Still Alive
Demi Lovato Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Throat chained at the collar
Couldn't get any farther from the daylight
Was I still dreaming, stuck to a machine or
Choking and screaming with my hands tied?
Callin' and callin' but nobody comes
Fallin' and fallin', no air in my lungs
Don't know how I opened up my eyes
But I'm still alive
I don't wanna just survive
Give me something to sink all my teeth in
Eat the devil and spit out my demons
Still alive
Already died a thousand times
Went to Hell but I'm back and I'm breathing
Make me bleed while my heart is still beating
Still alive
Sucked out the poison, drowned out the noise
'Cause I made a choice and drew a hard line
Let the fire catch until I'm back to ash
If anybody asks, I'm turning back time
Chasing the ghosts that would haunt me at night
Facing my past 'cause I'm up for the fight
Somebody turned on the light
I'm not afraid to open up my eyes
But I'm still alive
I don't wanna just survive
Give me something to sink all my teeth in
Eat the devil and spit out my demons
Still alive
Already died a thousand times
Went to Hell but I'm back and I'm breathing
Make me bleed while my heart is still beating
Already died
Suddenly I'm
Still alive
I don't wanna just survive
Give me something to sink all my teeth in
Eat the devil and spit out my demons
Still alive
Already died a thousand times
Went to Hell but I'm back and I'm breathing
Make me bleed while my heart is still beating
Still alive
Still alive
Still alive
The lyrics to Demi Lovato's song "Still Alive" convey a message of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. The song starts with the singer waking up in a difficult situation, feeling trapped and struggling to breathe. The imagery of being underwater and having a throat chained at the collar represents a feeling of suffocation and helplessness. The lyrics question whether the singer is still dreaming or stuck in a nightmarish reality.
Despite the challenges, the singer refuses to give up and just survive. They yearn for something meaningful to hold onto, something they can sink their teeth into. The phrase "Eat the devil and spit out my demons" symbolizes a determination to confront and overcome their inner demons. The lyrics express a sense of rebirth and transformation, emphasizing that the singer has already faced death multiple times but is still standing. They assert that they have been to Hell and back but are now breathing and alive.
The chorus is a powerful declaration of their survival and refusal to be defeated. They acknowledge that they have already died numerous times, yet they continue to fight, to bleed, and to keep their heart beating. The repetition of "Still alive" throughout the song reinforces this message of resilience.
Overall, "Still Alive" is a defiant anthem about triumphing over challenges, confronting one's demons, and embracing life even in the face of past struggles.

@theharshtruthoutthere
I am the CHURCH. As my maker is SPIRIT (John 4:24) whom created me in His image ( Genesis 1:27), makes me a SPIRIT also. And as i dwell in my body, taken from dust, a place for my INNER MAN, SPIRIT to dwell in. Why on earth then GOD need a building made with hands, when He Himself in His Word, clearly says the opposite:
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1 Corinthians 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Therefore, lets correct this advice: "Go outside
Get a life
And most importantly Go to church" - advice which leads to everlasting death.
- Keep out from Babylon. (Revelation 18:4) - lose life here, gain it there, (Mark 8:35)
- be a holy church (1 Thessalonians 5:23) - advice which leads to everlasting life.
And i see it safe to say, that none of you don`t even know that there is A CHOOSING BETWEEN 2 MASTERS (GOD OR MAMMON) all humans must choose: Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Therefore I ask again, which is most valuable, everlasting LIFE or everlasting DEATH?
Is the fame and riches worthy of life, in which one cant live even in their gender their born in?
Ain`t all these needed meds, which shall keep the whole body systems working, deceases ones riches?

This was a triumph
I'm making a note here
"Huge success"
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
Aperture Science
We do what we must because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead
But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive
I'm not even angry
I'm being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my heart
And killed me
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you
Now, these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta, we're releasing on time
So I'm GLaD I got burned, think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive
Go ahead and leave me
I think I prefer to stay inside
Maybe you'll find someone else
To help you
Maybe Black Mesa?
That was a joke, ha-ha, fat chance
Anyway, this cake is great
It's so delicious and moist
Look at me, still talking when there's science to do
When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I'm not you
I've experiments to run, there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive
And believe me, I am still alive
I'm doing science and I'm still alive
I feel fantastic and I'm still alive
While you're dying, I'll be still alive
And when you're dead, I will be still alive
Still alive
Still alive*

It sounds from the early 2000s. Really impressive.

@rydbthatsme
This genre really does suit her best. I understand pop is more popular and has more listeners but i still prefer her heavily punk rock influenced music!
@TobikunOuO
You are aware that in high school she listened to heavy metal and black metal right?
@Michael_Ian_Blackface
This isn't pop?
