Everything Will Be Alright
The Souls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just pawns on the board or players
But in the eternal search for love
So often we and the world fell on that
Wherever you go
Wherever you go
Everything will be alright
What you will plan
What you will plan
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright, yeah-eah
You lived you did as best you could
It's strange to listen to what you once sang
But in the eternal search for myself
I change minus for plus
Let's get together friends
The opening lines of the song grapple with a profound philosophical question about identity and existence. The singer contemplates the nature of humanity, pondering whether we are mere pawns in a vast cosmic game or actual players endowed with agency and purpose. This duality reflects a common struggle within the human experience, as many search for meaning in their existence. The mention of the "eternal search for love" highlights a deeply rooted human desire for connection, suggesting that despite the roles we play, the quest for love and understanding binds us all. This awareness of falling shortβboth personally and as part of the larger worldβserves as a poignant reminder of vulnerability and the shared struggles we confront along our journey through life.
The chorus, a repeated affirmation of reassurance with the phrase "Everything will be alright," introduces a soothing element amidst the uncertainties posed earlier. It serves as a mantra, suggesting that, regardless of the individual paths we take or the turmoil we face, there is a fundamental assurance that things will eventually resolve in a positive manner. This optimism can be interpreted as a form of hope that transcends the struggles depicted in the verses. Repeated use of "wherever you go" indicates that this promise of reassurance applies universally, no matter where one finds themselves on their personal journey, emphasizing an inherent resilience present in the face of adversity.
In the subsequent lines, the singer reflects on their past experiences and decisions, recognizing the efforts made in pursuing a fulfilling life. There's an acknowledgment of changeβboth personal growth and a shift in perspectiveβas they listen to echoes of their former self. "It's strange to listen to what you once sang" hints at a journey filled with introspection and evolution, as the singer acknowledges the distance between who they used to be and who they are now. By stating that they "change minus for plus," thereβs a sense of embracing each lesson learned, converting past challenges into wisdom. This transformation underscores a pivotal theme of the song: the idea that personal growth is a continuous process, defined by both our struggles and triumphs.
The closing lines invite camaraderie and solidarity among friends, reinforcing the idea that we are not alone in our individual quests for clarity and fulfillment. The phrase "let's get together" is emblematic of unity and mutual support, emphasizing that shared experiences can foster deeper connections and understanding. This call to gather reflects a collective optimism, an acknowledgment that while we each navigate our journeys, we can find strength in one another. Ultimately, the song conveys that despite life's inherent complexities and the weight of our inquiries about existence, with love, support, and community, everything will indeed be alright. The blend of existential reflection and comforting reassurance invites listeners to embrace both the journey and the relationships that enrich our lives.

Say it's all right (it's all right)
Say it's all right (it's all right)
It's all right, have a good time
'Cause it's all right, whoa, it's all right
We're gonna move it slow
When lights are low
When you move it slow, it sounds like more
And it's all right, whoa, it's all right
Now listen to the beat
Kinda pat your feet
You got soul, and everybody knows
That it's all right, whoa, it's all right
When you wake up early in the morning
Feelin' sad like so many of us do
Hum a little soul
Make life your goal
And surely something's got to come to you
And say it's all right (it's all right)
Say it's all right (it's all right)
It's all right, have a good time
'Cause it's all right, whoa, it's all right
Now everybody clap your hands
Give yourself a chance
You got soul, and everybody knows
That it's all right, whoa, it's all right
Someday I'll find me a woman
Who will love and treat me real nice
Then my woe's got to go
And my love, she will know
From morning, noon, and night
And she's got to ...
Say it's all right (it's all right)
Say it's all right (it's all right)
It's all right, have a good time
'Cause it's all right, whoa, it's all right
Now everybody clap your hands
Now give yourselves a chance
You got soul...

I donβt know if I can speak for everyone here, but I think this may be one of the most important and beautiful movies ever made.
@SunIsLost
Yes TRUE
@yamimorris825
agree, a necessary story to be told.
@jasmin4153
Agree, it's so meaningful
@AdeleKakwandi
I made the big mistake of watching it when I was tired so I nodded off for a few minutes but even then it was still a beautiful experience. I watched it with a friend who has kind of moved on in their life which is sad but it's a great memory of a treasured old friend non the less.

FACTS
@mustarddoctor
I really loved this movie. It just dealt with so much things that we can all relate to, particularly the one scene after Joe's gig where he feels satisfied, but underwhelmed. Like when you finally achieve a goal, and you're happy you did but like.....you feel it wasn't what you expect, that really hits, and to me, it shows that the goal isn't what makes it all worth it....its the journey, it's the process that leads you to it and the little things you learned along the way to make you a stronger person. Us as humans never want to stop pursuing something new and meaningful, even when we achieve our passions and dreams, new ones immediately take hold and we strive ourselves to go through that journey again.
