The lyrics sounds basic for Adele. 
@RideOrDie..Tempo pls? How is the production? Is it piano ballad? How are Sia's vocals? Does it sound like another Sia song? Thank you

I was born in a thunderstorm,
I grew up overnight,
I played alone,
I'm playing on my own,
I survived
Hey
I wanted everything I never had
Like the love that comes with life
(?)
But I survived
I had one (?) where the demons go
Where the wind don't change
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hope, just lies
And it's hard to cry in your pillow
But I'll survive
I'm still breathing (x4)
I'm alive
|
More lyrics please 
Also, is the song a piano-ballad of some sort? It sounds slow to me.

"Alive" starts with a simple piano melody which might make you think it's a slow song but once the guitar rhythm takes the piano's place you realize it's going to be a crazy loud pop track. After the first "I survived" line there's a brief stop, then the drums kick in. We are back to the piano-only sound and Sia cries out "I'm still breathing" four times before the hook comes and she starts belting out "I'm alive" repeatedly. The chorus is exactly what the song promises, loud and catchy accompanied by hard percussion. After we hear the second chorus, there's a follow up part where she goes "You took it all, but I'm still breathing" again and again which directly leads us to bridge. The bridge is angry - "I told you that I will never be forgotten" - the production switches back to an acoustic-ish vibe until the last chorus kicks in and the songs ends.
You instantly recognize it as a Sia song and as you can guess from the lyrics it's repetitive but this makes it extra catchy. Production and instrumental wise it reminds me of Fire Meet Gasoline but it's definitely not ballad-y like that, it just follows a similar build-up with the piano and percussion. "Alive" is more up-tempo, guitars are included and the drums in the chorus hit harder. As always, she doesn't disappoint with the vocals. B+

No one knows we just know that he can
He'll probably listen to the lead single of "25" too if there's a Vevo lyric video
