Still Alive
Dreadful Shadows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I never found someone at the end
All the dreadful dreams I dreamt
But I always woke up in the morning
To the headless and legless I went
But what did they want to tell me
In the water of a deep blue sea I swam
But I was not drowned
In the light of the fire on that place
I've seen that burning face
In the fire of that lightning place
I've seen my face, but I'm still alive
All the silly games I played with you
All attacks that I survived I don't care
And I stood on the top of the highest rocks
Never been so close to eternity
All the valleys of death - didn't try to avoid
But no sunbeam met my face again
As my body was ice it melted slow
But the night was cold, I'm Still Alive
In the light of the fire on that place
I've seen that burning face
In the fire of that lightning place
I've seen my face, but I'm still alive
In the light - of the fire -
I've seen a light - In the night -
In the light - of the fire -
I've seen my face
The lyrics of Dreadful Shadows's song Still Alive are both haunting and reflective. The song talks about the various ways the singer has walked but failed to find someone at the end of the journey. They have had terrible dreams but still managed to wake up every morning. The singer even visited headless and legless beings whom they couldn't comprehend their message. They have also swum in the deep blue sea but not drowned.
The song seems to suggest that the singer may have gone through several emotional and physical challenges in their lives, some of which they have overcome while others have left them feeling lost and confused. However, they seem to find solace in the light of a fire where they see a burning face and their own reflection. The lyrics imply that they have gone through some form of spiritual transformation that has enabled them to accept and be content with being "Still Alive."
The lyrics seem to be an acknowledgment of the human experience of confronting life's challenges, the importance of self-discovery, and finding meaning in moments of stillness. In essence, the song is a testimony of perseverance and hope despite life's uncertainties.

All the endless ways I walked along
I have traveled numerous routes throughout my journey
But I never found someone at the end
Unfortunately, my search for companionship was in vain
All the dreadful dreams I dreamt
I've had many nightmares that left me disturbed
But I always woke up in the morning
Despite my torment, I always managed to survive until morning
To the headless and legless I went
I've encountered strange and mysterious entities
But what did they want to tell me
Their intentions remain unclear to me
In the water of a deep blue sea I swam
I've journeyed through dangerous waters, but I've emerged unscathed
But I was not drowned
Despite the perilous experiences, I am still alive
All the silly games I played with you
I engaged in trivial activities with someone precious
All attacks that I survived I don't care
I am unfazed by any adversities that I have overcome
And I stood on the top of the highest rocks
I have accomplished great feats and reached new heights
Never been so close to eternity
I have had transcendent moments that have brought me closer to the divine
All the valleys of death - didn't try to avoid
I've faced death and did not shy away from it
But no sunbeam met my face again
Despite my perseverance, happiness has eluded me
As my body was ice it melted slow
I have faced personal struggles, but I've managed to survive
But the night was cold, I'm Still Alive
Although I faced hardships, I am still alive and well
In the light - of the fire -
Illuminated by the warmth of a fire,
I've seen a light - In the night -
I've experienced moments of clarity amidst the darkness of the night
In the light - of the fire -
Continuing to be enlightened by the fire,
I've seen my face
I have come to a deeper understanding of myself
