Come To Life Lyrics -- my interpretation

[Creed7352]

here is my interpretation of the lyrics for "come to life" if you disagree with any of it...post. most people on abb.net agree with what i have here so far..

Quote:

Come To Life

I say hey throw away the veil of weakness
And I mean no life beneath us and they will be shamed
I say hey I won’t be held down any longer
By your disgrace or your dishonor you’re to blame

There’s nothing we should have to fear
It’s alright we’ve come to life
I’ll never shed another tear
It’s alright we’ve come to life

I say hey every fool with an opinion
But our group is so resilient I will not break
I say hey I am not your new messiah
And I will not take you higher I'm not ashamed

There’s nothing we should have to fear
It’s alright we’ve come to life
I’ll never shed another tear
It’s alright we’ve come to life

Wicked tongues can speak
And rewrite history
But you can’t keep the truth contained
Like the song was sung
They’ll realize we’re one
And don’t forget we’re here to stay

<SOLO>

There’s nothing we should have to fear
It’s alright we’ve come to life
I’ll never shed another tear
It’s alright we’ve come to life

oh, after hearing/reading these lyrics, i've come to the conclusion that it's a jab at windup and those that want alter bridge to fail so creed can get back together...i love it!! lyrically, this is my favorite new one...though i don't know the words for bitch slap yet...lol

i love the reference to OYE, "Like the song was sung They’ll realize we’re one And don’t forget we’re here to stay"

[titan9]

Good lyrics, and I definitely think it's a jab at WU....a jab well-deserved, if you ask me.

hey thanks mate for doing the needfull....................

[Robin101]

I'm a big AB fan but I don't consider them to be great lyrics. Can't wait to hear the solo though.

[The Lithium]

Is it just me or have AB taken a little step back lyrically?

[Creed7352]

well you're judging one song out of 25 that they have that they want to go through for the new album...also, these are not final versions of these songs and things could change...

buried alive lyrics changed quite a bit from the show they played in florida to pinkpop...

Honestly, I think these lyrics are better than many of the songs on ODR. As I've said before, I was not impressed with many of ODR's lyrics. I definitely don't see these lyrics as a step back. Just my opinion, of course.

[Ana4Stapp]

None of ODR's lyrics come close to MF4 .... but this is 'decent'...and who wrote it: Myles or Mark?

[The Lithium]

Actually, reading the lyrics again I really liked them. But I think some final changes should be made before the album release.

And I've heard that Myles is handeling most of the lyrical work now, is that correct?

[Prog]

I've never been impressed by Alter Bridge lyrics, so these new songs are just what I expected lyrically, or maybe a tad worse.

[Bridge of Clay]

this is Myles work. And they're still working on the songs, this is just a draft. Lyrics may change.

I really like this song! And it's a jab at Wind-Up!

Come To Life is my fav so far! (of all 3 we know!)
