OK
P-Nyce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But don't know what to say
I'd tell you
If I had to
Not okay
And I can't stay this way
If I knew how to
Cause this just won't do
Spent days by myself
Weeks since I had a better thought
Months since I was awake
Don't remember how it was
To be alive in this world
Spent years without anyone knowing
The lack of growth I have learned
And I spend my days dreaming of the past
Hoping retroactive change can make it last
But I found nothing so far to help me make it work
Remain concerned
I'm not okay
But don't know what to say
I'd tell you
If I had to
Not okay
And I can't stay this way
If I knew how to
Cause this just won't do
Why would I try to tell
Why would I risk it
Rather be alone in hell
Than go and solicit
But the days are stretching out
And I can't make it anywhere
I can't get me to turnabout
So I guess I'll stay right here
And I spend my days thinking of the past
Knowing retroactive change won't make it last
'Cause I found nothing so far to help me make it work
Remain concerned
I'm not okay
But don't know what to say
I'd tell you
If I had to
Not okay
And I can't stay this way
If I knew how to
Cause this just won't do
It's come down to the wire
Gotta make a decision
Too young to retire
Or I'll take 'em down with me
It's come down to the wire
I don't know how many times
Maybe someone can help me out
To adhere to their designs
And I'm trying to move on from visions past
Holding on to fleeting moments to make them last
And maybe they can help me make it work
I'm unaffirmed
I'm not okay
But don't know what to say
I'd tell you
If I had to
Not okay
And I can't stay this way
If I knew how to
Cause this just won't do
I'm not okay
And don't know what to say
I'll tell you
Cause now I have to
The lyrics of P-Nyce's song "Ok" delve into themes of inner turmoil, personal struggles, and the desire for change. The singer expresses a sense of not being alright but lacking the words to accurately convey their emotions. This inability to articulate their feelings reflects a deeper sense of confusion and unease within the singer. The repeated refrain of "I'm not okay" emphasizes the internal conflict and the urgent need for resolution.
The lyrics also touch upon a period of isolation and introspection, as the singer describes spending days alone in their room, disconnected from the world around them. This solitude has led to a sense of stagnation and a loss of vitality, as indicated by the lines "Weeks since I had a better thought / Months since I was awake." The singer reflects on past experiences and yearns for a sense of growth and renewal but struggles to find a way forward.
There is a poignant reflection on the passage of time and the weight of unaddressed issues that have been carried for years without anyone else knowing. The longing for retroactive change underscores a wish to rewrite the past and find a solution to the current predicament. Despite this longing, the singer remains uncertain and unable to find a way to make things work, leading to a continued state of concern and unease.
The final verses introduce a sense of urgency and the need to make a decision before it's too late. The singer grapples with the idea of being too young to give up but also unsure of how to move forward. There is a plea for external assistance or guidance to help navigate the uncertainty and adhere to a new path. The repetition of "I'm not okay" conveys a sense of vulnerability and the willingness to finally open up and seek support, signaling a potential turning point in the singer's journey towards self-discovery and healing.
