Still alive

I'll explain the meaning of the song whilst making some crucial corrections to the above lyrics, some which effect the meaning of the song itself.

I have changed I have changed just like you. Just like you.

This verse is about how Faith (main character from Mirrors Edge) has watched the city her parents faught to protect, turn from a 'dirty but alive' city, to a sterile lifeless utopia, and in this change she was forced to change in turn, with the city to be able to survive.

For how long? For how long must I wait? I know there's something wrong.

This verse, while seemingly simple is actually something which would be more transparent in later games, or for anyone who has explored the hidden messages behind the runner bags within the game, and messages shown on lift walls, that speak of a 'terrorist organization' named November, after the November Riots which is where the main character Faith lost her parents. On a simpler level he verse also reffers to knowing that what the city has become isn't natural.

Your concrete heart isn't beating and i've tried to make it come alive.

Again this verse is reffering to the city which has been robbed of it's pulse, clean and lifeless, the verse refers to Faiths efforts to restore the city to it's former state.

No shadows, just red lights. Now I'm here to rescue you

This is somewhat a double meaning also, no shadows reffers to the bleached lifeless city, in mostly white concrete, broken by striking colors here and there, however throughout the game the primary color used to signify freedom is red, with all objects you may interact with being colored red, the last line is Faith declaring that she will rescue the city.

Oh I'm still alive, I'm still alive. I can't apologise, no.

This verse is an apology to those that have accepted the changes to the city or been too afraid to defie them, and as referenced in the game, 'life a comfortable life'.

So silent, no violence. But inside my head so loud and clear. You're screaming... You're screaming... Covered up with a smile I've learned to fear.

This verse points again to the lifeless, soulless sheen over the city, no violence because the populus is subdued, but as the latter half says, Faith sees through the sheen and sees that the city is actually suffering, the 'smile' points directly at the look of the city.

Just sunshine and blue sky. That's just how it goes for living here.

Again points to the fact that other than the sun and the sky, theres nothing with soul or life, that living in the environment that's all you have.

Come fire, come fire, let it burn and love come racing through.

Rather cryptic but i believe this is a reference to fires burning away the mask the city has been given, once burned away it'll be given it's life back.

Learn to lose, learn to win, turn my face against the wind.

This verse is in refference to Parkour, where dangerous and unique motions are sometimes a 'leap of faith', but also in reference to the trailer/catch intro where Faith is stand atop of the crane with the wind blowing her hair.

I will move fast, I will move slow. Take me where I have to go.

A reference to the type of motion required within the game, flowing over obstacles at speed, or to shimmy across ledges slowly, both of which lead Faith to her goal, so she is using the city as it is, to rescue it.
