I'm Okay
Paul Maged Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(I'm a changin' changin' every day changin' every day yeah)
(I'm a walkin' tryin' to find my way, tryin' to find my way yeah)
(I'm a changin' changin' every day, this is what I say yeah)
Walking down to the place I lived a world and a half ago
Searching for that part of me to soothe my aching soul
Streets look the same, and the people come and go
Memories of times I spent come flooding through my mind
Loved ones I'll never see again until I reach the other side
Am I still the same? Or maybe I've lost touch?
I guess we all change, but how much is too much?
And I have lived this day before
I do not want it anymore
If I could dream I'd kill some time
And yet today is mine
I'm okay.
It's alright.
Yesterday there was nothing that could burn my great desires
Raised from the ashes I was walking barefoot on the wire
Am I who I was but different than I'll be?
Letting go is tougher than hanging on my friend you'll see
I have lived this day before
It's just one more revolving door
If I could stay I'd kill some time
And yet today is mine
I'm okay, yeah
It's alright
I'm okay
It's alright, so right
(I'm a walkin' tryin' to find my way, tryin to find my way yeah)
(I'm a changin' changin' every day changin' every day yeah)
(I'm a walkin' tryin' to find my way, tryin' to find my way yeah)
(I'm a changin' changin' every day, this is what I say yeah)
And you know that it's best for you start moving on
It gets hard with one foot stuck in the dark
Reconnect to the energy and then start a new
Don't look back, it's just you, just you
So I take the good and the bad and the sometimes in between
Tired of just treading water now I'm swimming up your stream
That's the chance you take, throwing caution to the wind
Life is just a game, roll the dice and you may win
And I have lived this day before
I won't deny it anymore
If I could dream I'd kill some time
Yet today is mine
I'm okay, well
It's alright, what I say
I'm okay, well come on come on
It's alright, let me tell u now
I'm okay, well
It's alright, what I say
I'm okay, so hot so hot
It's alright, sooth the soul
(I'm a walkin' tryin' to find my way, tryin to find my way yeah)
(I'm a changin' changin' every day changin' every day yeah)
(I'm a walkin' tryin' to find my way, tryin' to find my way yeah)
(I'm a changin' changin' every day, this is what I say yeah)
I'm okay, yeah
It's alright, got to know got to know now
I'm okay, yeah so hot so hot
It's alright, let me tell you now
I'm okay, yeah
It's alright, what it is
I'm okay, come on come on
It's alright, let me tell you now
I'm okay.
The song "I'm Okay" by Paul Maged is about the constant changes in life and the search for oneself through them. The lyrics convey the idea of a person on a journey to find their way, changing with each passing day. The first few lines of the song demonstrate the singer's searching and the constant changing that they are experiencing. The feeling of being lost is central to the song, with the singer wandering in a place they once called home, trying to relive old memories, and searching for a part of themselves to soothe their aching soul.
The singer appears to be struggling with letting go of the past and accepting changes that have happened, including losing loved ones who they will never see again. They question if they are still the same person they once were or if they have lost touch with themselves. Accepting changes is not easy, and they imply that everyone changes, but they are questioning how much change is too much. The chorus "I'm okay. It's alright" seems to be a powerful reminder to the singer that the changes they are experiencing are okay, and they will get through it.
The song aims to encourage listeners to let go of the past, embrace changes, and move forward in life. It ends with the lyrics, "I'm okay," repeatedly reinforcing that acceptance of oneself is crucial in life.
