Okay
No Atlas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
wondering when you'll get to see
All these things
That I've got planned
Sitting silent like a pictureframe
Open eyelids watching when you say
"Darling, I...
And here... I feel safe
But still... I'm away from you
And I do not know where to go
How to wake up and feel like home
And I will not sleep
'Till I somehow wind up in your sheets
And maybe
It'll feel like I'm okay
Nothing ever makes me wish to be
gone away from you
That's honesty
I will lay
in your arms forever
And everything's been falling into place
It's about time something went astray
Just to mix it up
So we've got something to fix
And here... I feel safe
But still
I'm away from you
And I do not know where to go
How to wake up and feel like home
And I will not sleep
'Till I somehow wind up in your sheets
And maybe it'll feel like I'm okay
okay
okay
okay
and maybe it'll feel like I'm
okay
In "Okay," No Atlas sings about feeling safe and secure next to someone they love, but still feeling distant and unsure about their future. The opening lines set the tone for the song, reflecting on the moments spent together and the anticipation for what lies ahead. The singer wonders when their partner will see all the plans they have made for the future.
The chorus captures the essence of the song's emotional core. The singer describes feeling lost and unsure about where to go next, but not resting until they are in their partner's arms. The repetition of "okay" in the chorus conveys a sense of reassurance and hope, suggesting that being with their loved one will make everything seem alright.
The second verse introduces a note of uncertainty, with the singer acknowledging that things will not always be perfect, that things might go "astray" and there might be something that needs to be fixed. Still, the singer remains committed to their partner and the relationship, clinging to the hope that being with them will ultimately make them feel okay.
Overall, "Okay" is a song about love, uncertainty, and the power of human connection to provide comfort and hope in difficult times.

Got my eyes on the computer screen, tryna work my digits in
fidget with the lettering but never with my sentences
pause check the clock, and it appears it's six a.m. again
another night wasted or another day finished
and my mind is steady running in place
i don't wanna fall asleep, 'cause i've got so much to say
but i don't wanna stay awake and keep exhaustion at bay
because i presently just dead inside the bed where i lay
i might as well work now, maybe it could suffice
as more a method of confusion than a dip into life
it's like my body parts are planning out an intricate heist
except my mind is been logged in on a different device
and my session expired, i'm exceptionally tired
every step is like fire straight from my head to my toes
see, i'm an excellent liar when i've slept the required
8 or 7 hours prior, but at present i'ma go the fuck to sleep and uh--
"Let's get some good nights rest that sounds like a good plan. well, goodnight"
bwoooooooooomp
"God its morning already, alright fine up I'm up."
okay rise and shine, hello to the ladybugs
insert several other stupid phrases about waking up
rub the sleep out of my eyes and view the clock that hangs above
and hit the snooze a couple times to keep my hours 8 or plus
check my phone once, twice, three times, four
just so i can see the second i'm messaged by mon amour
for a date or a small excursion straight to a donut store
where i'm holding an open door to convey that i'm spoken for
and it's great, it's a total score, it's a wonderful set of things
that exist in my present bubble of love where the petals sing
as they're blooming on every flower, moving to better springs
engulfed in a heavy shower of rain that the weather brings
and, even though my days might be presented slow
they pass before my eyes at higher rates than even engines go
and the cycle will repeat itself like history and reddit posts
so what's the point in fighting it? i'm staying up and letting go
