Letra de
Alive

A música Alive de Pearl Jam conta a história de um jovem descobrindo que o homem que ele pensava ser seu pai é, na verdade, seu padrasto, enquanto seu verdadeiro pai morreu. Foi inspirada pelos próprios eventos da vida do vocalista Eddie Vedder.

Son, she said
have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin'
sorry you didn't see him
but I'm glad we talked

Oh I ooooh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, ooooh, I'm still alive
Hey I, ooooh, I'm still alive
Hey oh

Oh, she walks slowly,
across a young man's room
She said I'm ready for you
I can't remember anything to this very day
'Cept the look, the look
Oh, you know where, now I can't see,
I just stare

Oh I ooooh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, ooooh, I'm still alive
Hey I, ooooh, I'm still alive
Hey oh


Is something wrong, she said
Well of course there is
You're still alive, she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be
Is that the question
And if so if so who answers who answers

Oh I ooooh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, ooooh, I'm still alive
Hey I, ooooh, I'm still alive
Hey oh
yea yea yea yea yea yea
