Song lyrics
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, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, 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...

I, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Hey I, boy, I'm still alive
Hey I, I, I, I'm still alive, yeah
Ooh yeah...yeah yeah yeah...oh...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...
I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Yeah I, ooh, I'm still alive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

This song is about Eddie's twisted life. he never met his father til he died. he was 13. his "father" he thought of was a no one. his mother tries to comfort. i cried about it when i knew this was the story

I LOVE Pearl Jam


I fucking love this song
It kicks ass!
The solo at the end is mind blowing and eddie vedders voice tis mazin.
The lyrics i love also, the story they tell, the first part of the story that is told through three songs. Alive is the first and also the best.

First Pearl Jam song i evurrr heard, i fell in love with it straight away, have loved the amazing band ever since.

I think the lyrics is great. Morbid? Yeah, but great!
Its because of songs like this, we love grunge.

Eddie Vedder makes the song so... whats the word? .. Brilliant!

..
And stop talking about the end of Pearl Jam.
You aint herd nothing yet!

Or whatever it is you say

I love this song so much! This song alone pretty much started the Grunge music scene and put Pearl Jam at the top of the charts!

I pretty much agree with every post for this song, except I never have really liked Nirvana. This song is one of their best meaning wise, even though almost every song has some kind of meaning. Pearl Jam is the best band ever and they will never die!!!!

"Dedicated this song to Kurt when he died. Good song none the less, but I think the whole dedication gives it a little more meaning (even though I thought Kurt was overrated, talented none the less)."

im sure kurt would have been happy about that, concidering he openly admited that he hated pearl jams music.

What a morbid song! But one of their best songs ever. How come Pearl Jam and all this good music, like Soundgarden, Nirvana are pushed aside by silly small wanna be bands like Staind, Good Charlotte and so on. I guess news get old pretty quickly for lot of people, when it comes to music, they tend to forget. Pearl Jam will nonetheless forever be inprinted in my music mind. Rock on Pearl!

Guys this song is amazing, and the solo is one of the best ever....the words are good although the message is slighty morbid. Pearl Jam, who i listen to occasionally, is an amazing band and doesnt get enough props for this song.
