The song "I'm Alive" by Smk is a track about coming out of a dark time feeling renewed and alive. The opening lines, "set the way come together / things that change for the better," indicate that the persona has gone through a transformation and is now in a better place. The persona then says, "say loving I used to ache / and it will never be the same," suggesting that in the past they experienced heartache but have now moved on. The repeating lines, "you think I'm drown oh you think I'm drown / no n / why wouldn't you save me / I guess that everybody's going to kill that feel," further emphasize that the persona has overcome a difficult situation and has been able to stay above water despite feeling like they were drowning.
The chorus, "I'm alive, I'm alive," repeats several times to drive home the message that the persona has emerged from the dark times stronger and feeling more alive. The second half of the song features a spoken word section with lines like "don't be ashamed," "do that voice," and "listen, listen, listen." These lines are likely affirmations to the persona to keep living their truth and being themselves. The song ends with a final repetition of "I'm alive" to drive home the message of renewal and the possibility of starting again.
