I'm Alive
Art Nation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

First one is on me
Fire breathin′ in
You can't escape
You felt it on your skin
It′s empowering
It lingers in the air
Like a violin
Singing in despair

But I don't like to see you passed out on the floor
Just like me
We are ready for more, ready for more

Pain!
But I'm Alive
No one′s ever felt it more than I
Pain!
But I′m Alive!
'Cause we′re leavin' the Earth tonight
We′re livin' it up tonight

I don′t lie today
Heritor's domain
The same heart and feeling
How am I supposed to be?
But I can surely say
That you take away
All that I believe in
And all that I'm achieving

Now we found ourselves the way we were before
But turn around
I am ready for more, I am ready for more

Pain!
But I′m Alive
No one′s ever felt it more than I
Pain!
But I'm Alive!
′Cause we're leavin′ the Earth tonight
We're livin′ it up tonight, livin' it up!

So would you like to see me pass out on the floor?
Just like you, but I am ready for more
Now I find myself the way you were before
Turn around
'Cause I am ready for more, I am ready for more!

Pain!
But I′m Alive
No one′s ever felt it more than I, no!
Pain!
But I'm Alive!
′Cause we're livin′ it up tonight
We're leavin′ the Earth tonight!

Pain!
But I'm Alive
No one's ever felt this way
No one′s ever felt it more than I!
Pain!
But I′m Alive!




We're livin′ it up tonight
We're leavin′ the Earth tonight!
