This song is about life that must be LIVED, but not wasted in the office/corporation under someone’s orders, even if it looks great at first. You shouldn’t lose your potential there.
[Instrumental intro]
[Verse 1]
I get one more try (One more try)
Back straight, eye to eye (Straight, eye to eye)
I wore the right suit (I wore the right suit)
Then learned the right lines (Then learned the right lines)
I was an uptown man (I was an uptown man)
With an upright plan (With an upright plan)
Smiled on demand (Smiled on demand)
Shaked all the right hands (Shaked all the right hands)
And yeah I tried, tried lived that life
Empty lies, slip and slide
Nеver felt right to walk
Around like that
It's all "Run, run, gеt things done"
"Blah, blah, you'll go far"
Life's a little short to use it
Up like that
(Oh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
It's just a lot
I got one life to live
There must be more than this
It's just a lot
I got one life to live
There must be more than this
[Chorus]
Just lost energy
I've been a missing beat
I've been trying to move my mountain
From a Fever to a Dream
But I'm alive (alive, alive)
I'm alive (alive, alive)
I'm alive (alive, alive)
I'm alive
I've been lost energy
I was a missing beat
I've been trying to move a mountain
From a Fever to a Dream
But I'm alive (alive, alive)
I'm alive (alive, alive)
I'm alive (alive, alive)
I'm alive
[Verse 2]
You see you can't eat dreams
Know what I mean?
Boy, it's time to man up
Gotta give the dreams up
You can't talk like that
You can't dress like that
Got to face the hard facts
Got to run with the rats
And I say...
Lies, lies, slip and slide
You'll live yours and I'll live mine
Life's a little short to walk
Around like that
So just run, run, but I'll be gone
Just lie, lie, but I'll be fine
'Cause I ain't gonna lie
But one day, looking back
You're saying...
[Pre-Chorus]
That was my life
I had one life to live
I'm not sure what I did
Where is my life?
I had one life to live
I'm not sure what I did
[Chorus]
Yeah it's all energy
And it's an endless beat
And I'm gonna move this mountain
From a Fever to a Dream
'Cause I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
No more lost energy
No more missing beats
I woke up from my Fever
And I walked into my Dream
And I'm alive (alive, alive)
I'm alive (alive, alive)
I'm alive (alive, alive)
I'm alive
And I say...
[Outro]
No law
No law
No law over me
No law
No law
No law over me
