Pretend You're Alive Lyrics
Oh summer life,
oh summer life,
crawling with these worms,
you're afraid of all their germs.
oh bask in life,
oh bask in life,
the weather gonna swallow you into the great divide,
oh enjoy life,
oh enjoy life,
climbing up those trees and breaking all your knees.
Watch angels in the morning become a devil's afternoon.
I will picnic in the evening underneath the crashing moon.
So fall in love while you can still hold your head up high,
and pretend that you're alive again.
Now autumn brings the beautiful things,
where all you give comes back to you like the crown upon my king.
Your life's a song,
so sing along before the silence swallows you and leaves you like a pawn,
watch angels in the morning become a devil's afternoon,
I will panic in the evening underneath the crashing moon.
So fall in love while you can still hold your head up high,
and pretend that you're alive again.
It's friends that leave you here in the end,
so hold your head up high and pretend that you're alive.
Your friends,
now ghosts,
are screaming "Bury us," they said,
while panicking,
my mind was broken.
oh summer life,

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
Also, I would like to add my interpretation of the meaning, though it is probably far from the actual meaning. It just seems to be about the struggle to enjoy life, how life should be enjoyed, but it is a pretense because the possibility of happiness doesn't truly exist in the mind of the person who this song is written about. I think, perhaps, I merely interpreted it that way because that is how I feel...
Beautiful song, by the way.
In an interview they said that most of the songs are based off of fictional stories that they wrote. This is probably based off one of those stories.

"So fall in love while you can still hold your head up high, and pretend that you're alive again. It's friends that leave you here in the end, so hold your head up high and pretend that you're alive" nothing more needs to be said.
