Feel Alive
Michele Luppi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Twenty-four years have gone by
You never know what they see inside of you
Where there's a place they'll never reach
And nobody you can share it with
I wanna try everything I can
I always feel I can get better than this
We've got women using their brains
Just when they fall in love
We've got men trying to fight each night
Without their pride
And I really don't know what it takes to feel alive
Yeah, to feel alive
I'm waiting for someone to come and rescue me
Won't you come and rescue me?
Won't you come and rescue me?
Twenty-four years have gone by
Still don't have a clue 'bout what I'm doing with my life
Sometimes I wonder if I'll make it through this time
And every day and night I hide behind my right to feel alive
Sometimes I think I'm just fooling myself
Sometimes I'm sure that's the only way I can be
You gotta be open-minded if you don't wanna fall apart
If you don't wanna read your story filled with no, no, no!
And I really don't know what it takes to feel alive
Yeah, to feel alive
I'm waiting for someone to come and rescue me
Won't you come and rescue me?
And I really don't know what it takes to feel so good
Mmm, so good
I'm waiting for someone to come and rescue me
(Won't you come?)
Won't you come?
(Rescue me)
Rescue me
(Won't you come?)
Won't you come?
(Rescue me)
Rescue me!
And I really don't know what it takes to feel alive
Mmm, to feel alive
I'm waiting for someone to come and rescue me
Won't you come and rescue me?
And I really don't know what it takes to feel so good
Yeah, so good
I'm waiting for someone to come and rescue me
(Won't you come?)
Won't you come?
(Rescue me)
Rescue me
(Won't you come?)
Won't you come?
And I really don't know what it takes to feel so good
(Won't you come?)
Won't you come?
(Rescue me)
Rescue me
(Won't you come?)
Won't you come?
(Rescue me)
Won't you come and rescue me?
Yeah, what it takes to feel so good...
(Feel alive)
What it takes to feel alive
(Feel alive)
What it takes to feel so go good
(Feel alive)
To feel alive...
(Feel alive)
Yeah, to feel alive...
Man?
Aahh?
Man, we gotta do it 'n we did it right...
I hope we did it right...
But I hope... I hope you understand
But... Let's go...
In Michele Luppi's song "Feel Alive," the lyrics express a feeling of uncertainty about life and the search for purpose. The song opens with the passage of time, as the singer reflects on 24 years gone by without a clear sense of direction. He recognizes that there are parts of himself that nobody can reach or understand, and this feeling of isolation drives him to try new things and search for fulfillment. He admits to not knowing what it takes to feel alive, and to waiting for someone to rescue him from his confusion and doubt.
The second verse continues this theme of uncertainty, as the singer wonders about his ability to make it through difficult times. He recognizes that he sometimes fools himself into believing he knows what he's doing, but more often feels lost and uncertain. The song ends with a repeated plea for someone to come and rescue him, to show him what it takes to feel alive and to feel good.
Overall, Luppi's "Feel Alive" is a deeply introspective and vulnerable song that speaks to the universal feeling of searching for meaning and purpose in life.
