"Help I'm Alive" Lyrics :::
[Verse 1]
I tremble
They're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble
They're gonna eat me alive
[Hook]
Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer?
Beating like a hammer?
[Chorus]
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft
Tough to be tender
Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
[Verse 2]
If we're still alive
My regrets are few
If my life is mine
What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going
I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing
And my heart still beats
[Hook]
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
[Chorus]
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft
Tough to be tender
Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
[Verse 2]
If we're still alive
My regrets are few
If my life is mine
What shouldn't I do?
I get wherever I'm going
I get whatever I need
While my blood's still flowing
And my heart still beats
[Hook]
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer (Beating like a hammer)
Beating like a hammer (Beating like a hammer)
Beating like a hammer (Beating like a hammer)
[Verse 1]
I tremble
They're gonna eat me alive
If I stumble
They're gonna eat me alive
[Hook]
Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer?
Beating like a hammer?
Beating like a hammer
Beating like a hammer
[Outro]
Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer

My group got to open for Metric earlier this year!! They’re sooooo nice and down to earth and incredibly tight live!!! I’d see them again anytime

[@connorgraham3063]

What band are you in by chance I might check it out

[@Germsburn1234]

@@connorgraham3063 we’re called “social cinema” out of Lincoln, NE. We opened for metric at the temple live theater in Wichita Kansas. Super nice band!! Very kind to a small band like us. There’s actually a little 5 minute KZbin documentary of the night we put on our channel called “Evening With Social Cinema” and the metric one is episode 2

[@DaRyteJuan]

Wow. Lucky. 👍🏻

[@TheNervousnation]

Metric helped me out of some very hard times, my affinity for them is unequivocal.

[@TheNervousnation]

@It's Okay ok

[@TheNervousnation]

@It's Okay Thanks for the recommendation. Pretty damn good!

[@hydra11b__18]

Same

[@andresbarriga5305]

They did for me too. That band is still part of my history.

[@kennypowers7759]

Me too fellas. Great therapy.

[@ActofChange]

Emily Haines really is one of the most talented people in tbe world! And her band is great too!! Love you Metric!!!!

[@trulyhuman6227]

Metric is so underappreciated.

[@frank-the-tank75]

Uhh not really ..

[@beanzburriton4263]

you can't appreciate something you don't know. they arent ran by a major record label so they dont get reported on much. it's about who's got your back, and they are indie. also hi

[@LJ-wg2tc]

I’m kinda glad people haven’t ‘discovered’ them too too much. (Besides being in movies, commercials, etc) They’re amazing and they’re still ours

[@flooseiscute]

I couldn’t agree more!

[@TEKKENMANJI]

Just like this comment is underappreciated. People are less inclined to pay attention to great art. It’s so much easier to look around and see all the Nirvana t-shirts and feel like you’re a part of something.

[@done1675]

This song is brilliant lyrically. So underrated.

[@Skipntosh]

💯. Always felt the same

[@srg3585]

Agree 100%

[@ryline666]

Everything that has ever happened is underrated

[@Certaintyexists888]

It is correctly rated.

[@TheTrocadero56]

Lead singer has such a great voice...the new Debbie Harry...who I also love. Rock on Metric!

[@timstevens3361]

great song great band great performance

[@ranvijaysinghal6813]

I sfter soo many years I still loving this song because of tvd

[@samsmusichub]

This was one of the first performance videos I saw am Metric and was away! Since 2009 I've seen them 3 times but that's not nearly enough! I'm gonna see them every time they come to Seattle! They're living legends!

[@bones615]

Still can’t believe I missed there most recent show where I live always wanted to see them

[@samsmusichub]

@@bones615 Hopefully they come back soon! They played like 20 songs from most if not all of their albums. I was lucky to happen to look up their schedule and see that they were coming a couple week beforehand. Probably one of my favorite bands to see live, their songs come to life so well live! Maybe I'll see you at the next one!

[@jennifersavage9872]

This song is definitely coming back to life. First time I heard it after I beat Dying Light 2. My #1 song right now. Absolutely love it.

[@SkyManagerNYC]

Emily Haines is a goddess and easily the most gifted female musician out there today! You killed it in Seattle last week Metric

[@joelstorey5578]

Beautiful voice

[@sierra6music]

hard to be soft tough to be tender.

[@twelvexes]

Incredible song. One of my all time faves.

[@tomcat13claws]

awesome smile at the end...love this song

[@KGBookkeeping]

Canada for the win! Metric is Canada’s greatest yet most under-appreciated group out there; some of the best!!!

[@nancyb7435]

Shear talent! The entire band! My God! Watch, listen and observe.

[@feel4films889]

And she wrote this one in my hometown in Buenos Aires

[@jamesnix4556]

The band instruments,the voice,the sound blended in harmony.... making me dance with many moves.... even doing the pop and lock... soon near Malaga Spain....I will be dancing with my future wife to this song 😊😊😊

[@boatlover2743]

One of the most underated canadian bands ever!! LOve this bands music

[@veeveeisallyouneed]

I could listen to this every day.... Oh wait, I do.

[@untamed94]

I Really Really Like their sound, it reminds of Really good 90's music

[@alvinthompson6333]

Craig was always the best late night show in the early 2000's :)

[@thomasgifford2996]

Craig was always the best late night show-period.

[@GarthWatkins-th3jt]

Yes that's a fact. What a riot watching Craig do his thing. I happen to love this song as well. It got airplay here in the Seattle area in 2009 and loved it when it came on, but I never knew the song title or the band who played it, I actually forgot about the song entirely, until about 3-4 nights ago. It's January of 2025 now so about 16 years went by before I finally knew who did it thanks to a radio station playing it and the information on the screen told me what I needed to know. What a bad ass cosmic song, for me anyway. I wish I could tell her and the rest of the band how heavy I'm triggered every time I hear this song which is almost never.

[@dragoslav3859]

Every single one of their songs has a hook that keeps me listening.

[@bumlazer]

I saw them live on the 30th and I love the little back and forth jump she does it's interesting.

[@CP-bz6iu]

What a song.!... so many memories in my mind...love it!

[@pedroaguilar9370]

We thanks all you and your bandmates. Keep rocking fellas.

[@paradoxdrifter]

Wow! Such a great performance.

[@guymandude999]

Excellent performance Emily! We love you!!!!

[@wajikhantv]

MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS: Craig Ferguson AND the Metric! !!!

[@darrelleffingeez]

Still my favorite group and THIS is the single that put them on my radar.

[@Jahlive69]

This song still ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@SPJBR]

Jeez! To sound like this live? She has tremendous talent, as do all of the other musicians. And this drummer! My god he's innovative.

[@chadmartfeld]

Check out the naked and the famous

[@cocktailmixer81]

I bartended for their concert at the arena years ago.. great show!!

[@ecinnian]

probably one of the best bands I discovered over the last couple of years, and I definitely have a crush on Emily!

[@Dude11456]

Flawless live version 😍 close to the recording (especially the musicians, and the vocals are on point) 👌

Thanks a lot Adam. What a pleasure to hear that, with period 's pictures.

Mega-talented and underrated.

Hahaha, I can't stop laughing at the way she's dancing. Those shoulder pumps are killing me!

great song

[@ayramaccallum2655]

She radiates beauty, intelligence, and class. I personally would love to see her move into acting. I think she would be an interesting superhero or con artist or just plane 'survivor'.

So a groovy nice Song, thank you metric ❤

[@hmlira]

I love metric!!!!!!!!!

i want metric in mexico, and i want them at least this year! :D a true fan from mexico!

oh Metric, how i love you so.

[@bicycleurbanist]

Rockers to the core.

[@Flightstar]

Cannot believe such brilliance with only 155k subs.. should be 15M. Hit the bell and like every song. which ain't too f'n hard if you love this band.

wow. I always watch Craig amd somehow I missed this. thx for posting.

[@juliawirch2454]

I've only ever heard this song...interesting. 👍

[@EvocaDigital]

This song is total hit , how come I am just discovering it in 2024 via Spotify ??

[@petekutheis3822]

I discovered Emily about 4 years ago I think. Such energy! It was Roon and Tidal that opened my eyes to things past classic rock.

[@hazelnut4991]

amazing

[@QnA22]

Awesome drumset!
