Stay Alive
Smile Empty Soul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When nothing you say is heard
and nobody cares if you hurt
I know how it seems, hear nothing but screams
But take it from me it's not the end

When all that you try goes wrong
Heard nothing but lies for so long
I know how it seems, it's hard to believe
But take it from me it's not the end

Stuck keep moving stuck

Don't let it die
Stay alive, stay alive
Because it's almost over now
Stay alive, stay alive
For better days to come around

When nothing is right in your head
And all of your tears are shed
I know how it seems, you're in this too deep
But take it from me it's not the end

Stuck keep moving stuck

Don't let it die
Stay alive, stay alive
Because it's almost over now
Stay alive, stay alive
For better days to come around

Screaming, needing, something that's not misleading
Try and, get bye and, keep all my wounds from bleeding

Stay alive, stay alive
Because it's almost over now
Stay alive, stay alive
For better days to come around

On 2:35 when he sings "stay alive" is so beautiful. He sounds like he is so desperate for you to feel better, like he feels hopeless and can't do anything.

it's just breath taking-
