this song helped my best friend understand some of his trauma, so he sent it to me. It changed my perspective on trauma and mental illness. He's gone now. I just listened to this for the first time in months and cried. I'm starting my sophomore year of hs and i wish he was here with me. So long Ethan. Sorry for the long comment.
half.alive are so damn underrated. I hope to see them gain more traction. There are so many different elements to their music, thematically and stylistically, that are skillfully blended. Their lyrics are poetic and inspiring, touching on the human condition brilliantly. It's also refreshing to hear some elements of pop fused with older styles of music, bringing new life into the redundant and rehashed pop sounds we're usually bombarded with, which makes their music more accessible to the masses while offering something a little different than they're used to. It's a shame so many people still consume so much dead mainstream garbage while music with so much soul like this often goes overlooked.
@@4HL03 sorry bro! not a musician. i was talking about this part: maybe fear can’t define all the walls ‘til you enter and even blood couldn’t bind who you are at the center could it be that you’re more than the scars on the surface? as the heat is beneath all the ash of the embers crossing over
This song makes me feel like I’m riding in a convertible in the summer, down to a bigger city, and running through the parts of the shopping district, stopping in front of an art installation, and sitting and staring at it till I finally get the meaning behind it.
Lyrics: [Intro] (Maybe, maybe) (Maybe, maybe) [Verse 1] I feel the weight fill the space in the void of my own time I'm surrounded in pain passed down through my bloodline I have tried to escape from the maze but it’s no use These chains never break, never budge, never come loose Story's over Story's over [Verse 2] Standing still and it feels like I’m lost in a coal mine Inside, realize I'm at war in my own mind It's a place fear creates, I'll be here for a long time And you don't know where I've been, you weren't there on the front lines Story's over [Chorus] Maybe it’s not over Changing is found in motion Maybe it’s balanced when you’re moving Could stopping bring you closer? Maybe, tilts you over Leaning into the same old story [Post-Chorus] Crossing over (Maybe, ah, ah) (Maybe, ah, ah) Crossing over (Maybe, ah, ah) (Maybe) Crossing over (Maybe, ah, ah) (Maybe, ah, ah) Crossing over (Maybe, ah, ah) (Maybe, ah, ah) [Verse3] Maybe fear can't define all the walls ’til you enter And even blood couldn't bind who you are at the center Could it be that you're more than the scars on the surface? As the heat is beneath all the ash of the embers Crossing over Crossing over [Bridge] The way it's told, there’s no more room to grow The way it's told, there's no return home [Chorus] Maybe it's not over Changing is found in motion Maybe it's balanced when you’re moving Could stopping bring you closer? Maybe, tilts you over Leaning into the same old story [Post-Chorus] Crossing over (Maybe, ah, ah) (Maybe, ah, ah) Crossing over (Maybe, ah, ah) (Maybe) Crossing over (Maybe, ah, ah) (Maybe, ah, ah) Crossing over (Maybe, ah, ah) (Maybe)
Love the way they make words sound like they could be 3 different words in one. Coal mine, gold mine, coma. Fear creates, figure eights, for good days... and so forth. Genius band
I listen to this song every so often and it's like a little therapy session every time. One time, I had an assignment for my religion class for which we had to choose a song and analyse the lyrics in regards of our own lives. I chose this one and writing the essay gave me so much clarity about myself. I really reflected my problems and feelings and every time I hear this song I have to think about this assignment. This song has a very special place in my heart.
Think ab the fact that there are OVER 4.7 b8llion years on earth but we just happened to be alive the year this band was. NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A MIRACLE, CAN I GET A HALLELUJAH!!!!!

This album is "Pure Gold" I've been up all night and I'm gonna need some "Rest" and the room is "ice cold" so I'm gonna sleep well and then I'll have some "BREAKFAST" and look in the mirror and realize that I "still feel" like some different "creature"
This band is one of the few bands that I can say thank you for putting the lyrics in the description to. It really helps to listen and read to fully understand the song.
have you guys noticed a lot of their songs are about change and confusion?
Glad I'm not the only one I noticed. I like this theme, since I think about change and confusion a lot.
Me too
cassandra Them and twenty one pilots are my gems because of this!🤓
Wow I didn't know that but I like this song a lot.
This is why their songs are so relatable and real
This *MAY BE* my favourite song in the whole album
Schmittard Same
Thank you for an original comment
mrs
😂👏🏾
This *MAY BE* my favorite comment in all of TH-cam
I've only known half alive around the time still feel came out but I'm glad I stayed because this music is absolutely amazing
I mean that was like their 3rd song, they're still pretty new :P
*4th
Yeah same, when they released arrow i losted my mind
Me too, I'm glad I kept an eye on them
same. I went to their concert in Salt Lake City, UT this recent Wednesday and they KILLED it. It was the best experience of my entire life.

oh my god i hope you're okay now.
So sorry for your loss, though
Thank you. I am proud of you
May God bless you
I’m sorry you lost someone like that

So excited for this album! Already loving this song and I’m at 0:01
if this isnt a mood idk what is
Camille I actually can't stop listening
ja ne :/
THAT THIRD VERSE???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME THATS JUST PURE POETRY
There is no third verse.
There's only two verses...

@@malesam7347 I’m super to late to this but that’s the bridge
@@tirednoise yeah lmao idk why i said third verse i was obvs pretty excited. still love these lyrics tho!
@@malesam7347 it does sound a lot like the other verses! Also yeah, the message is so nice!! 😭 All of their songs are like free therapy
the fact that this has 700k views and I alone make up for at least half of them really tells you a lot about my character
1 second in and I already love it
so you love hearing nothing
ok this song and ice cold. are hands down my favs in this album.
huge BOPS
I AGREE
This song makes me feel like I’m riding in a convertible in the summer, down to a bigger city, and running through the parts of the shopping district, stopping in front of an art installation, and sitting and staring at it till I finally get the meaning behind it.
babydollbomberjackets: a meaning, keep looking!
I was born in the right generation. Good lord this is too good for words. Absolutely beautiful!
Dude same 😂
GOODNESS THIS WHOLE ALBUM SLAPS I CAN'T STOP LISTENING
LEGIT
Not to mention the bass
This band is so amazing I'm glad I get to be around while they get bigger and bigger! Love ya half•alive 💓💓
Lyrics:
[Intro]
(Maybe, maybe)
(Maybe, maybe)
[Verse 1]
I feel the weight fill the space in the void of my own time
I'm surrounded in pain passed down through my bloodline
I have tried to escape from the maze but it’s no use
These chains never break, never budge, never come loose
Story's over
Story's over
[Verse 2]
Standing still and it feels like I’m lost in a coal mine
Inside, realize I'm at war in my own mind
It's a place fear creates, I'll be here for a long time
And you don't know where I've been, you weren't there on the front lines
Story's over
[Chorus]
Maybe it’s not over
Changing is found in motion
Maybe it’s balanced when you’re moving
Could stopping bring you closer?
Maybe, tilts you over
Leaning into the same old story
[Post-Chorus]
Crossing over
(Maybe, ah, ah)
(Maybe, ah, ah)
Crossing over
(Maybe, ah, ah)
(Maybe)
Crossing over
(Maybe, ah, ah)
(Maybe, ah, ah)
Crossing over
(Maybe, ah, ah)
(Maybe, ah, ah)
[Verse3]
Maybe fear can't define all the walls ’til you enter
And even blood couldn't bind who you are at the center
Could it be that you're more than the scars on the surface?
As the heat is beneath all the ash of the embers
Crossing over
Crossing over
[Bridge]
The way it's told, there’s no more room to grow
The way it's told, there's no return home
[Chorus]
Maybe it's not over
Changing is found in motion
Maybe it's balanced when you’re moving
Could stopping bring you closer?
Maybe, tilts you over
Leaning into the same old story
[Post-Chorus]
Crossing over
(Maybe, ah, ah)
(Maybe, ah, ah)
Crossing over
(Maybe, ah, ah)
(Maybe)
Crossing over
(Maybe, ah, ah)
(Maybe, ah, ah)
Crossing over
(Maybe, ah, ah)
(Maybe)
10 minutes? You’re fast!
You're on it!
damn thank you!!
Omygash thank you!!!
I don't think you need to do that
I LOVE THESE BOYS BEEN HERE SINCE THE 3 EP SO PROUD TO SEE YOU GROW DON'T FORGET LONG BEACH!!!!! :DDD
woah that must have been magical
There's literally no bad second, no bad lyric in this song - PERFECTION
This band is one of the first to make me remember that music is poetry too
I'm not even exaggerating when I say this is the best song of it's decade.
They keep dropping new music and I keep feeling full alive.
I'm so excited for the album! I've loved every song from it so far 😄👍
Anonymous Being ||-//
Anonymous Being Half alive is better then twenty one pilots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@Thecleetus stop with that pls both are amazing
grid f true
Thank you for this blessing. Hope you all have an amazing day 💕
Ahhhh I had to choose wether to watch this Half•Alive video first or the new Cavetown one. Probably the toughest decision I’ve ever had to make.
Doodle Bug SAME
Doodle Bug dude its a whole album. But yes that cave town vid was nice;0
The possibility of possibility is possibly the best thing ever possible
All there songs are so good its something that makes you dance a little without even noticing
they mixing pop beat with indie lyrics and melody and synth 80s music. never heard a song like this and i love it
Love the way they make words sound like they could be 3 different words in one. Coal mine, gold mine, coma.
Fear creates, figure eights, for good days... and so forth. Genius band
This song is so full of hope i want to cry

WE 👏 NEED 👏 A 👏 MUSIC 👏 VIDEO 👏 FOR 👏 THIS 👏
i can’t wait to see you guys in october at webster hall!
I love all the music that this band makes. The lyrics are always so beautiful.
Every song is an absolute banger.
When the time comes, this will play at my funeral. What an amazing song.
Part of me feels people will get caught up in the cheery tone of this song and miss the deeper meaning behind it. Its a great message too
Ugh forever and always loving your music
Since day one to the end 🧡
0:01 I love this album!
Happy birthday Now, Not Yet :DD
I like their new sound in this album. I feel like it was able to separate them from any comparisons. It has a sweet and uplifting sound.
I love this song sm !!1!!!11
beautiful
The best band in the life 🥺💛💛
Ah. They are to helped me..
The best band half alive
@@poison6084 Not anymore.
“maybe there’s balance when you’re moving” :)
This song is timeless.
Right now this band is like our little secret, but I hope we’ll get to see them grow famous AS THEY DESERVE!
Think ab the fact that there are OVER 4.7 b8llion years on earth but we just happened to be alive the year this band was. NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A MIRACLE, CAN I GET A HALLELUJAH!!!!!
By far my favorite bop from these legends.
seeing them live tomorrow!!
This music is

The most exciting thing in my life at the moment is this album!!
this album is pure gold
I can't express how much I adore this song. ❤
this song is free therapy for me man fr. I don't think I get the full meaning behind the lyrics but somehow I relate to them a lot.
