Cursive - Staying Alive Lyrics

I listen to this song every time I find out about a passing of an old friend. Why? Because it makes me cry. Why, because I'm not in the same state as them, nor do I have the amount of money to get to my friends. Why???? Because I need to remind myself.

Song has help me so much

2019 where u at?! Damn I listened to the album so much. Probably one of my all time favorites. Been thru more than most but the worst is over.

This song has been a huge comfort to me since I discovered it as a teenager. I always go back to it.

A lullaby for all of those restless nights and tiring days.

Follow this up with Eclipse (Pink Floyd. Dark side of the Moon) to keep that flavor of motivation intact.

I've decided tonight
I'm staying alive
Just kicking and screaming
I'm, I'm staying alive
Blood boiling and streaming
There are things
Far to dark to comprehend
Sleep on it 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
The worst is over

This song has carried me through so many beautiful and tragic times. Favourite song of all time.

Narcan or narcant? That is the question...

This song has kept me alive on more than one occasion.

Somehow something enters in my eyes whenever I listen to this :(

Song saves my life. More than once. More than twice. <3

This song is the reason I don't believe in suicide and never will.

have you read camus?

blame truth brought me here

This song is one fourth of the album

Been abused and abandoned. All alone and not just broke but broken too. I decided to stay alive and struggle on, just because I may find something good somewhere, someday. To all you that used and abused me - I'm still here.

...the worst is over...

This song reminds me of being young. I burned on probably 10 different cd mixes. This is what takes me back I'm so in love with this song

This song has literally saved my life so many times since I first heard in 2004.

Ok. So... that was definitely not the Bee Gees. In the best way possible.

You get out of music what you bring to it yo.

One of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. I'll continue to carry this through my life. A jewel I love this song it gives me so much to think about.

Am I the only one driven *to* the brink by this number? Don't get me wrong... This song is fantastic. Hauntingly beautiful. Ridiculously forceful. One of my favorites. But it doesn't give me hope... It just resonates with the darkness... And I don't think the worst is over, ha ha... Do you? Ha ha. Am I the only one?

Hope hurt

The good things don't are nice

Live hurt
But is live

World is shit
But are things that are worth of figth
Is not about let all the shit
Is about learn how to live with it

in the beginning this song inspires me to keep on trying and fight for something or someone, but then the ending is soo perfect to put an end to this pathethic life once and for all. Cant see the point on another day.

are you okay?

im still alive, so yey?

I hope you hang in there... I'm trying, too. 💙 I know it's not easy... And it feels like it is endless and hopeless, yeah? No one gets how or why you are hurting, I'll bet. My mom killed herself a few years back... And while everyone around me wondered why she did it to us, I can only wonder how she held on as long as she did. I feel it, too. I hope you know you aren't alone, even if those around you don't get it... It's not that they don't care, it's just that they're not wired the same way. I'm sure you are loved. Try to see it, even if it looks different than you might expect. 💜

RIP Sam. Love you bud.

This band is awesome i love them!

when thinking about killing yourself, please just push play.

I have, many times.

While it is a great song I can't imagine that is great advice for the suicidal unless they're listening to it while driving to a friend's house or going for a nice long walk. Goals and hobbies also seem to help more than sitting on a computer.

First heard this in an epic music video about the end of the world. For me, the song represents the end of everything.

Everything is okay.

perfect.

Everything is perfect! This is my favorite song in the world! <3

I know how you feel

30 seconds in and I just burst in to tears. Haven't heard this song in a while and I just got punched in the feels with a bunch of emotions

It is bro. They did it on purpose. Exploring a theme. Pure beauty.

in 2004 lost my job, my apartment, my best friend od's on acid and became permafried, and gf left me and moved back across the us. this is one song that help me keep on going. Kicking and Screaming...

I mean yeah, this song is basically saying the same thing as "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M.......don't let yourself go.....but this was definitely a once in a while song when I had a fucking insane headache from depression, I would use this song to hear what my head felt like......Idk, anyway.....I thought you'd like to know that there's more people like you out there (me) ;D

Not this song per se, but cursive helped me walk away from it bro. Death Cab and Tool helped me even more though :) I just relate to them on a whole nother level, but Cursive is surfin the edge of my soul too :)

WOOO!!! lol

The worst is over.

You're not alone in anything, really.

Except in everything

I can't be the only one that this song pulled from the brink.

ahhhh greta cohn made this band so much more amazing

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with bad memories with this gorgeous song.

Mine are from 2004, by the way.

maximoplf the worst is over

@AdmiralAwesomm Yes it is. Now I have to deal with "new worsts".

This song is whats up! Throwback 6 yrs ago!

@StefanosArapoglou Yea, you should have been there...

I once played this at a small apartment party with this guy that had a terminal disease and had been in bad health since he was young. He said each of his days were agony. He was almost 30 we were doing mescalin and I bumped this song. He bugged out and died about 10 days later. I'll always remember the emotional impact of that.

SelfRevolution37 the worst is over

@BardoPhoenix Someone shot you and it jumped in front of you?

3 people are butt hurt

This song is my medication

The worst is over!

@chase312

That's exactly what it is lol. I think...bare with me now...they did that on purpose :o

@FulciLives69 This song literally saved my life.

Bardo Phoenix the worst is over

My organ isn't ugly. I think I'm gonna play with organ right now...

@Romancandle5929 Whoops, my b.

@chiaroscurokept Haha yeah you got what I said backwards

@chiaroscurokept I believe you misread the question, you guys are in accordance, though! yay!

@Romancandle5929 So back in 2003 when the Ugly Organ was released, Cursive hopped in the Tardis to travle forward in time and steal the melody from Kings of Leon?

i've replayed this song about 7 times and just realized it

Anyone else notice the "dodododototo" part sounds just like A Gentleman Caller slowed down. I love it!

Pulsion Mort

Lol

@erkiam35 bro i have no clue if your comment is actually true but remember this....YOU make a difference in this world

Sounds like Kings of Leon completely stole this chorus melody in that Sex is on Fire song

i needed to hear this

This song has saved my life before....Thank you Tim.

erkiam35 you’re welcome. :-)

I love this song. It really helped me through some tough times. :)

At it's mercy

this song punches my soul.

dooo doot doo dooot...the worst is over...

Unbelievable. Transcendent. For some of us, lifesaving.
