Lyrics for Fully Alive as interpreted by Element SC 361

Fully Alive Lyrics
Telling Layla's story spoken
'Bout how all her bones are broken
Hammers fall on all the pieces
Two months in the cover creases

Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive
Now she knows how to believe in futures

All my complaints shrink to nothing
I'm ashamed of all my somethings
She's glad for one day of comfort
Only because she has suffered

Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive
Now she knows how to believe in futures

Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive
Now she knows how to believe in futures

Fully alive
More than most
Ready to smile and love life
Fully alive
Now she knows how to believe in futures

i love this song! etts the bestestest song ever! <333 anyways, i think the meaning is very obvious.

telling layla's story spoken = the singer [lacey] is telling someone's story. lacey is telling HER story. she doesnt wanna use her name in the song so she used one that sounds like hers.

about how all her bones are broken = lacey used tooh get beat by her mother.

hammers fall on all the peices = it seems like laceys life is really falling apart.

two months in the cover creases = after 2 months, lacey's life seems too really be ruined.

fully alive more than most ready to smile and love life = thats kinduh obvious. she wants to smile and love life more than most people would.

fully alive and she knows how to believe in futures = thats kinduh obvious tooh. she knows that her life is horrible, but she doesnt give up, because she knows how to belive in having a better future.

all my complaints shrink to nothing = this could mean 2 things. 1 could be that even though she complains to the people around her, and asks for a better life, things still dont change. or 2, that she sees how other people have worse lifes than her and that makes her life seem alright.

im ashamed of all my somethings = she is ashamed of herself.

shes glad for one day of comfort only because she has suffered = when she went to church, she felt better.



*** thats basicly what itt meant tooh meh. i really relate tooh this song. I LUFF FLYLEAF! MEH ALL TIME FAV BAAAAAND!

this song, believe it or not, is about lacey herself. when it say's "all her bones are broken" she means spiritually! she was an atheist until her grandmother took her to church.

im not really into this kind of music but this song stuck out to me when i was on the bus from school with a friend and she had me listen to this song and it really stuck out. to me it just means that a girl was in a bad spot in life and the singer was telling it from her persepective.

I believe this song is about a girl who has been through so much, yet she acts fully alive. It's very inspirational.

Awesome song. We all know the meaning.

Stand for what you believe. Don't back down, even when things look grim. Either you believe in something or you don't.

"Inspired in their footsteps, we will march ahead" (from the acoustic version, which I like better)

This song is wonderful. Its not a fav to me but it means alot. I see this song as a girl who has had many troubles but she still manages to hold on and look at the good in life. Then Lacey compairs herself to Layla, saying I complain about petty things but look how rough she has it and she still smiles at the world. I know these feelings too well.
we complain, then look at someone less fortunet, maybe we say hmmm I wont complain anymore I am blessed, but no matter what we will complain again, we are humans and we cant help it. So take this song to heart and relize that no matter who you are there is someone hurting worse out there.

Firstly, this song has great music..love it!

I believe that in this song Lacey right for herself..i learnt some things bout her life, you know, taff..and her childhood wasn't that good!so,when she find some happiness she realised how wonderful life trully is and she's ready to live it, she smiles and she's dreamin again..
That's my opinion but still the best thing bout music is that you can take it however you want.Songs always have as many meanings as many the ppl listening to em are!

great song...anyone else notices that on p2p networks, flyleaf's songs are noticeably different than the CD counter parts...anyway, the song is about a young woman whose been through some tough shit, and the light shines upon her...and shows her a better tomorrow...I think

I like this as it reminds me of my negitiveness last year, and my positiveness this year. I think it's saying... don't take things for granted, there are people out there that are worse off than you.
And that they're are people who try their hardest to be happy, even when they feel sad.

dpfj93, since you took the time to paste "Real Meaning!!!" so many times, you could have atleast taken some time to get your information correct. That has nothing to do with this song. You are confusing this song with the song "Tina". Which is about a woman who set herself on fire. I'm not trying to be a dick but get your facts straight if your going to try and act like a know-it-all.

This song actually means...

Layla, was a girl suffering from depression and set her self on fire and said, "Lord, if you are there take this pain away." Then she fell to the ground. She lost her kids, but she is now a faithful Christian and Flyleaf heard her story and wrote this song about her....

this song is beautiful but i have to say that illness she have.. that bone thing.. it's an physical illness and something like depression is an mental illness.
depression takes happy thing away from you. it's so mental. while the physical is something different.

but anyway i adore this song it's still very beautiful that she can wake up everyday and be happy about it even though she have to lie in her bed in pain in for two months. so beautiful.
