That's Okay
The Hush Sound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who was made out of glass
Who carried a black heart
Passed down from your dad
If somebody loved you,
They'd tell you by now
We all turn away when you're down
You want to go back
To where you felt safe
To hear your brother's laughter
See your mother's face
Your childhood home
Is just power white bone
And you'll never find
You're way back
[Chorus]
And when you're gone
Will they say your name?
And when you're gone
Will they love you the same?
If not, that's OK
If not, that's OK
You are broken and callow
Cautious and safe
You are boundless in beauty
With fright in your face
Until someone loves you,
I'll keep you safe
But like then,
I will give you away
[Chorus]
If not, that's OK
If not, that's OK
[Chorus]
Oh,
When you're gone
We won't say a word
But you know,
That's OK
Don't you know
That's OK?
The Hush Sound's song "That's Okay" speaks about the struggles of a broken individual who seeks love and acceptance. The first verse describes a person who appears fragile like glass and carries a black heart which was passed down from their dad. Despite this, the person craves love and validation but feels neglected because no one has shown them love. The chorus questions whether someone would miss them and love them once they are gone, highlighting their fear of abandonment and rejection.
The second verse explores the person's desire to return to a safe place, their childhood home, where they can relive happy memories with their family. However, they feel lost as they realize that their home is now just a collection of memories that they can never truly return to. The third verse acknowledges the person's shortcomings; they are broken, cautious, and safe. Yet, despite all their pain and flaws, the singer promises to keep them safe until someone is willing to love them.
Overall, the lyrics convey a message of insecurity, loneliness, and the craving for love and acceptance, and reminds individuals that even though someone might not love them, it's essential to know that it's okay.
Line by Line Meaning
You were the child
You were a vulnerable and delicate child
Who was made out of glass
Who was fragile and easily breakable
Who carried a black heart
Who had a pessimistic and negative outlook on life
Passed down from your dad
Inherited from your father
If somebody loved you,
If someone truly cared for you
They'd tell you by now
They would have expressed their love for you already
We all turn away when you're down
We tend to avoid those in a vulnerable state
You want to go back
You long to return
To where you felt safe
To the place where you felt secure and protected
To hear your brother's laughter
To experience the joy of your sibling's laughter once again
See your mother's face
To see your mother's loving and caring face
Your childhood home
The place where you spent your childhood
Is just power white bone
Now abandoned and lifeless
And you'll never find
You'll never be able to return to
You're way back
The past that you once knew and cherished
And when you're gone
When you pass away
Will they say your name?
Will people remember you?
Will they love you the same?
Will people still love you even after you're gone?
If not, that's OK
It's alright if they don't, it doesn't define your worth
You are broken and callow
You are flawed and lacking in experience
Cautious and safe
You are careful and protective of yourself
You are boundless in beauty
You possess limitless potential for greatness and goodness
With fright in your face
Despite your beauty, you still carry fear and insecurity
Until someone loves you,
Until someone shows you true love
I'll keep you safe
I'll protect you and keep you from harm
But like then,
Just like how in the past
I will give you away
I will release you from my protection and let you go
When you're gone
When you're no longer alive
We won't say a word
We'll remain silent about your departure and absence
Don't you know
Don't you understand
That's OK?
That's alright, it doesn't matter if we don't vocalize our grief
