In a world where we often feel invisible, Khalid's lyrical masterpiece serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human condition. Through the lens of unanswered texts and missed calls, he explores the profound isolation one can feel even in our hyper-connected society. The song is a plea for understanding and time - time to make sense of life's bitter-sweet nature, and the harsh reality that sometimes it takes feeling close to death to truly appreciate being alive. It's an existential crisis wrapped in a soulful melody, reminding us that life can be sour but it's how we react that defines us. So, don't wait for the Grim Reaper's invitation before you start living!
Alive
Lyrics
Unread texts and missed calls
Told everyone I turned my phone off
Didn't ask for help, and now I'm lost
Life comes in phases
Consequences and mistakes
I'm sorry that it's taken me so long
Mister, mister please let off your powers
Give me half an hour
Or better yet a full one
Only sweet until it all comes sour
But life is what you make it
And then there's more to know
Gatekeeper
Can you show me more to life
Mainly I've been living out of spite
Grim Reaper
Just give me one more night
I need another chance to say goodbye
I shouldn't have to die to feel alive
Here's the thing with disappearing
You can yell and no-one hears ya
Times like this I need an ear
When I finally have so much to say
Wish I could see your face
And do what I had to stop the tears
Sister, sister please know that I'm sorry
I wish it could've stopped me
From falling off that hill
I'm only sweet until it all comes sour
But life is what you make it until it gets too real
Gatekeeper
Can you show me more to life
Mainly I've been living out of spite
Grim Reaper
Just give me one more night
I need another chance to say goodbye
I shouldn't have to die to feel alive
