Everything Will Never Be OK
Navigating Life's Turbulence: Everything Will Never Be OK
Lyrics
Everything in your life is explained away
Life events are rationalized and explained, perhaps to minimize their impact.
As part of a process that holds you back
There's a process or pattern holding the individual back from progress.
A walk along an avenue of trees is just what you need
A peaceful walk among trees is suggested as a remedy.
But the memory of divorce lingers on
The lingering impact of divorce affects the person even in moments of solace.
Everything will never be okay
An acknowledgment that everything in life may never be okay.
There'll always be some part of you in pain
There will always be some form of emotional pain.
Everything will never be okay
Reiteration that everything may never be okay.
There's a lack of oxygen inside this town
The environment lacks vitality, causing a mental suffocation.
It stops my brain from getting me high
The dull surroundings hinder the ability to experience joy or inspiration.
Every time I wake up it's a brand new day
Every new day brings the realization of mortality and the transient nature of life.
And I realize my body's designed to die
An awareness that the body is finite and destined to experience death.
You can take an hour or two out of every day
Suggesting escapism by taking breaks from the harsh reality.
Living in a world of lies you feel no pain
Living in a world of lies, avoiding pain through denial.
Cause I'm waiting for the day when I don't have to work
Waiting for a future where work is not a necessity, and love fulfills impatience.
And love will satisfy my impatience
Desire for love to be the solution to impatience and dissatisfaction.
You know how much my dear that I would love to talk
Expressing a desire to communicate but hindered by busyness.
But I'm far too busy on this occasion
Being occupied prevents the opportunity for communication.
You can take an hour or two out of every day
Reiteration of the idea of taking breaks from reality through music.
Living in a world of music you feel no pain
Living in a world of music as a means of avoiding pain.
It's just as real to escape as to suffer
Escaping is as real as suffering, suggesting the importance of coping mechanisms.
