Dead and Alive
H.O.S.H. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

LEAVING DADE COUNTY
ON A BUS WITH A BOUNTY
ON MY HEAD
WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE
RUNNING FROM THE HEAT
AIN'T GOT TIME TO SLEEP
YEA THEY'RE HAUNTING ME
DEAD OR ALIVE
GETTING OUT TOWN TOWN TOWN
DEAD OR ALIVE
GONNA PUT ME DOWN
DOWN DOWN
DEAD OR ALIVE
WHEN IT'S TWO IN THE MORNING
AND YOUR BACKED IN A CORNER
AND YOUR'RE STARIN
DOWN THE BARREL OF A NINE
TRIED TO GIVE HIM WARNING
BUT A BROKEN BOTTLE SCORES HIM
NOW YOU'RE STANDING
AT THE SCENE OF CRIME
GETTING OUT TOWN TOWN TOWN
DEAD OR ALIVE
GONNA PUT ME DOWN DOWN DOWN
DEAD OR ALIVE
GETTING OUT OF
TOWN TOWN TOWN
DEAD OR ALIVE
PUTTING ME
DOWN DOWN DOWN
DEAD OR ALIVE
GETTING OUT OF
TOWN TOWN TOWN
DEAD OR ALIVE
PUTTING ME




DOWN DOWN DOWN
DEAD OR ALIVE

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Dead and Alive" by H.O.S.H. tells the story of a person who is on the run, leaving Dade County because they have a bounty on their head, and they are wanted dead or alive. The person is constantly looking over their shoulder, running away from the authorities who are hunting them down. They have no time to rest, as fear is haunting them, and their only goal is to escape the town and survive, even if it means risking their life. The second verse describes the desperate situation the person finds themselves in where they are threatened and cornered by someone with a gun, and they try to defend themselves by warning them, but ultimately it ends in violence, leaving them at the scene of the crime.


The song talks about a theme that is found in many action movies and thrillers- the theme of being on the run and in danger. It depicts the feeling of anxiety and danger that the person feels and their fight for survival. The lyrics also have a catchy rhythm and repeated phrases that make it easy for listeners to remember and sing along to.
