OK
Riverside Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Need to stay right here
I don't care if there is a better place
I must try it myself
Again
My broken sleep will never be the same
I'm only hanging on
And waiting for another night
There's sadness in my mind ok
There's darkness in my mind ok

What has come over me?
Can't believe, but your tears leave me cold
I'm walking through the dark
Again
And I am not afraid to be alone
Anymore

There's sadness in my mind ok
There's darkness in my mind ok




Thoughts echoing in my mind ok
Everything is gonna be

Overall Meaning

ok


The lyrics of Riverside's song "OK" speak to the theme of struggle and resilience. The singer of the song is experiencing a difficult time and is unsure of what to do. The line "need to stay right here" suggests a lack of motivation or desire to move on to something better. Despite this, the singer acknowledges that they must try something new or different, even if it means enduring broken sleep or waiting for another night. The use of repetition in the phrase "my broken sleep will never be the same" emphasizes the severity of the situation.


However, as the song progresses, there is a noticeable shift in attitude. The singer declares that they are "not afraid to be alone anymore" and that "everything is gonna be ok." This optimistic tone contrasts starkly with the earlier verses, illustrating the singer's resilience in the face of adversity. Throughout the song, there is a consistent acknowledgment of the darkness and sadness present in the singer's mind, but there is also an underlying message of hope and the potential for things to get better.


Overall, the lyrics of "OK" convey a message about the human capacity for resilience in times of hardship. Despite the darkness and sadness that can overcome us, there is always the potential for hope and positivity.
