Alive Lyrics
Days go by my window
World slows down as it goes
Goodbye to last night
Lost my eyesight
Can't you help me see
Loving every minute 'cause you make me feel so alive, alive
Loving every minute 'cause you make me feel so alive, alive, alive, alive
Waking in the snow
Tracing steps with you
Swimming through the snow
Wrapped in velvet
Can't you help me see (they won’t get right)
Loving every minute 'cause you make me feel so alive, alive
Loving every minute 'cause you make me feel so alive, alive, alive, alive
Can you describe to me
All the world, that you see
Oh I need you so much, I’m just waiting on
Freedom is within you
Giving makes us feel good
Hello to our people
Say hello to the future
Freedom is within you
Giving makes us feel good
Hello to our ṗeople
Say hello to the future
Loving every minute 'cause you make me feel so alive, alive
Loving every minute 'cause you make me feel so alive, alive, alive, alive
Loving every minute 'cause you make me feel so alive, alive
Loving every minute 'cause you make me feel so alive, alive, alive, alive
World slows down as it goes
Goodbye to last night
Lost my eyesight
Can't you help me see
Loving every minute 'cause you make me feel so alive, alive, alive, alive
Tracing steps with you
Swimming through the snow
Wrapped in velvet
Can't you help me see (they won’t get right)
Loving every minute 'cause you make me feel so alive, alive, alive, alive
All the world, that you see
Oh I need you so much, I’m just waiting on
Freedom is within you
Giving makes us feel good
Hello to our people
Say hello to the future
Freedom is within you
Giving makes us feel good
Hello to our ṗeople
Say hello to the future
Loving every minute 'cause you make me feel so alive, alive, alive, alive
Loving every minute 'cause you make me feel so alive, alive, alive, alive

Is that all people really think this song is about? drugs? come on..
I'm just going to explain each thing by paragraph to what I think this song is about, here goes:
I think this is pretty self explanatory; life seems to be the same, constant unchanging things are happening which makes life boring, he is asking someone to help him see the world in a new light.
The chorus(which I LOVE) is super easy to interpret, the person that he is with makes his life fun, positive and he is "loving every minute" of it. although I can see the drug reference in this too haha
To me, I start to realize that he is reminiscing the good ol' days with this person and he misses that feeling very much and in the last sentence "cant you help me see" I feel like he saying saying he wants that person(who helped him before) to help him see life like he used to.
now this part is actually sung by a woman and it seems like she is the one that the main guy is talking about, i think what she is saying that he is asking for a lot from her because the world is not as beautiful as it used to be so she is waiting for a time where she can show him that beauty again.
In this part he is saying that we have the power/freedom to make the world a better place (maybe like people from 1st world countries helping out the 3rd world countries), a peaceful world where people help each other out. That will become our future and it is welcome to come into our lives.
In the end this song makes me wonder about that woman that person was looking for, maybe she wasn't a woman but instead she was a beautiful world with no worries that he used to live in as a child rather than the ugly world with hate and war that he sees now as an adult.
I love this song and especially this band! I have seen a couple of their interviews and in one of the them he mentioned that he wanted to sing about the beauty in the world, he said that he was always hearing about hell and ugliness of it that he wanted to sing about heaven and the beauty of the world.
This song doesn't have to be about drugs, it can be about a partner as well.
What? Connection with drugs can see only junkies without experience with love. Sorry for them.
It's about drugs again, I guess all their songs is about drugs. It's a nice song and the "Stretched" version is a real trip song.
Could be about sex too.
