I Wanna Be Okay
Blindlove Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm anchored in doubt
Been pacing a line from the sink to the couch
See life through a windowpane
And it′s never easy to hear your name
And right now I'm needing to make a new change
I know I'll never be the same
I wanna be okay
Have you seen the sun today?
And is the sky still blue?
I′m searching for sounds and for anything new
Just something you can′t contain
And it's never easy to hear your name
And right now I′m needing to make a new change
I know I'll never be the same
Just wanna bе okay
I wanna be okay
I wanna be okay
I wanna be okay
I wanna bе okay
And I know that it′s never easy to hear your name
And right now I'm needing to make a new change
And I know I′ll never be the same
Just wanna be okay
I wanna be okay
I wanna be okay
The lyrics of Blindlove's "I Wanna Be Okay" delve deep into the emotional turmoil of a person who is struggling to cope with the challenges in their life. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer confesses their fear of going out into the world. They feel anchored in doubt, unable to break free from the cycle of negative thoughts that compels them to pace a line from the sink to the couch. The imagery of viewing life through a windowpane suggests a sense of detachment from reality and a desire to distance oneself from the outside world.
The repetition of the line "And it's never easy to hear your name" highlights the pain of encountering something or someone that reminds the singer of their past mistakes or failures. Despite the difficulties of their situation, the singer expresses a strong desire to make a change and move on. They acknowledge that they will never be the same again, but they long to be okay and find a measure of peace and acceptance with their current circumstances.
The chorus is repeated four times, emphasizing the simplicity and urgency of the singer's wish to be okay. The final line of the song, "I wanna be okay," is repeated twice, leaving the listener with a sense of hope and determination.

When you become super famous you have to re-release this song so that it can become the giant hit that it was meant to be.

I heard this on X96 and was like "Man this must be from the late 90s or early 2000s and I somehow missed it." Nope, came out in the middle of a pandemic and I just happened to be lucky enough to live in Utah and hear it on the radio. Shows that not everything that came out of 2020 is bad. You guys rock, can't express how excited I am to be your newest fan!

Heard this on a good local radio station. Really good. Honestly this song hit home a little too well, but if the music can give me emotions then its hella good!
Rose Studstrup
Same. The chorus says in 12 words what people write whole novels about.
