All Better Now
Embracing Life's Transitions: All Better Now by Chris McKenna
Lyrics
My back is better
Expressing physical improvement, possibly overcoming a health issue.
I'm finally getting over
Continuing to recover or heal from a challenging situation.
How my two friends left the world this month
Reflecting on the recent loss of two friends who passed away.
The weather's better
Noting improved weather conditions, symbolizing positive change.
Everyone's in Union Square
Observing a gathering of people in Union Square.
Talking 'bout how to change the world
Discussing ideas about changing the world or perhaps the uncertainty of doing so.
Or not
Acknowledging the possibility that not everyone is actively engaged in changing the world.
If you know
Possibly addressing those who understand or have insight into the situation.
It's okay
Offering reassurance that things are okay.
It's okay
Repeating the reassurance that everything is okay.
Come on, wake up
Encouraging someone to wake up, possibly from emotional numbness or distress.
You're okay
Reassuring an individual that they are okay.
We're okay
Affirming the well-being of a collective "we."
The weather's better
Reiterating improved weather conditions, signaling positive change.
And all my friends have quit their jobs
Noting friends leaving traditional jobs to join a startup in San Francisco.
To join a startup in the San Francisco Bay
Continuing the narrative of friends making life changes.
The weather's better
Repeating the observation of improved weather, perhaps emphasizing positivity.
I think I finally understand
Expressing an understanding of mortality and the inevitability of death.
How everyone here is gonna die someday
Continuing reflections on the transient nature of life.
If you know
Reassuring that it's okay to know or acknowledge difficult truths.
It's okay
Repeating the reassurance that everything is okay.
It's okay
Reiterating the sentiment that everything is okay.
We're going home
Heading home, possibly signifying a return to comfort or safety.
You're okay
Reassuring an individual that they are okay.
We're okay
Affirming the collective well-being of "we."
You're on the playground
Describing a scene at a playground, possibly a metaphor for life's simplicity.
Just smile and give
Encouraging generosity and kindness.
And though we cannot understand
Acknowledging the difficulty of understanding certain aspects of life.
Just be yourself and live
Encouraging authenticity and living true to oneself.
The weather's better
Repeating the theme of improved weather, possibly symbolizing positive change.
And though the shock has not worn off
Acknowledging lingering shock but accepting the reality of a situation.
I accept it, because you're not really gone
Expressing a sense that someone is not entirely gone despite physical absence.
We're like fish
Using the metaphor of fish searching for the ocean to express self-discovery.
Searching for the ocean
Continuing the metaphor and realization that one is already where they need to be.
Then we finally realize we're already there
Repeating the reassurance that it's okay to know or accept certain truths.
If you know
Reiterating the sentiment that everything is okay.
It's okay
Repeating the reassurance that everything is okay.
It's okay
Reiterating the sentiment that everything is okay.
You're going home
Heading home, possibly signifying a return to comfort or safety.
We belong to you...
Suggesting a sense of belonging to a greater whole.
The weather's better
Repeating improved weather conditions, symbolizing positive change.
And all my friends are better now
Noting that all friends are better now, possibly indicating personal growth or healing.
Yeah, we're all better now
Affirming the overall improvement or well-being of everyone.
