Alive
Before Their Eyes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're chasing
Gotta run, gotta hide to save it.
Keep it quiet in the silence
Make it out alive.
Let's run away
What we give just to live forever.
Anything if we ever make it out alive.
We don't have to say a word
We don't have to fool this world.
Go until
There's nothing left. x4
You are the only thing that's close to me
So quietly we'll make it on our own
Make it on our own.
You are my everything
The air I breathe
And I won't let them make me let you go.
So lead me down this road.
What we got
Is a life worth living
Even if it's light we're missing.
In the hope
There's a vision
Make it out alive
We don't have to say a word
We don't have to fool this world.
Go until
There's nothing left. x4
You are the only thing that's close to me
So quietly we'll make it on our own
Make it on our own. x2
You are my everything
The air I breathe
And I won't let them make me let you go.
So lead me down this road. x2
Time and time
And time again
We'll take the night
And we'll light this flame.
I'll find the time to see your face
Some way. x4
x2
You are the only thing that's close to me
So quietly we'll make it on our own
Make it on our own. x2
You are my everything
The air I breathe
And I won't let them make me let you go.
So lead me down this road. x3
The song "Alive" by Before Their Eyes is about two individuals who are trying to protect their love and relationship from the world. They desperately want to stay together and will do anything to make that happen. The lyrics talk about how they need to run and hide, and keep their relationship a secret in order to survive. They believe that their love is worth everything and that they can conquer anything if they are together. They express their desire to run away and live in each other's light forever.
The chorus of the song emphasizes their strong connection with each other and how they do not need to prove their love or explain anything to the world. They just want to go until there is nothing left and enjoy their time together. The line "You are the only thing that's close to me" shows how much they value each other, and the line "And I won't let them make me let you go" is a declaration that they will fight for their love and not let anyone take it away.
The song also talks about how the future might be uncertain, but they believe that together they can make it through anything. The line "In the hope there's a vision" shows that they have hope and faith in their love. The song ends with the promise that they will find a way to see each other again, no matter what.

Shivers Creek
Wow, this really reminds me of Untouchable - back when they incorporated more of the pop elements. But it's still amazing how BTE can be fuse both pop and post-hardcore together.
