This song delves into the struggle of depression, capturing the feeling of being caught between life and death. With repeated lines of being “practically alive,” it reflects the inner battle of wanting to survive despite the weight of despair and existential uncertainty.
[Verse]
I am alive, maybe too young to die, yeah
My life has just begun, yeah
I’m practically alive
My life is not a crime, no
I’m not gonna hide no more
From life, yeah, from life, no
I’m practically alive, yeah
I’m practically alive
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m practically alive
I’m not the guy who’s gonna fall down and die
No, I am still alive
[Chorus]
I’m practically alive, I’m practically alive
I’m not gonna die (Die)

I ain’t gonna die (Die)
I’m practically alive
I’m not gonna die
I’m practically alive
I ain’t gonna die
[Verse]
I am alive, maybe too young to die, yeah
My life has just begun, yeah
I’m practically alive
My life is not a crime, no

From life, yeah, from life, no
I’m practically alive, yeah
I’m practically alive
