Alright
The Subways Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And find a way to make ends meet
Enemies, well I don't think they ever sleep
Make our way until we see the light
Another day, another chance and it will be
Alright, alright, alright, alright
So what you say, what you do is who you are
You say it's truth
But still you lied right from the start
Make a change and find the reasons why
Another day, another chance and it will be
Alright, alright, alright, alright
And I wonder, when we fall
Who do we need? Who do we call?
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
The Subways's song "Alright" is a motivational track that encourages listeners to make the best of every situation by being proactive and determined to change their circumstances. The first verse sees the band urging us to "make the great escape" and find a way to make ends meet, assuring us that our enemies, whoever they may be, never sleep. The chorus serves as the hook of the song, with the repeated refrain of "alright, alright, alright, alright" serving as an encouraging mantra that things will be okay if we keep going.
In the second verse, the band challenges us to be truthful in our actions and to make a change in our lives by finding the reasons why we do what we do. The song ends with a thought-provoking question, asking who we turn to when we falter - who do we need, and who do we call? The final repetition of "alright" could take on a more desperate or optimistic tone, depending on how we answer that question.

Make the great escape
Escape from a situation and start something new
And find a way to make ends meet
Find a way to earn a living
Enemies, well I don't think they ever sleep
Enemies are always on the lookout to harm us
Make our way until we see the light
Continue striving until we achieve our goal
Another day, another chance and it will be
Every day is a new opportunity to succeed
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Everything will be fine
So what you say, what you do is who you are
Your actions and words define your character
You say it's truth
You claim to speak the truth
But still you lied right from the start
You never told the truth from the beginning
Make a change and find the reasons why
Change your ways and find the reasons behind your actions
And I wonder, when we fall
I wonder who will be there when we fail
Who do we need? Who do we call?
Whom should we rely on when we need help?
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Everything will be fine
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Everything will be fine
