Good To Be Alive
Sedan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In some phony style
Said today is paved
Tomorrow's going up in fire
Bed like a tether
On an early morning lull
I don't know what's gone
But I think you're a liar
They never really cared they never even tried
Another rainy day stuck to the sky
But it's good to be alive yeah it's good to be alive
Everyone's walking
With some phony smile
Said today is played
Tomorrow's down to the wire
Everyone's floating
On someone else's flight
And prayin' today's broken rain
Flies tomorrow's light
Tomorrow's a day that they left inside
They never really cared they never even tried
Another rainy day stuck to the sky
But it's good to be alive yeah it's good to be alive
Oooo don't you know it
Yeah it only makes you cry
When nobody can hold it
Remember what's implied
When the wind is blowing by
Blowin' by
So goodbye
Blowin' by
One more time
One more time...
Tomorrow's a day that they left inside
They never really cared they never even tried
Another rainy day stuck to the sky
But it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive
It's good to be alive yeah it's good to be alive
The lyrics of "Good to be Alive" by Sedan seem to reflect on the superficiality of everyday life and the realization of the deceptive nature of those around us. The opening lines suggest that people are speaking in a fake or insincere manner, emphasizing the phoniness of their actions. The mention of today being paved and tomorrow going up in fire implies that there is little substance or genuine meaning to be found in the present or the future.
The following lines introduce the metaphor of a bed being like a tether, suggesting a feeling of being trapped or restricted in a monotonous and mundane existence. The singer expresses distrust towards someone who may have lied to them, indicating a general disillusionment with the dishonesty they encounter.
The chorus then presents a contrast between the indifference and lack of effort from others towards tomorrow, and the singer's acceptance and appreciation of life. Despite the constant presence of rainy and gloomy days in the sky, the singer finds solace in the fact that it is good to be alive.
The second verse continues to explore the deceptive nature of people, with everyone wearing fake smiles and playing a role in this facade. The idea that today is played and tomorrow is down to the wire suggests a sense of urgency and unpredictability in the future. People are described as floating on someone else's flight, implying that they are not taking charge of their own lives but relying on others.
The bridge introduces a sense of melancholy and vulnerability, acknowledging that it can be emotionally challenging when no one can understand or hold the weight of one's struggles. However, the line "Remember what's implied when the wind is blowing by" suggests that despite these difficulties, there is a reminder of the transient nature of life and the need to embrace every moment.
The concluding repetition of the chorus emphasizes the singer's affirmation of finding joy and gratitude in being alive despite the trials and insincerity encountered. It serves as a reminder to appreciate the present and find meaning in the simple act of being alive.
