Isolation
Alterbridge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When all the darkness takes the light
The ritual warning has begun
And now you tear away from everyone
Disconnected so alone yeah
Severed ties from all you know
Isolation
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 makes things better
Maybe you'll find
A 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
The lyrics of Alterbridge's song Isolation touch upon themes of despair, loneliness, and hope for a better future. It starts by describing a feeling of being lost in darkness and disconnected from the world, as the ritual warning foreshadows a breakdown. The singer is struggling with their inner demons and finding it hard to connect with others. They feel like they are wasting away and unable to pursue their dreams, consumed by fear and deception. The feeling of being isolated and alone is a recurring motif in the lyrics of the song.
The chorus, however, introduces a glimmer of hope as it speaks of a possibility of love and a better future. The singer is advised to hold on and weather the storm, for love is soon to come. The second verse, just like the first, talks about the pain of disconnection and the cruelty of reality. The bridge of the song, however, suggests that maybe things will get better if the singer learns to love and live in a better way.
Overall, the song is about the struggle of finding one's place in the world and connecting with others. It's about the loneliness one feels when isolated from society, and the hope that even broken dreams can be mended by finding love.

Mark Tremonti's guitar work is just otherworldly, mixes so well with Kennedy's vocals. Alter Bridge is just an extremely underrated band that deserves more attention and supporters.

@MsScanova
What's truly amazing is how effortlessly they are. Miles, alone, sings so high without even trying. Everyone else is incredibly talented.

I remember hearing this song on the radio all the time back when i listened to the radio more haha but id agree that pretty much any hard rock or metal band is underrated when you look at the biggest "musicians" of today haha
