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

It's about the singer for Trust Company, Kevin (Palmer), his wife Layla. She's an awesome person, and you would never guess in a million years that she has the struggle that she has. Kinda changed my perspective about the way that I complain about things, the way that I wake up sad for no reason, and then she wakes up just glad to wake up.

Generally when it's played live, Lacey says:

"This song is about a girl who went through a lot of pain and came out more beautiful because of it."

i heard the lead singer talking about a friend she knew, who was lke the happiest, and nicest, and most full of life person she knew despite the fact that she had brittle bone sydrome, or something like that, and she would have to spend weeks in bed when she broke a bone.

this song is too literal for me, i don't like how you just read the lyrics and there's nothing more to it. like, if you listen to di en grey or dimmu borgir, you'll find a lot of hidden meanings in their lyrics, but with this song.....it's just so literal, it's boring! of course, lyrics aren't everything, and the song just plain annoys me.

go to www.flyleafonline she herself, Lacey, says that the girl had a "severe and rare case of arthritis" and that she felt like " hammers crashing her bones" and she was still very positive, happy and grateful in spite of her sickness... so yeah =P

to the person who said she has a lisp, i dont think she does but i can see what you mean, in some versions of some of the songs she does lisp slightly, but i think its actually quite cute and makes the songs even better, so dont moan about it


this song is brilliant but it makes me feel bad for being upset when other people have it so worse :(

flyleaf rule!!

LOVE THIS SONG!!!! It's definitly about living life to the fullest and not to take things for granted. I was gonna say this was about a girl who tried to commit suicide but after failing to do so she realized what a great gift she had and got over her hardships and is now ready to be fully alive and love life and "Now she knows how to believe in futures"

k so im a lil confused..or so it may seem, but i believe this song just ties in with 1000 broken wings, so sick, and all around me...maybe all of her songs, but those are the main ones i listen too. and in one of her songs...she said you will heed now. why is this, bcuz shes explaining her life piece by piece in the words she is singing. and this song connects them to possibly better explain herself like an edit, but to where she keeps the songs intact to make them sound right.

i think.



Telling Layla's story spoken (maybe this is her I really dont know her name but it has meaning for her if shes writing it)
'Bout how all her bones are broken (life has been shattered for her)
Hammers fall on all the pieces (broken down even more....)
Two months in the cover creases (ridge in the covers...hmmm...I'm a lil confused, but i think its from past lovers or fucks which would come from the song so sick -- thru my eyes anyways)

Fully alive (but shes been thru soo much)
More than most (she feels like she knos more than others)
Ready to smile and love life (and shes with god now -- god has been helping her -- IN HER OTHER SONGS THAT I BELIEVE IM RIGHT IN.)
Fully alive
Now she knows how to believe in futures (she can see something for her in the future, her lifes not such a failure to her anymore she has something to look forward to heaven. and not only that but she also has words to use and become famous. )

All my complaints shrink to nothing (no one is hearing them listening to her )
I'm ashamed of all my somethings (maybe she wasnt good at much else -- ashamed of things she has loved "a passion for sex ... lovers ... her sins"
She's glad for one day of comfort (she feels like shes alone so when she gets comfort it feels like shes on top of the world. possibly could be bcuz of god too. he gave her something a life to look forward too, he gave her comfort)
Only because she has suffered (and she knows so much because of her suffering, and god has come into her life to help her on her feet. )

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

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.

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....

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.

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.
