Come Alive
Paige Armstrong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What will you choose
To walk among the crowd
Or be one of the few
Embracing everyday that you've been given
Hope to see your passion through
And be driven
By the fire that burns within
Look inside
Try to find that thing
That makes you come alive
There's more to life
Then to be unsatisfied
So take a chance to live
You've got so much to give
Cause the world needs you
To come alive
What good is getting by
When you throw your dreams aside
Instead of knowing why
You only know you never tried
To see beyond what blinds your eyes
Oh, you took comfort in your compromise
You've gotta search for what inspires
All the while that you try
I'll be right by your side
Watching you grow into your own
You'll live your desire
The whole world will catch fire
When you come alive>
The song Come Alive by Paige Armstrong is an inspiring call to action about making the most of the opportunities we are given in life. The lyrics emphasize the importance of choosing to embrace each day and finding our own passion and motivation, rather than simply going through the motions of the everyday routine. The message is clear – we should take a chance to live and use our unique talents and gifts to make a positive difference in the world.
The opening lines of the chorus underline the significance of choice in our lives – every day, we have the opportunity to decide whether we will simply blend in with the crowd or stand out as one of the few individuals who can truly make a difference. The next lines imply that we all have a burning desire within us to do something meaningful, and that it is up to us to seek it out and let it drive us forward.
The second verse expands on this theme by contrasting the idea of settling for a mediocre existence with the potential for greatness that lies within each of us. It urges listeners to look beyond the blinders that keep us stuck in our comfort zones and strive to find what truly inspires us. The final few lines then offer a sense of encouragement and support, suggesting that we are not alone in our quest for fulfillment and that the world is waiting for us to blossom and "catch fire" with our passion and purpose.
