Still Alive
Aisles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A tired soul, I’m feeling down
Aware that I’m still around
I’ve always known, I‘ve always felt
I cherish what people don’t
I’m walking out to clear my thoughts
To feel that I’m still alive
It presses down, it hurts so bad
Drowning me, these days I’ve been failing life

I found a note, mysterious words
It read, ‘Are you still alive?’
A message came, encrypted map
They must know I’m still alive
But I feel down, I feel lost
I know I’ve strayed, I feel like a wasted life

From every thought, from every flaw
Aware that I’m still alive
I wake at dusk I walk till dawn
I’ll sing while I’m still alive
And in the dark, the saddened eyes, the pain the fear
This world is no place to smile

They swallow lies, obedient mobs
We left the world in their hands
But a secret group is planning now
The escape that’ll save our kind
I think they are beyond those hills, below that star
If the guide that I hold is right
I need to know where you are, where you’ll go
You thought I deserved to go

You’re in the sky, propelled by fire
Until no force can drag you down
Life here dies
You’ll leave this sun and find a star
You’ll build a world dreamed in your hearts
Far from here
Above the pain you fly so high
You can’t deny that I’m alive
Left down here
You don’t need love to survive
You can’t deny I was a child
Once loved, free
You’re in the sky, I had my chance
You can’t deny that I’m alive




You left us here and that’s just fine
Build a new world with your hearts

Overall Meaning

The first paragraph of the lyrics sets the tone for the song, expressing a feeling of weariness and sadness. The singer acknowledges their presence in the world, but also senses that they possess a deeper understanding and appreciation for things that others may overlook or take for granted. They decide to take a walk in order to clear their thoughts and reconnect with the feeling of being alive. However, the weight of life's challenges and failures has been suffocating them lately.


In the second paragraph, the lyrics introduce a note that the singer finds, containing cryptic words that inquire about their survival. This message sparks curiosity and gives them a sense of being recognized or remembered by someone. Despite the glimmer of hope, the singer still feels lost and disconnected from their purpose. They recognize their own flaws and sense that they have wasted their life in some way.


The third paragraph continues the theme of self-awareness, as the singer embraces their consciousness and existence. They describe their routine of waking up in the evening, walking until sunrise, and singing as a way to affirm their own presence in the world. However, they acknowledge the sadness and pain that surround them, recognizing that the world can be an unfriendly and unwelcoming place.


The final paragraph takes on a more optimistic tone. It references a secret group that is planning an escape to save their own kind, implying a desire for a better world. The singer believes they are close to finding this group, guided by a map or instructions they possess. They express a longing to know where this group is and where they are headed, indicating a desire to join and be a part of this hopeful future. Meanwhile, the singer describes the person they are addressing as rising above the troubles of life and building a new world with their hearts, leaving behind those who are left behind. The lyrics convey a sense of acceptance and resignation, recognizing that the person addressed has moved on and that they are left to build a new world on their own.
