Techno raves honestly saved my life. For a few hours, nothing else existed. No overthinking. No expectations. No identity to maintain. No past. No future. Just sound, lights, movement, and thousands of strangers becoming one energy. I found something spiritual in that. The way anger disappears. The way people stop caring who you are. The way everyone feels connected without speaking. At the same time, I’ve always loved rock music. Real rock music. The kind where the guitarist completely loses themselves on stage and the emotion takes over the entire room. FEEL ALIVE was me trying to merge those two worlds together. The euphoric escape of techno. The raw emotion and chaos of rock. Around the same time, I started realizing I no longer wanted the life I spent years building. The tailored suits. The luxury apartments. The perfectly structured aesthetic. The version of success I thought I was supposed to want. So I left. Sold almost everything I owned and started chasing all the side quests I kept postponing in my life. Traveling. Creating. Feeling. Actually living. That’s why the artwork says: “DR, ready to leave the matrix?” Because FEEL ALIVE is really about that moment. The moment you realize you can choose a completely different reality for yourself. This song is what that transformation felt like to me.
