Tell me that you're alright
Yeah, everything is alright
Oh, please tell me that you're alright
Yeah, everything is alright

Give me a reason to end this discussion
To break with tradition, to fall and divide
'Cause I hate the ocean, theme parks and airplanes
Talking with strangers, waiting in line
I'm through with these pills that make me sit still
(Are you feeling fine?) Yes, I'm feeling fine

Tell me that you're alright
Yeah, everything is alright
Oh, please tell me that you're alright
Yeah, everything is alright

I'm sick of the things I do when I'm nervous
Like cleaning the oven or checking my tires
Or counting the number of tiles in the ceiling
Head for the hills, the kitchen's on fire

I used to rely on self-medication
I guess I still do that from time to time
But I'm getting better at fighting the future
(Someday you'll be fine) yes, I'll be just fine

Tell me that you're alright
Yeah, everything is alright
Oh, please tell me that you're alright
Yeah, everything is alright

Give me a reason (I don't believe a word)
To end this discussion (of anything I've heard)
To break with tradition (they tell me that it's not so hard)
To fall and divide (it's not so hard)
So let's not get carried (away with everything)
Away with the process (from here to in-between)
Of healing relations (the long goodbye)
I don't want to waste your time

Tell me that you're alright
Yeah, everything is alright
Oh, please tell me that you're alright
Yeah, everything is alright

(Alright) tell me that you're alright
(Hi, everything is great) yeah, everything is alright
(Everything's fine) oh, please tell me that you're alright
(Hi, everything's great) yeah, everything is alright

Everything's fine
Everything's fine
Everything's fine
Everything's fine

    And idiots that try to put things like OCD, depression, GAD, psychosis, bipolar disorder, drug abuse, ADD/ADHD and all kinds of other stuff into one comment like it's about all of them because they feel the need to be right about it, go away. Don't lump disorders together like that. They have different names, different symptoms, different everything. No one cares if you have any of these disorders, at least not on a website. Christ.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Album art
Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
