Alright With Me
Drew Blackard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Riding a wave on a lucid dream
And time can melt and days can turn
I can float on ice and watch it burn
And for our protection, we should find if this is real
Cause maybe it's just a dream
It'd be alright with me
It'd be alright with me
It'd be alright with me
It'd be alright with me
There's a fixture ahead on the radar field
A feeling of life in a sea of steel
A stroke of luck just in time
When your wheels are stuck and you learn to fly
And you learn to fly
And you learn to fly
And for our protection, we should find if this is real
Cause maybe it's just a dream
It'd be alright with me
It'd be alright with me
It'd be alright with me
It'd be alright with me
The lyrics to Drew Blackard's song "Alright with Me" paint a picture of transcending reality and experiencing something beyond our physical senses. The opening lines "With colors you can feel and sounds that you can see, Riding a wave on a lucid dream" suggest that we can defy logic and traverse our subconscious to experience something surreal. The line "And time can melt and days can turn" implies that time is a flexible concept and can be bent to our will.
The second verse touches upon the idea of overcoming obstacles and limitations, symbolized by "A feeling of life in a sea of steel". The line "When your wheels are stuck and you learn to fly" is a metaphor for taking a negative situation and turning it into an opportunity for growth and transformation. The chorus "It'd be alright with me" reinforces the idea that any experience, real or imagined, would be welcomed because of its potential to broaden our perception of reality.
Overall, the song captures the essence of exploring what lies beyond the surface of reality and embracing the magic of our own minds. It encourages the listener to redefine their boundaries and to approach life with openness and curiosity.
