Come Alive
Hanni El Khatib Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waitin' and wishin'
Wishin' and hopin'
Hopin' you'll come alive for me tonight, babe.
Whoa oh god, come alive
You've been lyin'
Lyin' and cheatin'
Breakin' this trend until you know you're guilty
Guilty of all goddamn lies.
But I don't wanna talk about it.
So I'm just bein' bad cause
There's no love like a love like this
âCause a love don't exist when a boy wanna play
So whoa oh oh whoa oh oh whoa oh oh...
Oh god, come on
Carolina, come and get me
Alabama, Mississippi
I know you need to find some refuge with me.
Whoo!
You can't just sleep walk
Can't just sweet talk
New York Sunshine
Darlin' I know that you ain't mine but
I'll take you
Take you under surface
But I don't wanna talk about it
So I'm just bein' bad cause
There ain't no love like a love like this
âCause a love don't exist when a boy wanna play
So whoa oh oh whoa oh oh whoa oh oh...
Oh God come on
(Yeah boys)
But I don't wanna talk about it
So I'm just bein' bad cause
There ain't no love like a love like this
âCause a love don't exist when a boy wanna play so
In Hanni El Khatib's song "Come Alive," the singer expresses his desire for a significant other to stop her deceitful ways and instead come alive and be truthful with him. The beginning of the song highlights the singer's longing for their significant other to recognize and reciprocate the love that he offers. The repetitive use of "waitin," "wishin," and "hopin" emphasizes the singer's patience and eagerness for his partner.
As the song progresses, it highlights the struggles the singer faces due to his partner's infidelity. The lyrics "Lyin' and cheatin'/ Cheatin' and breakin' Breakin' this trend until you know you're guilty/ Guilty of all goddamn lies" further cement the betrayal and hurt the singer is feeling.
Despite these issues, the singer tries to avoid addressing them and instead opts to engage in risky behavior with his significant other. He acknowledges that their love may not be healthy or worth the pain, but that he cannot resist the temptation of being with her. The use of the phrase "Cause a love don't exist when a boy wanna play" portrays the singer's overall recklessness and highlights the destructive nature of their relationship.
In summary, Hanni El Khatib's "Come Alive" explores the complex and tumultuous experience of being in a toxic relationship, plagued by dishonesty, and problematic behavior.
