Alive! Lyrics

Cover art for Alive! lyrics by Omnia

This song is about feeling alive, not just knowing you are alive. As a folk lore band, omnia usually appeal to the feelings and emotions instead of the thoughts and explanations. The song starts pointing similarities between the singer and nature, but the singer here should be seen as all the ones listening to the song too. This feeling of oneness with nature is central to the message here.

Moving forward, the singer asks the ones listening:Can feel the roots that feed us? It is as a metaphor to being thankful to the land for food, as feeling thankful and respecting the soil. More than just a question, it's an invitation to the listener to get in touch with nature. Can you hear the words that I say? Has the same objective, to make the person feel draw towards hearing not only the song, but all around him, abdicating from thoughts and judgements about the sounds - only hearing them. Can you feel the music move you? Doesn't wwander away from the other two questions, for the meaning here is to invite the listener to grow counscious of the life he lives - as of touching, hearing and feeling it in the now.

The part in other language seems to be a ritualistic song in honor of Vana. I know nothing about it, so that's just my opinion.

Closer to the end, the singer says the similarities of life to nature itself, comparing it to the trees, wind and the wilds - there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain, there's only 'running wild', again, again and again.

Lovely song that's better listened just after waking up!
