Come Alive
Foo Fighters · Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace [2007]
Life belonged to runaways
Nothing here to see, no looking back
Every sound monotone
Every color monochrome
Life began to fade into the black
Such a simple animal
Sterilized with alcohol
I could hardly feel me anymore
Desperate meaningless
All filled up with emptiness
Felt like everything was said and done
I lay there in the dark when I close my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive
Still I tried to find my way
Spinning I was in the daze
Burning like a flame behind my eyes
Drown it out, drink it in
Crown the king of suffering
Prisoner to slave to the disguise
Disappear the only thing
Bittersweet surrendering
Knew that it was time to say goodbye
I lay there in the dark when I close my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive
No reason left for me to survive
You saved me the day you came alive
Come alive (16x, fade out)
I lay there in the dark when I close my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive
Come alive (15x)
Nothing more to give
I can finally live
Come alive
You laughing at me
I can finally breath
Come alive
I lay there in the dark open my eyes
(Come alive, come alive...)
You saved me the day you came alive
(Come alive, come alive...)
Come alive (11x)
Come Alive - Foo Fighters
Released on the 2007 album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, "Come Alive" stands as a quintessential example of the Foo Fighters' evolution during the mid-to-late 2000s. The track showcases Dave Grohl's signature drumming and a driving, anthemic rock sound that balances aggression with melodic accessibility. As part of the band's broader discography from this era, the song reflects their continued ability to craft high-energy tracks that resonate with their core audience while maintaining a distinct identity separate from their earlier grunge roots. The recording features the band's characteristic blend of power and precision, solidifying their status as a leading force in modern alternative rock.
