Alright
Agnostic Front Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Happens all you say what happened yesterday?
All we do is watch our back sleep with
This and fuck with death we're ready to attack
I can't seem to find a better way
I can't seem to think about today
Now I'm never doing right
You will start to feel alright!
Alcohol and violence all those skams
And dirty tricks waiting for the tide to shift
So your life is not on track shooting dope
And smoking crack how long do
You think you'll last?
Somebody told me no matter how you feel don't
Forget to know what's real
Situations everyday you can't make a difference
If you turn the other way
Nobody's right nobody's wrong can you see the
Light outside before to long
I've got my pride passed down from my fathers
Side and you can never take it away
What happened to the world today what happens
All you say what happened yesterday?
All we do is watch our backs from aids
Heartaches and death- fight it all
'Til my last breath!
The lyrics to Agnostic Front's song "Alright" lament the state of the world and the personal struggles of the writer. The song reflects a sentiment of dissatisfaction with society and a lack of hope for the future. The opening lines ask what has happened to the world today, and how did we get here. The writer observes that all we do is watch our backs, sleep with danger, and appear to be ready for conflict at any moment.
The chorus of the song urges the listener to take a chance on what they feel and trust their instincts. The lyrics assert that only then will one start to feel alright. There is an undercurrent of negativity in the verses that speaks to the dangers of drugs and violence, the fleeting nature of life, and the inevitability of death. There is a call for a return to reality, the need to focus on what is real and not to waste time on schemes or distractions.
The song's message of personal strength and confidence in oneself is a theme that finds resonance in many of Agnostic Front's other songs. The song speaks to the importance of self-reliance and standing up for oneself. It encourages listeners to take charge of their lives and find their way to a better place.
