Still Alive
Aviators & P1K Lyrics

This was a triumph
We succeeded in a major way

I'm making a note here, huge success
I acknowledge the great success and want to document it

It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
I am extremely satisfied and happy with what we've achieved

Aperture Science
The name of our company

We do what we must because we can
We do what needs to be done because we are capable of doing it

For the good of all of us
Our actions are intended to benefit everyone

Except the ones who are dead
The benefits of our actions do not apply to those who are no longer alive

But there's no sense crying over every mistake
It's not useful to become upset about every mistake

You just keep on trying 'til you run out of cake
Keep trying until there is no more cake left

And the science gets done
We are able to complete our scientific work

And you make a neat gun
We create a neat and effective tool

For the people who are still alive
The tool is intended to benefit those who are still living

I'm not even angry
Despite feeling hurt, I am not angry

I'm being so sincere right now
I am speaking genuinely

Even though you broke my heart and killed me
Even though you hurt me deeply

And tore me to pieces
You destroyed me emotionally

And threw every piece into a fire
You got rid of any remains of me

As they burned it hurt because
Seeing myself disappear was painful

I was so happy for you
Despite my personal pain, I was happy for your success

Now these points of data make a beautiful line
It is satisfying to see data come together and form a coherent picture

And we're out of beta, we're releasing on time
We are done testing and will release on schedule

So I'm glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned
I am grateful for the lessons learned from the challenges we faced

For the people who are still alive
The benefits of our work are for those who are alive

Go ahead and leave me
You can go if you need to

I think I prefer to stay inside
I would rather stay inside and do my work

Maybe you'll find someone else to help you
Perhaps someone else can assist with your needs

Maybe Black Mesa
A suggestion that Black Mesa can help instead

That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance
A sarcastic comment to downplay the idea of Black Mesa helping

Anyway this cake is great
The cake we have is enjoyable

It's so delicious and moist
The cake is not only tasty but also moist

Look at me still talking when there's science to do
I should be focusing on my scientific work instead of talking

When I look out there it makes me glad I'm not you
Seeing outside and the challenges there make me appreciate my own situation

I've experiments to run, there is research to be done
I have work to do conducting experiments and furthering research

On the people who are still alive
My experiments and research are targeted towards those who are living

And believe me, I am still alive
I am still alive despite past challenges

I'm doing science, and I'm still alive
I am continuing with my scientific work and thriving

I feel fantastic, and I'm still alive
I feel great and am still living

While you're dying, I'll be still alive
I will still be alive even as others are dying

And when you're dead, I'll be still alive
I will still be alive even after others have passed away

Still alive
I am alive and continuing to thrive
