Get Out Alive Lyrics
No time for goodbye, he said
As he faded away
Don't put your life in someone's hands
They're bound to steal it away
Don't hide your mistakes
Cause they'll find you, burn you
Then he said
If you want to get out alive
Run for your life
If you want to 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 want to get out alive
Run for your life
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)
Run for your life (Life)
If you want to get out alive (If you want to get out alive)
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 it to the other side
If you want to get out alive
Run for your life
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)
Run for your life
If you want to get out alive (If you want to get out alive)
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 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
As he faded away
Don't put your life in someone's hands
They're bound to steal it away
Don't hide your mistakes
Cause they'll find you, burn you
Then he said
Run for your life
If you want to get out alive
Run for your life
As she faded away
It's hard to imagine
But one day you'll end up like me
Then she said
Run for your life
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)
Run for your life (Life)
If you want to get out alive (If you want to get out alive)
Run for your life
Till I'm burning on the inside
If I go, I can only hope
That I make it to the other side
If you want to get out alive
Run for your life
If you want to get out alive
Run for your life
Run for your life
If you want to get out alive (If you want to get out alive)
Run for your life
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

This song to me, it pretty much means that you should be yourself. You need to live your own life and you need to live it the way that you want to. You can't be afraid of consequences otherwise you'll only hurt yourself. And if you put your life in someone else's hands, you'll never be happy, because it's not your life if you're not the one living it.
that makes sense cause for most of my life i've always tried to be something im not and it just trashed my relationships

guys, the song is about using Heroin, i should know i am an x junkie.......listen to the lyrics,
"No time for goodbye, he said As he faded away"
he just took a shot and is about to nod out.....
"Don't put your life in someone's hands They're bound to steal it away Don't hide your mistakes Cause they'll find you, burn you Then he said"
they could have mixed it wrong and you could end up dead (a real fear because all dope is different and you never know the mix you got till you do it)
"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"
yea i can't tell you how many times me and my girl said that, next lol
"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"
basically if i don't do the dope, it won't be long before i start withdraw (note to all users do not do dope withdraw is terrible, worse thing in my life i ever had to experience) " IF i go i can only hope to make it to the other side" he is saying if he does the shot, he can only hope to live thru it......my girl and i used to say "see you on the other side" before we did the deed.....
i could go on but you guys get the point.....take it from an x junkie (165 days clean today!) the song is about Heroin use and the lyrics completely support that!
NOTE: PLEASE NOBODY DO THAT HORRIBLE DRUG IT DAMN NEAR TOOK ME TO ROCK BOTTOM AND IT WILL DO IT TO YOU TOO!!!
@jay010385 Happy to see you on the other side Jay!! Proud of you (:

Haha, wow I think I took this song way too literally. I took it as, a man kidnaps or rapes a woman, she "runs for her life" and "gets out alive", then she is so traumatized that she begins abducting/torturing/killing people as well ("It's hard to imagine, but someday you'll end up like me.") But, I think I've just been watching too many horror movies/Criminal Minds lately. the drug addiction angle makes the most sense to me.
Aahh.. This is one of my favorite songs by them... I can definately see how it is about drugs... I would love to hear Adam say what this song is about, though...
One of the best ones by 3DG!
The song sounds like a dream almost, with people talking to him that "fade away"...that's probably not it but it just reminds me of a dream or something, with the music and lyrics..
Hmm..... love the dream idea but think of it as death and as the person is going towards the light they are being told by people they once knew that died are telling them (because from other lyric interprets theres a [hold on for] in it then maybe they are telling him it's not there time and telling them to go back and if the {Devil} finds them they will be sent to Hell a.k.a burnt!

I don't know to me this song is about some one seeing a life being lived bye others that they couldn't stand to live. To me they are seeing the lives and joy of others fading without so much as good by and realizing life will be no different for them if they don't get out. Even through all this they see even if they do get out there is no real hope of making it. So I guess you could relate it to a feeling of being hopelessly traped.
I think this song is about a person seeing every one they know living a life they couldn't bear to live. They see every one around them Lose there joy and fade away into nothing. Even though this person knows staying were they are will eat them away or make them burn on the inside they also know there isn't a good chance of them being able to servive any were else. I think it's a song about being traped and your only hope is barely hope it's just a slim shot.
@Daniel97531 you perfectly said a large part of what I know/ believe the song is about. But it doesn't end there.

Yes It's about getting out of that limiting and crappy cycle that you're stuck in.

It's about "get the fuck out of this heroin soaked lifestyle before you die . Fucking run now, don't wait for worse or better just get out "

I also see side stories, maybe someone got shot and the other lesson in the room is just paralyzed by fast. The dying person already knows what the other lesson needs to do which is get out now save yourself while you still have air and blood and fire in you to run.
And yeah the serial killer scenario....probably not what is about but I fourthly see that scenario too
What I like most about great lyrics is...no matter the exacting circumstances that the artist had in their head ,heart ...or soul. They were able to connect with all of us..to help us greive..heal..and give us all HOPE that we can all get out alive no matter how dark it gets.
I got this album for review
Its one of the better songs on the new album
The chorus is great, The verse's let the song down a bit i think
but its stilll pretty good
