Ive never heard them explain the songs origin, but it neve mentions anything about someone's father.
Alive is about a failed mother, but Rearviewmirror leaves a lot open to interpretation.

It is 100% about leaving home and an abusive father. It's even obvious if you read the lyrics.

Alive is part of the mamason trilogy.....Once ( about a serial killer - the father ), Footsteps ( about the dude being on death row ) and Alive which is about the relationship between the surviving wife/mother and son.
