Still Alive
!Lisa Miskovsky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like you, just like you
For how long, for how long must I wait?
I know there's something wrong
Your concrete heart isn't beating
And I've tried to make it come alive
No shadows, just red lights
Now I'm here to rescue you
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
So silent, no violence
But inside my head so loud and clear
You're screaming, you're screaming
Covered up with a smile I've learned to fear
Just sunshine and blue sky
Is this is all we get for living here?
Come fire, come fire
Let it burn and love come racing through
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
I've learned to lose, I've learned to win
I turn my face against the wind
I will move fast, I will move slow
Take me where I have to go
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
I'm still alive
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
In Lisa Miskovsky's song "Still Alive", she sings about the changes she has gone through and the changes that the person she is addressing in the song has gone through as well. She asks how long she must wait until something changes, indicating that there is something wrong with their relationship. The person's "concrete heart" is not beating, meaning they are not showing any emotions. Lisa has tried to make this person come alive, but she is met with no response. She is now there to rescue them from their state.
The chorus of the song reiterates that Lisa is still alive, and she cannot apologize for it. Her presence and her desires cannot be ignored. She then sings about the internal struggle she is going through, where everything around her appears to be peaceful and happy, but inside her head, it is chaotic and suffocating. There is something that she is afraid of and has learned to fear, which is represented by the person's smile.
Despite all of this, Lisa is looking to find love and passion, and for that to burn like fire inside of her. She is determined to keep going, to move fast or slow and go wherever she needs to go. The repetition of the chorus reinforces her unwavering spirit and her refusal to apologize for still being alive and still having the hope for happiness.
Overall, "Still Alive" is a powerful song that addresses the complexities of emotions and relationships. It speaks to the struggles of trying to connect with someone who seems unresponsive and the internal battles we face when everything appears to be perfect on the surface. It is a message of hope and resilience, reminding us that we should never apologize for being ourselves and fighting for what we believe in.

I don't know why I find the 2006-2009 futuristic aesthetic so nostalgic. Something about it is just so comforting while also still feeling fresh.
@Rob-nv7ew
I think the game hit everyone hard because it feels so lonely but at the same time you feel a connection with the city. There's something beautiful about feeling an understanding with the world around you without having to have a human connection there beside you
@septiancahya
I know the answer, because in that time there is hope for a greener future yet we want a better next gen tehcnology, combine it then you will get a "futriger aero" aesthetic, google it and you will find for what you looking for
