Come Alive
Skies Collide Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unsure of a future without you
But I couldn't bring myself to care
There was nothing hanging in the air
Don't feel the way I should
And that speaks volumes enough
So you were gone
I'm awake from the dream & the lie
Never meant to come alive
I understand if you don't believe in this
Just don't try and twist me out of shape
I felt your aura drain out in front of me
But I couldn't grieve
And now the sky can't hold you in
And we cannot force
What would have never been
I have to let you pass me by
Your moving on
Was a blessing in disguise
The lyrics to Skies Collide's song "Come Alive" describe a complicated and conflicting emotion that the singer feels after a breakup. The singer starts by expressing a desire to feel hurt by their ex's words and uncertainty about their future without them. However, they find that they cannot bring themselves to care anymore because "there was nothing hanging in the air." The singer realizes that they do not feel the way they "should" about the breakup, and this realization shows how the singer may have grown apart from their partner emotionally, leading to the eventual fallout of their relationship.
The singer then reflects on how their ex has moved on, and they too have woken up from the dream they had shared together. The singer admits that they never meant to "Come Alive" or confront the harsh reality of their relationship. Nonetheless, the truth of their breakup has set them free, and the singer finds liberation in accepting the end of their relationship. The singer recognizes that their ex is moving on and sees their departure as a "blessing in disguise." Overall, the lyrics suggest that although the singer may have experienced some pain related to the breakup, they have come to terms with the end of their relationship and are now healing from it.

Your moving on
Your ability to move forward with your life
Was a blessing in disguise
