Alright
Tyla and The Dogs Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you blink, you're gonna miss it
This life will slip away
They're gone, but they never visit
The same song every day
There's a great big sky
Hanging under space
Constantly
Green grass blades you held kept you safe, the smell of summer's sharpened

Felt sunshine sink on your face, what once was bright will darken
There's a great big sky that's hanging under space
Gotta look up sometimes to believe anything
We turn to wolves at night and drink our dreams away
But it's gonna be alright relearning through the pain
I don't care if you drink just don't drive there's so many lives connected to you
Can't fix or repair the hours or time with nickels or dimes all the love they lose
We're not scared just tired of trying, tired of lying the trust's been used
Try to pretend if it happens again I'll never remember that we lose
There's a great big sky, hanging under space
We all wish that we all knew
What we do now when we were you, the lessons all the same
It's all a pattern that repeats, I am you and you are me exactly at the same time
List of paths drawn on our maps always seem to bring us back to where we are right now
Fears a dragon standing guard
Protects what's hidden in our hearts you face him to find out
There's a great big sky that's hanging under space
Gotta look up sometimes to believe anything
We turn to wolves at night and drink our dreams away
But it's gonna be alright
Be alright

Be alright
Be alright again

Overall Meaning

In "Alright," Tyla and The Dogs capture the feeling of wanting to escape from the stresses of life and find comfort in being with someone you care about. The opening lines suggest a feeling of loneliness and a desire for company. The singer feels lost without their friends and decides to ride their skateboard around instead of staying at home alone. The mention of tying their laces and riding the board all night long implies a sense of freedom and escape. The mention of finding their shoe where they passed out implies they might have had a wild night previously, possibly drinking or partying with friends.

The next verse introduces a new character, Bailey, who seems to bring the singer happiness and comfort. The beach setting and the mention of eating pizza and drinking beer out of a dirty jacuzzi implies carefree behavior and a disregard for social norms. The singer doesn't remember how they got to the beach but the moments spent with Bailey watching the sunrise until they've "been making out" suggest a sense of peace and contentment. The repeated refrain "We'll be alright" reinforces this idea of finding solace in the present moment.
