1) Sasha, … Read Full Bio ↴There are currently several artists using the name Sasha:
1) Sasha, born Alexander Coe (born September 4, 1969), is a Welsh DJ and record producer. Late Night Tales Presents Sasha: Scene Delete was released in April 2016. He is also known for partnering with English DJ, John Digweed, as Sasha + Digweed. The pair released several mix albums together, including the Northern Exposure series (released between 1996 and 2001). They also released one of the all time best selling mix albums, The Renaissance Mix Collection part 1, in 1994. Sasha also released two Global Underground solo mix CDs, San Francisco (GU009) and Ibiza (GU013), which are considered classics of the progressive house genre.
In 2002 he released his first solo LP, Airdrawndagger, a result of collaboration with Charlie May and Junkie XL, the album also featured a guest appearance from James Holden. The album enjoyed excellent reviews upon its release, and recently a wave of quality remixes by various producers has re-kindled interest in Sasha's production work. 2004 saw the release of Involver, his third in the Global Underground series. This mix album differed from previous albums in that each track was completely reproduced in the studio, as opposed to simply being blended together.
More recently, in 2005, Sasha began moving away from mixing with records and CDs in favor of a new approach with computer software and a dedicated controller for his live sets. With the sequencing/mixing software Ableton Live and a custom controller that Sasha helped to design, he is able to use mixing techniques that are difficult or impossible with conventional methods, including mixing together many sources at once, adjusting pitch and tempo of sources independently, and cutting up and rearranging songs. His most recent mixed CD, Fundacion, was recorded using the Ableton Live software and the album bears the name of his monthly residency nights in both New York and Los Angeles.

Sasha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
À contre-sens, je revois tout
Souvenir amer de notre histoire
Sublime désert
Des brouillards
The way you're keeping me alive
Visage livide
Douleur
La peur du vide
A un goût de bonheur
Mais je me perds
Tombe en avant
Dans ce mystère
Hors du temps
The way you're keeping me alive
The way he's teaching me a lie
The way you're keeping me alive
The way he's teaching me a lie
Ainsi s'achève
Triste déroute
En douceur
Était-ce un rêve?
Parfois je doute
Mais j'apprends de mes erreurs
Oh-oh, the way you're keeping me alive (the way you thrill me, the way, oh)
The way he's teaching me a lie (the way you thrill me, the way, oh)
The way you're keeping me alive (the way you thrill me, the way, oh)
The way he's teaching me a lie (the way you thrill me, the way, oh)
I-i-i-i-ve
The song "Alive" by Sasha opens with the lyrics "Lumière intense sur nous / À contre-sens, je revois tout / Souvenir amer de notre histoire" which can be translated into English as "Intense light on us / Against the grain, I see everything again / Bitter memory of our story". The opening lines are describing a reflective moment where the singer is remembering a past relationship that did not end well. The words "lumière intense" and "contre-sens" can be interpreted as the singer realizing that the relationship was not healthy; they were moving against the natural flow and the intense light reveals the flaws.
The second verse goes "Visage livide / Douleur / La peur du vide / A un goût de bonheur / Mais je me perds / Tombe en avant / Dans ce mystère / Hors du temps" which can be translated into English as "Pale face / Pain / Fear of the void / Tastes like happiness / But I get lost / Fall forward / In this mystery / Out of time". In these lines, the singer is describing the mixed emotions they feel after the relationship has ended. The fear of being alone is mixed with the happiness of liberation, but ultimately they feel lost and adrift.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "The way you're keeping me alive / The way he's teaching me a lie" which means that the singer is acknowledging that despite the toxic nature of the relationship, they were still being kept alive by its presence. However, in reality, the relationship was built on a lie, and the singer recognizes this.
Overall, "Alive" is a reflective song about a past relationship that was not built on a solid foundation. The singer is feeling mixed emotions about the relationship ending, as they felt kept alive by it but also recognize that it was a lie.
