“It’s a heavier song in some ways, but at its core it’s hopeful,” Tyrone explains. “We are – all of us – living in this transitional moment right now and we wanted to focus on the hope that the future holds for us all. To focus on the light at the end of this tunnel.”
[Verse 1]
There's a pain in my chest that I can't describe
It takes me down and leaves me there
When I talk to the night, I can feel its stare
It creeps inside and meets me there
[Pre-Chorus]
At least I'm alive
At least I'm alive
Believe me, believe me
Believe me, believe me
[Chorus]
I'm coming back again
I'm coming back again
I wanna make it right
I'm coming back again
I'm coming back again
I wanna live tonight
[Verse 2]
Therе's a pain in my chest that I can't describe
I closе my eyes, the day's the same
There's a thorn in my side when I hear my name
It makes me hide, I feel the shame
[Pre-Chorus]
At least I'm alive
At least I'm alive
Believe me, believe me
Believe me, believe me
[Chorus]
I'm coming back again
I'm coming back again
I wanna make it right
I'm coming back again
I'm coming back again
I wanna live tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
At least I'm alive
At least I'm alive
At least I'm alive
At least I'm alive
Believe me, believe me
Believe me, believe me
Believe me, believe me
Believe me, believe me
[Chorus]
I'm coming back again
I'm coming back again
I wanna make it right
I'm coming back again
I'm coming back again
I wanna live tonight

This song was really a light at the end of the tunnel for us, after having gone through a tough time reconnecting and talking about uncomfortable feelings and resentments between each other, and then reconnecting as a unit and being excited to get back on the road together.
A lot of Ty’s lyrical gems often come out when we’re just jamming on instrumental parts and creating a mood and an emotion. I remember we started this about a month before the pandemic, and I showed him this song by an artist called Lorn called ‘Anvil’, which is this really beautiful, weird and twis...
Yes! The song was awarded the prize for “Best Dance/Electronic Recording” at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards.
