Come Alive
Jetglo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you come alive now I'm gone
I keep looking back
Moments that we shared in time
Fractured into shards
That collect up in my mind
I hope you keep for me
If you're never gonna look
Then you're never gonna see
Do you come alive now I'm gone
Do you come alive now I'm gone
Do you come alive now I'm gone
Do you come alive now I'm gone
You know I'm always here
Right where I was before
Are you looking back for me
As you're walking out the door
I can't make it up to you
But I'm hoping that you know
That you're still the world to me
Even if it doesn't show
Do you come alive now I'm gone
Do you come alive now I'm gone
Do you come alive now I'm gone
Do you come alive now I'm gone
Do you come alive …….
The lyrics to Jetglo's song "Come Alive" talk about the aftermath of a breakup and the lingering emotions that come with it. The singer is questioning whether their former partner is thriving now that they have moved on. They reminisce about past moments, describing them as fragments that remain in their mind, and hope that their ex-lover keeps their memories of these moments close.
The chorus repeats the question: do they come alive now that the singer is gone? There is a tone of resignation in the lyrics; the singer knows that they cannot change the past, but they still hope their former partner is happy. They acknowledge that they are still in love with their ex-lover, but they cannot make amends for what happened.
