[Intro]

(Unhappy?) If you're dealing with a lotta woes

(Unlucky?) Then you got to listen very close

(Be happy) Keep on trying, never give up

(Undead, oh) Don’t forget that you're alive

The past you have been running from

That boring future yet to come

Still counseling you, oh my, oh my

Universal, peace, peace, yeah

(Unhappy?)

(Unlucky?)

(Be happy)

(Undead, oh, undead, oh, undead, oh, oh, oh)


[Verse 1]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, somehow feeling like

There's a fight within and it’s been going on so long

I don't feel it and (Don't even wanna try)

Past version of me (Of me, of me, of me)

And those figures of the old

Transparent ghosts over my route

The childish and painful memories

Have the deepest roots


[Pre-Chorus]

(Saddening?) Nowhere to be seen

(Say what?) Way better then? Irony

They all see the me of the past

When looking at me now

(Nonsense) Label I can't erase

(Yes) In essence, a complex

It's almost like something's possessing me

It is wrapping tight around

And won't loosen its bounds

The self I used to be before (Undead, oh)


[Chorus]

Still alive, time is a chain of your own path

To be alive is to always embrace your inner changes, on and on

Don't settle for unhappiness, don’t be complacent in distress

Not even trying to seize the joy and be happy, you coward

Oh, this world, oh, this world is one odd, one odd fantasy

Who knows what is coming up next, a monster or a snake?

This is a story starting after that encounter, finally

With people or monsters and spirits, back on topic, peace, peace yeah


[Post-Chorus]

Past and future

Can’t change the past

Past and future

Run for the future


[Verse 2]

Cu-cu-cutting in, somehow feeling like

There's nothing to be looking forward to

No hope to find (Cannot be defined)

That’s how I'm feeling ins—

There's nothing left to view

Lived long enough, nothing is new

No sign of anything wonderful

Waiting down the line


[Pre-Chorus]

(Saddening) Too much knowledge results in feeling

Like every myth is but another boring evolution

(Thrill is what I really want now)

Bored and down (Used to frowns)

And this is the way the guidance grew rising compliance too

It's like I’m going under a lid (I consumed everything)

This one or that one or, whichever

And now it all just tastes the same (Undead, oh)


[Chorus]

Still alive, time is a chain of your own path

In any era, your past and your future are in this very moment

Fulfill the life you're set upon, and truthfully keep moving on

Go for that happy ending (Undead, oh)

Still alive, I'm telling this to you, now

So never give up on pursuing your happiness and keep being human

'Cause being numb to suffering, always enduring everything

It's almost as if you're dead, a lot of corpses undead, oh


[Post-Chorus]

(Unhappy?) If you're dealing with a lotta woes

(Unlucky?) Then you gotta listen very close

(Be happy) Keep on trying, never give up

(Undead, oh) Be aware that you're alive

Drowning deep in unhappiness

Or seizing that true happiness

It's on you, on you, it's all on you

Universal, all embracing all creations (Peace, peace, yeah)

Past and future

Can't change the past

Past and future

Run for the future


[Outro]

Where people gather and go

You'll find all worries and woes

Oh, you gotta live on, through this tale of

Monsters everywhere that you can see
