Still feel. by half alive is a song about feeling lost and finding your way back. This is from the perspective of Joshua Taylor, the lead singer. He wrote this when he was losing his roots and didn't know what was going to happen next. He wrote this song for people who also feel as if they are lost. He wants this song to give people hope, that even if you are lost you can find your way back.

Feeling closer to the stars
(Outer space)
I've been invaded by the dark
(Can't escape)

I think the space metaphor is a perfect way to display weightlessness of being lost. I also like how these lines show how these emotions can consume you just like space.

I can feel a kick down in my soul
And it's pulling me back to Earth to let me know

These lines are a pivotal moment in the song. They represent finding your truest self. The artist says these lines are about "even when all seems lost,[you] can still go back to what is deep within [yourself]"(Taylor).

Falling forward, back into orbit

These lines express how scary the path to finding your way. It can be daunting falling into something you don't know (coming back to earth) when you were lost (in space) for so long.

When I'm furthest from myself
(Far away)
Feeling closer to the stars (Outer space)

I think this gives the song credibility as it is a relatable example. I think comparing feeling lost with outer space is a great way to express that feeling.

I can feel a kick down in my soul
And it's pulling me back to Earth
to let me know

These lyrics make the audience believe what he is saying. He is using very relatable language. Even when you feel lost you still know where you belong deep down, it's just a matter of making your way there

Overall the song represents hope and finding yourself.
When analyzing the lyrics, you can see that these appeals are effective in convincing their intended audience. When analyzing just the video, the message isn't as effective.
