After leaving in October 2003 during the European tour, he moved on to a solo project and began producing songs for other artists. The list includes Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson, Lindsay Lohan, Bo Bice, Godhead, 3Faced, Daughtry and Celine Dion. He has also been producing, writing and touring with singer-songwriter Hana Pestle.

Ben has released songs on both The Punisher and Fantastic Four soundtracks (the former also features fellow Evanescence co-founder, Amy Lee performing with Seether).

On Tuesday December 16, 2008 he released his Mutiny Bootleg EP, which came free with a copy of Hana Pestle's EP that night. Moody is quoted as saying "there’s a duet between Hana and I on there that won't be on the record and won’t be released anywhere ever again. It’s free because I want this sh*t spread everywhere, so be sure that all your friends share the four songs with as many people as possible!" The EP is therefore available for free download from http://drop.io/benmoodymutinybootlegep.

His debut solo album, All For This, featuring Hana Pestle on backing vocals, has been in the works since 2005 and was released June 9, 2009 on iTunes, Amazon MP3 and Amie Street via his own record label. The physical release is forthcoming.

We Are The Fallen, featuring Ben Moody, John LeCompt and Rocky Gray (all formerly of Evanescence), along with Carly Smithson and Marty O'Brien, debuted on June 22, 2009 with the song "Bury Me Alive."

Too Far Left to Go
Ben Moody Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lost count of the days
We were strong
That's just me now
Fight trough the haze
Night comes fast
The pain can last much longer
Have I lost my way?
Or have I been

At last forgotten?
All I see is gray
Is this land
As dead as I am?

I'm so cold
Now that fear has taken hold
And I'm just too far left to go

Should I pray to die?
Or are the words
As pointless as the fight?
Can I see tonight?
The stains of guilt
Fade like blood in time
I'm mercyful
But there's no heaven
For us my friend

And I'm so cold
Now that fear has taken hold
And I'm just too far left to go

And I feel nothing for
Those who fall by my hand
Beneath the skin
A broken man and nothing more

I'm so cold
Now that fear has taken hold
And I'm just too far left...

I'm so cold
Now that fear has taken hold
And I'm just too far left to go

Ooh...

Yes I'm just too far left to go

(And I'm just too far left to go)
(Yes I'm just too far left to go)

(And I'm just too far left to go)
(Yes I'm just too far left to go)

The song concludes with the lines, "And I feel nothing for, Those who fall by my hand, Beneath the skin, A broken man and nothing more," which suggests that the singer has lost faith in their ability to be a good person.

Line by Line Meaning

Lost count of the days
I have lost track of how many days have passed

We were strong
We used to be strong

That's just me now
I am alone now

Fight through the haze
I need to keep fighting despite confusion

Night comes fast
Time passes quickly

The pain can last much longer
The suffering may continue for a long period of time

Have I lost my way?
Am I lost?

Or have I been/At last forgotten?
Have I been abandoned and forgotten?

All I see is gray
Everything looks bleak and uninviting

Is this land/As dead as I am?
Is this place devoid of life like me?

I'm so cold/Now that fear has taken hold
I am scared and feel numb from the coldness of my surroundings
