I'm Not Alright Lyrics
All dressed up
In a white straight jacket
Shut your mouth
No, you can't have it
Paper airplanes
Open window
Here today
And gone tomorrow
[Chorus]
I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape
I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mind
Are you okay?
'Cause I feel fine
Maybe it's me,
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
All messed up
And slightly twisted
Am I sick
Or am I gifted
Paper airplanes
Open window
Here today
And gone tomorrow
I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape
I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mind
Are you okay?
'Cause I feel fine
Maybe it's me,
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
Whoa
I don't care if you apologize
I can't lie
Whoa
I can't lie
I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape
I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mind
Are you okay?
'Cause I feel fine
Maybe it's me,
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
In a white straight jacket
Shut your mouth
No, you can't have it
Open window
Here today
And gone tomorrow
I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape
I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mind
Are you okay?
'Cause I feel fine
Maybe it's me,
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
And slightly twisted
Am I sick
Or am I gifted
Open window
Here today
And gone tomorrow
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape
I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mind
Are you okay?
'Cause I feel fine
Maybe it's me,
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
I don't care if you apologize
I can't lie
Whoa
I can't lie
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape
I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mind
Are you okay?
'Cause I feel fine
Maybe it's me,
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
Maybe I like that I'm not alright

This song means that nobody is perfect and everyone has their own quirks or is a little insane inside. Brent is saying that he is alright with being weird and a little insane and you should too.
Brent doesn't say to HURT other people, especially those who matter.

When did I say he said to hurt other people?

"And slowly losing my mind" instead of "Its just for losing my mind"
"Am I sick or am I gifted?" instead of "And my sick are in my gifted"
I feel it is saying something abnormal can either be considered freakish or beautiful. Certain mental illnesses will bless a person in one way and hinder them in other ways.
This song is about someone suicidal in a straight jacket. He compares the straight jacket to a paper airplane when he makes his "great escape". Is he sick or gifted? Not being alright is a gift for him.
It seems to me as if the song is about a lonely introvert whom live in their own world and they like and nobody else can have what they got
Would someone please tell me what Songmeanings (staff) does when you post a "lyrics correction." Is the song later corrected? Just curious.
I don't know. People that post lyrics on here are terrible at it!
