Die Alive
Tarja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Led by just a feeling
All around is light
Everything is healing
No more fate and no more mystery
Even as time falls away
I live my days every moment and its memory,
not only to survive: to die alive
Overwhelming love, heaven´s just a feeling
Singing in my blood keeping me from kneeling
No more fate and no more mystery
Even as time falls away
I live my days every moment and its memory,
not only to survive: to die alive
Die alive
No more fate and no more mystery even as time falls away
I live my days every moment and its memory,
not only to survive: to die alive.
The lyrics of Tarja's "Die Alive" express a message of embracing life to its fullest extent, with no fear of fate or uncertainty. The opening lines of "Open up the night/Led by just a feeling/All around is light/Everything is healing" suggest a sense of liberation and an unspoken direction towards a brighter future.
The choice to "die alive" could mean several things - it could be interpreted as experiencing life so completely that one feels more alive than ever before, or it could suggest that in spite of mortality, one chooses to live with passion and verve rather than merely existing. The lyrics' exhortation to "live my days every moment and its memory, not only to survive" indicates a desire to make the most of every precious second and to create memories that will last.
The second verse suggests that through overwhelming love, the singer feels empowered and uplifted, and that this feeling of inspiration is enough to stop her from "kneeling" - perhaps a reference to feeling downtrodden or powerless. Ultimately, the song's message is one of hope and determination - to seize the day with both hands, to love fearlessly and to embrace the journey of life with open eyes and open hearts.

I used to think that people who said a singer sang like an angel were exaggerating, then I heard Tarja sing. Sing, angel of music.
