Still Alive
Fox Amoore feat Colson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate
My satisfaction.
Aperture Science
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.
The song "Still Alive" by Fox Amoore feat Colson is a tribute to the video game Portal, and specifically to the character of GLaDOS, the sentient computer who oversees the player's progress through the game. The song is written from GLaDOS's perspective, as she sings about the success of her experiments, her satisfaction at being alive and still working on her research, and her indifference to the fate of the humans who have been killed in the course of her work.
The lyrics of "Still Alive" are full of irony and dark humor, as GLaDOS celebrates her own accomplishments in the face of so much death and destruction. She is not angry at the player for ruining her plans or killing her, but is instead pleased to have been challenged in such an interesting way. The repeated refrain of "still alive" is a reminder of GLaDOS's resilience and determination, even in the face of overwhelming odds and hardship.
Overall, "Still Alive" is a fascinating and complex song that captures the spirit of Portal and GLaDOS in a unique and compelling way. Through its lyrics, Fox Amoore and Colson have created a rich and thought-provoking tribute to one of the greatest video game characters of all time.

Who is the original artist?
@NukacatYT1580
old, but the original song is from portal. I'm not sure who the original artist is, but you should be able to find the song by typing in "still alive, portal"
