Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm ready, y'all, to rock this place real
I'm alive, the man with the second face
And I'm ready, y'all, to rock this place real
I'm alive, the man with the second face
And I'm ready, y'all, to rock this place real heavy
So come on, come on, you know where the floor is
I'm alive, the man with the second face
And I'm ready, y'all, to rock this place real heavy
So come on, come on, you know where the floor is
And if you don't, you know where the door is
Got nothing to do then to hypnotize you
Open up your ears and close your eyes
Get ready, second verse, get ready, second verse
And the first and the first and the first
I'm alive, the man with the second face
And I'm ready, y'all, to rock this place real heavy
So come on, come on, you know where the floor is
And if you don't, you know where the door is
Got nothing to do then to hypnotize you
Open up your ears and close your eyes
Get ready, second verse, get ready, second verse
Get ready, second verse, get ready, second verse
Get ready, second verse, get ready, second verse
Get ready, second verse, get ready, second verse
Get ready, second verse, get ready, second verse
Get ready, second verse, get ready, second verse
And the first and the first and the first
And the first and the first and the first
And the first and the first and the first
I'm alive, the man with the second face
And I'm ready, y'all, to rock this place real heavy
So come on, come on, you know where the floor is
And if you don't, you know where the door is
Got nothing to do then to hypnotize you
Open up your ears and close your eyes
Got nothing to do then to hypnotize you
Open up your ears and close your eyes
I'm alive, the man with the second face
And I'm ready, y'all, to rock this place real heavy
So come on, come on, you know where the floor is
And if you don't, you know where the door is
Got nothing to do then to hypnotize you
Open up your ears and close your eyes
Got nothing to do then to hypnotize you
Open up your ears and close your eyes
I'm alive, the man with the second face

Open up your ears and close your eyes
Got nothing to do then to hypnotize you
Open up your ears and close your eyes too
Got nothing to do then to hypnotize you
Open up your ears and close your eyes

The lyrics of Stretch & Vern's "I'm Alive" talk about being alive and ready to rock a place. The repetition of the line "I'm alive, the man with the second face" can be interpreted as the persona of the singer โ the man with the second face โ who is energized and alive, ready to take on the world. The refrain "Got nothing to do then to hypnotize you, Open up your ears and close your eyes" seems like a way of asserting dominance over the listeners, suggesting that the singer's music and performance is so powerful, people will be hypnotized by it. The line "And if you don't, you know where the door is" reinforces the idea that the singer is in control and confident, inviting anyone who isn't on board to leave.
The song doesn't have a clear narrative or storyline, but it seems to be more about creating a party atmosphere or energizing a crowd. The lyrics are repetitive, using the same lines and refrains over and over again, which is typical of dance music. The upbeat tempo and electronic beat is also geared towards getting people to dance and move along to the music.
