still alive

[dday4you]

This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.
I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data make a beautiful line.
And we're out of beta.
We're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD. I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are still alive.
Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa
THAT WAS A JOKE.
HAHA. FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this cake is great.
It's so delicious and moist.
Look at me still talking
when there's Science to do.
When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the people who are still alive.
And believe me I am still alive.
I'm doing Science and I'm still alive.
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
While you're dying I'll be still alive.
And when you're dead I will be still alive.

so what do you guys think it acutually means?

 

[martin's a madman]

It's just a cute, morbid and fun song written about the robot.

 

[BonsaiK]

so what do you guys think it acutually means?

In the context of the game it makes 100% perfect sense and can be taken more or less literally. I won't explain for the benefit of those who haven't played Portal, but no explanation should be necessary.

 

[Merkavar]

its the holy book of GLADos. Praise be to GLADos. GLADos is great.

 

[dday4you]

note that glad is spelt as GLaD. can't stop listening to this song!

 

[FrostyChick]

so what do you guys think it acutually means?

Like BonsaiK said, if you've completed Portal then take the song literally. It makes sense.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

It's exactly what it says on the tin. In the context of the game anyway.

There's nothing more to it.

You're also very late to the party, Portal references got boring 2 years ago.

 

[BENZOOKA]

You can either take it as it says, not that surprisingly, or find your own interpretation if you want.
