OK
Alan Walker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's so uncomfortable at times
Finding it so hard to say I'm broken (yeah, uh, yeah, again)
The things we never talk about
I'm a bit afraid to let you know it

When I told you it was fine
It was just another lie
Just like boys don't cry

Lost in the threads of a little spider webs
Got me hiding in a corner, trying not to call her
This is how the heart breaks, just like you said
A fairy tale from hell, thanks to everything you told me
Even though I'm lonely, I'ma
I'ma be ok

When I told you it was fine
It was just another lie
Saying boys don't cry

Lost in the threads of a little spider webs
Got me hiding in a corner, trying not to call her
This is how the heart breaks, just like you said
A fairy tale from hell, thanks to everything you told me
Even though I'm lonely, I'ma
I'ma be ok

(I'ma, I'ma)
(I'ma, I'ma)
(I'ma be ok)

(I'ma, I'ma)




(I'ma, I'ma)
(I'ma be ok)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Alan Walker's song OK showcase the struggles of letting people in and the fear of revealing one's true emotions. The opening lines highlight the difficulty of being vulnerable, confessing one's emotional state, and admitting that one is broken. The fear of being judged or rejected is enough to keep someone from talking about things that bother them. The lyricist goes on to say that when he tries to brush it off and tell people that everything is "fine," it is just another lie. He equates this denial of feelings to the stereotype that "boys don't cry." In doing so, the song presents a tacit critique of gender norms and how they limit emotional expression, especially in men.


The second verse interrogates the interiority and confusion that comes with experiencing heartbreak. The lyric "Lost in the threads of a little spider webs" is a metaphor for the emotional trap that ensnares people when they are undergoing heartbreak. The act of hiding in a corner and not calling someone is representative of the isolation and withdrawal that typically comes with heartbreak. The song's bridge affirms that despite everything, the singer will be okay. He acknowledges that it may be tough, but he still has faith that he will come out of it on the other side. The song is reassuring that even in the midst of pain, there will always be a way to heal and move forward.

Alan walker
He is a legend
He is a musician
He is a DJ
He draws the smile in my face
His songs make me better
He showed me where is happiness in sadness
He gives me a special color to life
He teaches me how to never give up
He teaches me how to look up to world
He made me feel the music
He gives a positive effect
He makes me feel comfortable when I see him
He showed me how to fight
He helped me to get up again
He is my inspiration
He clears my path
He is gonna be always in my mind in my heart
I will be always a walker
