Frontwoman Mayara Puertas said of the song’s lyrics:
“I wrote the lyrics to ‘Buried Alive’ while I was actually having a panic attack, so it was a real outburst. People tend to downplay the suffering of those who face these illnesses, often believing that taking medication is enough, that it’s a lack of effort, or even a lack of ‘God,’ as I’ve heard a few times. It’s a constant struggle, and in this song I describe what it was like to go through all of that.”
Drummer Amílcar Christófaro added:
“Skateboarding and metal have always gone hand in hand, and that’s still true today. The Pista da Saúde came as a gift to the neighborhood skaters—by the time it was inaugurated in 1994, I was already stopping skating because of the band. I only really got to enjoy it later. I remember watching Suicidal Tendencies videos and going crazy wanting to make a TS video with skateboarding. The moment has arrived, and with a very powerful message from May.”
