    I was born in a thunderstorm
    I grew up overnight
    I played alone
    I'm playing on my own
    I survived
    Hey
    I wanted everything I never had
    Like the love that comes with light
    I wore envy and I hated that
    But I survived
    I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
    Where the wind don't change
    And nothing in the ground can ever grow
    No hope, just lies
    And you're taught to cry into your pillow
    But I survived
    I'm still breathing [4x]
    I'm alive [4x]
    I found solace in the strangest place
    Way in the back of my mind
    I saw my life in a stranger's face
    And it was mine
    I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
    Where the wind don't change
    And nothing in the ground can ever grow
    No hope, just lies
    And you're taught to cry into your pillow
    But I survived
    I'm still breathing [4x]
    I'm alive [4x]
    You took it all, but I'm still breathing [8x]
    I have made every single mistake
    That you could ever possibly make
    I took and I took and I took what you gave
    But you never noticed that I was in pain
    I knew what I wanted; I went out and got it
    Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't
    I told you that I would never be forgotten
    And all in spite of you
    And I'm still breathing
    I'm still breathing
    I'm still breathing
    I'm still breathing
    I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
    (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
    I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
    (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
    I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
    (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
    I'm alive
    I'm alive [4x]

  • @MbandiComposer
    @MbandiComposer 9 років тому +245

    So Sia doesn't show her face but she still has millions of views and sales. Other artists show everything but still don't cut it. As a musician, this gives me hope that it is still all about the music. Talking about music, imagine pop songs like this one remade with strings, piano, African vocal harmonies and Chinese Pipa.

      Take Gaga for example. Many of her fans have known about her capabilities, but the GP focused on her outrageous fashion and controversies. This year, she's "toned down" on those shock antics, and let her vocals speak for her. And, well, this year has been amazing for her.
      I hope to see more artists like this in the future. The other current ​artists pop stars should take notes.

    "I had a one way ticket to a place where all the demons go, where the wind don’t change and nothing in the ground can ever grow"

    • @grancaramelon
      @grancaramelon 9 років тому +22

      That's the unique thing about Sia, she's one of the artist who ever travel and exploit the depression and anxiety in her music. Her lyrics just give us a sense of what it means to be human, to be hurt, and to understand others' pain.

    Sia is one of the most successful mainstream who's getting more love than hate, I guess disguising herself from social media is working from keeping the haters away. But she can't be hated because she's a pro-humanitarian, she is a vegan and supports; LGBT rights, equality, animal rights, she donates money to charities, she's a person who doesn't care about fame but about wellbeing instead, and she simply can sing awesomely!

    • @lzaOfficial
      @lzaOfficial 9 років тому +1

      Her songs are raw and contains real human feelings, she battled with depression and suicide hence this song being about "Alive" she wants to relieve you all from being isolated, she wants you to "breathe" and tell you it gets better if you're a strong fighter!

    The fact that Sia overcame addiction and spent quite a while making music before ever becoming remotely popular is further proof that her singing is truly from the heart. She actually worked her ass off to get to this point in her career. No wonder she writes such meaningful lyrics and continues to stay humble day after day. She wasn't born into stardom, she earned it.

    God...DAMN. This song fits my current state of mind. And even though it's six years old, there is no dating a great song (irrespective of genre), and I think we can all relate to the lyrics, especially with the current state of world affairs. We took everything the world could throw at us. We had our bones break. We were walked on, trod on, kicked at, punched and gouged. We are bleeding, scarred and angry, but unbowed and unbeaten. We will rise, we will survive and we WILL overcome. WE. ARE. ALIVE.

    I was born in a thunderstorm
    I grew up overnight
    I played alone
    I'm playing on my own
    I survived
    Hey
    I wanted everything I never had
    Like the love that comes with light
    I wore envy and I hated that
    But I survived
    I had a one way ticket to a place where all the demons go
    Where the wind don't change
    And nothing in the ground can ever grow
    No hope, just lies
    And you're taught to cry into your pillow
    But I survived
    I'm still breathing
    I'm still breathing
    I'm still breathing
    I'm still breathing
    I'm alive
    I'm alive
    I'm alive
    I'm alive

    I found solace in the strangest place
    Way in the back of my mind
    I saw my life in a stranger's face
    And it was mine
    I had a one way ticket to a place where all the demons go
    Where the wind don't change
    And nothing in the ground can ever grow
    No hope, just lies
    And you're taught to cry into your pillow
    But I survived
    I'm still breathing
    I'm still breathing
    I'm still breathing
    I'm still breathing
    I'm alive
    I'm alive
    I'm alive
    I'm alive
    You took it out, but I'm still breathing
    You took it out, but I'm still breathing
    You took it out, but I'm still breathing
    You took it out, but I'm still breathing
    You took it out, but I'm still breathing
    You took it out, but I'm still breathing
    You took it out, but I'm still breathing
    You took it out, but I'm still breathing
    I had made every single mistake
    That you could ever possibly make
    I took and I took and I took what you gave
    But you never noticed that I was in pain
    I knew what I wanted; I went in and got it
    Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't
    I told you that I would never be forgotten
    And all in spite of you
    And I'm still breathing
    I'm still breathing
    I'm still breathing
    I'm still breathing
    I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
    (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
    I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
    (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
    I'm alive (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
    (You took it out, but I'm still breathing)
    I'm alive
    I'm alive
    I'm alive
    I'm alive
    I'm alive

    Man this song fr just me just look back at all I’ve been through and it’s a reminder that I made it through. Cause I’m ALIVE. I can finally say I want to be alive and actually feeling alive just makes the battles Ive been through have that much more meaning to them. For the first time in my 16 years of life I can really say I’m happy and mean it. True happiness is a great feeling.🖤
