Live was first inspired by the passing of a close friend of the artist. This song was written to have multiple meanings, both to relate to the initial inspiration of the song and to be a starting point for the main character’s journey in the album.
Live, live, live
Live, live, live
No please, anyone but you
You're the last person I thought I would lose
Taken from me/My trusty safety cushion
I'm not sure if I can continue in such a condition
I need any sort of distraction
To lower my level of anxiety and depression
We had our differences/But I looked up to you
There wasn't any tight spot you couldn't get through
With determination/Wits/And limited resources
You rose through the ranks and earned several badges
Comrades came and went/Some never quit
Those that chose to stay became your subordinates
You emphasized teamwork more than anything else
You ensured they thought of others before themselves
Although a statue should be constructed in your honor
We're no where close to being ready for your departure
Live, live, live
Live, live, live
LIVE, LIVE, LIVE
LIVE, LIVE, LIVE
So you're down cause of an unforeseen circumstance
Get up, show that problem how strong you are with your hands
Squeeze, choke, and strangle it into submission
Teach it respect/And many other valuable lessons
People depend on you/We follow your example
We seek advice from you when there's a crisis we can't handle
You're not obligated to help but you do without hesitation
It's our turn to repay you and we'll begin by screamin'
Live, live, live
Live, live, live
LIVE, LIVE, LIVE
LIVE, LIVE, LIVE
2..4...6..30
Breathe/Inhale that replenishing oxygen
Expel the threatening toxin
Somebody has to be the one to keep this world on track
If you go whose gonna' be the person to pick up the slack
Faith is something you have an abundance of
So much that if everyone else ran out you'd have enough
To offer each individual a lifetime supply
Then still be able to keep yourself satisfied
So you better keep on livin'/Don't you dare give in
I swear if you leave you won't be forgivin'
You're my inspiration/My voice of reason
Think about me before you go through with your resignation
When I'm mute/You turn my volume up
When I'm stuck you pull me out of any rut
Now we share moods/When you're content/I am too
When you're not I stress myself with what I can do
To boost you up like you do for me
I vow to save you during this time of emergency
I'll get whatever you need to make a full recovery
Because I will not let you die so swiftly
Live, live, live
Live, live, live
LIVE, LIVE, LIVE
LIVE, LIVE, LIVE
Live, live, live
(The cavalry has arrived)
Live, live, live
(With you we will survive)
LIVE, LIVE, LIVE
(We need you alive)
LIVE, LIVE, LIVE
(Come back to life)
