Alpha Lyrics

It's always better on the other side of it
Wanting what you'll never have
And it's a goddamn broken state of mind
Yeah, the one that we've been living in
It's never greener inside the mess we're in
Wanting what you'll never have
The less we are content the more we throw away
What little time we have left to grow
Separate mind from me
But still I have no adamant will to leave what little time we have
Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
It's envy eating away at the core of us
Wanting what you never have
And isn't it the point of living to breathe
Knowing this is all we need
It's never greener inside the mess we're in
Wanting what you never have
The less we are content the more we throw away
What little time we have left to grow
Separate mind from me
But still I have no adamant will to leave what little time we have
Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
Show them that we're not blind
Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
Fly past the withered trees
Ascend to holy air and breathe
Fly past the withered trees
Ascend to holy air and breathe
This want is menacing it will not leave us be
Can we purge this?
The bastard in our brain will chew until it bleeds
How did we get like this?
How did we get like this?
Step out in the rain
Feel life in our veins
Step out in the rain
Feel life in our veins

It's always better on the other side of it
Wanting what you'll never have
And it's a goddamn broken state of mind
Yeah, the one that we've been living in
It's never greener inside the mess we're in
Wanting what you'll never have
The less we are content the more we throw away
What little time we have left to grow
Separate mind from me
But still I have no adamant will to leave what little time we have
Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
It's envy eating away at the core of us
Wanting what you never have
And isn't it the point of living to breathe
Knowing this is all we need
It's never greener inside the mess we're in
Wanting what you never have
The less we are content the more we throw away
What little time we have left to grow
Separate mind from me
But still I have no adamant will to leave what little time we have
Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
Show them that we're not blind
Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive
And it's more than enough to paint the walls that are white
Can we show the ones who are blind?
Fly past the withered trees
Ascend to holy air and breathe
Fly past the withered trees
Ascend to holy air and breathe
This want is menacing it will not leave us be
Can we purge this?
The bastard in our brain will chew until it bleeds
How did we get like this?
How did we get like this?
Step out in the rain
Feel life in our veins
Step out in the rain
Feel life in our veins

What is the Meaning of Alpha?

While maybe not the intended meaning, this song spoke out to me and actually helped me through a rough patch. I believe this song is saying that literally everyone lives their life thinking they made stupid ass mistakes that took their life in a much worse direction than it could have been. This song points out that everyone lives this possible life inside their head, and it eats them up inside, especially when reflecting on how their life really went. "It's always better on the other side" ie, in reality, no matter what decision you made you will still have ended up in the state on mind that you are now, that the alternative would have been better. "It's never greener in the mess we're in". Again, whatever choice we make, we'll always later wish we went for the alternative. "The less content we are, the more we throw away". Stop thinking about your past mistakes; its ruining your quality of life and nothing can ever change the past. "Stop bleeding on the inside, we are alive". Live in the present, You're alive now, not in the past. Don't let yourself be wounded inside because of your previous mistakes. "But still I have no adamant will to leave". Let's be honest, we don't even want to let go of the thought of how it could have been. The thought of it is beautiful, and it kills you it isn't reality. This song is a reminder that everyone goes through this, and you can make it too :)
