Come Alive
Zendaya/Daniel Everidge/Keala Settle/Hugh Jackman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got your head hung low
Your skies a shade of grey
Like a zombie in a maze
You're asleep inside
But you can shake awake
'Cause you're just a dead man walking
But you can flip the switch and brighten up your darkest day
Sun is up and the color's blinding
Take the world and redefine it
Leave behind your narrow mind
You'll never be the same
Come alive, come alive
Go and light your light
Let it burn so bright
Reaching up
To the sky
And it's open wide
You're electrified
When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
And you know you can't go back again
To the world that you were living in
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
So, come alive (whoa)
I see it in your eyes
You believe that lie
That you need to hide your face
Afraid to step outside
So you lock the door
But don't you stay that way
No more living in those shadows
You and me we know how that goes
'Cause once you see it, oh, you'll never, never be the same
We will be the light that's turning
Bottle up but keep on shining
You can prove there's more to you
You cannot be afraid
Come alive, come alive
Go and light your light
Let it burn so bright
Reaching up
To the sky
And it's open wide
You're electrified
When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
And we know we can't be go back again
To the world that we were living in
'Cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open
So, come alive
Come one
Come all
Come in
Come on
To anyone who's bursting with a dream
Come one
Come all
You hear
The call
To anyone who's searching for a way to break free
Break free
Break free
When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
And we know we can't be go back again
To the world that we were living in
'Cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open
(Hey)
When the world becomes a fantasy
And you're more than you could ever be
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open (the world becomes a fantasy)
(Yeah, yeah)
And we know we can't be go back again
To the world that we were living in
'Cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open
'Cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open
So come alive (come alive)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
These lyrics are a call to action for anyone who feels stuck in their life, unsure of their purpose, and unable to break out of their current state. The song begins by describing the feeling of being trapped, of stumbling through each day and feeling like a zombie. The lyrics suggest that while you may think you have no other options, you can "flip the switch" and brighten up your life. The sun is up, the colors are blinding, and the world is waiting for you to leave behind your narrow mind and come alive.
The chorus repeatedly urges the listener to "come alive," to light their light and reach for the sky. The lyrics acknowledge that breaking free from your old life can be scary - you may be afraid to step outside and reveal yourself to the world. But as the song says, "No more living in those shadows." If you choose to come alive, you will never be the same.
The bridge of the song is an invitation to anyone who's bursting with a dream or searching for a way to break free. These people are called to come together, to hear the call and break free from their old lives. The song ends with a final exhortation to come alive, because with your eyes wide open, anything is possible.
Line by Line Meaning
You stumble through your days
You wander aimlessly through your life
Got your head hung low
You feel defeated and dejected
Your skies a shade of grey
Your life feels dull and colorless
Like a zombie in a maze
You are lost and running on autopilot
You're asleep inside
You are not living your life to the fullest
But you can shake awake
You have the power to awaken and take control of your life
'Cause you're just a dead man walking
You feel like you're barely surviving
Thinking that's your only option
You believe there are no other choices available to you
But you can flip the switch and brighten up your darkest day
You can choose to change your attitude and outlook, even in difficult times
Sun is up and the color's blinding
There are endless opportunities in life for new experiences
Take the world and redefine it
You can create your own path in life
Leave behind your narrow mind
You should let go of limiting beliefs and embrace new possibilities
You'll never be the same
Your life will be transformed for the better
Come alive, come alive
Awaken to your full potential
Go and light your light
Show the world your bright potential
Let it burn so bright
Unleash your passion and let it shine
Reaching up
Striving for something greater
To the sky
Reaching for the stars
And it's open wide
The world is full of endless possibilities
You're electrified
You are energized and excited about your potential
When the world becomes a fantasy
When life seems too good to be true
And you're more than you could ever be
You realize your full potential and capabilities
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
You are imagining a better version of your life while being fully present in reality
And you know you can't go back again
Once you have experienced growth and progress, you can't go back to your previous state
To the world that you were living in
To your previous way of life
So, come alive (whoa)
Embrace your potential and awaken to a new life

I can see the potential within you
You believe that lie
You are holding onto limiting beliefs about yourself
That you need to hide your face

You are fearful of trying new things
So you lock the door
You close yourself off from new experiences
But don't you stay that way
Don't let fear control your life
No more living in those shadows

You and me we know how that goes
I understand what it feels like to hide from the world
'Cause once you see it, oh, you'll never, never be the same
Once you realize your potential, your life will change forever
We will be the light that's turning
We can inspire change and positivity in the world
Bottle up but keep on shining
No matter how much you struggle, keep shining your light
You can prove there's more to you
You are capable of achieving great things
You cannot be afraid
Don't let fear hold you back
Come one
Everyone is welcome
Come all
Everyone is included
