Still Alive
Merlin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was supposed to kill
Being a son of revolution
I was to wash any kind of resistance
My hands were clean as snow
My heart was hot as fire
My impassive head was cold
Now you must surprised
You thought that I got killed
You can even show my grave
(Bullshit comrade, not at all)
I come to life again
When darkness falls at midnight
My knew body made a steel leaves its iron pedestal
The monument revives
Moving slowly through dark
Iron Felix takes a hunt
Executioner I walk along
Narrow streets and hide in the darkness
Looking for a challenger to be killed
I'm alert and you've no chance
No one can survive in this game
My embrace is hard and I'll never let you go
I rose up from the emptiness
To finish what we started
The ambassador of future returned from the past
Terminating anyone who's against the world of justice
Red Terror is here again, it's not a myth
Born to kill
I'm still alive and I'll take you on a hell ride
Being a son of Revolution
I'm to kill and kill infinitely
Walking in the dark
Every night I look for a victim
It's my step resounding loud
Resounding in you heart
Hey passer-by aware
Never leave your home at midnight
Iron Felix waits for you
Born to kill
I'm still alive and gonna take a hunt

I'm still alive
Still alive
Still alive
Still alive
Still alive
Still alive
Still alive





Still alive!

Overall Meaning

Merlin's song "Still Alive" is a dark and violent portrayal of a character who is a "son of revolution," and whose role is to massacre any forms of resistance. The singer describes himself as a cold and impassive person with clean hands who is ready to kill at all times. However, the real twist comes when they announce that they are still alive despite being thought to have been killed. The singer rises again after darkness falls at midnight, and they come back as a new body made of steel, leaving their iron pedestal behind. The monument seems to have come back to life, and the singer takes on the role of the executioner, walking through narrow streets and looking to kill challengers. Merlin's song portrays the singer as an unstoppable force, the ambassador of the future returned from the past, who eliminates anyone against the world of justice. The song ends with the repeated affirmation of the singer's immortality.


Overall, the song is a bleak depiction of a totalitarian state where the singer is the face of oppression. The lyrics present a dangerous and thrilling narrative of someone who takes pleasure in killing and is not afraid to do so. The chorus of the song, "Still alive," is ironic because it is clear that the character is not really living but rather existing in a perpetual state of violence and chaos.
