Cover art for I'm Alive lyrics by Story of the Year

Taken from an interview with Dan:

"I decided to write it about being buried by the weight of the world and wishing there was anything you could do to dig your way out of that feeling. A situation that I've been through many times. "

Thanks dude! I have been wondering the past couple of weeks what the real meaning of the song is.
