Alright Now
Above & Beyond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've loved a lot
I lost myself to you
We tied our dreams up
In a lover's knot
But none of them came true
Turned to quicksand
The warm winds turned to frost
Where does love go
When it has no plan
When everything is lost
The only thing that I forgot
Was that we walk alone
I'm learning how to stand again
A steady hand again
I'm gonna be ok
I'm gonna be just fine
I'm gonna be alright now
Alright now
I'm gonna make the grade (make the grade)
I'm gonna take my time (take my time)
I'm gonna be alright now (gonna be alright now)
Alright now
I'm gonna be ok
I'm gonna be just fine
I'm gonna be alright now
Alright now
I'm gonna make the grade (make the grade)
I'm gonna take my time (take my time)
I'm gonna be alright now (gonna be alright now)
Alright now
Alright now
Alright now
Alright now
Alright now
You said you loved me bigger
Than the universe the sun and all the stars
You said that there was nothing that we couldn't overcome
And yet we fell apart
We fell apart
The lyrics to Above & Beyond ft. Justine Suissa's song Alright Now speak to the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer has experienced both love and loss and feels as if they've lost themselves in the process. The metaphor of tying dreams up "In a lover's knot" is particularly insightful, as it implies that the singer and their partner had intertwined hopes and ambitions that were ultimately dashed. The contrast between solid ground and quicksand, as well as warm winds and frost, underscores the unexpected and jarring nature of the singer's experience.
The most poignant lines in the song are "The only thing that I forgot/Was that we walk alone." The singer has seemingly become so enmeshed in their relationship that they've forgotten that ultimately, we all have to rely on ourselves. Learning to stand again and find a "steady hand" is the path to healing and moving on. The repetition of "I'm gonna be alright now" in the chorus feels like a mantra, a powerful declaration of the singer's intent to get through this difficult time.

Para mi como latino y mexicano y fan de above & beyond puedo decir que estoy completamente feliz con este álbum. Y con esta canción considero que es como un “Alchemy 2.0” . Todos deberíamos estar bien , de tomarnos nuestro tiempo de sanar, nuestro tiempo de perdonar y estar de pie. “Alright now” llega en un momento de mi vida que es como un himno que tengo que tener en mento después de darle cierre a una historia de amor de 4 años. Gracias Above and Beyond por hacer magia con su música, por crear este tipo de himnos. Por erizarnos la piel a toda la “Anjunafamily” con cada presentación. Thanks so so so much guys you are my favorite Dj’s in the world and thanks for making this possible new album, new history’s , new himn !
