Everything Will Be Alright
LIVING ROOM - The Killers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Doo-doo, doo-doo
I believe in you and me

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Wrong until you make it right
And I won't forget you
At least I'll try and run, and run tonight
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

La, la, la, la, la, oh-ho
I wasn't shopping for a doll
To say the least, I thought I've seen them all
But then you took me by surprise
I'm dreaming 'bout those dreamy eyes
I never knew, I never knew
So take your suitcase, 'cause I don't mind
And baby doll, I meant it every time
You don't need to compromise
I'm dreaming 'bout those dreamy eyes
I never knew, I never knew but it's alright, alright

Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright




Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
It will be alright

Overall Meaning

The song "Everything Will Be Alright" by The Killers is a message of hope, perseverance, and belief in oneself and others. The opening lines, "I believe in you and me," suggest a strong sense of devotion and faith in someone, whether it is a friend or a loved one. The next line, "I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night," demonstrates the determination to help someone in need, even if it takes a long time or considerable effort.


The next line "wrong until you make it right" could be interpreted in different ways. It could suggest that the person you believe in has done something wrong, but you will keep believing in them until they make things right. Alternatively, the line could suggest that you have been wrong in your beliefs and are willing to change them to make things right. The following line, "And I won't forget you, at least I'll try," emphasizes the importance of not giving up on someone, even if it is difficult.


The chorus repeats the phrase "everything will be alright" multiple times. This repetition emphasizes the message of hope, and the belief that no matter how difficult the situation is at the present moment, things will eventually get better. The song also highlights the power of dreams, as the singer dreams about someone with "dreamy eyes." This could symbolize an escape from the problems or hardships faced in reality, and a source of hope for a better future. The song concludes with the repeated phrase "it will be alright," emphasizing that although things may not be okay at the moment, the future holds the promise of better things.

I wasn't shopping for a doll
I was not looking for a specific type of person


To say the least, I thought I've seen them all
I thought I had met all types of people before


But then you took me by surprise
You exceeded my expectations and surprised me


I'm dreaming 'bout those dreamy eyes
I keep thinking about your attractive eyes and daydreaming about you


I never knew, I never knew
I did not realize what I was missing until I met you


So take your suitcase, 'cause I don't mind
You can leave if you have to, but I am okay with it


And baby doll, I meant it every time
I have been genuine and sincere every time I have said 'I love you'


You don't need to compromise
You should not have to make compromises in our relationship


I'm dreaming 'bout those dreamy eyes
I am still mesmerized by your eyes and thinking of you


I never knew, I never knew but it's alright, alright
I did not know what I was missing, but now that I know, everything is okay


It will be alright
Everything will be okay in the end
