I Hope You're Okay
Flatsound Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I fell asleep with the television on
I missed all of your phone calls, slept through the alarm
Am I late? Am I too late to see you?
Are you mad I didn't get to meet you?

With a phone in your pocket and holes in your shoes
You went to Monterey without a boy to sing to you
You always said, "This is where I want to
Live my life, with or without you"

And I'm not gone
You just make it hard to talk

I had a dream that I rose from the dead
And all my fears were flower pedals on my bed
And the wind lifted them off me
As a man spoke to me softly

He said he lived in a town who washed all their clothes
In a public river with blood drippin' from their toes
Are you strong? Have you come here to save me?
Said, "Are you real?" He said, "I'm as real as you make me"

Brum bum badum bum, clap your heels when you can
Brum bum badum bum, just don't thrive on being sad
Brum bum badum bum, admit when you've done your wrongs
Brum bum badum bum, and you know I've done a lot
Brum bum badum bum, I'm so sorry that I left
Brum bum badum bum, before I told you what you meant
Brum bum badum bum, tell your family I said hi
Brum bum badum bum, I hope they're doing fine

I just wanted to say I hope you're okay
And I hope everything worked itself out along the way




You are strong, 'cause you were there to save me
You are real, you're as real as you made me

Overall Meaning

The song "I Hope You're Okay" by Flatsound speaks to a deep sense of regret - the feeling of having left something unresolved that you desperately want to make right. The first verse recounts a missed opportunity, a failure to connect with someone who was important, and the uncertainty that comes with that. The second verse paints a surreal and seemingly unrelated picture of the dreamer rising from the dead and a man speaking to him softly about a town washing their clothes in a river with blood on their toes. But the deeper meaning of the verse is the search for redemption and the possibility of making things right, even after death.


The chorus is a string of messages, each one a plea for connection and resolution. It's an acknowledgement of the pain and sadness that comes with human existence, but also a reminder to keep moving forward, to admit when we've done wrong, and to strive for positivity wherever we can find it. The final verse is a direct message to a specific person, a statement of caring and support, an invitation to reach out and reaffirm a relationship that may have frayed or broken. The entire song is a testament to the human need for connection, even in the face of overwhelming loss and regret.
