Memphis May Fire - Alive In The Lights Lyrics
From the beginning I knew I was different. I embraced it, but you didn't. Your normal life, 9-5, it's just not for me. I need to feel alive!
I won't fall like the rest of them, they've come & gone with the wind. I hear the doubt in the back of your mind but still I'll see this through to the end.
Maybe if you paid more attention, asked more questions & actually listened you would see this is not just a dream, but a path I've chosen that means everything to me.
Don't you see the minds that have changed? Do you see the lives that have been saved? Don't you care to see the difference I've made?
Listen closely, the highways call my name. Don't you see this is my everything? It may not seem right to you & you might not approve but it's real. This is the only thing that makes me feel.
What more do I have to do to finally prove myself to you? What is it that you need to see to finally believe this is who I'm supposed to be?
Most days I feel like your punching bag, but I will never let it hold me back. I just wish for once you knew how it felt to be brought down lower than everything else.
Don't you care to see the difference I've made? Listen closely, the highways call my name. Don't you see this is my everything? It may not seem right to you & you might not approve but it's real. This is the only thing that makes me feel. This is who I am! This is my life. I come alive in the lights! I come alive in the lights.
Don't you see the lives that have been saved? Listen closely, the highways call my name. Don't you see this is my everything? It may not seem right to you & you might not approve but it's real. This is the only thing that makes me feel.

Memphis May Fire Alive In The Lights Comments
Alive in 2019's Lights. And you??
Doing a vocal cover of this song!!!
Matty Mullins I think you meant, "The lives that Jesus has saved and difference He's made"
I'm learning humility is before honour as well, though.
Much love brother
THE LYRICS NEVER GET FUCKING OOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!
7 years later and that guitar echo at the very beginning is still a punch in the mouth
Throwback!!
Don't you see this is my EVERYTHING
This songs in my mind for a long long time... Now, this tb make me feel like I know why am I chasing my dreams. Still dont know who I am, but I know who I want to be.
Probably the best metalcore record released back in 2012.
My musical mind when rappers tell me I'm trash at battles cause there not smart enough to understand my punchlines lol
I just pictured a stripper saying that to her parents “THIS IS WHO I AM! THIS IS MY LIFE! I COME ALIVE IN THE LIGHTS!”
My favourite Memphis May Fire song by far.
Couple years later and it still hits me. That breakdown is pure emotion and truth down to a T.
This song goes out to the ones that live with me
Those lyrics are to good
I m stil listen in 2018
this song is my favourite song yet at the same time it makes me ball my eyes out. meaning behind it is too much
All the HIV and aids commercials in between songs is really killin the vibe
This song totally reminds me of my mother. She's not ok with my style, piercings, tattoos and my taste in music (she really hates it). She doesn't encourage me in anything. E.g. I want to be a psychologist one day, but she keeps saying, that all psychologists are crazy themselves and I should study something "normal".
Dude, thank fucking god for these lil holes we have called ears. <3!
Ooooyyy wooont fooll loooiikk thoo roooost offf thooooommmmmm, thoy kommoonmmgoooowoooothdoooooowoooooonnnnddd!!!!
Fredo Santana is the hardest rapper out there
So happy I found these guys!
theyre rubbing lube on me! HELP!
Goodness, I love this song
Meat !..!,
How can i get better grades? 0:28 - 0:33
You're a genius
ha good one
this shit hits home i wont fade i will be in another band i was made for this
Czysta zajebistość
my ex sent me this whilst we were together, a week later she left me. listening to the lyrics i think she was trying to tell me something...
3:01 this part? xD
@koki onPC pretty much the entire thing tbh but yeah that bit too haha
dont worry. there is many fish in the sea. you will find a new one :)
she not a good girl son, it better she left ya fam
This is my favorite song 😃
dedicated to this beautiful existence :)
lol its been a while. matty mullens the shit :P this song goes to life :)
Still my favorite MMF song, and my fav MMF album. Need more shit like this.
musica mais foda de todos os tempos!!! kkk
This song make me eargasm.
lol....damn all songs form this album are awesome mate
they made this song to criticise me
Sick breakdown!!
Forever following my dreams 👌🏼
"Don't you care to see the difference I've made? Listen closely, the highways call my name. Don't you see this is my everything? It may not seem right to you & you might not approve but it's real.

Epic Song!
AA or MMF?
Asking Alexandria
And both <3
Musically, MMF. Impressing little girls, AA.
both :)
Pure. Awesomeness.
Save My Life by Jarrod Alonge wasn't even exaggerating on how self righteous Matty Mullins is, holy shit.

"Maybe if you paid more attention, asked more questions & actually listened you would see this is not just a dream, but a path I've chosen that means everything to me. Don't you see the minds that have changed? Do you see the lives that have been saved? Don't you care to see the difference I've made? Listen closely, the highways call my name. Don't you see this is my everything?"- MMF. See what I mean?
+PixelSlashPlays I agree with John. I feel the same way about music. It really sucks when your own family disapproves of your career choice. I want to change the world... Even if it's not by much. I want to make people feel better... To bring healing... Matty probably feels the same
Yeah you guys are right, maybe I was just taking it at face value.
+PixelSlashPlays you can only really do that with pop lol
@ImmortalJeremyHD And Atilla
Full of Feels for my personal mean...
Long live riserecords!
the fucking breakdown
this is one of my favorite songs😂🙌😍😍😍
2:54 Awesome production 'glitch' effect, Love it!!!!!
I love this album so much, but the production is so muddy on the guitars for almost half of the album :(
sounds so much better live :/
Mizell went really downhill with his productions starting with this album
nick holland ur right, nd at least change those annoying drum samples or triggers, but i do like the muddy compression guitars cause it makes it sound unique but i feel u
😍😍😍😍
Only looked this album up because my friend told me to, I keep telling her I dislike the band and she insist this is much better than their new stuff. Still not really impressed...I like their cleans, but the screams are boring. There is hardly any range :/ Musically they are really good and talented though. Lyrics are on point.
their first album is the best
well couldn't agree more . people have different taste . I like this song tho and for sure I'd agree with your friend without doubt . if you like clean vocal maybe you should listen to Tres Empre - Sleeping Tiger . clean vocal with high pitch voice
+Farid Rusle I like screams just not theirs.
Fucking hell this list is just what im about at the moment.beautiful.
PS ; big hug from ex bassist MORE THAN A THOUSAND buica
Ooohhh my goosshh I love it.
Can someone explain the difference between metalcore and metal to me?
@Berk Erdinc That was a pretty terrible (and honestly wrong) explanation tbh.
+winter lol that dude has no clue wtf hes talkin bout. breakdowns are in lik lots of other genres and august burns red and parkway drive to name a few, are bands with no clean vocals
Berk Erdinc oh right cause deathcore doesnt have any breakdowns lol
This is some shit I would listen to right before going out to do some crazy shit. These guys send a message. 9/11 would crash into the twin towers m8
@gobeaturmomsmeat sure you'd just leave that here on YouTube? Some people might get this wrong, you know.
Im 21 bipolar with possible psychosis after an episode once im myself again ill listen to these guys, of mice and men and asking alexandria, saved my life so many times so if anyone gets the chance to meet these guys tell them thank you so much aha :')
wow I'm jelous! aha well I hope you had fun:D and ahhh deffinately same here!!:')
I haven't seen them live but my god I wish I could!!!:'( ahah
How could anyone dislike this!? This is like, the best song ever!
this song always be my favorite list in my phone (:
I met them at zia records...I'm a minor but I'm 16 and my dad hates Screamo but he has told me that he likes Memphis May Fire (not their music...he likes the actual band members) he says they are really nice guys
The whole album pretty much feels like "GO FUCK YOURSELF TRUSTKILL". And I love it. lol
just got into this band... wow, they are pretty damn good
Kyle M this is one of the hardest hitting albums, too. I bought this CD just so I could have the lyrics to every song on deck and tbh, the sound quality is still better than an aux cord.
Shea Bordley thats how it works, an mp3 compresses the sound. thats why when u finally listen to a CD it opens up a new dimension
Going to there concert on march 13 !!!
Literally shit in my pants because I haven't heard there new stuff in years I regret this so much
Wow you don't realize how powerful the lyrics are until you read them
This is the #1 song I love by Memphis May Fire! Stay wickedly awesome boys! Love you! \m/ ^-^ \m/
This has been stuck in my head all week! Good thing though, love the chorus! :3
I enjoy their old album songs than the new one. This album is the best i guess
is Matty the vocalist? cause if he is he sounds nothing like he does on their new album
This is by far the bests MMF song! <3 OMG I can't stop headbanging! :D
I just want everyone to know that the front album cover girl is on my team , I willfind and marry her. the teeth & greenishblack skin get me every time
No other breakdown from any song has given me chills as intense as the one I get from this song's breakdown; the build up of angst and pity anger all gushing and exploding stemming from deep rooted emotions during the breakdown is just bliss. I'm so glad to have ears.
i couldnt agree more
0:30-0:33 it sounds like he say's asked for erections lol
I love it as long as they growl, the chorus/refrain (or w/e its called) is too weak for my taste. Still a good song tho!
Being ice chosen this path and having bands not work and staying in the metal band like them path I all to relate to this matty is really the voice of a generation
Matty Mullins should be given, "The Best Ginger Singer Award".
Your opinion so whatever.
Adrian Beltran agreed
How have you never heard of Simply Red?
No thats my award
I want to bang them now.
i've known this band for a while now, never knew their songs had this much meaning, this makes me appreciate their music that much more, and makes me enjoy them a whole lot more! :) my day just became awesome haha
Loving this band so much
This made me think of that show dexter
I usually hate loud screamo music but memphis may fire is quickly changing my mind about screamo their lyrics are amazing and im starting to really enjoy their
@Still YDG'N no it cant because this isnt emo stuff maybe you dont know but screamo is the mix between the word scream and the word emo ,nu metal have scream too but anybody call nu metal screamo, just a stupid name
@Erick Souza really i could give 2 whole shits less. imma still call it screamo. lol
whatever man, im just trying to teach you the right name, anyways this doenst matter
@Your Lyrics do you read what you type before you post it or...
@Chase Douglas Thank you
fucking sick song, fits perfect with my life right now
This song describes exactly who I am.
I love the breakdown in this song as compared to that one note palm muted shit I hear in almost every other metalcore band
im drowning in how much this is me.
Guitars be like *CHUKUMM CHUKUMM CHUKUMM*
what in the world are you trying to say? lol
3:30 is the best part of this song.
All the songs on this album are really good, don't get me wrong, but they all sound the same.
I'M GOING TO SEE THESE TODAY OMF
This song hits me hard. I've recently made the choice to turn to God & my mom wants nothing to do with that. This perfectly voices things I've thought myself
I know this was posted 3 years ago, but I hope you are still doing alright in your walk with Christ. The world will reject you for your decision to follow God. Friends and family may turn their backs on you, but just remember that God is always there with you. Stay strong until the very end sister. I'm rooting for ya :D
Ariel Dohm I'm in the opposite situation as you
Challenger and the hollow sound so much more full and real than unconditional. These albums just had magic to em', but I personally feel like their new album is still great for what it's worth, but not nearly as feelsy as their past albums have been.
this song is like the anthem for struggling artist like myself
This is exactly my thoughts. All i want is to be a singer in a band and i work so hard writing lyrics and saving up money from work for my equipment, which is not cheap, and my so called "friends" and family have not been encouraging at all. They have no faith in me but i will show them all.
hey, i know this is 5 years late, but i hope you'll accomplish your goal mate
this song cheered me up alot after i got disqualified from the Navy.... all i have to say is thank you Matty,Kellen,Cory, Jake and Anthony for making this awesome song among all the others you have made
HIGH FIVE, BRO- I GOT DISQUALIFIED FROM AIRFORCE :D
I'm going back soon because apparently they won't take me at 7 pounds over weight...what happen with you?
@John Youssef Same I was 20lbs over but I recently lost 45lbs so I'm getting to ship on February 18th
i just discovered a new amazing band for me:)
100% my favorite song by them
God... 3:31..gives me goosebumps *-*
Wow, I found a new band to obsess over ć': OMG <3
I hate when people call this screemo. Pisses me off
The people i know call this a art
Who said that? Obviously didn't listen to the whole song
2:44 is probably my favorite breakdown of all time
Its up there with the finale of countdown to hell by crossfaith
This song is fucking incredible. One of my favorites of MMF's. Matty is an absolutely BRILLIANT lyricist.
