I Am Made Of You
Alice Cooper · Other Songs - Alice Cooper
I was just a shadow
In the beginning
I was alone
In the beginning
I was blind
Living in a world devoid of light
In the beginning
There was only night
I was shattered
Left in pieces
And I found some cold inside
Then I called you
From the darkness
Where I hide
I am made of you
I am made of you
I am made of you
I am made of you
In the beginning
You were revelation
Or ever a salvation
And now I believe
All I wanted all I needed
Was someone to rescue me
I was drowning I was dying
Now I'm free
I am made of you
I am made of you
I am made of you
I am made of you
Here I am now
I can stand now
Cause your love has made me strong
And forever
you're the singer
I'm the song
I am made of you
I am made of you
I am made of you
I am made of you
I Am Made Of You

Recorded during the height of the glam metal era, the song features Cooper's signature theatrical vocals layered over a polished, orchestral arrangement that contrasts sharply with the raw aggression of albums like *Billion Dollar Babies*. The track exemplifies his ability to blend theatricality with genuine musicality, showcasing a softer side of the persona that would influence countless artists in the hard rock and heavy metal genres. Its enduring popularity highlights the song's role in establishing Cooper's legacy as a pioneer who could seamlessly merge theatrical performance with accessible pop-rock structures.
