It's Gonna Be Okay
Finding Hope in Chaos: It's Gonna Be Okay by Emily Nicole Green
Lyrics
Running fast to the next disaster
Expressing a continuous cycle of rushing towards the next crisis.
Fire's out until the next one burns
Highlighting the temporary nature of solutions, as one fire is extinguished until the next one arises.
Holding tight to hopes of happy ever after
Clutching onto the idea of a happily ever after despite challenges.
Losing sight of how any of this works
Feeling disoriented and losing understanding of how things function.
Wrong and right seep into the conversation
Addressing the blurred distinctions between right and wrong in conversation.
Black and white drains the colors from the walls
Describing a situation where clear distinctions fade away, leaving only black and white.
Another night where nobody finds salvation
Emphasizing a night where no one finds salvation or relief.
Another fight 'cause we can't carry it all
Acknowledging conflicts arising from the inability to bear the burdens.
Sometimes ya just need to hear 'em say
Expressing the need to hear comforting words in difficult times.
It's gonna be okay, oh, it's gonna be okay
Reassuring that things will be okay despite challenges.
When you're staring down the barrel of the day
Facing the difficulties of the day with resilience.
It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay
Repeating the message that everything will be okay.
Oh, it's gonna be okay
Reiterating the belief in a positive outcome.
Toeing lines just to keep things at a standstill
Engaging in actions just to maintain a sense of stability.
Warning signs so bad doesn't lose to worse
Recognizing warning signs to prevent situations from worsening.
Spinning minds burnin' both sides of a candle
Describing a mental state where both sides are being exhausted rapidly.
Can't decide if there's something here to learn
Uncertainty about whether there's a lesson to be learned from the experiences.
No one's fine we're all fraying at the edges
Acknowledging that everyone is struggling and showing signs of wear and tear.
Needing help but there's no one left to call
Expressing a need for assistance but finding no one available.
Pulling back the ones still out there on the ledges
Reaching out to those who are still on the edge, seeking support.
Looking down at how far the mighty fall
Reflecting on the downfall of those who were once powerful or mighty.
Sometimes ya just need to hear 'em say
Reiterating the importance of hearing comforting words during tough times.
It's gonna be okay, oh, it's gonna be okay
Reassuring that, despite challenges, everything will be okay.
When you're staring down the barrel of the day
Facing the challenges of the day with optimism.
It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay
Repeating the message of eventual positivity and resolution.
When the sky is only painting shades of gray
Describing a period of difficulty when the sky seems gloomy.
It's gonna be okay, oh, it's gonna be okay
Reiterating the belief that things will be okay, even in challenging circumstances.
When they're speaking but there's nothing left to say
Noting that words are spoken, but communication seems futile.
It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay
Repeating the message of reassurance and hope.
Oh, it's gonna be okay
Concluding with a reaffirmation that everything will be okay.
