Alright
Judah & the Lion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
WE'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
BROTHER CALLED ME ON THE PHONE
SAYING I'M DONE WITH IT ALL
SAFE TO SAY I'M DONE WITH IT ALL, TOO
TRYING TO RIGHT ALL THESE WRONGS
IT'S CLEAR TO ME WE'RE SCARED TO HOPE, TOO
I DON'T KNOW WHY
I DON'T KNOW WHY
I CANNOT STOP THIS FEELING INSIDE
I DON'T KNOW WHY
I DON'T KNOW WHY
I CANNOT STOP THIS FEELING INSIDE
NO MATTER HOW BAD ALL OF THIS GETS
I CAN'T STOP THIS VOICE IN MY HEAD
THIS VOICE IN MY HEAD SAYS
WE'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
WE'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
TALKING WITH MY SISTER AGAIN
ASKING WHEN IT'S ALL GOING TO END
FUNNY CAUSE I DON'T HAVE A CLUE
A PARENTS HEART BREAK IS A CHILD'S DEMISE
OF ALL THE TRUTH THEY KNEW INSIDE
I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO
I DON'T KNOW WHY
I DON'T KNOW WHY
I CANNOT STOP THIS FEELING INSIDE
I DON'T KNOW WHY
I DON'T KNOW WHY
I CANNOT STOP THIS FEELING INSIDE
NO MATTER HOW BAD ALL THIS GETS
I CAN'T STOP THIS VOICE IN MY HEAD
THIS VOICE IN MY HEAD SAYS
WE'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
WE'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
IF YOU'RE SCARED TO HOPE
HOPE ON
IF YOU FEEL ALONE
YOU'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
WE'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
WE'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
WE'RE GONNA BE ALRIGHT
The song Alright by Judah & the Lion is a message of hope and perseverance amidst difficult and uncertain times. The singer receives a call from his brother, who declares that he is done with everything. The singer too feels fed up with trying to rectify the wrongs in his life. Both of them are scared to hope, and it seems like their problems are insurmountable. However, the singer cannot stop the feeling inside of him that tells him that everything will be alright. He confesses that he does not know why he feels that way, but he cannot ignore the voice in his head that keeps telling him that they are going to be alright.
The singer also talks with his sister, who shares the same feelings of uncertainty and hopelessness. The lyrics suggest that there is a generational impact on pain and hardships, as a parent's heartbreak can be a child's demise. However, the singer acknowledges the truth that they all know inside that everything will eventually be alright. He admits that he does not know what to do or what the future holds, but he cannot shake off the feeling that they will be alright. The song ends with a call to hope and persevere, even when scared and alone, as there is something inside of us that tells us that we are going to be alright.
