WHATEVER DAD Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dogs are forbidden, but
Your sticker′s okay
Music is forbidden, but
You can still sing and
Chess is forbidden, but
You can still play that game
'Cause in our eyes
Miss Elaiza is nice and good
We can still be friends
At the end of the day
And so, I′ll see ya tomorrow
Maybe then you will share your lunch
And tell another ghost story
When Trisha is done

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of O.K. by WHATEVER DAD reveal a society with strict rules and regulations, where various activities, such as owning dogs, listening to music, and playing chess, are forbidden. Despite these restrictions, the singer highlights that there are still some things that are allowed, such as having a sticker on your property or singing along to music. The song's shifting perspective draws attention to the arbitrary nature of authority and how it impacts different individuals.


Moreover, the song's message seems to be that even though rules can be limiting, people can still find joy and connection in other ways. The singer extends an olive branch towards Miss Elaiza, who presumably represents someone who might have different opinions or beliefs, and emphasizes that their friendship can be maintained despite any differences. The reference to sharing lunch and telling ghost stories also reflects a desire for simple, innocent pleasures that can bring people together regardless of their circumstances.


Overall, O.K. encourages listeners to find common ground and empathy despite external divisions, and to appreciate the little moments of happiness that can exist even in difficult circumstances.


Line by Line Meaning

Although dogs are banned, your sticker is allowed
Even though music is prohibited, singing is still permissible


Despite the prohibition of chess, you can still enjoy playing it
Our perception of Miss Elaiza is positive and favorable


We can maintain our friendship despite any potential obstacles
At the end of the day, we will still be friends


Until tomorrow, when we can possibly share lunch and a ghost story
When Trisha is finished
