It's Ok
Quorthon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I believe and strongly feel some things just aren't meant to be
All the time in our lives something somewhere draws a line
I believe in time you'll see sometimes some thing are best let be
You may find between the lines lotsa' things you missed first time
But that's OK now hear me say we all learn from our mistakes
Yes I'll be all right
Yes I think I'll be all right
I hope I'll be all right
Yes I wish I'll be all right
It's OK
Come this far it's who we are and what and how that takes us far
So just proceed leave history behind but make sure your hands are clean
Halt for a while now would you try to change things given one more try
Sure I know the level is low but never fail and you'll never know
You may find between the lines
Yes I'll be all right
All the time in our lives
You may find between the lines
Yes I'll be all right
In Quorthon's song "It's Ok," the lyrics suggest that there are certain things in life that are not meant to be, and it's important to let them go. The song acknowledges that we all make mistakes and that we can learn from them. The line "Come this far it's who we are and what and how that takes us far" implies that it's important to accept ourselves for who we are and to keep pushing forward. The lyrics also suggest that it's important to let go of the past and move forward with a clean slate. The repetition of the phrase "Yes, I'll be all right" serves as a reminder to remain optimistic and hopeful for the future.
The song may have been written as a response to personal struggles Quorthon was facing in his life. He was known for being a very private person, and some interpret these lyrics as a reflection of that. Despite the personal nature of the lyrics, the song is relatable to anyone who has faced adversity or struggled with letting go of something.
