OK Not to Be OK
Embrace Imperfection: It's Okay Not to Be Okay
Lyrics
Feeling like a drop in the ocean
Expressing a sense of insignificance or unimportance in a vast environment
That don't nobody notice
Feeling unnoticed or overlooked by others
Maybe it's all just in your head
Suspecting that these feelings might be a product of one's imagination
Feeling like you're trapped in your own skin
Sensation of being confined or stuck in one's own identity
And now your body's frozen
Physical and emotional numbness or paralysis
Broken down, you've got nothing left
Reaching a point of breakdown with nothing left to give
When you're high on emotion
Experiencing heightened emotions
And you're losing your focus
Losing concentration or direction
And you feel too exhausted to pray
Feeling too tired or drained to engage in prayer
Don't get lost in the moment
Caution against getting too absorbed in the current emotional state
Or give up when you're closest
Encouragement not to give up, especially when success is near
All you need is somebody to say
Highlighting the importance of someone reassuringly saying...
It's okay not to be okay
"It's okay not to be okay"
It's okay not to be okay
Reiteration of the acceptance of vulnerability
When you're down and you feel ashamed
Acceptance of feeling down and acknowledging the associated shame
It's okay not to be okay
Reaffirmation that it's acceptable not to be okay
Feeling like your life's an illusion
Feeling as if life is not real or lacks substance
And lately, you're secluded
Recent tendencies to be isolated or withdrawn
Thinking you'll never get your chance
Doubting the possibility of getting opportunities or success
Feeling like you got no solution
Belief that there are no solutions to current problems
It's only 'cause you're human
Acknowledging human vulnerability and lack of control
No control, it's out of your hands
Acceptance that some things are beyond personal control
When you're high on emotion
Reiteration of the impact of intense emotions
And you're losing your focus
Experiencing a loss of concentration due to emotions
And you feel too exhausted to pray
Feeling too weary to engage in prayer
Don't get lost in the moment
Warning against losing oneself in a particular emotional state
Or give up when you're closest
Emphasizing the importance of persistence when success is near
All you need is somebody to say
Reiterating the need for someone to say...
It's okay not to be okay
"It's okay not to be okay"
It's okay not to be okay
Repeating the acceptance of vulnerability
When you're down and you feel ashamed
Acceptance of feeling down and experiencing shame
It's okay not to be okay
Reaffirmation that it's acceptable not to be okay
When you're high on emotion
Reiteration of the impact of intense emotions
And you're losing your focus
Experiencing a loss of concentration due to emotions
And you feel too exhausted to pray
Feeling too weary to engage in prayer
Don't get lost in the moment
Warning against losing oneself in a particular emotional state
Or give up when you're closest
Emphasizing the importance of persistence when success is near
All you need is somebody to say
Reiterating the need for someone to say...
It's okay not to be okay (ohh)
"It's okay not to be okay"
It's okay not to be okay (no, no, no)
Repeating the acceptance of vulnerability
When you're down and you feel ashamed
Acceptance of feeling down and experiencing shame
(When you feel ashamed)
Reaffirmation that it's acceptable not to be okay
It's okay not to be okay (no, no)
Reiteration of the need for someone to say...
It's okay not to be okay
"It's okay not to be okay"
