It's alright
Yeah, it's alright
I have fallen down so many times
Don't know why
Don't know where
Don't care less it's all the same
I have traveled through so many towns
Don't know why
Don't know where
Don't care less it's all the same
How can I protect you in this crazy world?
It's alright
It's alright
Can you hear the sound of nothing, nothing?
Nothing's right, nothing's wrong
Don't care less it's all the same
Love is blind, love is real
Don't you know that love is what you feel?
It's alright
Yeah, it's alright
How can I protect you in this crazy world?
It's alright
It's alright
When the talking's over
All the crowd has gone
Nothing left I can do
Am I ever gonna get through to you?
It's alright
It's alright
This is a crazy world
How can I protect you in this crazy world?
It's alright
Yeah, it's alright
How can I protect you when all the crowd have gone?
Now your party's over, all this world is wrong
It's alright
It's alright
How can I protect you in this crazy world?
It's alright
Aslan's song "Crazy World" is a poignant and reflective commentary on the difficulties of navigating an unpredictable and chaotic world, and the desire to protect and care for those we love in the face of it all. The opening lyric "How can I protect you in this crazy world, It's alright yeah, It's alright" sets the tone for the song's central theme, questioning the ability to shield someone from the harsh realities of life. The repetition of "It's alright yeah, It's alright" serves as a reassuring mantra, suggesting that despite the chaos, things will eventually be okay.
The second verse reveals a personal struggle to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles: "I have fallen down so many times, Dunno why dunno where, don't care less it's all the same." The lyrics express feelings of disillusionment and apathy, suggesting that the singer has travelled extensively but found no real answers or direction: "I have travelled through so many towns, Dunno why dunno where, don't care less it's all the same."
The chorus repeats again, further emphasizing the need for protection in a world that is often cruel and unforgiving. The bridge offers a moment of reflection on the power of love, suggesting that it is both blind and real, and that it can ultimately carry us through the toughest of times. The final verse is an acknowledgement of the limits of protection and the eventual passing of time. The song ends with a sense of hopefulness, however, as the repeated refrain reminds us that, despite everything, "It's alright."

How can i protect you in this crazy world
Despite how insane and unpredictable life can be, how can I keep you safe and secure?
Its alright yeah
It's okay, everything will be fine.
Its alright
Everything is okay.
I have fallen down so many times
I've experienced my fair share of failures and setbacks.
Dunno why dunno where
I don't always understand why things happen or where I'm headed.
don't care less its all the same
But ultimately, those details don't really matter in the grand scheme of things.
I have travelled through so many towns
I've explored many places and have had my fair share of adventures.
Can ya hear the sound of nothing nothing
Can you hear the emptiness, the lack of meaning?
Nothings right nothings wrong
Things aren't inherently good or bad, they just are.
Love is blind love is real
Love is both irrational and authentic.
don't ya know that love is what you feel
Because feelings of love can't be rationalized or explained.
When the talking is over
Once all the words have been spoken.
All the crowd has gone
Once everyone else has vanished.
Nothing left i can do
Once there's no more action to be taken.
Am i ever gonna get through to you
Will I ever be able to fully connect with you?
When all the crowd have gone
Once everyone else has disappeared.
Now your partys over and all this world is wrong
Now that the festivities have ended and the world seems to have gone awry.

I was at school with Christy, we both sang in the choir in St Firgal's School, Finglas. He was always the best singer, and regularly picked to do the most epic solo's by Mr Hanley the Choir teacher. He and I lived a few hundred yards from each other, but, as happens with many youths. The older we get the more distant we become. As it happens, I met Christy several years back. We talked about our time in the choir. He asked me. Martin do you still sing? I had to be honest. So I told him I don't normally sing, and when I do sing. I don't sing normally. So I stick to singing in the shower. When no one else can hear me butcher this and many more of the classic songs, which he and the group have produced. Songs that will be their legacy to the music lovers of the world. I won't argue against other vocal artists that Ireland has produced, but I will state that for me. Christy was the very best.
