Alright, Ok

Lyrics
The way that I get around the things that I'm afraid of is just to pretend someday I will
The speaker copes with fears by pretending that someday they'll overcome those fears.
The way that I get around the things that I am scared of is just to pretend there is a pill
Similar to line 1, the speaker deals with fears by imagining there's a solution like a pill to alleviate them.
Someday I'm gonna take the biggest pill ever & then I'll be high as a kite
The speaker fantasizes about taking a monumental step to feel a euphoric high, possibly metaphorically through a major change.
I never took a drug I've never drank no drink but I've never been quite alright
The speaker hasn't indulged in drugs or alcohol but hasn't found a sense of true well-being or contentment.
Alright, ok
An affirmation expressing a feeling of being just alright or acceptable despite underlying struggles.
Don't fight, just stay
Encouragement to accept the current situation without resisting.
The way that I get around what's less than entertaining is just to put on a uniform
To cope with boredom or dissatisfaction, the speaker metaphorically wears a façade or adopts a role.
And when I put it on I'm suddenly a lady and then I'm dramatic and demure
Putting on this 'uniform' transforms the speaker into someone refined and controlled.
Someday I'm gonna take the biggest leap ever & then I'll be high as the moon
An aspiration to take a massive leap or risk to achieve an exhilarating feeling, possibly symbolic of a major change.
I never took a drug I never drank no drink but I've never been sane too soon

The way that I get around the things that I am scared is just to pretend I am the cure
The speaker copes with fear by imagining themselves as the solution or answer to everything, leading to confidence.
For everything everybody's ever needed & then I am confident and sure
By embodying this idea of being a cure, the speaker feels assured and self-assured.
Someday I'm gonna take the biggest risk ever and then I'll be hot as the sun
An aspiration to take a monumental risk that would make the speaker feel powerful and radiant.
I never took a drug I never drank moonshine but I've never loved anyone
Despite not engaging in certain experiences, the speaker hasn't experienced genuine love for anyone.
