about

“Today is OK” is an ode to life, with a twist. The song paints a picture of a beautiful day, the sun came out and the people are enjoying it. The chorus showcases hope but there is also the realization that we don’t really have a choice but to live our life here (in this society or this world). The main character of the Album feels unhappy where he is, and wants to go away but doesn’t really know where to. The rather heavy key of the song is produced in an uplifting way with dreamy guitars & synths and a determined drum loop, amplifying this sensation of hope.

lyrics

Kids playing outside
Parents at the job on the grind
The Sun is shining, beautiful day
Everybody tryna have a good time with no delay
Laid out right, everybody feeling nice
It's the perfect day
All the people realize it is worth it mane
Time and stress is all gone
The bond with life feels strong
Doesn't matter how bad yesterday been
Focus on now, they be saying
A lil sunshine can make night feel light
And the bright side of life arises
Makes the fun times last a long time

Life ain't feeling right here, but I don't know where to go
I believe in a better world, though
But I don't know whether it's true that hell is down below
I just know what I'm told

A regular day looks way different
The people gotta be delivering
Whether they can use their free time
Is written in the clouds
Time is just running out
I gotta do this
I gotta do it fast
I gotta learn quick
I'm hoping I can last
I'm really feeling like the life that I'm living
Is too much to deal with and I can not quit it
Not now
The people are thankful
Because their Life is not just a handful
To handle
They need balance and this day can be an example
What is truly right or wrong
I guess nobody knows
So enjoy your life and live your life
Let the others live
Cuz you don't know what they’re going through right
