O.K. With My Decay Lyrics
I woke up Tuesday morning
to coming down
without a sound
coming back down
The pressure put upon me
it goes and goes
til it thinks it got me
it tries and tries
as it might to trick me
to breaking back down
I'm OK
In truth I say
I'm OK
In truth I say
I'm OK
With my decay
I have no choice
I have no voice
I have no say
On my decay
I have no choice
so I'll rejoice
I'm OK
With my decay
I have no choice
I have no voice
I have no say
On my decay
I have no choice
so I'll rejoice
I'm OK
I'm OK
I'm OK
I'm OK
I'm OK
I'm OK
to coming down
without a sound
coming back down
it goes and goes
til it thinks it got me
it tries and tries
as it might to trick me
to breaking back down
In truth I say
I'm OK
In truth I say
I'm OK
With my decay
I have no choice
I have no voice
I have no say
On my decay
I have no choice
so I'll rejoice
With my decay
I have no choice
I have no voice
I have no say
On my decay
I have no choice
so I'll rejoice
I'm OK
I'm OK
I'm OK
I'm OK
I'm OK

Yes, depressing, but at the same time you have to admire the honesty. And all of us have to admit that we have felt that way at one time or another: powerless to change your life, you embrace the thought that you're in a bad place and thus stop worrying about it.
It's a little like Nietzsche said, "The thought of suicide is a great consolation: by means of it one gets successfully through many a bad night."
There is a different meaning, if you look at what decay is, the slow process of dying. Not suicide, just getting old and realizing for the first time you are getting old. That you have some wisdom and some life left but that you know it will end and you have to just embrace it.

i think its more about accepting one's own mortality and celebrating it
I tend to agree with your view; an old colleague of mine from where I work says he wants this track played at his funeral :-)

I think the decay is a reference to ageing and thus mortality; suicide won't help that.
