Lyrics

If I truly existed To die

Then all the memories we had together Would turn into lies

If I worked from 9 to 5 Just to survive

Putting money into people's pockets But looking up to them all the time

I could be wrong or I could be right Why am I alive? Why am I alive?

I could be wrong or I could be right If I'm about to die Why am I alive?

If I decide to run away Will I feel lonely?

All the things we do together I need more honestly

If I'm putting all this time Will you care for me?

I don't wanna do it for nothing If you do not care at all

I could be wrong or I could be right Why am I alive? Why am I alive?

I could be wrong or I could be right If I'm about to die Why am I alive?

Song details

Behind the song

Money goes into other people's pockets while a working day buys little more than survival. There is something quietly painful about that exchange, especially when the people getting paid are also the people being looked up to. Why? takes that everyday pressure and follows it toward a much harder question: what makes being alive matter if everything ends? Even shared memories start to feel uncertain, as though death could somehow take away the truth of what happened together.

But the song is not only about work or death. It is also about needing care, and wondering whether the time given to someone means anything to them. Running away might offer a way out, but it could leave loneliness in its place. The repeated question holds these fears together without settling them. There is room to be wrong, room to be right, and still a need for something more than getting through the day. Beneath all the doubt is a plain wish: for shared life and effort to matter.
