Cover art for I'm Alive lyrics by Disturbed

Parts between *'s are fixed lyrics:

Never, again, will I be dishonored And never, again, will I be reminded I'm living, within, the world of the jaded They kill inspiration it's my obligation to Never, again, allow this to happen Where do I, begin? The choices are endless Denying the sin, my art, my redemption I carry of the torch of my fathers before me

The thing I treasure most in life, cannot be taken away There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice To change myself I'd rather die No they will not understand I wont make the greatest sacrifice You can't predit where the outcome lies You'll never take me alive

Change, again, cannot be considered I rage, again, dispelling my anger Where do I begin? The choices are endless. My art my redemption, my only salvation I carry, the gift, that I have been blessed with My soul is adrift in oceans of madness Repairing, the rift, that you have created I am not alone, brothers give me your arms now

I'm no Slave, are you feeling brave? Or have you gone out of your mind? No more games It won't feel the same if I hold my anger inside There's no meaning My soul is bleeding I've had enough of your kind One suggestion, use your descretion Before you label me blind

(I think here he's saying that everything we have, we built from inspiration and creativity... and they're slowing trying to take that from us, telling us to be the same as everyone else so we cant "label anyone to hurt them" like the dress-code bullshit. I strongly agree with what he's saying here, Keep your indeviduality and be creative. Carry the torch that your forefathers lit, keep your inspiration and create more, be an artist because deep down everyone is an artist just overbrimmed with potential and ideas. I've met these guys =) They strongly believe that everyone is a fountain of potential, and believe me when I say they'd bow down to you to watch you succeed before they let you bow to them. Last thing is when he says:

"One suggestion, use your descretion Before you label me blind"

I think he's trying to get the point across to listen to someone, hear them out and let them be unique before you say they're crazy, or stupid, or whatever you might say. I remember in High school I use to wear an undershirt (Long Johns lol) in the winter. It was cold, and i could give a fuck less what anyone thought... Everyone called me a retard that didnt fit in. Like I cared. Now I see people doing the same, and shirts all over the place with just a sleeve sewed in as a fashion statement. Seriously now, wtf. Listen before you judge)
