Cover art for Get Out Alive lyrics by Three Days Grace

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.

My Interpretation

that makes sense cause for most of my life i've always tried to be something im not and it just trashed my relationships
