I'm Okay
Navigating Solitude: Joji Redback's Emotional Journey Through Despair
Lyrics
Feel the need to drink on most days
Expressing a frequent desire to consume alcohol.
Keep telling myself that I'm okay
Self-reassurance that everything is fine despite struggles.
Feel the need to drink on most days
Reiteration of the desire to drink on most days.
Keep telling myself that I'm okay
Continued self-reassurance amid challenges.
Grab that bottle, grab that glass
Describing the action of grabbing a bottle or glass.
At the bottom I can see my cash
Observing the diminishing financial resources at the bottom.
Serve another like bitch why ask
Serving another person without questioning why.
Time flies, I missed my past
Reflecting on the swift passage of time and missed opportunities.
Talk to mum, I miss my dad
Expressing longing for parental figures, specifically mentioning missing the father.
Life is good. I know what I have
Acknowledging the positive aspects of life despite challenges.
You gave me shit; going to give it back, yeah
Commitment to reciprocate negativity received from others.
I'm working hard. I'm running laps
Stating the effort put into hard work and perseverance.
When you call me up I'm running back
Readiness to respond when called upon.
I'm working hard. I'm running laps
Reiteration of dedication to hard work.
When you call me up I'm running back
Readiness to return when called upon.
Feel the need to drink on most days
Repeating the inclination to drink on most days.
Keep telling myself that I'm okay
Continued self-reassurance despite the inclination to drink.
Never on my own but never so lonely
Emphasizing the paradox of being surrounded by others but feeling lonely.
Never on my own but never so lonely
Reiteration of the contradiction between company and loneliness.
No one would hire me
Expressing difficulty in finding employment.
If only they read my diary
Wishing for understanding through the metaphor of a diary.
I'm tired of you, you tired of me
Expressing mutual exhaustion in a relationship.
I'm tired of you, you tired of me
Repeating the theme of exhaustion in a relationship.
No one would hire me
Reiterating the challenge of finding employment.
If only they read my diary
Repeating the desire for understanding through the diary.
I'm tired of you, you tired of me
Emphasizing the mutual fatigue in the relationship.
I'm tired of you, yeah
Expressing personal fatigue in the relationship.
Feel the need to drink on most days
Reiterating the inclination to drink on most days.
Keep telling myself that I'm Okay
Continued self-reassurance despite the inclination to drink.
Never on my own but never so lonely
Emphasizing the paradox of being surrounded by others but feeling lonely.
Never on my own but never so lonely
Reiteration of the contradiction between company and loneliness.
Never on my own but never so lonely
Repeating the paradox of being never alone but always lonely.
Never on my own but never so lonely
Reiteration of the contradiction between company and loneliness.
Feel the need to drink on most days
Repeating the inclination to drink on most days.
Keep telling myself that I'm Okay
Continued self-reassurance despite the inclination to drink.
Never on my own but never so lonely
Emphasizing the paradox of being surrounded by others but feeling lonely.
Never on my own but never so lonely
