OK
Silent Bob Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alcol e ansia dentro la mia pancia
Un cio' spinge i chili su una panca piana
L'altro li spinge su una panca in piazza
Non so come fare a salvarmi
Non so come fare a calmarmi
Dammi dosaggi più crasti
Che questa non credo mi basti
Ciocio, mi manchi, nonno, mi manchi
Ma ci rivedremo un giorno
È da un po' che ho perso il conto
Delle puttane e gli infami che ho attorno
Mille coltelli sul dorso
Aggiungine uno che non me ne accorgo
Bevo e barcollo, cinte e tracolle
Sono balordo e non me ne vergogno
Io vorrei affezionarmi, imparare a non stare più solo
Ma non sono bravo con le persone
Non so stare al mondo, figurati al gioco
Fanculo a chi giudica, non sa che ho perso
Non sa chi sono
Fanculo a chi dubita, non sa la fame
Che patisce che è un sogno
Black Air Force, black North Face
Su un Phantom sto coi miei
Se te ne andassi pure tu
Io, no, non mi stupirei
Black Air Force, black North Face
Su un Phantom, sto coi miei
Col tempo starò meglio
Ma da tempo qui niente è okay
Non serve piangere
La vita sa di merda, mica di fragole
Dei miei mali non trovo l'origine
Del passato ho strappato le pagine
Sembra tutto così finto
Come in un porno, come in un anime
Non basta il corpo, baby
Stasera facciamo scopare le anime
Le persone sono così vuote
Che non vedo più le ombre dei corpi
Mi sto sparando, ma tu non mi guardi
Sto gridando, non mi ascolti
Ricordo da bimbo che chiudevo gli occhi
Quando sentivo le grida e i colpi
Mai avuto paura del buio
Perché è alla luce che vedevo i mostri
Il mio cuore coi buchi e coi morsi
Non sorrido, sono pronto al peggio
Ogni uomo si autodistrugge
Ogni uomo in un modo diverso
Io sto bene quando arriva il freddo
Se sto male, per me fa lo stesso
La realtà mi ha stufato
Voglio fare un sogno e chiudermici dentro
Black Air Force, black North Face
Su un Phantom sto coi miei
Se te ne andassi pure tu
Io, no, non mi stupirei
Black Air Force, black North Face
Su un Phantom, sto coi miei
Col tempo starò meglio
Ma da tempo qui niente è okay
These lyrics, from Silent Bob's song "OK," delve into themes of inner turmoil, emptiness, and the struggle to find one's place in the world. The song opens with the artist feeling overwhelmed and out of control, with his emotions and anxieties consuming him. He compares these conflicting emotions to weights being pushed on different workout benches, demonstrating the heaviness he feels both physically and mentally.
The artist expresses his longing for someone he misses, possibly a grandparent, and acknowledges that they will be reunited someday. He admits to losing count of the negative influences and immoral people surrounding him, using the metaphor of a knife on his back to emphasize the presence of betrayal. Despite his self-awareness, he doesn't realize the full extent of the harm they cause. He copes with these difficulties by drinking and stumbling through life, unabashedly admitting his foolishness.
In the next section, he reveals his desire to form attachments and escape loneliness, but acknowledges his struggle to connect with others. He confesses that he doesn't fit into the world and even struggles with simple social interactions. He dismisses those who judge him, highlighting that they don't understand his struggles and who he really is. He also criticizes those who doubt him, ignorant to the hunger and dreams he carries within himself.
The artist continues with language that reflects his reality, mentioning his outfit consisting of black Air Force sneakers and a black North Face jacket while riding in a Phantom car with his friends. He acknowledges that if someone were to leave him, he wouldn't be surprised, potentially indicating a sense of detachment he has grown accustomed to. He expresses a glimmer of hope for improvement in the future but admits that nothing has been "okay" for a long time.
The final section explores the artist's perspective on life's hardships. He states that crying is futile because life is not sweet like strawberries but rather tastes like "merda" (Italian for "shit"). He struggles to identify the source of his pain and removes the pages of his past, striving for a fresh start. He likens everything to being inauthentic, comparing it to pornography or an animated show, emphasizing the lack of genuine connection. He desires to connect on a deeper level, to "make souls have sex" rather than just engaging physically.
He laments the emptiness of people around him, unable to see their true selves beyond shallow appearances. He feels ignored and unheard when he screams out, reminiscing on his childhood when he would close his eyes to block out the screams and violence. Interestingly, he claims to have never feared the darkness but rather found comfort in it, where he could truly see the monsters lurking. He acknowledges his damaged heart and lack of smiles, always anticipating the worst. He finds solace in the cold, perhaps metaphorically representing a detachment from his emotions. He concludes by stating his desire to escape the harshness of reality and retreat into a dream.
Overall, Silent Bob’s lyrics in "OK" convey a deep sense of inner struggle, disconnection, and desperation to find a sense of meaning and purpose in the chaotic world. The artist is brutally honest about his flaws, exposing his vulnerability and expressing his longing for something more fulfilling.

Sto fuori di me
I am losing control
Alcol e ansia dentro la mia pancia
Alcohol and anxiety are consuming me
Un cio' spinge i chili su una panca piana
One pushes the weight on a flat bench
L'altro li spinge su una panca in piazza
The other pushes them on a bench in the square
Non so come fare a salvarmi
I don't know how to save myself
Non so come fare a calmarmi
I don't know how to calm down
Dammi dosaggi più crasti
Give me stronger doses
Che questa non credo mi basti
Because I don't think this is enough for me
Ciocio, mi manchi, nonno, mi manchi
Ciocio, I miss you, Nonno, I miss you
Ma ci rivedremo un giorno
But we will meet again someday
È da un po' che ho perso il conto
It's been a while since I lost count
Delle puttane e gli infami che ho attorno
Of the whores and scoundrels I have around me
Mille coltelli sul dorso
A thousand knives on my back
Aggiungine uno che non me ne accorgo
Add one more that I don't notice
Bevo e barcollo, cinte e tracolle
I drink and stumble, belts and shoulder straps
Sono balordo e non me ne vergogno
I am foolish and I am not ashamed
Io vorrei affezionarmi, imparare a non stare più solo
I would like to attach myself, learn not to be alone anymore
Ma non sono bravo con le persone
But I am not good with people
Non so stare al mondo, figurati al gioco
I don't know how to fit into this world, let alone the game
Fanculo a chi giudica, non sa che ho perso
Fuck those who judge, they don't know that I have lost
Non sa chi sono
They don't know who I am
Fanculo a chi dubita, non sa la fame
Fuck those who doubt, they don't know the hunger
Che patisce che è un sogno
That it suffers, that it is a dream
Black Air Force, black North Face
Black Air Force, black North Face
Su un Phantom sto coi miei
On a Phantom, I am with mine
Se te ne andassi pure tu
If you were to leave too
Io, no, non mi stupirei
No, I wouldn't be surprised
Col tempo starò meglio
With time, I will be better
Ma da tempo qui niente è okay
But nothing has been okay here for a while
Non serve piangere
Crying doesn't help
La vita sa di merda, mica di fragole
Life tastes like shit, not strawberries
Dei miei mali non trovo l'origine
I can't find the origin of my troubles
Del passato ho strappato le pagine
I have torn out the pages of the past
Sembra tutto così finto
Everything seems so fake
Come in un porno, come in un anime
Like in a porn, like in an anime
Non basta il corpo, baby
The body is not enough, baby
Stasera facciamo scopare le anime
Tonight, let's make souls fuck
Le persone sono così vuote
People are so empty
Che non vedo più le ombre dei corpi
That I no longer see the shadows of their bodies
Mi sto sparando, ma tu non mi guardi
I am shooting myself, but you don't look at me
Sto gridando, non mi ascolti
I am screaming, you don't listen
Ricordo da bimbo che chiudevo gli occhi
I remember as a child closing my eyes
Quando sentivo le grida e i colpi
When I heard the shouts and the blows
Mai avuto paura del buio
Never been afraid of the dark
Perché è alla luce che vedevo i mostri
Because it is in the light that I saw the monsters
Il mio cuore coi buchi e coi morsi
My heart with holes and bites
Non sorrido, sono pronto al peggio
I don't smile, I am ready for the worst
Ogni uomo si autodistrugge
Every man self-destructs
Ogni uomo in un modo diverso
Every man in a different way
Io sto bene quando arriva il freddo
I feel good when the cold comes
Se sto male, per me fa lo stesso
If I am in pain, it doesn't matter to me
La realtà mi ha stufato
I am tired of reality
Voglio fare un sogno e chiudermici dentro
I want to dream and lock myself inside
Black Air Force, black North Face
Black Air Force, black North Face
Su un Phantom sto coi miei
On a Phantom, I am with mine
Se te ne andassi pure tu
If you were to leave too
Io, no, non mi stupirei
No, I wouldn't be surprised
Col tempo starò meglio
With time, I will be better
Ma da tempo qui niente è okay
But nothing has been okay here for a while
