Not Okay
Unveiling Emotional Struggles: 'Not Okay' by The Late Night Call
Lyrics
Just one more time
Expressing a desire for one more opportunity or chance.
Thinking no
Denying a request or proposal.
I'm helping you to hide
Assisting in concealing something.
Thinking no
Reiterating a refusal or denial.
Escaping your reality
Avoiding facing the harsh realities of life.
For years I know you wasn't free
Acknowledging a period of time where the person wasn't truly free.
I did my best for your eternity
Putting forth maximum effort for the person's eternal well-being.
Knowing now
Realizing the current situation.
No, no, it's not okay
Expressing that the current state is not acceptable.
I'm not okay
Admitting personal emotional struggles and distress.
I'm tired
Feeling exhausted or fatigued.
Saying now
Affirming the present moment.
No, no, I know you're hurt
Understanding the other person's pain.
But your pain can't be mine
Recognizing the boundaries between one's own pain and that of others.
Anymore
Refusing to bear the burden of another's pain any longer.
The last two years I put you first
Prioritizing the other person in the past two years.
Just to make sure that you will be heard
Ensuring that the other person's voice is heard.
Two hearts are beating in your chest
Highlighting the complexity of the other person's emotions.
One's the one I protect, once a mess
Protecting one aspect of the other person, which was previously chaotic.
But it's your choice
Acknowledging the other person's freedom of choice.
I won't borrow my voice
Refusing to influence or control the other person's decisions.
No, no, it's not okay
Reiterating that the current situation is not acceptable.
I'm not okay
Affirming personal emotional struggles and distress again.
I'm tired
Expressing fatigue or exhaustion once more.
Saying now
Affirming the present moment again.
No, no, I know you're hurt
Understanding the other person's pain once more.
But your pain can't be mine
Emphasizing the distinction between personal and shared pain.
Anymore
Refusing to carry the weight of another's pain.
It's not okay, I'm not okay
Repeating the acknowledgment that the current situation is not acceptable.
I'm not okay, You're not okay
Expressing mutual dissatisfaction or distress.
You're not okay, I'm not okay
Reiterating mutual emotional struggles.
No, no more time
Stating that there is no more time for something.
I'm helping you to hide
Assisting in concealing something again.
It's your choice
Reaffirming the other person's freedom of choice.
I won't borrow my voice
Refusing to influence or control decisions once more.
No, no, it's not okay
Reiterating that the current situation is not acceptable again.
I'm not okay
Affirming personal emotional struggles and distress once more.
I'm tired
Expressing fatigue or exhaustion for the third time.
I'm tired
Emphasizing fatigue or exhaustion again.
I'm tired
Repeating the expression of fatigue or exhaustion.
I'm tired
Continuing to emphasize fatigue or exhaustion.
I'm tired
Persisting in expressing fatigue or exhaustion.
