Feel Alive Lyrics

Cover art for Feel Alive lyrics by ATB

Really love the song, it brings hope and joy with his clear sound and lyrics! I think Squishy's right! The guy in the song is talking about a past filled up with drugs and other sh*t and it killed his existence, his sensation of being conscious of his world, conscious of his own life.

One can notice he's talking to the drugs ("so pack your things, you'd better go"). In my opinion, this personification shows a strong relation with the chemic. But he decided to interrupt it, because it kills his "days, [his] innermost".

He stops the "belief in chemicals" and starts enjoying the "real" life, with its "open sky" and "million stars". "They open up my eyes and this is just because I feel � I feel so alive" means that the world was always beautiful, but he can't see it until he opens his mind, and free itself from the drugs.

"Meet me at the station or maybe in another life": the drugs will always exist, but not in his life anymore. The "station" is a metaphor of a new start, I thihnk. "I`ll turn back time" shows his determination to start again from scratch ("no regrets")

"I feel, I feel so alive": very strong sentence to me. The drugs became a prison and stopping takin them is like a wonderful liberation.

Anyway, this song is beautiful! Above the story of the man, I can feel alive too, the songs fills me up with positive energy! =D (I'm sorry if there are mistakes, I speaks French in fact)
