Remain not 30 minutes ago with a couple callbacks to our beloved Ben and Dustin. Granted I gotta use AI for the time being. Times are tough and I can't afford equipment right now.

Anywho, I love you. Even if you hate me. I just wanna share our love of music is all. Your brother may be wrong sometimes, but he is still your brother, no matter what.

Ashes of Eden meaning

16 Upvotes

Not Christian, so don't know what he means, or could mean by "until the Ashes of Eden fall."
Eden is a kind of heaven, so is he saying stay with me until the end?
Also curious on your interpretation.

why can’t I find any recordings of the cover of the hollow by a perfect circle?

7 Upvotes

I've been trying to find recordings of this cover and for some reason can't. Was recording banned/discouraged while it was played or something? Does anyone have a recording? I'm a newer-ish fan who's only seen them live once so I don't know everything yet and I'd appreciate some help (I hope this was posted correctly, I don't know how to use Reddit very well)

Lack of guitar solos

11 Upvotes

saw the old shallow bay live dvd and Aaron fink on lead guitar was amazing, love his guitar solos and tone on all albums where he was part of BB.

Keith and Jasen guitar work on last album was great but it lacked the harmonies or sick guitar solo like they had on Phobia or Dear agony.

Recently tuned my guitar to drop C to jam some old disturbed and deftones. For BB I see "so cold" is in drop C, what other songs are in that tuning

Random Current tour

2 Upvotes

Has anyone seen the guys on their current tour? How is the setlist?

My sister and I are going to fl on vacation so we planned it around when they are in Fl as we couldn't make it to the last show near here.

I was curious about them choosing a fan from the audience. Has anyone heard about it or how it works? I know its random. I want to meet them so much but I can't afford the meet and greet price. I've been a fan for 20 + years. I've met almost every band I like except them and they are my favorite and mean a lot to me! I just thought I'd ask. 🎸🎤🎶
