Alive (feat. Runn)

Dabin's song 'Alive,' featuring Runn, is a powerful anthem of resilience and rediscovery. The lyrics delve into the emotional journey of someone who has felt out of place and struggled to find their footing. The opening lines, 'Sometimes it feels like I don’t belong here / Roots can’t take hold 'cause I didn’t fit,' capture the essence of feeling disconnected and lost. This sentiment is further emphasized by the struggle to see a way out through tears, highlighting a period of deep emotional turmoil.

However, the song takes a turn towards hope and triumph. The lines 'The fact I’m here is kind of amazing / Funny how destiny brought out the best of me' reflect a sense of wonder and gratitude for having made it through tough times. This shift from despair to amazement underscores the theme of resilience. The chorus, with its invitation to 'get high love and let it in, feel the flood of everything,' suggests a surrender to the overwhelming beauty and intensity of life, embracing the highs and lows with open arms.

The song's climax is a celebration of life and newfound clarity. 'Feels like I’m breathing in for the first time / Wide open eyes I’m seeing it all' signifies a rebirth, a moment of awakening where the protagonist realizes their strength and potential. The desire to 'live right now' and 'scream till my lungs give out' encapsulates the essence of being truly alive, savoring every heartbeat and moment. 'Alive' is a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity and find joy in the present, making it a deeply inspiring and uplifting track.
