OK
Mariusz Duda/Riverside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't care if there is a better place
I must try it myself
Again
My broken sleep will never be the same
I'm only hanging on
And waiting for another night
There's darkness in my mind ok
What has come over me?
Can't believe, but your tears leave me cold
I'm walking through the dark
Again
And I am not afraid to be alone
Anymore
There's sadness in my mind ok
There's darkness in my mind ok
Thoughts echoing in my mind ok
Everything is gonna be
alright ok
The lyrics of the song OK by Mariusz Duda from Riverside convey a sense of melancholy and introspection. The opening lines "Need to stay right here, I don't care if there is a better place" indicate a desire to stay put, even if it is not the best situation. The lyrics continue with "My broken sleep will never be the same, I'm only hanging on and waiting for another night", painting a picture of someone who is struggling with their sleep and is just waiting for the darkness of night to come to provide some peace. The repetition of "ok" throughout the song suggests an attempt to convince oneself that everything will be alright, even in the midst of pain and uncertainty.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer is grappling with a feeling of indifference towards someone else's tears, as they say "Can't believe, but your tears leave me cold". However, the subsequent line "And I am not afraid to be alone anymore" hints at a newfound independence and strength. The repeated line "There's sadness in my mind ok, there's darkness in my mind ok" underscores the pain that the singer is feeling, but the final line "Everything is gonna be alright ok" signifies a sense of hope and resilience.
