Baby I'm Ok
Rising from Flames: Baby I'm Ok Unveils a Ghostly Tale
Lyrics
Woke up this morning could barely see
Waking up with impaired vision, difficulty seeing clearly.
But clear as a ghost you were in front of me
A clear vision or memory of someone present despite impaired sight.
I could have asked you what’s changed
The desire to inquire about changes in the person's life.
and how you’ve been
Curiosity about the individual's well-being.
But just like a statue I was frozen
Feeling paralyzed or unable to engage despite the opportunity to ask.
I could have asked you what’s changed
Reiteration of the desire to inquire about changes in the person's life.
and how you’ve been
Curiosity about the individual's well-being.
But clear as a ghost you were in front of me
A repeated mention of a vivid memory of the person despite the visual impairment.
I could’ve sworn that I saw you
Repeatedly feeling certain of seeing the person, an affirmation of this perception.
Could have sworn
-I could’ve sworn that I saw you
-Could have sworn
-Baby, baby I’m ok
Expressing personal emotional stability despite the confusion or uncertainty.
I could have sworn that you fell to the flames From the ashes From the fire and you rise
Reiteration of personal emotional stability despite perceptions of the person's demise and subsequent revival.
I will rise and fall again
-Aaaaayaaaa
-Baby, baby I’m ok
-I could have sworn that you fell to the flames From the ashes From the fire and you rise
-I will rise and fall again
-Aaaaayaaaa
-I should have told you so many things I’d wish I’d said
Regret over unexpressed sentiments or missed opportunities due to emotional paralysis.
But just like a statue I was frozen
-On a second you were here and then the next it was the end
-But clear as a ghost you were in front of me
-I could have sworn that I saw you
Reiteration of the certainty of perceiving the person, emphasizing this vivid image despite the emotional hindrance.
Could have sworn
-I could have sworn That I saw you
-Could have sworn
-Baby, baby I’m ok
Continued affirmation of personal emotional stability amid perceptions of the person's demise and resurgence.
I could have sworn that you fell to the flames From the ashes From the fire and you rise
-I will rise and fall again
-Aaaaayaaaa
-Tanqueray and champagne
Symbolic references to indulgence (Tanqueray, champagne) and the cleansing of past emotions.
Now they feed my soul
-Rainy days wash away
-All those words we’ve told
-We made our wrongs
Acknowledgment of mistakes in a relationship but a plea not to be forced into prayer or regret.
But humans just make mistakes
-Mistakes
-We made our wrongs
-Don’t make me pray
-I’m ok
Reiteration of personal emotional stability and refusal to succumb to regrets or prayers.
I’m ok
-Baby, baby I’m ok
Continued affirmation of personal emotional stability despite perceptions of the person's demise and revival.
I could have sworn that you fell to the flames From the ashes From the fire and you rise
-I will rise and fall again
-Aaaaayaaaa
-Baby, baby I’m ok
-I could have sworn that you fell to the flames From the ashes From the fire and you rise
-I will rise and fall again
-Aaaaayaaaa
-Baby, baby I’m ok
Final reaffirmation of personal emotional stability.
