It's All Right
Dagger Lyrics

In "It's All Right" by Dagger, the lyrics explore themes of hypocrisy, consequences, emotional escape, and the inevitability of life's challenges. The opening lines, "Casting those stones around in that glass house of yours, Don't you worry about the consequences, Or are you so drunk again that this isn't really happening," suggest that the singer is pointing out someone else's tendency to criticize and judge others while ignoring the potential repercussions of their own actions. The reference to being drunk could imply that this person is either using substances to numb themselves or to escape from the reality of their own behavior.

The next lines, "If that's the case, I guess it's not like I'm not a mess myself, And it all comes tumbling down," reveal the singer's self-awareness and acknowledgement of their own flaws and imperfections. This acceptance of personal vulnerability suggests a level of understanding and empathy towards others, even if they are critical of the person in question.

The second verse, "Crafting those potions, rock salt and strawberry wine, For to be feeling again, For to be feeling fine, fine, Come the first light of dawn, we gotta be moving on, Moving on," introduces the idea of using substances or external means to regain a sense of emotional well-being. The use of "rock salt and strawberry wine" metaphorically describes the concoctions this person creates to escape their turmoil and seek temporary relief. However, the realization that moving forward is essential in order to face life's challenges is also emphasized.

Overall, "It's All Right" delves into the human tendency to criticize, escape, and face the consequences of our actions with an understanding that everyone is flawed and vulnerable in their own way. It highlights the importance of self-awareness, empathy, and the inevitability of life's ups and downs.
