Come Alive
Cannons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I walked the loneliest road
You know I walked it alone
That was a long time ago
Now that you're by my side
I get this feeling, get this feeling
Like I'm hypnotized
I get this feeling, get this feeling
I just come alive
And I been dreaming of you
Do you dream of me too?
And I been dreaming of you, baby
Do you dream of me too?
And I been dreaming of you
Tell me where do we go
Baby, I need to know
I'm tired of walking alone
Tell me which way to go
Now that you're by my side
I get this feeling, get this feeling
Like I'm hypnotized
Now when I see your eyes
I get this feeling, get this feeling
I just come alive
And I been dreaming of you
Do you dream of me too?
And I been dreaming of you, baby
Do you dream of me too?
And I been dreaming of you
Do you dream of me too?
And I been dreaming of you, baby
Do you dream of me too?
And I been dreaming of you
The lyrics of "Come Alive" by Cannons tell the story of a journey of loneliness and the search for love. The first verse sets the tone with the image of a long and lonely road walked alone. However, the tone changes in the chorus as the singer describes the feeling of being hypnotized by the presence of a significant other. The dream-like state that is evoked is just enough to make the singer feel they have "come alive." The second verse expresses the desire of the singer to be with the person they are dreaming of and asking if the feeling is mutual. The last verse shows the singer is ready for a new journey, but this time, they do not want to walk alone or unsure of which direction to take.
The chorus of "Come Alive" is the most memorable and contagious part of the song, and while the verses still hold a significant impact, the chorus is what connects listeners with the story the song seeks to tell. The way the lyrics and melody build to a climax and consistently bring the phrase "get this feeling" to the forefront ultimately provides the listener with an earworm that is hard to resist.
