Everything's Fine
Paper Planes and Thunderstorms: Navigating Life's Memories
Lyrics
Just one of those days
Expressing a challenging or difficult day
That you're feeling like a paper plane
Feeling vulnerable or directionless like a paper plane
Seeing nights and days
Experiencing both nights and days, implying a prolonged struggle
When you're being blown away
Feeling overwhelmed or overpowered
On a Sunday afternoon
Specific reference to a Sunday afternoon, a time of reflection
I thought that you knew
Suggesting a lack of understanding on the part of someone
When you put it in the sink
Symbolic act of putting something in the sink, possibly letting go
And watched the pouring rain
Observing the pouring rain, possibly representing emotional release
It's the coffee smell that makes
The aroma of coffee triggering reflection on the journey
Makes me wonder how we've got it this far
Reflecting on the journey and wondering about its progress
So far
Acknowledging the distance traveled
All that I can find
Searching for meaning or significance
In the scrapbooks and the letters
Mentions of keepsakes and written communication
Are memories that I
Unable to recall specific memories despite keepsakes
Can't seem to remember
Highlighting the struggle with memory and recollection
It's been a little while
Indicating a passage of time
But I guess that's alright
Acceptance or resignation towards the passing of time
All that I can see
Perception of memories from natural surroundings
From the forests to the rivers
Connecting memories to nature, emphasizing their importance
Are memories that I
Similar theme as in lines 13-15, struggling with memory
Can't seem to remember
Reiterating the acceptance of forgetfulness
It's been a little while
Reassurance that despite memory struggles, everything is fine
But everything's fine, right?
Confirmation of overall well-being despite challenges
Just one of those days
Repetition of the theme of a challenging day
That you're feeling like a paper plane
Reiteration of feeling vulnerable like a paper plane
Seeing nights and days
Recurrence of facing difficulties over time
When you're being blown away
Repeating the sense of being overwhelmed
On the early morning flight
Reference to an early morning flight, a new beginning
Too scared so you and I
Sharing a moment of fear or vulnerability with someone else
held hands and looked outside
Intimacy and connection during a challenging experience
Put your seatbelt on so tight
Ensuring safety during a turbulent period
It's the thunderstorm that lights
Metaphorical use of a thunderstorm, representing inner turmoil
Up my mind and can I call you tonight
Asking for reassurance or support
All that I can find
Continued search for meaning or understanding
In the scrapbooks and the letters
Repetition of themes related to keepsakes and written communication
Are memories that I
Continued struggle with memory and recollection
Can't seem to remember
Reiteration of the difficulty in remembering specific moments
It's been a little while
Acceptance of the passage of time and its impact on memory
But I guess that's alright
Acceptance of the passing of time and its impact on perception
All that I can see
Continued connection of memories to natural elements
From the forests to the rivers
Reiterating the importance of memories related to nature
Are memories that I
Continuation of the struggle with memory despite natural surroundings
Can't seem to remember
Repeating the acceptance of forgetfulness and its impact
It's been a little while
Continued acknowledgment of the passage of time
But everything's fine, right?
Final reassurance that despite challenges, everything is fine
