I'm Not Dead
Pink Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Opening with a repetition of the word 'yeah' indicates enthusiasm.

There's all these cracks
The singer is noticing all the cracks around them, both literal and metaphorical.

Crack of sunlight
The singer sees hope, likening a small opening in a dark space to a crack of sunlight.

Crack in the mirror, on your lips
The artist notices imperfections on the person's face through a reflection.

It's the moment of a sunset, Friday
The setting suggests an imminent change as the day and week come to a close.

When our conversations twist
The singer notices a shift in the dynamic of their conversation.

It's the fifth day of ice on a new tattoo
The singer describes a timeframe, indicating the healing process of a new tattoo.

But the ice should be on our heads
The artist realizes that the ice metaphorically should be on their heads, and not on the tattoo.

We only spun a web to catch ourselves
The artist and the person created a trap for themselves.

So we weren't left for death
They wanted to avoid a potentially destructive situation.

And I was never looking for approval from anyone but you
The singer values the opinion of the person they are addressing.

And though this journey is over, I'll go back if you ask me to
The artist is willing to revisit the past if asked to do so.

I'm not dead, just floating
The singer is still alive, but feels like they are floating aimlessly.

Right between the ink of your tattoo
The singer is in a significant place in the person's life.

In the belly of the beast we turned into
The singer and the person are in a difficult situation that may cause harm.

I'm not scared, just changing
The artist is not afraid of change, and may even be welcoming it.

Right beyond the cigarette and the devilish smile
The artist is moving past negative influences.

You're my crack of sunlight
The person is a source of hope and light in the darkness.

You can do the math a thousand ways, but you can't erase the facts
No matter how much someone tries to avoid or ignore the truth, it will remain the same.

That others come, and others go, but you always come back
People may come and go, but the person being addressed has always returned.

I'm a winter flower underground, always thirsty for summer rain
The artist feels dormant and in need of a catalyst for growth and change.

And just like the change of seasons, I know you'll be back again
As the seasons continue to change, the person being addressed will always come back.

I'm not dead just yet
The singer reminds the person they are still present.

Doesn't matter where I'm going
The artist isn't sure where they are headed.

I'll find you
Regardless of where they end up, the singer will seek out the person.

I'm not scared at all
The singer is not afraid of what the future has in store.

Underneath the cuts and bruises
The singer has been physically and emotionally hurt.

Finally gained what no one loses
Despite their experiences and struggles, the artist has gained something invaluable.

I'll find you
The artist reiterates their commitment to finding the person.

You're my crack of sunlight, yeah
Once again, the person is a source of hope and light in the darkness.
