Alter Bridge - Ties That Bind Lyrics






I tear on the leash
That keeps me contained and controlled
Let me go
I want to break free
And fight my way out of this hole

[Chorus]
One last hope
To rise and break away
Above the faded line
Way beyond the ties that bind

This I know
The risk is worth the gain
It's worth the sacrifice
Way beyond the ties that bind

I run but the chains
Pull me right back to the floor
You control
I rattle the cage
I won't be your slave anymore

[Chorus]

You broke me into pieces
Don't tell me what to be
Damn you all I'm gonna find my way

[Chorus]

  14. P.... O....

    Check out my cover of Ties That Bind! https://youtu.be/o9mWA-NcllE

  15. s.... b....

    Song is so fucking amazing still listeing in 2018

    s.... b....

    Absolutely

  16. D.... P....

    It’s like 3 Days Grace only better Instrumentally

  17. M.... W....

    Masterpiece. Fuckin ear-gasmic. "Cry Of Achilles". "Isolation. Love it all.
    Metallica and Alter Bridge are my favourite bands.

  18. T.... ....

    Miles is such a talented vocalist.

  19. K.... W....

    ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!

  20. F.... 7....

    I love the ending guitar solo!

  21. G.... A....

    That solo is probably the best solo ever regardless of how short it is

    G.... A....

    It's not, the rest of the song is better than the solo imho

  22. G.... �....

  24. K.... K....

    such poor quality though

  25. R.... R....

    came here after the bad live performances xD

    R.... R....

    they were bad :O?

    R.... R....

    @Sjard Willems v not totally bad, but at least in this song, they are somehow disappointing xD

    R.... R....

    It's cause it's probably insanely hard to do vocals with range like this song while he's playing a guitar too. The fact he can sing at all and play at the sane time amazes me. But yeah the vocals sound different, maybe rushed, when they play this live. In the studio they multitrack it so he can sing over the music with full attention and not have to play at the same time. That's my guess anyway. Those are some hard notes to hit under any circumstances

  27. n.... 4....

    you bich

    n.... 4....

    nazo 420 holy shit you like noble to.

  28. S.... ....

    Is that wailing at the beginning and at 1:50 an instrument, or Myles voice?

    S.... ....

    +Sociobid I'm not sure which bit you mean as the wailing, but there are quiet vocals in the background, almost like a choir, and more in the foreground is a guitar tremolo picking.

    S.... ....

    +AirCommando12 The choir is what I meant, that's interesting

    S.... ....

    I'm pretty sure it's a few tracks of Myles's voice layered over each other with a ton of reverb

    S.... ....

    And yeah at 1:50 there is tremolo picking layered over it.

    S.... ....

    Background vocals

  29. T.... N....

    the choruses is pretty much longer than the verses

    T.... N....

    not a bad thing lol

  30. D.... ....

    loving it

  31. Y.... ....

    Red super

  32. v.... ....

    Guitar Hero brought me here and I now love it.

    v.... ....

    same dude, WOR made me a metalhead

    v.... ....

    same bro i play the shit outa gh, i play all of them gh3 gh world tour gh metallica gh wor gh van halen gh5 name it i got it. i also have rock band green day and the Beatles.

  33. E.... N....

    faheema bc

    - via YtPak(.com)

  34. Z.... ....

    This song is structured very strangely but I like it. Myles is an insanely good vocalist. I'm not theory expert but he seems like he is always in the perfect key.

    Z.... ....

    I believe they call that a "bridge" don't quote me on it though. Look up AABA music format. It's a very common way to compose music because psychologically your expecting the A part to come again but something new and surprising comes instead, and then the A part that sticks in your head comes again before the outro.

    Z.... ....

    That was my guess too. Thank you for your reply!

    Z.... ....

    myles is incredible! he has so much control of his voice, just great!

    Z.... ....

    There is this magical thing called "pitch correction". It's such a dirty word if you ask elitist asshole musicians, but sometimes it's necessary. Just a thought.

    Z.... ....

    the song is really nice and i like it, but the structure is intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus, solo, outro, nothing special about it (but it doesn't need to be special to be good)

  35. A.... B....

    De la ptmr jamás me canso de escuchar esta canción lml . . . de la ptmmm =D

  36. N.... O....

    i just learned from this song/band tonight. i love this song so i will check out more of their stuff. any in particular i should? awesome band :D

    N.... O....

    All of Blackbird and Fortress and who am I kidding. Listen to it all

    N.... O....

    N.... O....

    N.... O....

    maxpax 115 creed?

    N.... O....

    @simone R Probably, because the members came from there.

  40. S.... J....

    Meh, they could have added more lyrics to the song but other than that, AMAZING SONG!!! :D

    S.... J....

    I dislike lyrics in songs tbh

    S.... J....

    @Austin Saltzman How come?

    S.... J....

    Just not something I enjoy. Its sometimes cool. I listen to alllooot of edm and classical so that explains a little.

    S.... J....

    @DivineRockStar101 don't mind them usually, but I also wouldn't care if they weren't there

  41. W.... S....

    love it men ù_ç

  42. A.... S....

  44. J.... W....

    Hell yeah! This song rocks!

  45. T.... ....

  48. p.... ....

  49. R.... P....

    Best guitar hero ever made too!

  50. S.... l....

  51. C.... W....

  52. G.... T....

    YESSSSSSSSSs

  53. N.... ....

    hm.. okay then..

  54. C.... /....

    accidentally disliked

  56. C.... /....

    Darn it I disliked it but awesome song

  57. A.... B....

    One of my all time favourite songs!

  58. T.... ....

    RIP Guitar Hero

  59. D.... ....

    One day I will fuck to this song, no matter how unfitting it is

    D.... ....

    It would be fitting if you are into bondage.

    D.... ....

    Freezepond That comment was posted four years ago.

    D.... ....

    Any luck XD

  60. t.... o....

    bom bom bom cara que loco muito bom

  61. K.... ....

    i love this song!

  62. S.... ....

    I disagree, I've sided with people before

  63. Y.... ....

    You should never try to side with people, because in the end, you'll side with nobody.

  64. j.... s....

    watching Myles Kennedy on Slash: Made in Stoke brought me here. I was NOT disappointed.

  65. M.... ....

    same! :D

  66. S.... ....

    lol people always just like to hate like that, if you go to a rap video of old school hip hop in the comment section if you say "lil wayne brought me hear" then people will say "STFU UR A CHILD GO BACK TO LIL WAYNE THIS IS FOR REAL G's ONLY" and these same people will make comments like "Man why are people listening to lil wayne when 2pac is so much better"

    its just the fucked up way people think now days, it sucks how unavoidable it is to get hated on, even when you try to side with people.

  67. L.... T....

    Sorry, Guitar Hero actually showed me that these guys can actually rock.

  68. o.... ....

    what is the problem that fans have with other people hearing a track on guitar hero.. surely its a good thing that a band is establishing new fans?

  69. o.... ....

    i dont think he is trying to be funny hahaha

  70. W.... O....

    D.... ....

    D.... ....

    I wonder how many bands got more attention becuase of guitar hero lol

    D.... ....
