It's Okay
Embracing the Storm: Finding Strength in the Gray Moments
Lyrics
(Ayo, bring the drums in, yeah)
Setting the musical tone, calling for the drums to begin.
Waking up like why is my first thought an anxious one
Expressing a morning experience with an initial anxious thought.
I reach for the beaker I'm facing one
Turning to a coping mechanism, symbolized by a beaker, to face the anxiety.
Just to get out of my head and this bed
Trying to escape the overwhelming thoughts and emotions tied to the bed.
I didn't used to overthink like everything and be confused
Reflecting on a past state of not overthinking, feeling confused despite no significant change.
And nothing's really changed but still I'm far removed
Despite external stability, feeling emotionally distant.
From the comfort and ease that I knew
Acknowledging a shift from a previous state of comfort and ease.
It's okay
Introducing the refrain, emphasizing that it's acceptable not to feel okay.
To not feel okay right now
Encouraging acceptance of current emotional states.
To feel so alone in this crowd
Feeling isolated in a crowd, uncertain about the right path.
To not know which direction leads out
Expressing uncertainty about the direction leading out of current struggles.
It's okay
Reiterating the message that it's okay not to feel okay.
To not feel okay right now
Acknowledging the legitimacy of negative emotions in the present moment.
To not know what's bringing you down
Acceptance of not understanding the cause of emotional downturn.
Just breathe in and let it all out
Encouraging the release of emotions through deep breaths.
I'm pushing on like nothing will break me, I'm just too strong
Expressing resilience and determination despite challenges.
Its right foot then left foot until the dawn
Continuing to move forward step by step, facing challenges until morning.
It's not my first with myself
Acknowledging a history of internal struggles.
It's the suffering of everything when nothings even there
Reflecting on the universal suffering even when there seems to be no tangible cause.
And thoughts roll like the tide they bring the worst to keep us scared
Comparing intrusive thoughts to the relentless tide, inducing fear.
So I'm facing the gray, I guess I'll play while it rains
Facing challenges with a sense of acceptance and playfulness during difficult times.
Cause I know that it's only today
Recognizing the transient nature of challenges, emphasizing the importance of today.
It's okay
Reiterating the message that it's okay not to feel okay.
To not feel okay right now
Emphasizing the acceptance of current emotional states.
To feel so alone in this crowd
Feeling isolated in a crowd, uncertain about the right path.
To not know which direction leads out
Expressing uncertainty about the direction leading out of current struggles.
It's okay
Reiterating the message that it's okay not to feel okay.
To not feel okay right now
Acknowledging the legitimacy of negative emotions in the present moment.
To not know what's bringing you down
Acceptance of not understanding the cause of emotional downturn.
Just breathe in and let it all out
Encouraging the release of emotions through deep breaths.
