Alter Bridge - Isolation

Song: Isolation
Artist: Alter Bridge
Album: AB III

Alter Bridge is an American rock band from Florida.

The song Isolation is the first single from Alter Bridge's third album. The album AB III was released October 8, 2010. I think the song is about someone isolating themself and causing themself only pain by doing so. I think it's about someone who has been hurt and is feeling very alone. The song is saying you need to let yourself live and love. The song is heavy, hard rock. The music video shows live footage and behind the scenes clips of the band on tour. Myles Kennedy's voice is great. The lyrics are good. The music is good. Great song.

"Isolation"

When all is lost to you inside
When all the darkness takes the light
The ritual it has begun
And now you tear away from everyone
Disconnected so alone yeah
Severed ties from all you know

Isolation Brings you to the end
Until you love again
Isolation If you could only see
What will come to be
Yeah!

Justify you waste away
You dare to dream but still you're too afraid
And now you're broken and deceived
Lost to live this cruel reality
You're disconnected so alone
Severed ties from all you know

Isolation Brings you to the end
Until you love again
Isolation If you could only see
What will come to be
Yeah!

Maybe you'll stand
Maybe you'll give and break to find another way
And make things better
Maybe you'll find
A life you can live and learn to love along the way
And make things better
And make things better

Isolation Brings you to the end
Until you love again
Isolation If you could only see
What will come to be
Yeah!

Isolation Brings you to the end
Until you love again
Isolation If you could only see
What will come to be

You're disconnected so alone
What will come to be?
You're disconnected so alone

Alter Bridge - Rise Today

Song: Rise Today
Artist: Alter Bridge
Album: Blackbird

Alter Bridge is an American rock band from Florida.

Rise Today is the first single from Alter Bridge's second studio album, Blackbird, released in October of 2007. I think the song Rise Today is about looking at the world and questioning all the bad shit that's happening. And saying that you want to change it. Questioning if your enemy is really your enemy, or if things were misunderstood. I think it's also about seeing how messed up humanity is, and asking if we'll ever change, and saying that we need to change. I love the lyric "Seems to me that we've got each other wrong/Was the enemy just your brother all along?" Lead vocalist Myles Kennedy's voice is really good, and very distinctive. The reason I got into Alter Bridge was because I heard Myles Kennedy sing the song Back From Cali on Slash's self titled solo album. I liked his voice and decided to check out Myles' own band. This is a really good song.

"Rise Today"

The wind is blowing cold
Have we lost our way tonight?
Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

Feels like we're all alone
Running further from what's right
And there are no more heroes to follow

So what are we becoming?
Where did we go wrong?

[Chorus:]
Yeah, oh yeah
I want to rise today
And change this world

Yeah, oh yeah
Oh, won't you rise today
And change this world?

The sun is beating down
Are we ever gonna change
Can we stop the blood from running?

Our time is running out
Hope we find a better way
Before we find we're left with nothing

For every life that's taken
So much love is wasted

[Chorus:]
Yeah, oh yeah
I want to rise today
And change this world

Yeah, oh yeah
So won't you rise today
And change

This world
Only love can set it right
This world
If only peace would never die

Seems to me that we've got each other wrong
Was the enemy just your brother all along?

[Chorus:]
Yeah, oh yeah
I want to rise today
And change this world

Yeah, oh yeah
Oh won't you rise today
And change this world?

Yeah, oh yeah
I want to rise today
And change this world

Yeah, oh yeah
I want to rise today
And change this world
