Still Alive
Hollow Haze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time is now changing and the memory fades
The lament of a child is now the cry of a man
Beauty and poetry in the temple of the spider!
Now I can remember what I was searching for
And from the darkness comes a smile
Now I know what it means to live for someone else
You made the rules and I played my part
Which God may I think
All this ghosts inside my head
Can you hear them in the night?
If you believe in what we are
So maybe you turn back the hands of time
If you believe in what we are
So maybe you turn back the hands of time
My dream is still alive
And so is it here in the dark
You made the rules and I played the part
Now I know what it means to live for someone else
We are just believing
And time has no meaning
If you believe in what we are
So maybe you turn back the hands of time
If you believe in what we are
So maybe you turn back the hands of time
My dream is still alive
The lyrics of Hollow Haze’s song “Still Alive” display a deep sense of reflection and contemplation about the past, present, and future, as well as the transition from childhood to adulthood. The opening lines, “What’s left for me to see? Time is now changing and the memory fades,” suggest the singer’s feeling of uncertainty about the future and doubtfulness of the past. As time passes, it seems that things are not as clear-cut as they once seemed to be.
In the next few lines, the lyrics hint at the singer’s growth into adulthood with “The lament of a child is now the cry of a man,” and the “Beauty and poetry in the temple of the spider!” metaphor might signify the singer’s realization that the beauty and poetry of life are found not in the conventional, clear paths but in the unexpected, complex, and confusing paths.
The chorus offers a hopeful and optimistic message, encouraging the listener to believe in themselves and their dreams. As the singer experiences growth, they learn to live for someone else and understand that their dreams are still alive, even in the darkness. The final lines of the song, “We are just believing, and time has no meaning,” express that the world is what we make of it, and our beliefs manifest reality.
