It's Ok
d.p. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Buried in the ground
Pressure you place in a mound
Dirt is the only thing that surrounds
This rotting corpse won't make a sound
And everyone tells me I'm alright
What could be wrong
Such a perfect life
And I don't think I'll make it another night
I can no longer fake around my despite
And you try to tell me it's ok
You're less forgiving than the blade




One mistake and put me to shame
I've drowned in my tears and then the lake

Overall Meaning

The song It's OK by d.p. portrays a dark and melancholic view of life. The lyrics talk about the burial of a corpse in the ground, surrounded only by dirt. The singer acknowledges the pressure that has been placed on this person as they are laid to rest. However, despite the suffocating and claustrophobic situation, there is no sound as the person has already passed away. The singer then reflects on their own mental state and a deep unhappiness with their life, using the rotting corpse as an analogy for their own struggles. Despite appearances of a "perfect life," the singer expresses a sense of hopelessness and desperation, admitting that they don't think they will "make it another night." The singer then confronts someone who tells them that "it's okay," but questions the sincerity of the statement, saying that they are "less forgiving than the blade." The singer feels that one mistake will bring them shame, and that they have already "drowned in [their] tears" and are now lost in the metaphorical lake of their misery.


Overall, the lyrics of It's OK paint a picture of a person who is suffering from the weight of their own inner demons. They appear to be struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts, feeling trapped and suffocated by their circumstances. The singer's desperation is palpable, as they confront the superficiality of those around them, who offer hollow reassurances but ultimately lack empathy and understanding.
