Still Alive Lyrics

These are those days
When I can get no sleep
I'm so tried I'd like
To fall into Sleep
I fall in my Bed
But still I'm Alive

These questions in my mind
Are so much bigger than life
I have to leave them behind
I have to try to forget
That I am still in my bed

In my deepest fears
I'm losing you
Even if somebody
Tried to stop my heart
I'm still Alive
I will never give up

Just turn off the lights
Don't wanna see me die
I look like I'm dead
But when you look at me
I am still alive
Just open your eyes
Don't wanna see me cry
I'm right here where you want me to be
Fighting with myself

All I need to feel is your
Breath on my skin
This endless longing
Between You and me
We can't give up now
We're gonna make it somehow

In my Sweetest Dreams
I'm with you
Even if somebody
Tried to stop my heart
I'm still alive
I will never give up

Just turn off the lights
Don't wanna see me die
I look like I'm dead but
when you look at me I am still alive
Just open your eyes
Don't wanna see me cry
I'm right here where you want me to be
Fighting with myself

Just turn off the lights
Don't wanna see me die
I look like I'm dead but
When you look at me I am still alive
Won't you open your eyes
Don't wanna see me cry
I'm right here where you want me to be
Fighting with myself
I'm right here where you want me to be
Fighting with myself
I'm right here where you want me to be
Fighting with myself
With myself

I look like I'm dead
But when you look at me
I'm still alive

The Moment of our Love

In My Heaven

My My/Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)

About my sorrow

Dying Feelings

These are those days
When I can get no sleep
I'm so tried I'd like
To fall into Sleep
I fall in my Bed
But still I'm Alive

These questions in my mind 
Are so much bigger than life
I have to leave them behind
I have to try to forget
That I am still in my bed

In my deepest fears
I'm losing you
Even if somebody
Tried to stop my heart 
I'm still Alive
I will never give up

All I need to feel is your
Breath on my skin
This endless longing
Between You and me
We can't give up now
We're gonna make it somehow

In my Sweetest Dreams
I'm with you
Even if somebody
Tried to stop my heart
I'm still alive
I will never give up

Just turn off the lights
Don't wanna see me die
I look like I'm dead but
When you look at me I am still alive
Won't you open your eyes
Don't wanna see me cry
I'm right here where you want me to be 
Fighting with myself
I'm right here where you want me to be
Fighting with myself
I'm right here where you want me to be
Fighting with myself
With myself

I look like I'm dead
But when you look at me
I'm still alive

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i don't really know that much about jonne (he has written this song and also sings it), but in a way i can identify myself with the lyrics. i think it's about feeling tired and being sick of living, but there is still a person who makes you carry on.

in my deepest fears i'm losing you< in my sweetest dreams i'm with you< "you" is kind of the sun of your little world. it's the only things that makes your life worth living.

i look like i'm dead but when you look at me i am still alive< i have two interpretations for this: 1. when you look someone in the eyes, you have to be with this person, you are sharing some time. so being watched by "you" may is a proof of being together and i think that's kind of the most important thing, if "you" keeps you from commiting suicide. 2. you feel like your already dead, because there is just this little something ("you") that "saves" you and maybe you think that everyone can see that. so you want the "you"-person to look at you (at your heart and soul) and see, that you are still alive.

just turn off the lights don't wanna see me die< won't you open your eyes don't wanna see me cry i'm right here where you want me to be fighting with myself< i think this goes with a little bit of anger. "you" may doesn't want to see that you're dying (or you just think that it's like that), but you're not sure about it, because >you want me to be fighting with myself< shows that "you" wants you to fight against the part of you that wants to die. if that's true, "you" sees that you are sick and tired, but may doesn't show it very well.

at the end i have to admit something: for me, this song is about suicide and how you are able to carry on. it's my way to identify with the song. i think that probably it's not so dramaticly meant by jonne.
