Lyrics for Staying Alive as interpreted by ruben

Staying Alive Lyrics
I've decided tonight
I'm staying alive just kicking and screaming
And I, I'm staying alive
Blood boiling and streaming

There are things far too dark to comprehend
Sleep on it one more night, one more night
My sad old friend

Alive
I'm staying alive
Alive
I'm staying alive
Kicking and screaming
Blood boiling and streaming
Staying alive

Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
The worst is over

Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
The worst is over

Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
The worst is over

Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
The worst is over

Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
The worst is over

Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
The worst is over

Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
The worst is over

Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
The worst is over

Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
The worst is over

Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
Doo do doo do doo do doo do
The worst is over

One of the things I love most about this album is the reoccurance of the little "Doo do Doo do Doo do Doo do" ditty. Its also on a song called 'Nonsense' that isn't on the album, followed by "It doesn't matter now, what the song's about". I feel like the repeating of it at the end of the album is like him reiterating that to himself, that he is more important that what he creates.

I do not even know what to say. This song brings a bundle of emotions into me that you do not find in any other song. It takes me away in a sea of thoughts, especially listening to it while lying in bed or falling asleep. Goosebumps and tears, it's what forces those hidden emotions out of us. Simply amazing, I registered just because of this song

I love how the "...worst is over" concept carries on from Gentleman Caller over to this song. It's beautiful.

I love Cursive's music, and I have to thank my sister for that. XP. This and Sierra get me all choked up, it really makes you think a lot because it's so simple and you have to interperet it by yourself what it'll mean to you.

This song has really grown on me. I think the chorus at the end, "the worst is over" part is the best ending to any album I've ever heard,so far.
It just ends the record so well..

This song brings forth so much emotion. I've had alot of personal problems, and i dont cry. I listened to this song, and it just all came. I couldn't believe it. I mean the depressing thing around me doesn't make me cry, but this song does. Almost everytime i listen to it i get a tear. But the first time i actually cried like a baby. I cant believe that someone could write music that touches me on that level. I cant believe it. An amazing song, and an amazing conclusion to the ugly organ. I know i sound like such a pussy, but believe me, im not the type to cry at the drop of a hat. This band is so amazing.

This is one of those songs that is so beautiful that you get shivers and goosebumps listening to it. I love all the lyrics, and the ghost chorus as well. It was such an amazing way to close the record.

This is truly the most meaningful song I've ever experienced. I've never considered scuicide, but nights when I feel like shit, feel like nothing's going for me, I'll listen. It's amazing. Sure, I love thousands of other songs, but this is the only song that's ever made me cry. I rarely ever cry, only when I've completely fucked up, but this song makes me cry because it's beautiful. It's the general agreement that only emo kids cry when they listen to music, but this song isn't about petty teenage love affairs. It's about overcoming struggles, weathering the storm.

It's so surreal, I'll just sit there, and this pressure builds up in my stomache, and I just stare into space. Then I start nodding, like the steady beat of the song is somehow pushing me along. You guys are exactly right about the goosebumps, the chills, the pure raw emotion that builds up every single time I listen. And then, without fail, my eyes glaze. Overcome with emotion, I blink, and a tear escapes, running down my face.
When I realize what's happening, my mind struggles to realize what's happening:

"I'm crying? Yep. What the hell? You're such a pussy dude. I never cry, what's going on? I can't believe I'm actua- SHUT UP AND LISTEN, THE SONG'S NOT OVER YET "

It's rediculous. An outside observer would think I was insane. But it just hits me unlike anything else I've ever heard. This song just seems SO fucking significant.
