Alright
Osker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm uncomfortable with myself,
And your put-downs just do not help.
The outcome is I feel like shit.
Don't you know when to quit?
...And I am not doing alright,
And I am not doing alright.
I always end up feeling bad,
So why don't you just get off my back?
If I knew that this is what friends were for,
I'd never made any.
...And I am not doing alright,
And I am not doing alright.
None of this makes sense;
They don't support me
'Cause they're too busy judging.
It's all so unimportant.
It makes me feel sorry for them.




...And I am not doing alright,
And I am not doing alright.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Osker's song "Alright" convey a feeling of unease and discomfort with oneself, exacerbated by the judgment and put-downs of others. The singer is struggling with their own self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy, but also finds that their supposed friends are unhelpful and unsupportive, focusing instead on criticism and negativity. The song captures the frustration and isolation of feeling trapped in a cycle of negative self-talk and unhelpful social dynamics.


The repetition of the refrain "And I am not doing alright" underscores the feeling of unease and reinforces the idea that the singer is struggling to cope with their situation. The use of the word "alright" also stands out, as it suggests a sense of resignation and acceptance of a situation that is fundamentally not okay. The final lines of the song, "It makes me feel sorry for them," suggest a degree of empathy and compassion even as the singer is struggling with their own issues.
