Slip To The Void Lyrics

Slip to the void
To the dark
To the fall
Crawl to the life you shouldn't know
You should never come this way
To test the hands of fate
You don't belong here

Peel back the skin
Close your eyes
Hell is born
To the abyss, but be warned
You fear what you've become
My God what have you done?
You don't belong here

But it's all in the way
You touch and you will pay
Denial

But it's all in the way
You touch and you will pay
Denial

Sever the ties
Trip the wire
Take your hold
Doubt is alive and you know
You were once led to believe
You were young and so naive
And now no longer
But it's all in the way
You turn your back today

Left to face this alone
Left to die with nothing you can own
Left to break in the cold
In the void that you made
The moment you let love go

Try win back your days
You let them all escape your heart
Now that you've come so far
Why did you have to fall so hard?
Look at what you've done
What have you become?

Left to face this alone
Left to die with nothing you can own
Left to break in the cold
In the void that you made
The moment you let love go
You let love go
You let love go
You let love go

I think this song is about someone who has let their life go to ruin.

My Interpretation
Cover art for Slip To The Void lyrics by Alter Bridge

The first four songs on ABIII seem to deal with love and closing yourself off. I'm guessing

My Opinion

I would most definitely have to agree.
Slip to the Void has an almost angry vibe to it. Anger at someone who has hurt you?
Isolation furthers that and adds a sense of hope that things can change, particularly during that bridge after the guitar solo. Ghost of Days Gone By seems to be somewhere down the line with an individual looking back on the good times and wishing to revisit them.
And All Hope is Gone is the realization that that can never happen.

Just my two cents. Neat little concept if that's all true.

Simply Perfect

^ Amen!... this song is killer when played live, the most progressive song Alter Bridge have done period.

Cover art for Slip To The Void lyrics by Alter Bridge

Slip to the void To the dark To the fall Crawl to the life you shouldn't know

You should never come this way To test the hands of fate You don't belong here

Peel back the skin Close your eyes Hell is born To the abyss but be warned

You fear what you'll become My god what have you done? You don't belong here

But it's all in the way You touch and you obey Denial

But it's all in the way You touch and you obey Denial

Sever the ties Trip the wire Dig your hole Doubt is alive and you know

You were once led to believe You were yound and so naive But now no longer

But it's all in the way You turned your back today

Left to face this alone Left to die with nothing you can hold

Left to break in the cold In the void that you made The moment you let love go

Try to win back your days You let them all escape you heart

Now that you've come so far Why did you have to fall so hard?

Look at what you've done What have you become?

Left to face this alone Left to die with nothing you can hold

Left to break in the cold In the void that you made The moment you let love go

You let love go You let love go You let love go

Lyric Correction
Cover art for Slip To The Void lyrics by Alter Bridge

Slip to the void; to the dark; to the fall, Crawl to the life you should've known You should never come this way to test the hands of fate You don't belong here

Peel back the skin; close your eyes; Hell is borne to the abyss, but be warned: You fear what you've become... my god, what have you done? You don't belong here

But it's all in the way you touch, and you obey, denial...

Sever the ties; trip the wire; dig your hole, Doubt is alive, and you know: You were once led to believe - you were young, and so naive But now no longer

But it's all in the way you turned your back today

Left to face this alone, left to die with nothing you can hold Left to break in the cold, in the void that you made the moment you let love go

Try to win back your days, you let them all escape your heart Now that you've come so far, why did you have to fall so hard? Look at what you've done, what have you become?

Alter Bridge's masterpiece
