Everything Is Fine
Void Vision Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

What happened to humanity?
What happened to our sanity?
What happened to integrity?
Lost beauty to our vanity
Just a little at a time
When you boil me slow
Tell me everything is fine
Tell me everything is cold

Your apathy: The enemy
The irony: A tragedy
What happened to humanity?
What happened to our sanity?
.And a little white lie
Isn't hurting a soul
Tell me everything is fine
Tell me everything is gold

Tell me everything is fine
Tell me everything is gold.

Overall Meaning

The song "Everything Is Fine" by Void Vision touches upon the themes of apathy and the loss of integrity in society. The lyrics question what has happened to humanity and our sanity, while also highlighting the irony of the situation being a tragedy. The line "lost beauty to our vanity" brings to mind the idea that we have become so focused on ourselves and our own desires that we have lost sight of what is truly valuable.

The chorus is particularly poignant, as the singer begs to be reassured that everything is indeed fine and gold, despite the reality of the situation. The line "just a little white lie isn't hurting a soul" speaks to the idea that we have become so accustomed to lying to ourselves and each other that we don't even recognize the damage it causes.

Overall, "Everything Is Fine" is a powerful commentary on the state of society and the need for us to reexamine our priorities.
