Almost There
Alpha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Almost there

It's really good
That we struggle
Really struggle
That something

Think about it
Take your time
Doesn't matter
Not a crime

Almost there

There I was
Flesh and bone
Only human

Lost from home
Lost from home

Happy ending
Right this way
Take the journey
Round again

Steal another
Glance a kid
Almost there
Round again

Think about it
Take your time
Doesn't matter
Not a crime

Couldn't happen
Not this possible
Take your time

Who could be
Take the journey
Find a way
In a hurry

Who's the fool
Could lose it all
Took a chance
Broke the pact
Lost my way
Then did again
Who could be
Someone like me
Caught my breath
Then died the dead




Who could be
Someone like me

The repeated phrase "almost there" serves as a reminder that despite these difficulties, one should keep pushing forward towards their goals, even if success seems just out of reach. The lyrics suggest that through struggle and perseverance, one can ultimately achieve their desired outcome.


The lines "It's really good, that we struggle / Really struggle, that something" encapsulate this sentiment. The struggle is acknowledged as necessary and valuable, something that ultimately leads to growth and success. This theme is echoed in the chorus with lines like "Think about it, take your time / Doesn't matter, not a crime / Almost there".
