Alive
David Hasselhoff · Other Songs - David Hasselhoff
What is this feeling
Of power and drive
I've never known ?
I feel alive !
Where does this feeling,
Of power derive,
Making me know
Why I'm alive ?
Like the night it's a secret,
Sinister, dark, and unknown,
I do not know what I seek,
Yet I'll seek it alone !
I have a thirst
That I cannot deprive,
Never have I felt so alive !
There is no battle
I couldn't survive-
Feeling like this-
Feeling alive !
Like the moon an enigma,
Lost and alone in the night
Damned by some heavenly stigma,
But blazing with light !
It's the feeling of being alive !
Filled with evil but truly alive !
It's the truth that cannot be denied !
It's the feeling of being
Edward hyde !
Reprise 1 :
[hyde]
Animals trapped behind bars at the zoo
Need to run rampant and free !
Predators live on the prey they pursue !
This time the predator's me !
Lust like a raging desire,
Fills my whole soul with it's curse !
Burning with primitive fire,
Berserk and perverse !
Tonight I'll plunder heaven blind,
Steal from all the gods !
Tonight I'll take from all mankind,
Conquer all the odds !
And I feel I'll live on forever,
With satan himself by my side !
And I'll show the world
That tonight and forever,
The name to remember's
The name edward hyde !
What a feeling to be so alive !
I have never seen me so alive !
Such a feeling of evil inside-
That's the feeling
Of being
Edward hyde !!
Alive - David Hasselhoff
Released in 1987, "Alive" stands as a defining anthem of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal era, though it was performed by American pop icon David Hasselhoff. The track blends rock instrumentation with pop sensibilities, creating a high-energy sound that perfectly captured the late 1980s aesthetic. While often associated with his role in the television series *Baywatch*, the song's musical roots extend into the broader landscape of 80s rock and pop. Its enduring popularity stems from its infectious rhythm and the iconic imagery of the music video, which cemented Hasselhoff's status as a global pop star. The recording remains a staple of his discography, frequently covered and referenced in retrospectives on 1980s television and music culture.
