spit out the question /
expose their false confession

Overall Meaning

Sim's song "I'm Alright" speaks about standing up against the authorities and oppressive forces that try to control and take away the rights of the people. The first verse talks about exposing false confessions and catching the tricksters who hide in black fog. The next line "they took everything, we've carried on," suggests the resilience of the oppressed people who have suffered immense losses but have still managed to persevere. The chorus "I'm alright if they try to take me over, as long as I can protect my hands with nothing else to lose," reaffirms the resolve to continue the fight against oppression.

The second verse talks about the lack of innovation and casual attitude towards the country's issues. The people in power and their allies have hidden something essential under the tree, and the only way to attain forgiveness is by confessing their sins to the oppressed. The lines "to sin to us...the time has come to stand" signifies the power that the oppressed holds in their hands. The final part of the song asserts the need for a revolution and encourages people to stand up against the oppressive forces.
