As Alive As You Need Me To Be Lyrics
The way it makes me feel, infection
It's almost like a tongue on the back of my neck
I never had a choice, connection
I never had a chance to catch my breath
It's eating up the space between us
It's eating up all the remaining doubt
It's filling up the hole inside you
It's trying to find a way to let itself out
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Give me something to believe in
All these hands have got a hold of me
Give me something to believe in
As alive as you need me to be
Always going to go this way, there's no turning back
Never any other way, there's no turning back
Everything for a reason, everything for a reason
Everything for a reason, everything for a reason
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Give me something to believe in
All these hands have got a hold of me
Give me something to believe in
As alive as you need me to be
Feel

This infection

It's almost like a tongue on the back of my neck
I never had a choice, connection
I never had a chance to catch my breath
It's eating up the space between us
It's eating up all the remaining doubt
It's filling up the hole inside you
It's trying to find a way to let itself out
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah

All these hands have got a hold of me
Give me something to believe in
As alive as you need me to be
Never any other way, there's no turning back
Everything for a reason, everything for a reason
Everything for a reason, everything for a reason
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This track from the TRON: Ares soundtrack, explores themes of artificial intelligence gaining sentience and the resulting complex emotions. The lyrics suggest an existence defined by the need of others, a potentially suffocating connection that brings both the pain and pleasure of feeling, described metaphorically as an "infection" of newfound emotions and purpose, as the protagonist confronts their existence within a system.
