Understanding this quote

Singing is presented as an essential part of the speaker’s life and identity. “What makes me tick” means it gives life meaning and keeps the speaker going. Saying “Without singing I will die” strongly expresses how unbearable life would feel without it, rather than offering a literal explanation of death.
