Alive Lyrics

I woke up with the rising sun
I was blinded by the light
Jump up and pull on my jeans
It feels good, they're a little tight

Step out in a crazy world
But then the sun resets your mind
Feel the weight of it all just drift
Off on a cloud to another time

Ooh hello hello!
Ooh hello hello!

I'm feeling alive again
Alive again
I'm feeling alive again
Alive again

Like the way that you drive your car
I like the way that you turn the key
Can't stop thinking about you baby
You don't know we are the real deal

Here we are on a perfect night
The sky is clear and the moon is full
Looking out at the universe
I thank the stars and the heavens for you

Ooh hello hello!
Ooh hello hello!

I'm feeling alive again
Alive again
I'm feeling alive again
Alive again

I wanna get you tonight
I wanna get you tonight
I wanna get you tonight and I

Ooh we're all alone
Ooh we're all alone

I wanna get you tonight
I wanna get you tonight
I wanna get you tonight and I

Feeling alive again
Alive again
Feeling alive again
Alive again
I'm feeling alive again
Alive again
I'm feeling alive again
Alive again
I'm feeling alive again
Alive again

Cover art for Alive lyrics by Goldfrapp

This song captures that first moment when you meet someone new. Sometimes, you get stuck in a rut, and life feels like you're dead or asleep. When you meet this person, you get excited about the person and life feels new again. Fresh. Like you're alive. Thats why the song starts with getting out of bed. The new person jump starts your enthusiasm, so the narrator gets up eager and enjoying the sunlight and the snug fit of their jeans. The greeting of "oh hello hello" seems to be to both the new feeling and the new person. The second verse solidifies that it is about a new person. The fact that the narrator seems to appreciate the way the person drives their car serves two purposes. It is a small thing to notice, so it shows the narrator really appreciates even the small things. But also the fact that the narrator notices the "driving of the car" give the impression of motion and change. Plus, the key is an obvious phallic symbol.

Ooooh, Hello, Hello!!!

i think the actual lyrics are 'I like the way that you turn the WHEEL' which actually rhymes with 'real deal' thus rendering the key/phallic symbol reference incorrect.... just saying :)
