With their latest release "Tarassis", dEMOTIONAL has proven themselves as a solid six-man-army worthy that place. dEMOTIONAL has become notorious for their energetic live shows and their way of combining modern guitar riffs and the two singers vocals. "Tarassis" is recorded, mixed & produced at Studio PH" by Pontus Hjelm (Dead By April), and it is the product of a young metalband that are experimenting with different genres and tempos, though at the same time keeping their distinctive sound that made them so popular. Just like the album "State: In Denial", the new album "Tarassis" went straight in to the national album chart. After spending a big amount of their time in 2014 writing new material and recording the new album, 2015 dEMOTIONAL successfully headed out as main support to Dead By April on "The Stronger Tour all over Europe.

Alive
Demotional Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And i wont give it a try
I wont keep fighting, for something that wont last
theres no use to deny or live in the past
ill keep this this simple i will speak the truth
listen close to me and comprehend
this time theres no turning back
you have crossed the line
everything has an end everyone has a call
but do you feel alive
tell me,
cant you hear me,
understand me,
im falling down in dispair
help me,
come and save me,
understand me,
I'm shouting, but there's no one there
I understand that theres no room for me but tell me
are you feeling alive
and even tho you've moved on in life i ask you
are you feeling alive
How can i decide what to believe, is it the truth your telling me
You break me down just to see if your in control
i close my eyes and feel regret, even tho i try i cant forget
that you can sink so low
This time i will make a stand, everything you touch turns in to sand
I dont need you
I know your safer where you are, the touch of time has made it's call
Do you feel alive
tell me,
cant you hear me,
understand me,
im falling down in dispair
help me,
come and save me,
understand me
I'm shouting, but there's no one there
I understand that theres no room for me but tell me
are you feeling alive
and even tho you've moved on in life i ask you
are you feeling alive

They acknowledge that everything has an end and everyone has a calling, but they want the other person to truly consider if they still feel alive without the relationship.
There are elements of sadness and desperation in the lyrics. The singer feels like they are falling down in despair and shouting but no one is there to help them. They want the other person to understand where they are coming from and to come to their aid. However, they also acknowledge that there is no room for them in the other person's life anymore.
The chorus repeats the question "Are you feeling alive?" which is an important theme in the song. The singer is asking the other person to truly consider if they are happy and fulfilled without the relationship. They want the other person to move on in life, but also want them to make sure they are truly happy without the singer.
Overall, the lyrics to "Alive" are emotional and thought-provoking. They explore the complexities of relationships and the difficulty of letting go.
