Sure! "Alive" by John Mark McMillan is a song about the power of love and the transformation it brings to a person's life. The lyrics describe the narrator's vulnerability and the cracks in their "porcelain-like" skin. They have been hurt in the past, and it seems like they haven't fully recovered from that pain. The chorus expresses the longing to be something more, to be healed from the disease of being human. In the narrator's arms and eyes, they feel more than alive, suggesting that love has brought them to life and given them a sense of purpose and fulfillment. The song also touches on the struggles of the human condition and the mystery of both love and the condition of one's heart. The line "When I forget what it's like just to die in your eyes" represents the idea that being in love requires vulnerability and risking the possibility of getting hurt. The final lines of the song refer to the idea that a person can never truly leave the love they once had, and the metaphor of not being able to get out of their front yard portrays the desire to stay close to love, even if it may be difficult. Overall, "Alive" conveys the transformative power of love and the deep connection it brings, while also acknowledging the challenges and mysteries that come with being human.
