Fine
Weathering Life's Storms: Finding Strength in Alkaline Trio's 'Fine'
Lyrics
It's gonna rain like this for days,
Anticipation of enduring difficult times.
I'm gonna drown in my old ways,
Feeling overwhelmed by past habits and choices.
But I'm fine.
Claiming to be emotionally stable or unaffected despite challenges.
I'm fine.
Reiterating emotional stability amid adversity.
It's gonna hurt like hell
Expecting emotional pain when facing a difficult situation.
When you pull back the hammer and fire,
Anticipating emotional pain caused by a significant action.
But I'm fine
Asserting emotional stability despite the expected pain.
I'm fine.
Reiterating emotional stability amid the impending pain.
You see a storm knocked out my super power,
Referencing a loss or change in personal strength.
Now I sleep through thundershowers.
Indicating indifference to disturbances, possibly due to desensitization.
Wake me when you learn to be cool.
Requesting to be informed only when others learn to handle situations calmly.
If I'm the captain of this boat then all my shipmates are fools.
Metaphorically portraying oneself as a captain with unreliable companions.
And all the the stars in the world couldn't help me steer my way out of this kiddie pool.
Expressing the inability to navigate through life's challenges.
I'm gonna wake up from these dreams
Expecting to wake up from unsettling dreams with real-life challenges.
With nightmares lined up on my street,
Imagining facing distressing situations upon waking.
But I'm fine.
Claiming emotional stability despite anticipated difficulties.
I'm fine.
Reiterating emotional stability amid expected challenges.
Needed a hand to keep my head up
Expressing a need for support to maintain emotional well-being.
So you put hooks in both my ears,
Metaphorically describing the influence of others on personal emotions.
And I'm fine.
Asserting emotional stability despite external influences.
I'm fine.
Reiterating emotional stability despite external challenges.
Yeah it's a chronic pain in my ass but no, it's not a burden.
Acknowledging a persistent source of irritation without considering it a significant burden.
It's ironic that I drink to make my insides stop hurting.
Highlighting the paradox of using substances to cope with internal pain.
And it's love that gives me heartburn,
Attributing heartburn to the emotion of love.
It's a song that makes my stomach turn,
Linking a specific song to physical discomfort.
And I wouldn't trade my hand for all the aces in the deck.
Expressing contentment with one's current situation despite challenges.
Cause I'm fine
Affirming emotional stability despite difficulties.
Cause I'm fine
Reiterating emotional stability amid adversity.
I'm fine
Continuing to assert emotional stability.
I'm fine
Repeating the claim of being emotionally fine.
I'm fine
Emphasizing emotional well-being.
I'm fine
Reiterating the overall emotional stability.
