Stayin' Alive
B3 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, you can tell
By the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around

Since I was born.
And now it's all right. It's OK.
And you may look the other way.

We can try to understand

The New York Time's effect on man.
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin',

And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.
Well now, I get low and I get high,

And if I can't get either, I really try.
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes.
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose.
You know it's all right. It's OK.

I'll live to see another day.
We can try to understand
The New York Time's effect on man.
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,

You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin',
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.

Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.

Somebody help me yeah. Stayin' alive.
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around

Since I was born.
And now it's all right. It's OK.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand

The New York Time's effect on man.
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin',

And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.

Somebody help me, yeah.

Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me yeah.
I'm Stayin' alive.

Overall Meaning

The song starts with a simple description of the singer: a confident and purposeful man who has no time for trivialities such as small talk. He is always surrounded by loud music and attractive women and has been hardened by the challenges of life from birth. However, the song's very upbeat tone and fast tempo suggest that he has not let those struggles take him down. The song's chorus is a call to action for everyone in the city as they face the stresses of modern life, encouraging them to keep going no matter what.

The second verse is a bit more introspective and explores the singer's internal struggles. He acknowledges that he can occasionally get low and high, but he is always trying to stay positive and stay on top. The repetition of the phrase "It's alright, it's okay" suggests that he is constantly reassuring himself that things are going to be fine. As the song progresses, the chorus repeats again, emphasizing the importance of staying alive no matter what life throws at you. The song closes with a desperate plea for help, as the singer acknowledges that life is not always easy, and he needs some support to keep going.

Overall, "Stayin' Alive" is a celebratory song of perseverance and determination. It is an upbeat anthem for anyone who has ever faced hardship but managed to keep on going. The song's catchy beat and powerful lyrics make it an enduring classic that continues to inspire.
