“Metalingus” is a song about having a dream or life in general, come crashing down. And after seeing clearly, that it’s not so bad, you are able to pick yourself up, dust off any bad memories from the past and get on with your life. It is one of Alter Bridge’s most popular songs.

[Verse 1]
I've been defeated and brought down
Oh, dropped to my knees when hope ran out
Oh, the time has come to change my ways
[Chorus]

A bitter place and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all, leave it all behind
Yeah
[Verse 2]
I'll never long for what might have been

Oh, I won't look back, I'll fight to remain
[Chorus]
On this day, I see clearly
Everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all behind
On this day, it's so real to me
Everything has come to life
'Nother chance to chase a dream

All I could be
Lift these sorrows

[Chorus]
On this day, I see clearly
Everything has come to life
A bitter place and a broken dream
And we'll leave it all behind
On this day, it's so real to me
Everything has come to life
'Nother chance to chase a dream
'Nother chance to feel
Chance to feel alive
