Come Alive
Dynazty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I come alive when the full moon rises
Lust awakens within me
I control the demon inside
Begging me to set him free from his hide

Call me in to your den of sin
Let the night begin
I live for the night
That's when I turn a sinner
And you turn a saint
I live for the time
When the daylight is fading
That is when I come alive

Every morning I look in the mirror
I see a man hiding in a masquerade
I can't fool myself any longer
I was born a savage, I live to ravage
I can't hide

Call me in to your den of sin
Let the night begin

I live for the night
That's when I turn a sinner
And you turn a saint
I live for the time
When the daylight is fading
That is when I come alive





When the daylight is fading
That is when I come alive

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Dynazty's song "Come Alive" convey a sense of transformation, almost as though the singer is consumed by a different, more primal side of themselves when the full moon rises. The imagery of lust is particularly evocative, as it suggests a raw, untamed desire that is perhaps not present during daylight hours. However, the singer is able to control the inner demon that is begging to be set free, suggesting that this darkness is not a completely uncontrollable force.


The chorus of the song emphasizes this split between day and night, the saint and the sinner. The singer almost revels in their ability to shift between these two identities, living for the "time when the daylight is fading" because that is when their darker side can emerge. The repeated phrase "I come alive" reinforces this idea of transformation, suggesting that the singer feels more truly themselves during these darker hours.


The final lines of the song particularly stand out, as the singer confronts their own reflection and acknowledges that they can no longer "fool myself any longer." This is a moment of realization, where the singer fully embraces their savage nature and the desire to "ravage." The sense of duality that runs throughout the song is thus resolved, as the singer fully embraces both sides of their nature.
