Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like you, just like you
For how long, for how long must I wait?
I know there's something wrong
Your concrete heart isn't beating
And I've tried to make it come alive
No shadows, just red lights
Now I'm here to rescue you
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
So silent, no violence
But inside my head so loud and clear
You're screaming, you're screaming
Covered up with a smile I've learned to fear
Just sunshine and blue sky
Is this is all we get for living here?
Come fire, come fire
Let it burn and love come racing through
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
I've learned to lose, I've learned to win
I turn my face against the wind
I will move fast, I will move slow
Take me where I have to go
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
I'm still alive
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
Ooh I'm still alive, I'm still alive
I cannot apologize, no
The lyrics to "Still Alive" by Solar Fields (featuring Lisa Miskovsky) portray a story of personal growth and resilience. The singer starts by acknowledging that they have changed, just like the other person in the relationship. They are aware that there is something wrong, that the other person's "concrete heart isn't beating," but they have tried to resuscitate it. However, there are no shadows or any signs of life in the other person, just red lights. The singer then asserts that they are here to rescue the other person, and they affirm that they are still alive and cannot apologize for it.
The second verse depicts how the singer feels inside their head - the screaming covered up by a smile they have learned to fear. They question whether sunshine and blue skies are all that life has to offer. The singer invokes fire as a symbol of passion and love, and they are willing to let it burn through their lives. The chorus repeats - the singer is still alive and cannot apologize for it. They have learned to win and lose, and they are committed to moving forward, whether fast or slow, to get to where they need to go.
Overall, the song is about taking control of one's life and being unapologetic about it. It's about letting go of fear and living life passionately, even if it means taking risks and facing uncertainty. The repetition of "I'm still alive" emphasizes the singer's resilience and determination to keep moving forward.
