Minks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the colors are all around me
We're spinning records in here in my room
Little pleasures feel like falling, falling
Everything' fine
In my mind you're not far away
Everything's fine
Everything's cool
When you break all of the rules
Everything's cool
When you break all the rules
Summer's over, she's leaving with you
The neon boardwalks were made for waling
You swim in blue jeans and tell the truth
The lonely future, still that calling, calling
Everything's fine
In my mind you're not far away
Everything's fine
In my mind you're not far away
Everything's cool
When you break all of the rules
Everything's cool
When you break all the rules
Everything's fine
In my mind you're not far away
Everything's fine
In my mind you're not far away
Everything's cool
When you break all of the rules
Everything's cool
When you break all the rules
The song "Everything's Fine" by Minks explores themes of nostalgia, loss, and rebellion. The lyrics begin with the singer going out to "hunt" for the future, but they find that everything is falling apart around them. The colors, likely representing the colorful aspects of life or the world, are all around them, but they are still slipping away. The singer seeks comfort in their room, spinning records and reveling in the little pleasures that make them feel like they are falling. This falling sensation could represent a loss of control or direction, hinting at the singer's struggle to find meaning or purpose in their life.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Everything's fine in my mind you're not far away." The repetition of this phrase suggests that the singer is trying to convince themselves that everything is fine, even though they are surrounded by chaos and uncertainty. However, the phrase "in my mind" implies that this sense of stability is only internal and may not reflect reality. When the singer says "everything's cool when you break all the rules," it suggests a type of rebellion or deviance that provides temporary relief from the pain of uncertainty. This line shows that the singer may be acting out or making reckless decisions as a way to feel in control or as a way to escape their problems.
The second verse introduces a narrative element to the song, and the lyrics describe a summer romance that ends with the woman leaving with someone else. The imagery of neon boardwalks and swimming in jeans creates a sense of nostalgia and highlights the fleeting nature of happiness. The singer is left alone with the lonely future calling to them. The repetition of the chorus suggests that the singer is still trying to convince themselves that everything is fine, despite this recent loss.
Overall, "Everything's Fine" explores complex themes of uncertainty, loss, and rebellion. The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling to cope with a world that is falling apart around them, and they turn to both escapism and rebellion as ways to deal with their pain.
