Alive
Warhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never thought I'd be the one
Who has to bear the greatest pain
And that your hate is all I gain
I tried to make everything right
Stayed in the shadow of the night
I am a ghost that is unseen
Don't see the sun, no air to breathe
I live in sewers underneath
There is no helping hand for me
I count my days in agony
The time is slipping through my hands
I start to lose my common sense
Oh why have you forsaken me?
This dreadful nightmare shouldn't be
And when you think that I will not return again
You see me eat my lunch out of a garbage can
I won't give up, but I can't fight the feeling
You turn your heads away from all the damage that you're dealing
Despise the world that's up above
I want to know what's life and love
I make my plans for my return
My soul's on fire - feel it burn
The time is right, the time is now
I know I make it back somehow
And as I crawl out of my hole
My fierce revenge will get you all!
And when you think that I will not return again
You see me eat my lunch out of a garbage can
I won't give up, but I can't fight the feeling
You turn your heads away from all the damage that you're dealing
Living dead, down below - only reason to survive
Get out of the dark - you don't care, you don't know
I am bound to stay alive
Despise the world that's up above
I want to know what's life and love
I make my plans for my return
My souls on fire - feel it burn
The time is right, the time is now
I know I make it back somehow
And as I crawl out of my hole
My fierce revenge will get you all!
And when you think that I will not return again
You see me eat my lunch out of a garbage can
I won't give up, but I can't fight the feeling
You turn your heads away from all the damage that you're dealing
Still got my pride - and I know that I'm alive
Time for me to rise - yes I will destroy the hive
Bound to endless time - do you think that you're alive
Vengeance in my soul - time for you to pay that all
You won't break me down
Living dead down below
Only reason to survive
Get out of the dark
You don't care you don't know
I am bound to stay alive
The song "Alive" by Warhead portrays a story of a person who is shunned and hated by society, causing them to withdraw from the light into the sewers, living like a ghost who no one sees. This person feels bitterness and anger towards those who have wronged them and vows to seek revenge. The lyrics suggest that the person has been through a lot of physical and emotional pain, and the pain that they have suffered has made them want to take action to change their fate. The chorus of the song is about the person's anger, and that they will not give up no matter how much they want to, even though they can't fight the feeling of being alone and unloved. The main theme of the song is that even in the darkest times, one must hold on to their pride and remain alive.
The song incorporates elements of heavy metal, with guitar riffs and a powerful voice that enhances the angry mood of the song. The lyrics are powerful, and the melody and tone of the song is meant to evoke a sense of intensity and anger. The chorus is especially memorable and catchy, with the repeated verses "And when you think that I will not return again, You see me eat my lunch out of a garbage can, I won't give up, but I can't fight the feeling, You turn your heads away from all the damage that you're dealing."
Interestingly, "Alive" was first released in 1984 as part of Warhead's album "Speedway," a heavy metal album that was popular in Germany. Since then, the song has been covered by other bands, such as Skull Fist and Rezet, and remains a popular song among metal fans. The song's lyrics have been used in several movies and shows, such as the German movie "Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps," and the American TV show "Lethal Weapon."
Line by Line Meaning
Confused by life I walk alone
I feel lost and directionless in life
Never thought I'd be the one
I never anticipated being in this situation
Who has to bear the greatest pain
I'm undergoing immense emotional suffering
And that your hate is all I gain
The constant negativity directed towards me is hurting me even more
I tried to make everything right
I attempted to fix what was wrong
Stayed in the shadow of the night
I stayed hidden, concealed and unnoticed
I am a ghost that is unseen
I feel invisible and unnoticed like a ghost
Never knew what might have been
I never considered what my life could have been like
Don't see the sun, no air to breathe
I'm in a dark, suffocating situation
I live in sewers underneath
I'm in a dirty, unpleasant environment
There is no helping hand for me
I don't have any assistance available
I count my days in agony
My days are filled with constant pain and sorrow
The time is slipping through my hands
I'm running out of time to make things right
I start to lose my common sense
I'm becoming increasingly irrational and unstable
Oh why have you forsaken me?
Why have you abandoned and betrayed me?
This dreadful nightmare shouldn't be
This terrible situation should never have happened
And when you think that I will not return again
You assume that I won't come back
You see me eat my lunch out of a garbage can
I'm forced to eat from a dumpster
I won't give up, but I can't fight the feeling
I refuse to give in, but the negativity is overwhelming
You turn your heads away from all the damage that you're dealing
You ignore the harm that you're causing to me and others
Despise the world that's up above
I hate the world above me
I want to know what's life and love
I desire to understand the meaning of life and love
I make my plans for my return
I'm making plans to come back successfully
My soul's on fire - feel it burn
I'm passionate and driven to succeed
The time is right, the time is now
It's the perfect time to take action
I know I make it back somehow
I'm confident that I will return successfully
And as I crawl out of my hole
As I work hard to improve my situation
My fierce revenge will get you all!
My anger and determination to succeed will get the best of you all
Living dead, down below - only reason to survive
I feel like a living corpse, just trying to survive
Get out of the dark - you don't care, you don't know
You don't understand the situation I'm in and don't care to help
I am bound to stay alive
I'm committed to surviving and making it out alive
Still got my pride - and I know that I'm alive
I still have my dignity and self-respect and haven't given up yet
Time for me to rise - yes I will destroy the hive
It's time for me to overcome and succeed, even if it means defeating others
Bound to endless time - do you think that you're alive
I'm determined to survive, even if it's against all odds
Vengeance in my soul - time for you to pay that all
I have a deep desire for revenge and it's time you pay for what you've done
You won't break me down
I refuse to let you defeat me or break my spirit

Eric Schlosser wrote a book, and there's a documentary called "Command And Control" about this incident. The tech that actually dropped the socket was finally able to speak about the incident - it took him 40 years to be able to do it and it still chokes him up. I can only imagine the grief and shame he must feel...something he'll live with till he dies, and I feel so bad for him.
Schlosser noted at the end that, in catastrophes (or even small mistakes), there's an effort to blame the little guy- "the worker who brought the seats cushions onto the plane that caught fire and crashed the plane. There's this instinct to blame the worker. If the system worked properly, dropping a tool couldn't send a nuclear warhead into a field".
That's an important point. Everyone at the top wants to blame the one person, yet no one thought to design the system to be fail safe from such a simple error. And no one thinks to point the finger at the designer.
@maxwellheintz2391
I saw the “Command and Control” documentary when it was on Netflix. It’s excellent. It’s probably still available on PBS’s website.
@jdoyle4811
Mind boggling that SOP's did not include safeguards of single specific designed tool for opening that one inch nut never mind having a tether on 8 lb socket that used an adapter. I know the guys were all young 20 somethings but the military engineers obviously had no risk management program. This refueling team was set up with the controls and safety procedures found in a country gas station.
@steviedfromtheflyovercount4739
@Jack d Agree.
@stargazer2504
@Jack d exactly! Ask any mechanic in ANY field if they've dropped a socket. Hell, there's a running joke about 10mm sockets *always* being lost. Why? Because sockets FALL OFF the wrench. These sockets were so big, just their weight would pull them off the wrench if turned upside down. What engineer wouldn't think of that as a potential problem while standing on a platform 80' in the air? I wonder if NASA had special / tethered tools when working on the launch pad, or at least fall protection? These guys were 20 years old. They didn't have decades of experience working with tools to think of these things. Not to mention- it's the military... if you aren't given the tool by the government, you don't just get to use your own, you use only what they gave you.
@kd1s
Yes indeed I read the book. I found it very interesting.
@gradycothren2267
I was only 9 when it happened but I remember watching the news with my parents about this. We lived around 55 miles from the silo. Even at that age I was scared because I had read about nuclear warheads and Hiroshima and Nagasaki. My family wasnt that worried but being a kid, it was nightmare fuel.
@livenfree
What did they report in the news? Would think this would all be top secret.
@dellingson4833
I live not far from the minuteman 3 missile silos here in North Dakota. So the midwest is still a target.
@richardroberts7261
I felt the same way as a kid back then.
