Nothing Is Wrong
Mike Posner Lyrics

I can worry, I can overthink things
I often get caught up in worrying and overthinking

That's exactly when I tend to wanna drink things
During those times, I feel the urge to rely on alcohol

Tend to wanna smoke things
I also tend to turn to smoking

'Til I realized there's no thing outside of me
But then I realized that external things won't solve my problems

That kinda helped me grow wings
This understanding empowered me to grow and evolve

Listen up, I think this is dope
Pay attention, I believe this realization is amazing

To love's very different than to own
Loving someone is distinct from possessing them

Let that sink in
Take a moment to fully comprehend and internalize this

I grew my hair, but never lost my J Dilla vibe
I changed my appearance, but my musical style remained true

Airplane mode, don't kill the vibe
I disconnect from distractions to maintain my creative energy

I had to remind people I was still alive
I needed to assert my presence and relevance

I had to remind people of what's real inside
I wanted to emphasize the authenticity within me

Yeah, yeah, I'm the "I Took a Pill in" guy
Yes, people associate me with the song 'I Took a Pill in Ibiza'

But even more beautiful with no pill inside
However, I believe I am even more captivating without substances

Feel the vibe?
Do you sense the energy I'm radiating?

I wanted to be Deion, I was more Wojciechowski
I aspired to be like Deion Sanders, but I'm more like Wojciechowski

My friends gon' hit the club, I tell 'em go without me
When my friends go to the club, I opt out

There's a lot that these people don't know about me
Many aspects of my life remain unknown to others

I always been that dude though, no Lebowski (stupid)
However, I've always been my own person, not like Lebowski

Old friends never tell me that I seem different
My old friends don't acknowledge any change in me

Ashamed of the way that I used to treat women
I feel regret for how I mistreated women in the past

Objectifying
I objectified them

Embarrassed, but I'll never lie
I'm embarrassed about my actions, but I won't hide the truth

Mac is dead, many more are dead inside
Mac (presumably Mac Miller) is deceased, and others also suffer internally

Hideous thoughts in this head of mine
My mind is burdened by disturbing thoughts

I'll choose different ones
I'll consciously select healthier thoughts

Life hit me in the face, but I didn't run
Life presented challenges, but I faced them without fleeing

Perhaps Michigan'll be the place my kids are from
Maybe Michigan will be the birthplace of my future children

Ram Dass is the man I got the vision from
Ram Dass influenced and inspired my perspective

It's alright, yeah, uh
Everything is fine

Ayy, It's alright, yeah
Yes, it's all good

Uh, ayy
Yes, indeed

I donated all my Jordans, didn't do a post
I gave away all my expensive shoes without seeking attention

They were taking up the space that I needed to grow
Those shoes were occupying the mental and physical space necessary for my personal growth

That was a Sage Francis line; I stole it
I admit that I borrowed that line from Sage Francis

But there was no better way to say that
However, it was the perfect expression for my sentiment

There is no future, no time
The concept of a future and linear time is illusionary

Look at yourself, don't be so bovine
Reflect on your own being, don't be blindly compliant

Courage used to be something that I couldn't find
I previously struggled to find courage within myself

People scared to look at their dreams so they look at mine, yeah
People are afraid to pursue their dreams, so they focus on mine instead

Whatever makes you feel good inside (it's alright)
Whatever brings you inner contentment, it's okay

I was in the gym the other day in Los Angeles
Recently, I found myself at a gym in Los Angeles

And I saw all of the beautiful bodies
I observed numerous attractive individuals

Running on the treadmills, staring at the screens
Exercising on treadmills while fixated on the screens

And it reminded me of hamsters running on the wheel
This sight reminded me of the repetitive nature of human lives

And that's when I really decided right then and there
At that moment, I made a definitive decision

I'm not gon' be a hamster on a wheel
I refuse to be trapped in a monotonous cycle

I'm gon' do it
I'm going to pursue my own path

Twitter is apoplectic
Twitter is in a state of extreme agitation or frenzy

Squirrels with acorns
Like squirrels hoarding acorns, people cling to their possessions

I said it before
I've mentioned this idea in the past

Ships are safe in the harbor, but that ain't what ships are made for
Ships are built for venturing into the unknown, not staying in the safety of the harbor

I say I am not my haircut, I'm not my body
My identity is not defined by my hairstyle or physical appearance

Not my clothes, I'm something much more beautiful
Nor am I defined by my clothing, I possess an inner beauty

Deeper than even I know
A depth within me that I'm still discovering

Took me 30 years to wake up and write this song
It took me three decades to fully awaken and compose this song

Took me 30 years to realize nothing is wrong
After three decades, I finally understood that there is nothing fundamentally flawed
