Alright
Freeway F. Allen Anthony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To a word I say
Kill enthusiasm
'Cause I've found that day
Though it over and over and over again
Then you rip me down
Trying over and over and over again
You're a fool
You're gonna end up in a hole
You never finish what you started
Forever telling you I though it over and over and over again
See it coming for you
See it every day
Try to ignore you
You get my way (yeah yeah yeah!)
And it's alright [Repeat: x 4]
Gonna end up in a hole
Now you got me moving
Now I've got a taste
You can't stop me smiling
I'm laughing in your face
It's true
You're gonna end up in a hole
You never finish what you started
Forever telling you I though it over and over and over again
See it coming for you
See it every day
Try to ignore you
You get my way (yeah yeah yeah!)
And it's alright [Repeat: x 4]
Gonna end up in a hole
Laugh about me all you like
Talk behind me, I don't mind
Let me tell you I'm alright
Gonna end up in a hole (whoa-oa-oa)
Laugh about me all you like (whoa-oa-oa)
Talk behind me, I don't mind (whoa-oa-oa)
Let me tell you I'm alright!
Thought it over, over and over
Thought it over, over again [Repeat: x 2]
See it coming for you
See it every day
Try to ignore you
You get my way (yeah yeah yeah!)
And it's alright [Repeat: x 8]
Gonna end up in a hole
You're gonna end up in a hole
You never finish what you started
Don't mind me telling you I though it over and over and over again
The opening stanza of the song "Alright" by Freeway F. featuring Allen Anthony expresses deep frustration and a sense of being unheard. It conveys a feeling of being ignored by others, even though the person has been repeatedly trying to express themselves. The lyricist seems to be disappointed with the way people respond. The line "Kill enthusiasm 'cause I've found that day" suggests that the singer has been let down so many times that they have lost their motivation and enthusiasm to continue. The chorus, "See it coming for you, Try to ignore you, You get my way (yeah yeah yeah!), And it's alright", seems to suggest that even though the person is facing challenges and dealing with people who oppose them, they will still overcome their obstacles and be perfectly fine.
In the second and third stanzas, the singer declares that others who fail to finish what they started will ultimately end up in a hole. This seems to be directed at someone who probably keeps disappointing the singer. However, the lyricist seems to suggest a shift in focus, "now you got me moving, now I've got a taste, you can't stop me smiling, I'm laughing in your face." The singer seems to have had an awakening and has decided to set aside their frustrations, focus on their dreams, and not let anyone stop them. In the final stanza, the singer is confident that no matter what others may say or do, they will be alright.
