Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is the night
This is the night
Hey
Feelin' alive
Feelin' alive
My heart goes boom as the stars go blue
The moon gets light as the sun goes down
Somewhere behind the Hollywood sign
Have you ever felt like you're livin' in the shadows?
Have you ever felt kept out?
I know sometimes that it feels like a battle
But it can turn around
Hey
This is the night
This is the night
Hey
Feelin' alive
Feelin' alive
The kick drum starts as the boulevard
Filled up with all the boys and the girls
Jersey town to the L.A. Crowd
They're hearing us all over the world
Have you ever felt like standin' on a rooftop?
Have you ever wanted to scream?
Everybody dance, burn it up 'til we blast off
Just like a rocket machine
Hey
This is the night
This is the night
Hey
Feelin' alive
Feelin' alive
'Cause we're not alone tonight
So raise up your hands and touch the sky
'Cause we're not alone tonight
Hey
This is the night
This is the night (yeah)
Hey (yeah)
Feelin' alive
Feelin' alive (feelin' alive)
Hey
This is the night
This is the night
(This is the night)
Hey

This is the night
(Can you feel it?)
Hey
