Until I'm Fine
K's Choice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cracked this morning worst and weak
Tears roll down from inside my cheek
Strange timing opportunity knocks
Sun comes up, paradox

Take the whole part out this wine
Take a rope and tie these
Thoughts of mine down
Until I'm fine

Don't ask me if I'm hungry
I'm not sick
Something's tearing me up
Brick by brick

And I feel guilty as I sigh
I'm feeling guilty, why do I?

Take your hands out of mine
Take a rope and tie these
Thoughts of mine down
Until I'm fine

Cracked this morning worse and sad
Or have I already told you that
Forget my plans to grow a vine




You weren't dressed to burn these thoughts of mine
Until I'm fine, until I'm fine

Overall Meaning

"Until I'm Fine" by K's Choice is a song that explores the depths of the singer's emotional vulnerability and the struggle to cope with difficult feelings. The song begins with the singer describing how they woke up feeling "worst and weak," with tears rolling down from their cheeks. Despite this, there seems to be an ironic sense of opportunity arising in the face of their current emotional state, as the sun comes up and presents a paradoxical symbol of hope. The singer then expresses a desire to rid themselves of their troubling thoughts, echoing the sentiment of many who have wrestled with their own mental health struggles.


The chorus is particularly poignant, as the singer implores themselves to "take a rope and tie these thoughts of mine down, until I'm fine." There is a sense of desperation and frustration in this line, as if the singer is acknowledging that healing and recovery are not always linear processes. The second verse starts with the singer discouraging anyone from asking if they're hungry, further emphasizing the extent of their emotional turmoil. Something is slowly tearing them apart, brick by brick, yet they're unable to pinpoint the exact cause of their distress.


Towards the end of the song, the singer expresses guilt for feeling as they do, asking the rhetorical question, "I'm feeling guilty, why do I?" This is a common sentiment among those who suffer from mental health issues, as society often stigmatizes those who are struggling and makes them feel like they shouldn't be feeling the way they do. Ultimately, the singer seems resigned to the fact that they may never fully eradicate their inner demons - "cracked this morning worse and sad, or have I already told you that" - but they're determined to keep moving forward and striving towards a state of emotional stability, until they're fine.
