| The Shins – Dead Alive Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
This song struck a deep part of me recently and is now my favorite Shins song by a long shot. To me it simply looks like a song about a bad dream or nightmare that was had falling asleep to the TV. It even reminds me of being in that terrible state of insomnia where you become neither awake or asleep and have trouble distinguishing what you see in either state. I've recently been in such a state while going through a really rough time personally. There was one night in particular where I had moments of ecstasy followed by tormenting fear of death or the dead. So I love this: "So tonight Dance and cry The dead alive" The song was almost fresh off the press when I experienced that feeling. So I'll always tie the two together. |
