סרטון השיר המקורי:

Yeah, it kept me alive
For a very long time it kept me alive
until I thought I couldn't do without
Of course I get by
and even if I die

Stems of sugarcane
the lotus is sweet
and the weed becomes tar
until I tasted forbidden fruits and doubts
until I thought I couldn't do without

If I can't get this shit, I’ll try
yeah I’ll try any way
coz it keeps me alive
Holding on to our life

Now I long to be touched
too close and too far, she's one of her kind
At the end of the day
the one thing I need is someone to love
who will keep me alive
I need love to keep me

I know I couldn't do without
Of course I get by, and even if I die

If I can't get this shit, I’ll try
yeah I’ll try any way
coz it keeps me alive
Holding on to our life

Creatures, creations and craving, they all hang from the tree
the one that keeps me alive
Holding on to our life
