I'm Fine
Heart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Anyway, as I was saying before we got all blown away ~ oh man
Flash flood in a paper cup ~ no chance to study up ~ oh man
What's the chad confetti stuff shooting out the TV is it Y2K or its it World War 3?
The dogs of reason ran away ~ way into the fray ~ and whoosh the hell we have to pay
Have you heard?

(Chorus)
As I was saying, I'm fine
Things don't make sense to me all the time
I'm hanging right on that line
As I was saying, oh I'm fine

Midsummer lifeline in stone crimson love
Slo-mo explosion come down form the above
Tune out the noise of the tumbling world
If you can hear me its' all in a word, have you heard?




Anyway, as I was saying, scuse me for just a minute please ~ oh man
I'm OK I'm OK I'll come around right after I have this little break down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Heart's song I'm Fine are about the chaos and confusion that we encounter in life. The opening lines suggest that the singer was about to say something important before they were interrupted by a flash flood, which can be seen as a metaphor for unexpected events that disrupt our plans. The "paper cup" can be interpreted as something that seems small and insignificant but can quickly escalate out of control.


The next lines question the source of the chaos, whether it's the Y2K bug or the start of World War III. The chorus then repeats the phrase "I'm fine," which can be seen as a coping mechanism. Even when things don't make sense, the singer tries to convince themselves that they're okay.


The second verse describes a "midsummer lifeline in stone crimson love," which can be interpreted as a moment of clarity or a lifeline in the midst of chaos. The singer urges the listener to tune out the noise of the world and focus on the power of a single word.


Overall, the song's message is about finding a way to cope with the unpredictability of life, even when it doesn't make sense.
