Still Alive
Maximillian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said time was supposed to heal
Promised me that I'd be better if you disappeared
Time's running out, I get it now, my dear
You did not have the time, so you left me here

I guess that you are a liar
'Cause you told me I'd survive, yeah
It's like everything reminds me of you
So let me ask you this

If you ever find peace, would you leave
Just the way you did with me?
Are you still making wounds, giving scars?
Still living of the hopeless, living of the broken hearts?
Living of the broken hearts

Already gone by the time you said goodbye
Unsteady love make it hard to find the line
I should have known, felt all the cold, my dear
'Cause as soon as you left, time simply disappeared

So I guess that you are a liar
'Cause you told me I would survive, yeah
It's like everything reminds me of you
So let me ask you this

If you ever find peace, would you leave
Just the way you did with me?
Are you still making wounds, giving scars
Still living of the hopeless, living of the broken hearts?
Living of the broken hearts
Leaving all these open scars
Oh, living with the broken hearts
If you ever find peace, would you leave
Just the way you did with me?
Are you still making wounds, giving scars
Still living of the hopeless, living of the broken hearts?
Living of the broken hearts
Leaving all these open scars




Living with a frozen heart
Oh, living of the broken hearts

Overall Meaning

The person who left them did not have the time to work things out, leaving the singer feeling abandoned and hurt.

They were told that they would survive the breakup, but everything around them still reminds them of their ex-lover, making it difficult to move on. The singer poses a question to their ex-lover, questioning if they would leave the same way if they ever find peace or closure in their own life.


In the second verse, the singer reflects on how their love was already fading before the goodbye. The relationship was unsteady and left the singer feeling lost and confused. The line "as soon as you left, time simply disappeared" suggests that the breakup has left the singer feeling stuck in a state of pain and heartbreak. They once again accuse their ex-lover of being a liar for promising their survival after the breakup.


The bridge emphasizes the emotional impact of the broken relationship, describing the scars and wounds that still haunt the singer. The repeated mention of living with broken hearts and open scars reflects the ongoing pain and vulnerability they feel.


Overall, "Still Alive" conveys a sense of betrayal, longing, and the difficulty of moving on from a broken relationship, highlighting the emotional turmoil experienced by the singer.


Line by Line Meaning

You said time was supposed to heal
You claimed that time would eventually heal my emotional wounds


Promised me that I'd be better if you disappeared
You made me believe that I would recover and improve if you were no longer in my life


Time's running out, I get it now, my dear
I now understand that time is limited and slipping away


You did not have the time, so you left me here
You didn't have the patience or commitment to stay in my life, so you abandoned me


I guess that you are a liar
I have come to the realization that you are a dishonest person


'Cause you told me I'd survive, yeah
Because you assured me that I would be able to endure and overcome


It's like everything reminds me of you
Every little thing around me constantly triggers memories of you


So let me ask you this
I have a question for you


If you ever find peace, would you leave
If you manage to find inner peace, would you abandon someone else like you did to me?


Just the way you did with me?
In the same cold-hearted manner you dealt with our relationship?


Are you still making wounds, giving scars
Are you still causing emotional pain and leaving lasting marks on others?


Still living of the hopeless, living of the broken hearts?
Are you still thriving off the vulnerability and heartbreak of those who are desperate?


Leaving all these open scars
Leaving behind numerous emotional wounds that remain unhealed


Oh, living with the broken hearts
Existing alongside those who have experienced profound emotional pain


Already gone by the time you said goodbye
You had already emotionally detached yourself from me before actually ending our relationship


Unsteady love make it hard to find the line
The inconsistent and unstable affection made it challenging to determine the boundaries or expectations


I should have known, felt all the cold, my dear
I should have recognized the signs and sensed the emotional distance, my beloved


'Cause as soon as you left, time simply disappeared
Because the moment you departed, time seemed to lose all significance or meaning


Living with a frozen heart
Existing with an emotionally numb and unresponsive heart
