Wow. Your just geniuses aren't you? You can take super general songs and fit them to your own meaning? Amazing.

Give me a break.

I didn't get that anyone was saying ODR was about Stapp, though I've read that Alter Bridge has actually admitted it about some songs. I think the poster was saying that Alter Bridge made everything negative about Creed about Stapp. Hell they have been talking smack about the guy for over a year now. Not a real good way to promote yourself. When every interview they do, they talk negatively about an ex-member, then they ARE making it all about Stapp. Though they never seem to remember that their collaboration with Stapp made them rich men.

Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
life is but a dream.

I'm thinking this song was written about how Stapp was in the rowboat in the My Sacrifice video and how he was gliding through the water and he was happy and his life was dreamy.

For heaven's sake, any lyrics to any song can be taken to mean any freaking thing!!! Stop trying to fuel the us vs. them argument, it's so old.

Haha, I think you should just started listen to Alter Bridge as Alter Bridge. And by saying that I mean that you should listen to Alter Bridge like any other band, and not trying to search for hidden "hating-Stapp"-messanges. I think Mark and Myles are just trying to tell a story here, and I'm sure they don't wanna stab Stapp in the back. Well, Myles really has no reason to.

I really wouldn't care to know the meaning behind any Alter Bridge song. Like I said, they don't have a message as far as I'm concerned, so I don't listen to them AS anything.

LOL, right on!

LOL @ Teri!!!

Dude... Mark had the chorus for Find The Real... he showed it up to Myles one night and on the next morning Myles had finished writing it! He did all of the verses and the bridge. How can be Myles talking about Stapp???

as for "crown of thorns", correct me if I'm wrong but it's just an expression... Myles grew up in church, I'm sure he heard it a ton of times.

I can get those 10 songs and make them related to Alter Bridge as well... You'll get the idea but I won't bother to do it right now...

Really? That is so funny. I have always said that FTR's verses are the best lyrics on the album, and the chorus is one of the worst on the album... lol

I love FTR's verses. Very lyrically good, as well as musicially. The chorus is decent, but the verses/bridge are certainly a whole lot better, imo.

Just goes to show Myles work ethic not alot compared to stapp..

^That is the most backwards thing I have heard in a LONG time. Bad work ethic=not finishing the song for three months.

Good work ethic=finishing it over night. ESPECIALLY considering it completely blows out of the water ANYTHING Stapp EVER wrote.

Teri you are a star.

The lyrics are so bad, like a little kid wrote them.

are you sure you meant it? coz it makes no sense... it's like comparing apples to oranges...

and yet, what part of "it has nothing to do with Stapp" you didn't understand?

First of all!! GOOD JOB TERI!!! :D

What do you care about then? I'm sorry to bring this up, but you are one hell of a boring person to have an argument with since you only say: "I honestly don't care what you think" or "I don't care to know the meanings behind any songs". In the theard where Marcos, (Bridge of Clay), made the joke about you being a grandpa you must have used the phrase "I don't care" a million times! Do you care about anything besides from yourself?

If you start listening to the songs with the thought in the back of your head that they don't have any messanges I'm sure you won't find many. And also... If you don't listen to them, how can you be so sure they don't have any?

Yeah, that's easy!
