Still Alive
Cabaret Grey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So there's one person
Living notoriously in your coat
But I can't feel you
I can't hear you anymore

So there's one sentence
I would like to say
No one ever was living
No one in my messy head

So please wake me up
Force me to insomnia
So please wake me up
Don't let me rest to long from you

If you want to hear a cliche
I can tell you lots of it
Cause for the first time
The cliche is so real

You're supposed to like me
Yet you perceive in a different way
For you an itchy disturbance
For me intoxicating void

So please wake me up
Force me to insomnia
So please wake me up
Don't let me rest to long from you

So please wake me up
Force me to insomnia




So please wake me up
Don't let me rest to long from you

Overall Meaning

In "Still Alive" by Cabaret Grey, the lyrics portray a sense of detachment and longing for someone who is no longer present. The opening lines suggest that there is one person who used to be intimately close, represented by them living "notoriously in your coat." However, despite their physical presence, the singer can no longer feel or hear them. This indicates a disconnection and emotional distance that has grown between the two individuals.


The second verse introduces the idea that there is something that the singer wants to express but hasn't been able to. They declare that no one has ever truly lived or existed in their "messy head", emphasizing a state of inner turmoil and confusion. The lyrics suggest that perhaps this unspoken sentiment is one of longing, of missing the other person and wanting them to be a part of their life again.


The chorus reinforces this desire for the other person's presence. The singer pleads to be awakened and kept from resting too long, as if they fear forgetting or losing touch with the person they long for. The lyrics highlight the intensity of their longing, suggesting that only in this state of constant wakefulness can they maintain a connection or hope to feel complete again.


Overall, "Still Alive" conveys a deep yearning for a lost connection, emphasizing the emotional void left behind. It explores themes of distance, loneliness, and the desperation to be reunited with someone who was once an essential part of the singer's existence.
