Come Alive
Against the Current Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't want nobody to come rescue me
No direction in mind
I'm just killing time
I gave my body to the riptide
Maybe it will put me back to sleep
It was the last thing I had
Now I can't get it back
There's a war inside my mind
But I'm the only one who fights
And I get lost here every night
I'm just trying to survive
I want to come alive, come alive
Tell myself that it's alright
Come alive, come alive
Yeah, I'm tired but I gotta fight
I want to come alive, come alive
No more sleepwalking through life
Come alive, come alive
Yeah, I'm tired but I gotta fight
Still a slave to my emotions
Yeah, they always get the best of me
I'm tired of feeling like shit
But I'm too numb to quit it
There's a war inside my mind
But I'm the only one who fights
And I get lost here every night
I'm just trying to survive
I want to come alive, come alive
Tell myself that it's alright
Come alive, come alive
Yeah, I'm tired but I gotta fight
I want to come alive, come alive
No more sleepwalking through life
Come alive, come alive
Yeah, I'm tired but I gotta fight
(I'm just trying to survive)
I'm alright but that's a lie
I'm not alright, I'm not alright
I want to come alive, come alive
Tell myself that it's alright
Come alive, come alive
Yeah, I'm tired but I gotta fight
I want to come alive, come alive
No more sleepwalking through life
Come alive, come alive
Yeah, I'm tired but I gotta fight
(Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive)
Yeah I'm tired but I gotta fight
The song 'Come Alive' by Against the Current reflects the struggles of mental health and the internal battles one goes through while trying to put up a facade of being okay. The opening lines "I've been floating on a dark wave, Don't want nobody to come rescue me" paints a picture of a person lost in their own thoughts and wanting to deal with their issues alone. The line "Still a slave to my emotions" represents how the singer has surrendered to their emotions and can't control them anymore. The chorus talks about the desire to come back to life and fight the demons that are holding them back. The line "No more sleepwalking through life" speaks to the frustration of feeling like one is just going through the motions in life without any real purpose. The song encourages listeners to keep fighting and to remain hopeful.

i started following this band back when they used to make covers of popular songs and now they're making their own songs, releasing their own albums, selling out their own venues with their own fans. If this isn't an inspiration for anyone to fight for their dreams I don't know what is.
