Come Alive

Madison Love's song 'Come Alive' is a powerful anthem about overcoming adversity and finding inner strength. The lyrics convey a message of resilience and self-discovery, encouraging listeners to push through their struggles and emerge stronger. The opening lines, 'I can get you out of this / See you rolling up your sleeves,' suggest a supportive presence, someone who understands the weight of the listener's burdens and is ready to help lift them. This sets the tone for a song that is both empathetic and empowering.

The recurring theme of 'coming alive' is central to the song's message. Love sings about the internal battle between wanting to break free and the voices in her head that tell her to 'keep on playing dead.' This metaphor of playing dead represents a state of stagnation or surrender, while coming alive symbolizes a reawakening and a reclaiming of one's power. The lyrics 'Tell me the sky's about to fall / Tell me my back still against the wall / And I'll come alive' highlight the idea that even in the face of dire circumstances, there is an opportunity for growth and renewal.

The song also touches on themes of loneliness and self-worth. Lines like 'Take your emptiness / Say: You're in peace, and never look back' and 'Tie your loneliness, let the film that's playing God / And you're stronger than you thought' encourage listeners to confront their feelings of isolation and recognize their inherent strength. The repeated assurance that 'This won't be your last December / It won't be your last life' serves as a reminder that difficult times are temporary and that there is always a chance for a new beginning. 'Come Alive' is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience and transformation, urging us to embrace our struggles and emerge victorious.
