Meat Loaf - Alive Lyrics






I'm still alive
Must have been a miracle
It's been a hell of a ride
Destination still unknown
It's a fact of life:
If you make one wrong move with a gun to your head
You better walk the line or you'll be left for dead

I'm a runaway train on a broken track
I'm a ticker on a bomb, that you can't turn back this time
That's right
I got away with it all and I'm still alive
Let the end of the world come tumbling down
I'll be the last man standing on the ground
As long as hot blood runs through my veins
I'm still alive

Lost in the night
Feeling so invisible
Oh, a dead man walking the wire
High above the Devil's net
That's made of fire
And it's a long way down from the top of the world
You better look around or you're gonna get burned

I'm a runaway train on a broken track
I'm a ticker on a bomb, that you can't turn back this time
That's right
I got away with it all and I'm still alive
Let the end of the world come tumbling down
I'll be the last man standing on the ground
And as the dust clears look in my eyes
I'm still alive
I'm still alive

The darkest night ain't black enough
To keep the morning light from shinin'
The highest wall ain't tall enough
To keep the smallest man from climbin'

The more that you resist the tide
The more it pulls you in
The more you hang on for your life

(I'm a runaway train on a broken track)
(I'm a ticker on a bomb, that you can't turn back this time)
(that's right)
That's right
I got away with it all and I'm still alive

I'm a runaway train on a broken track
I'm a ticker on a bomb, that you can't turn back this time
That's right
I got away with it all and I'm still alive
Let the end of the world come tumbling down
I'll be the last man standing on the ground
And if my shadow's all that survives
I'm still alive
I'm still alive...

I'm still alive,
(I'm a runaway train on a broken track),
(I'm the ticker on the bomb that you can't turn back),
I'm still alive,
(Let the end of the world come tumbling down),
(I'll be the last man standing),
I'm still alive.

    I don't care how many times i have listen to this, it is a very powerful song and it bring me to tears knowing i am still alive after trying to end my life.

    C.... C....

    I understand what you mean, I've been to that place myself and I tell you it's not an easy feat to rise back but always remember you're never alone and there are people in your life who will help and make it worth it.

  26. F.... V....

    Who else is watching in [insert current year here]?

    F.... V....

    Not me, I was listening 😝

  27. T.... T....

    I play this song every single time I drive my car anywhere I go. It really is something I can't explain for sure.

  28. J.... j....

    Meatloaf created so many songs unlike anything else.....this one included. Probably one of the most underrated musicians now a days. When the group first came out and the few years following they were huge but it seems like everyone forgot about em.....Damn shame too.

  29. 0.... ....

    Apart from wrong lyrics m
    Fab vid. I love this song

  30. S.... A....

    Perfect song for Eobard Thawne/Reverse Flash

  31. T.... ....

    This song is quite underrated IMO.

    T.... ....

    Agreed. A lot of his songs were, unfortunately

    T.... ....

    Just means we get to enjoy them and the masses miss out.

  32. C.... ....

    My schools show choir did this song this past year and it was amazing!

  33. B.... M....

    Who else is watching in 2018?

    B.... M....

    Nope 19 keep up

  34. K.... H....

    This was my 2017 marching band show! I LOVE THIS SONG TO DEATH

  35. R.... ....

    NOICE!!!

  36. B.... M....

    This is probably the best song from meatloaf, I love it.
    How does this song only have 95k likes? Should be 10 times more

  37. I.... ....

    Drive Angry sent me here!

    I.... ....

    Me too! Damn Nicolas Cage that was dope!

  38. G.... T....

    The theme song of almost every video game protagonist

    G.... T....

    Yeah, like Cayd- oh wait nvm.

    G.... T....

    Especially Xenoblade Chronicles and Fire Emblem Awakening

  39. V.... D....

    alguém sabe se tem uma versão diferente pq no filme furia sobre roda quem canta da mais entonação e fala "alaaaive" e nesta ele fala "Aleeeve" sem muita vontade. alguém souber?

  40. L.... N....

    This song is my hymn. It's what gives me the strength to keep going when i feel almost dead inside and i need to ".. force your heart and nerve and sinew, to serve your turn long after they are gone,  and so hold on when there is nothing in you except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’ "

  41. E.... R....

    WHO ELSE IS WATCHING IN 2017?!

    E.... R....

    I am . Years back, I won tickets to the press release of this album and went with my big sister. We heard this song and she pumped her fist and yelled when, "As long as my shadow's all that survives, I'm still aive!" She died xmas 2011. She's still alive.

  42. C.... W....

    Oh, boner....not now.

    C.... W....

    That's kinda gay my guy

  43. P.... K....

    The anthem of my life.

  44. G.... E....

    I love this song but I think we are all wrong about the inspiration. See, Meatloaf had bed bugs at one point in life, and did everything to get rid of them, but they're a pain in the ass to exterminate. So he wrote this song from the bed bug's perspective....

    G.... E....

    fred fuchs IS IT ACTUALLY MENT TO BE FRED FUCKS?!?!

    G.... E....

    Meat Loaf don't write songs.

    G.... E....

    Meat Loaf doesn't write songs himself. He never did.

    G.... E....

    Don't ruin my favorite meatloaf song with the devil's creature

  45. S.... L....

    Left 4 Dead 2 brought me here. 

    S.... L....

    Um.....How? This song isn't even in Left 4 Dead 2.......Valve had their own music produced for its soundtrack......sorry but you were probably playing a modded version like I do on steam :) Though as you can tell all of my mods have to do with MLP 8D

    S.... L....

    Yeah, it must have been a moded version. Because when I completed a campaign the first minute of the song played. When I tried it home, with my version, it didnt. 

    S.... L....

    @Samuel Lord Yep modded.

  46. s.... ....

    I love this song and this artist. Totally touches the soul

    s.... ....

    I love this sonho and movie

  47. n.... ....
