History
Three Days Grace formed in 1992 under the name Groundswell in Norwood, Ontario, Canada. Groundswell's line-up consisted of five members: Adam Gontier (vocals, guitar), Neil Sanderson (backing vocals, drums), Brad Walst (bass), Phil Crowe (guitar), and Joe Grant (guitar), all of whom were attending high school when the band formed.
In 1997, after being disbanded for two years, the band regrouped in Toronto as a trio consisting of Gontier, Sanderson, and Walst. They also changed their name to "Three Days Grace". According to Gontier, the name stands for the question: If you had three days to change something in your life, could you do it? Once in Toronto, the band became acquainted with local producer Gavin Brown. The band gave him several years of material that they had created since forming, and he "picked out what he called 'the golden nuggets'", according to Gontier. Brown and the band polished the songs into a demo album which they gave to EMI Music Publishing Canada. The record label wanted to hear more material, and with Brown producing, the band created the song, "I Hate Everything About You", which attracted the interest of several record labels. The band was soon signed to Jive Records after being sought out by the company's president.
Three Days Grace (2003 - 2005)
After being signed to Jive, the band moved to Long View Farms, a studio in Boston, to record their debut album. The self-titled album was finished in Woodstock, New York and released on July 22, 2003. It was met with generally favorable reviews. Dave Doray of IGN said of the album, "Mistakes? There's not many." Allmusic reviewer Heather Phares said that on Three Days Grace, "the band's focus and adherence to alt-metal's formulas — coupled with tight songwriting and some unexpectedly pretty choruses — results in a strong tracks that are more memorable than the work of many of their peers". She did criticize the album for its simplicity, concluding, "Three Days Grace are definitely one of the most accessible alt-metal bands of the 2000s; they just need to add some more distinctiveness to their sound."
After acquiring lead guitarist Barry Stock in late 2003, Three Days Grace toured continuously and extensively for almost two years in support of their major label debut. The album peaked at number nine on the Canadian Albums Chart and number 69 on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum in the US by the RIAA in December 2004 and double platinum in Canada by the CRIA.
One-X (2006 - 2008)
While touring in support of Three Days Grace, Gontier became depressed and addicted to drugs and alcohol. He went into rehab after the band finished touring, and while there, began writing material for the band's second album. After leaving rehab, he rejoined the band in a cottage in Ontario to finish writing material for the album. In a 2006 interview, Gontier said that the album's material was more personal to him than the band's previous release, being based on the despondence, drug abuse, and rehab that constituted the past two years of his life. The album, titled One-X, was then released on June 13, 2006, and was guitarist Barry Stock's recorded debut.
One-X was met with generally favorable reviews. The Toronto Star complimented the album with a review title of "One CD worth buying..." and focused on its lyrics, saying, "The lyrics really speak out to you, especially if you're going through a tough time in your life." Allmusic reviewer Corey Apar praised the music, saying it "remains catchy despite its lyrical darkness". The album did receive some negative criticism. Apar pointed out that Three Days Grace is "hardly innovative" in their approach to writing music and that "further distinctive qualities" would help the band separate itself "from their alt-metal peers".
One-X peaked at number two on the Canadian album chart and at number five on the Billboard 200, selling 78,000 copies in the US in its first week of release. Its first single, "Animal I Have Become", was Three Days Grace's most successful, becoming 2006's most played rock song in Canada, and the album helped propel Three Days Grace to become the number one rock artist in airplay in the US and Canada in 2007, with Billboard ranking them as the number one rock artist of the year in 2007. One-X was certified platinum by the RIAA in the US on August 30, 2007, and double platinum by the CRIA in Canada in July 2007. Three Days Grace toured the US and Canada throughout the second half of 2006 and all of 2007 in support of One-X. In early 2008, they toured alongside Seether and Breaking Benjamin across the US
Life Starts Now (2009 - 2011)
From March to August 2008, to January to April 2009, Three Days Grace recorded their third album at The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Los Angeles, with producer Howard Benson, who had worked with them on their previous releases. The album, entitled Life Starts Now, was released on September 22, 2009. Critics as well as band members have noted the album's departure from the angry tone of the band's previous releases into a lyrical style that comes off as more optimistic. According to guitarist Barry Stock, the album's theme centers around "a new sense of freshness" and the idea that "you don't have to be stuck in whatever it is you're dealing with. Whether it's good or bad, it's your choice to make a change."
Life Starts Now debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, Three Days Grace's highest chart position, and sold 79,000 copies in its first week. The album was met with mixed reviews. Ben Rayner of the Toronto Star gave the album a negative review, saying it possesses "no sound of its own, just a shallow range between Linkin Park and Nickelback". According to Allmusic reviewer James Christopher Monger, who gave the album three out of five stars, Life Starts Now continues the theme of One-X, Gontier's personal demons, but with a "hint of sunlight". He compliments the album, saying it "treats the well-worn metal themes of anger, isolation, heartache, and redemption with the kind of begrudging respect they deserve, pumping out a competent flurry of fist-bump anthems and world-weary, midtempo rockers".[32] Harsher negative reviews came from Ben Czajkowski from 411mania.com as he described the album as "Boring, bland, trite, tired, tried, and true".
The first single from the album, "Break", was released on September 1, 2009. Three Days Grace embarked on a 20-date Canadian tour lasting through November and December 2009.[36] They co-headlined a January–February 2010 tour of the US with Breaking Benjamin and Flyleaf.
They embarked on a US headlining tour with support from Chevelle, and Adelitas Way starting on March 26, 2010 in Grand Rapids, Michigan and ending on April 16, 2010 in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Three Days Grace went on tour with Nickelback and Buckcherry on the Dark Horse Fall 2010 Tour. They toured with My Darkest Days starting in March 2011 in Seattle, Washington.[39] They also joined Avenged Sevenfold on their Spring "Welcome to the Family" tour in 2011.[citation needed] They toured with Avenged Sevenfold, Seether, Escape The Fate, and Bullet For My Valentine on the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar tour from August 2011 to October 2011. It was their last album under Jive Records and their first album under Sony Music Entertainment after the Sony BMG joint venture ended, moving all former BMG labels to the new Sony Music Entertainment.

PST, the same day as Venus' visible transit across the sun, the band announced that their fourth studio album will be called Transit of Venus and that it is set to be released October 2, 2012. They created an early promotional video that was released on their website, featuring clips of them in the studio as well as footage of the physical transit of Venus. Due to the rarity of this occurrence, they created the slogan, "some things will never happen again in your lifetime", reflecting both this uncommon occurrence as well as the mood that the lyrics and music will most likely take on. The first single on the album, "Chalk Outline", was released August 14.
On January 9, 2013, Three Days Grace announced that Adam Gontier was resigning from the band. Brad's brother, Matt Walst of My Darkest Days, would be touring with the band as lead vocals. They cited Adam Gontier's sudden departure due to medical reasons.

"No time for goodbye", he said

The lyrics to Three Days Grace's song "Get Out Alive" describe the urgency to escape from a dangerous and destructive situation before it's too late. The first verse sets the tone with a warning from someone who didn't make it out in time. The second verse is from the perspective of another person who is about to meet the same fate. The chorus is a call to action, urging the listener to run for their life if they want to escape their own potentially deadly circumstances. The bridge is a reflection on the internal struggle of whether to stay and face the consequences of their actions or leave and hope for a better outcome.
Overall, the lyrics paint a grim picture of the consequences of staying in a toxic environment. It's a warning to take control of your own life and not rely on others to make decisions for you. The central theme of the song is about the necessity of self-preservation and taking action to protect oneself from harm.

Line by Line Meaning
No time for goodbye, he said
There was no time to say goodbye before he faded away.
As he faded away
He disappeared without warning or goodbye.
Don't put your life in someone's hands
Do not trust someone else with your life.
They're bound to steal it away
Those people are more than likely to take control and ruin it for you.
Don't hide your mistakes
Do not cover up your flaws and errors.
'Cause they'll find you, burn you
If you try to conceal your flaws, it will backfire and have consequences in the future.
If you want to get out alive
To survive, you must leave quickly.
Run for your life
You must flee to stay alive and not end up like those before.
This is my last time, she said
She expressed it was her final interaction with this situation.
It's hard to imagine
It is difficult to fathom the outcome.
But one day you'll end up like me
One day, you will find yourself in the same situation as me.
If I stay, it won't be long
If I remain, things will get worse
Till I'm burning on the inside
I will feel the pain and troubles inside.
If I go, I can only hope
If I leave, I will only hope for the best.
That I make it to the other side
I will reach a more peaceful and prosperous place.
Hold on for your life
Hold tightly so you don't lose your life.
Burning on the inside
Feeling intense emotions or pain within.

Its hard to imagine but, one day you'll end up like me then she said
If you wanna "Get Out Alive" Woah
Ooh run for your life
If you wanna "Get Out Alive" Woah
Ooh run for your life
If you wanna "Get Out Alive"
(If you wanna "Get Out Alive")
Woah ooh run for your life (life)
If you wanna "Get Out Alive"
(If you wanna "Get Out Alive")
Woah ooh run for your life
If I stay it won't be long, till I'm burning on the inside
If I go I can only hope that I make to the other side
(Electric guitar ×2)

My life is the very same as yours with a single difference.
Every year I end up in an accident, or violent incident, failed attempts at suicide where I should have died but lived.
95% of my childhood friends are dead
All my actual family I loved are dead, including both my parents. My mother being last year after Christmas.
4 days later my gf was found already gone..
Im feeling this exact feeling today..
Looking at the Grim Reaper necklace that my mom and gf said they loved how it represented me my life, losing everyone and everything.
"He's you're only real friend cause he won't let you die, everything else he's going to take and you'll be last, be strong."
-last words of my mother on her deathbed.

Part of the lyrics are in the description already, but I'll put the whole thing here for you guys!
No time for goodbye, he said
As he faded away
Don't put your life in someone's hand
Their bound to steal it away
Don't hide your mistakes
'Cause they'll find you, burn you
Then he said
If you wanna get out alive
Run for your life
If you wanna get out alive
Run for your life
This is my last time, she said
As she faded away
It's hard to imagine
But one day you'll end up like me
Then she said
If you wanna get out alive
Run for your life
If you wanna get out alive
Run for your life
If you wanna get out alive (if you wanna get out alive)
Run for your life (life)
If you wanna get out alive (if you wanna get out alive)
Run for your life (life)
If I stay, it won't be long
Till I'm burning on the inside
If I go, I can only hope
That I'll make it to the other side
If you wanna get out alive
Run for your life
If you wanna get out alive
Hold on for your life
If you want to get out alive (if you want to get out alive)
Run for your life
If you want to get out alive (if you want to get out alive)
Hold on for your life
If I stay, it won't be long
Till I'm burning on the inside
If I go, I can only hope
That I make it to the other side
If I stay, it won't be long
Till I'm burning on the inside
If I go, if I go
Burning on the inside
Burning on the inside
Burning on the inside
I didn't copy and paste ANYTHING besides the last three paragraphs because I got lazy. Lyrics thanks to Google and Three Days Grace

I listened to this whole album when I was about 12 years old, over and over again, while my father was a raging drunk. It was soothing, I felt like these songs were a home for my mind and feelings. This was my favorite song off of the album. And still is.. but for different reasons now as a 25 year old.
For me, this song is a child's point of view who watched their parent go through addiction and toxic behaviors, and they are telling a story of when they choose life over the death that would come if they followed in their footsteps. "Don't end up like me. I know you've watched this your whole life and have the ability to be like me, but don't. Because if you want to get out this mess alive, run. Run for your life. If you stay like us, you'll burn."
I wanted my dad and my mom suffer from addiction. I refused to go down the same path as them and have fought through emotional recovery that could have so easily turned into an addiction recovery.

As a child I was physically and mentally abused, agreed I can confirm it feels safe in this kind of music.
