| Alter Bridge – Lover Lyrics | 9 years ago |

This is one of the songs AB direct to a generic friend who is messing with his life. More specifically, he's playing around with some girls (or boy if it's a girl they're talking to). By doing so, he's denying that he's hurting her. This is true for the first three lines. Than, it's the friend who is speaking. He says "The truth exposed to love is devoured" meaning that he was never into that girl so much, even if he made her his lover; he has another relationship, but the current situation is compromising his mental healthness: "order is broken". He also says that he is "Lost in the moment, what went wrong?" and ignites positivity with "I'm holding on" The lines "Did you have to tear my world apart?" mean that this friend was behaving as if betraying and acting carelessly to his lover was the right thing to do, and "shoved it in the face" of AB who are talking to him. "Did you have to fall so very hard?" closes that same part with AB asking him if he had to behave so bad in the end, only to find himself trapped in the ivory tower which is now going down. I think this is an intimate and powerful message and one of the deepest songs by AB. I also guess DragonDude interpretation is educated, but I think the song digs deeper into relationships and life as a whole. |
