Still Alive
O.B.I. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

雲の隙間を抜け
白い陽がこぼれて
濡れた大地は光る
始まりの時

指に伝わる
あなたの涙のぬくもりに
はっきり気づいたよ

その笑顔が見たいだけだと

足りないものはなに？
間違ってんのはどれ？
最後のピース必ず
手に入れてみせる

どこにも行かせない愛しい人よ
差し出されたその手は僕が掴もう
声を聞かせてよ
Baby, you're still alive
身も心もあなたに注ぐから
何一つ終わりじゃない

暴れ出しそうな
衝動胸にしまいこんで
丁寧に正確に
あなたの想い読み解きたい

力がもう少し
あればいいなと思った
祈りを込めるように
名前を呼ぶよ

どこにも行かせない愛しい人よ
差し出されたその手は僕が掴もう
見つめ返してよ
Baby, you're still alive
まなざしから放たれるのは希望
何一つ終わりじゃない

どこにも行かせない愛しい人よ
差し出されたその手は僕が掴もう
怖がらなくてもいい
Baby, you're still alive

長い夜もすぐそばにいるから
何一つ終わりじゃない

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "Still Alive" by O.B.I. The song explores themes of love, perseverance, and hope.

The first verse describes the breaking through of clouds and the emergence of the white sun, which illuminates the wet earth symbolizing a new beginning. It sets the stage for the song's theme of resilience and the determination to keep going despite challenges.

The second verse talks about realizing the warmth of tears and understanding the true value of a smile. It questions what is lacking and what is wrong, emphasizing the need to find the missing piece and obtain it with certainty. This represents the search for completeness and the desire to overcome obstacles.

The chorus reflects the strong affection for someone and the refusal to let them go. It portrays a desire to hold their hand and be there for them, supporting them through their struggles. It's a plea to keep their voice and presence alive because the singer pours their heart and soul into that person, and nothing is truly over as long as they are together.

The bridge describes the temptation to let impulses rage, but instead, they are contained and the longing to carefully and accurately understand the other person's feelings is expressed. It expresses a desire for more strength and the power to convey thoughts and prayers through calling out the person's name.

The repetition of the chorus reinforces the determination to hold onto the loved one and the willingness to reach out and grasp their hand. It encourages them to meet the gaze of the singer and not be afraid, as they are still alive and the singer will be by their side through long nights. It conveys the message that nothing is truly over, symbolizing the enduring nature of love and the importance of hope in difficult times.
