Come Alive

Cannons' song 'Come Alive' is a heartfelt exploration of love's transformative power. The lyrics recount a journey from loneliness to a newfound sense of vitality and connection. The opening lines, 'It was a long time ago / I walked the loneliest road / You know I walked it alone,' set the stage for a narrative of past isolation. This imagery of a solitary path underscores the emotional desolation the narrator once felt, emphasizing the stark contrast to their current state.

The chorus, 'Now, that you're by my side / I get this feeling, get this feeling / Like I'm hypnotized / Now, when I see your eyes / I get this feeling, get this feeling / I just come alive,' captures the essence of the song. The repetition of 'get this feeling' and 'come alive' highlights the profound impact the presence of a loved one has on the narrator. The metaphor of being 'hypnotized' suggests an almost magical or enchanting effect, indicating that love has brought a sense of wonder and renewal to their life.

The recurring question, 'Do you dream of me too?' reflects a deep yearning for mutual affection and reassurance. This line conveys vulnerability and the desire for reciprocation, which is a common theme in love songs. The plea, 'Tell me, where do we go? / Baby, I need to know / I'm tired of walking alone,' further emphasizes the narrator's longing for direction and companionship. The song beautifully encapsulates the transition from solitude to a shared journey, illustrating how love can breathe new life into one's existence.
