It really does, no joke. And kinda miraculous to be able write a song that can have that kind of reach. It's one of the most powerful songs I have ever heard.
this song helped me realise that i wasn't overreacting about an abusive relationship. my friends all thought i was being dramatic, but "there's a reason i behaved that way". thank you so much. i know you won't see this, but if by some miracle you do: this song helped save a girl's life. i'm forever grateful, and this will always be something i know i can turn to when i'm feeling lost.
This is.. phenomenal. I don't know how to put it into words, but when I have a meltdown I repeat self-deprecating words or phrases to myself. To hear you guys sing "It's alright, it's okay" over and over at a fast pace really calms me down. It replaces those negative thoughts. You have no idea how much you've made an impact on my life from the first song I've heard all those years ago. 😢
Yes! This. The lyrics are dead on for me, words I have said to myself (especially the refrain), but then the chorus is like an accepting touch and forgiving hug.
IT'S UNACCEPTABLE, THIS ALBUM AND ALL OF YOUR OTHER ALBUMS SHOULD BE PLAYING ON THE RADIO AND HITTING THE CHARTS HONESTLY SUCH AMAZING MUSIC AND TALENT AND EVERYTHING AND IT'S NOT APPRECIATED AS MUCH AS IT SHOULD BE 😤 LYSM
As someone who holds themself to the impossible standard of being perfect (Where are my fellow "academically gifted" people at?), this song has helped me so much. Thank you. I am in a really dark place right now and you have no idea how many times this song has prevented me from doing something bad, something I would regret. I am sincerely grateful.
HUGE MOOD RN. I'm about to be a mother and I'm so scared I'm gonna mess up. I listen to this song and it feels like a pat on the back or a long hug. Things will be alright and ok.
I cried myself to sleep while listening to a one hour version of this becoming of the chaos on the world . At the end of the day this song warms my heart.
oh man do you know how useful this song would have been to me when I was young Before I knew what intrusive thoughts were Before I knew I wasn't a shitty person for messing up Before I realized that I'm actually trying here. I truly hope this song finds people who need it and comforts them when they can't quite stop those thoughts.
I’m one of those people. It does. it helps so so much. my internal monologue is just this frantic awful downward spiral and it takes genuine effort to dismantle each fucking intrusive thought that pops up every other moment, but this song just......replaces all of that for approximately three minutes, and it’s such a relief every time. I’m really glad you left this comment and I’m really glad I thought to scroll down and read it. that’s all.
Yeah Im so glad for this song, Im young but ive gone through a lifetime of shit and this song was one of the first songs to recovery, wishing you well internet stranger.
It does comfort me, so much. I'm so grateful for this song, it helps when I'm overthinking and worrying. Or hating myself. Or even just rly embarrassed. It reminds me the problem isn't gonna kill, and I'll be ok
I think this album is about therapy Just like you, when this came out I thought it was great to see the new tone. Mother Mother's songs were like "I'm fucked up and I don't know what to do with myself", I liked that tone because it resonated with me, I could feel the lyrics. But these songs are more like "Yes I am fucked up, but I want to do things to get better". It melted my heart, I was so moved by that change I cried a bit the first time I listened to it haha Although I was moved, I didn`t understand some of the lyrics, especially the bridge. It didn`t make sense to me at all, I just thought it was some cool lyrics added to make the song more interesting. I was wrong You'll see, recently I started to go to psychoanalytic therapy wich it is all about understanding why you act the way you do and why you feel the way you do, but boy it is REALLY hard and painful to get to know yourself and your past if you are as fucked up as me, but at the same time it has brought to me so much peace knowing there is nothing wrong with me, there is a reason why I'm like this and I can get better, but I gotta allow myself to feel the pain to get there. Here is where the lyrics started to make sense "It's alright, It's okay, it's alright, it's okay You're not a demon, there's a reason You're behaving that way It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay And I believe, yes I believe that you will see a better day I don't wanna know who I am 'Cause heaven only knows what I find I don't wanna know I'm not capable of coming out alive I don't wanna see what's inside I think that I would rather be blind I don't wanna know I'm not capable, I'm capable I'm alright..." Same thing for So Down. I liked that song a lot but I didn't understand it until I went to therapy. It talks about how down he is and how he is unable to love, but suddenly... "And I believe, I believe in the pain, man Yeah I believe it's the way to find peace again" Perhaps I'm reflecting myself a little bit on this one, but it is oddly fitting to me right now Oh yeah, there is Get Up too, that song is like cognitive behavioral therapy in a nutshell, which I also went to but it wasn't as effective or as painful as psychoanalytic therapy is for me, but it still was really helpful because it made me understand I have the power to take control of my own life, even if I feel like I do not. That is what Get Up is all about Oh man I love this change. I think Mother Mother's charm is on their genuine and personal lyrics, Makes me really happy they went from deep self-hate songs like Have It Out to these wholesome songs like It's Alright, what a nice change, I'm so proud of them :)))
I have gone through hell as well and have been going to therapy for past 16 months or so and let me tell you, this song is my cry song. My main problem was that I was abused to the point where I thought it was my fault, i thought id never be good enough, and so when I first heard this song, these words, "Youre not a demon, theres a reason youre behaving that way" and so on, it helped me relize It wasnt my fault. Props for sharing your story btw, I hope you are doing well!
Oh, It's alright, oh Oh hey, I had a night I had a day I did one million stupid things I said one billion foolish things I'm not okay, I got a baseball bat beside my bed To fight off what's inside my head To fight off what's behind my meds I'm lonely; lost in pain It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay You're not a monster, just a human And you made a few mistakes It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay You're not gruesome, just human And you made a few mistakes It's alright, oh, it's okay, oh Goddamn I throw a brick right through the window My life ignored the signals I'm high and drunk on ego, can't see straight So I just feel my way around man I'm touching and I'm grabbing everything I can't be havin' I am broken down in shame It's alright, It's okay, it's alright, it's okay You're not a demon, there's a reason You're behaving that way It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay And I believe, yes I believe that you will see a better day It's alright, oh, it's okay, oh, it's alright, oh I don't wanna know who I am 'Cause heaven only knows what I find I don't wanna know I'm not capable of coming out alive I don't wanna see what's inside I think that I would rather be blind I don't wanna know I'm not capable, I'm capable I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay I'm not a monster, I'm a human And I made a few mistakes I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay I'm not gruesome, just human And I made a few It's alright, It's okay, it's alright, it's okay You're not a demon, there's a reason You're behaving that way It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay I believe, yes I believe that you'll see a better day It's alright, oh, it's okay, oh, it's (alright, oh)
I just wanna point out that it's actually "You're not gruesome, just human" rather than "You're not grouse, I'm just human" But thank you for typing the lyrics out for everyone nonetheless!
Thanks for typing the lyrics out! Couple small things (in addition to the "gruesome" part that's been mentioned already): *"To fight off what's inside my head To fight off what's behind my meds" "And you made a few mistakes" rather than "That you made of your mistakes" "I throw a brick right through the window of my life, ignore the signals" "Heaven only knows what I'd find"
@@mannequinparty ok I am gonna just sit down and retype the lyrics because even tho I feel like I have listened to this song like 20 times already I didn't have time and was just typing when i did this one. I am very sorry for getting the lyrics wrong and any trouble or confusion this has caused!
As someone with schizophrenia, this song helps me fight my daily demons so much. I’ve been listening to it at least weekly for years. It means so much to me.
This is hands down my favourite song from the album, although maybe So Down would be if I hadn't played it a small thousand times before the album dropped. This song, along with the rest of the album, seems to fulfill that need to have someone relate to you when you feel self depreciating. Unlike other songs, however, it's whole essence seems to push you upward rather than just relate. I love that, and it may just be me, but it almost seems as if this comes from a spot where Jasmin and Molly are playing a supportive role for Ryan in his life, and actually hearing that kind of bond in a song is phenomenal! Hold onto this family of a band, Ryan!
I'm in the process of seeing doctors, mental health staff and a psychiatrist in order to figure out what's going on with me. It's scary but this song makes me feel alright. Thank you Mother Mother for giving me some freedom in a very prisoned mind.
this song gave me sm comfort everyone else failed to provide. "its alright, it's okay, you're not a monster" "and you've made a few mistakes".. Hits different.
Used to listen to this 3 years ago, It really helped. Something about hearing 'It's alright, it's okay' felt comforting to hear after laying in bed alone after relapsing. I'm glad I found it again, still a phenomenal song.
I have never heard of a comfort song until now. All the other songs have a certain touch of selfishness when they sing about their problems and that’s okay but this truly comforts me and is also relatable.
Thank You Mother Mother. This Song Came On In The Middle As I Was Having A Meltdown. It’s Unbelievable How A Few Words Can Make All The Difference. Again, Thank You All- You Probably Wont Read This But Still. You’ll Always Be My Favourite Band.
Four years I used use this song to calm myself down enough to sleep in a traumatizing environment, I still really appreciate that this song exists even though I haven’t been able to listen to it much since then
I am a very emotionless person especially when it comes to movies and songs but this song Oh this song, the first time that i actually listened to this song and its lyrics something just clicked and now after having a long day of being insecure about myself and my mistakes, hearing someone saying how they're insecure and how in the end they change their mind and become more assertive about how their fine and there's nothing wrong with them it makes me cry. I am addicted to mother mother, thank you for all the joy and tears that your music has brought me.
[Intro] Oh, It's alright, oh [Verse] Oh hey, I had a night I had a day I did one million stupid things I said one billion foolish things I'm not okay, I got a baseball bat beside my bed To fight off what's inside my head The fight off what's behind my meds I'm lonely; lost in pain [Chorus] It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay You're not a monster, just a human And you made a few mistakes It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay You're not gruesome, just human And you made a few mistakes It's alright, oh, it's okay, oh [Verse 2] Goddamn I throw a brick right through the window My life ignored the signals I'm high and drunk on ego, can't see straight So I just feel my way around man I'm touching and I'm grabbing everything I can't be havin' I am broken down in shame [Chorus 2] It's alright, It's okay, it's alright, it's okay You're not a demon, there's a reason You're behaving that way It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay And I believe, yes I believe that you will see a better day It's alright, oh, it's okay, oh, it's alright, oh [Bridge] I don't wanna know who I am 'Cause heaven only knows what I find I don't wanna know I'm not capable of coming out alive I don't wanna see what's inside I think that I would rather be blind I don't wanna know I'm not capable, I'm capable [Chorus] I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay I'm not a monster, I'm a human And I made a few mistakes I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay I'm not gruesome, just human And I made a few It's alright, It's okay, it's alright, it's okay You're not a demon, there's a reason You're behaving that way It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay I believe, yes I believe that you will see a better day It's alright, oh, it's okay, oh, it's alright, oh
so songs don't usually make me cry but this one really hits hard. i had a breakdown earlier, and i've been listening to music to try and distract myself from my thoughts. i love this band and i hadn't yet listened to this new album, and i started with this song... it's the first time i've heard this song and it's something i needed to hear. thanks so much for this song
hey. your music has always meant a lot to me. i connect a lot as a severly mentally ill person. This song means a lot to me. its helped me to much, its so helpful to have something gentle and comforting like this. to make me feel better. i like the dark songs that i relate to in the dark times, but this is something that makes me healthier.
This song is so powerful. Of all the songs that try to send out the message that "everything's going to be okay", this is the only one that has truly ever reached out to me. Truly impactful 👏😢
I don't think I'll ever be able to put into words how much this song has saved me. I never thought the words "It's alright, it's okay," could ever hold so much weight in my life. But they do. And I believe I'll see a better day.
FINALLY i've been slowly tracking down all the unlisted videos for the album that i happened to find but im glad they publicly released all of them !! loving the album so far btw 💞
God this song man... it’s the third song to make me cry on this album. It’s beautiful. I mean this band has so much impact on my life... it take to long to describe it all. And what really stands out to me in this song is that it’s made clear you’re human. And humans make mistakes... this song tells us that we aren’t monsters and we aren’t demons and WE ARE NOT EVIL. With so many songs defining the singer as crazy or a monster it means something to hear the opposite.
I love this song. I cannot listen to this song without crying because it touches me deeply. Sometimes the hardest thing we can do is look ourselves in the mirror and accept who we are.There are reasons we do what we do, and we may not be aware of these ourselves, but no matter who you are, you are alright, you are ok. We all have things that get in the way of being the person we truly want to be, but we can rise above the person we were and become the person we love. We are all worthy of finding ourselves and loving who we are. Past mistakes don't need to come with us into our future if we can accept them for what they were, and learn from them. There is joy and happiness underneath the shadows of self doubt and self deprecation.
As someone who struggles with clinical depression and an anxiety disorder, this song is amazing for listening to when I'm down in a depressive rut, or close to panicking. Whenever I overthink things I did long ago, it is great to have a song that somehow manages to help with all of my insecurities.
I don’t think I’ve ever related to a song more than this one. When I was younger, I remember a specific day during summer vacation when I was first called a demon by my mother. I was constantly referred to as one in the days to follow by my family. The lyric “I’m not a demon” hit me hard, for sure. Thank you for this.
It's like you guys heard all the times I've chanted "it's okay, it's okay, it's okay" in my head. I know what go to song I have now when I have a bad day, thank you Mother Mother!
There isn't a song I wouldn't play so far. Really good! It's a different style, but not to different. It's really pretty and energetic. But still meaningful
This song is so fucking amazing. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who needed this back when they were depressed. This song would have made me bawl my eyes out and have a little hope that I was alright, that I was okay. It makes me so happy listening to it now, when I have such a better outlook on life and I'm so glad I learned to say nice things to myself, as this song is telling you to do. I thoroughly enjoy the fact that the pre-chorus gets a little more intense as you go through the song, quiet with only the guitar at the start, up to the end with the drums and all the instruments when Ryan sings along with the "small positive voice" in his head. He decides to listen to the positive voice and believe it :) I'll say it again; I fucking love this song so much ♡
I love this song so much... I can't even put it into words Everyone makes mistakes, it's human, it's alright, it's okay. We don't have to hate ourselves for them.
this means so much to me, ive repeated "its alright its okay" to myself over and over so many nights and hearing it in such a beautiful song brings some more hope
Before I can catch myself I start repeating "I hate myself" over and over and it's so hard to stop. Even on a good day it's in the back of my mind on a loop. Sometimes I try to quiet my mind by repeating something else like "it's okay, I forgive you". That's what this song reminds me of.. trying to quiet the deep self hatred. Thank you, MM.
I'm almost two months clean, and I don't think I could have done it without this song. literally just my calm-down song at this point edit: 3 years guys! it gets better!!
Omg same! I'm 2 months and 1 day clean. I wanted to do it again today and I hated myself, but I listen to this on loop whenever I feel rly shitty, and it helps sm
God, do I ever wish I had this song when I was all alone in middle school or in my sophomore year dealing with the worst bouts of depression I'd ever had. But, I have it now - and it does wonders for my not-so-rational train of thought I take when things get Bad.
I just want to thank you all . Your band has helped me through so hard time . Thank you for saving my life. Your music is amazing . I hope you all have a great life
Ok, I did not expect your new album to hit me so deeply in the soul that it moved me to tears, but it has ;w; This song, and "Get Up" are the songs I listen to on repeat when everything that's wrong with me attempts to tell me I'm a monster undeserving of the slightest bit of love. So thank you, because there are more days than not that I keep on needing to hear that
i remember hearing this song on the radio and being shocked. "what! this is actually a well meaning, really nice song!" because all the other songs i had heard were the same repition of "girl baby i love you baby so much baby".
This song literally prevented me from committing the 'cide'. It helped me in ways that other people wouldn't along as other Mother Mother songs. This is my favorite album, like, ever. I always acted strange to people because of my depression combined with my self-deprecation, and hearing the lyrics "You're not a monster, just a human And you made a few mistakes." Makes me feel something every time. If I could explain my feelings to someone, this would be one of my top songs to show someone my pain. I will be alright. I will be okay. As long as I think like this, I might become okay one day. I might see a better day. It might become alright soon. I just need to try. You will be alright. You will be okay. One day, one day very soon if you open up to someone that you trust. You are not a monster, you are a human who made a few mistakes. I know that I did. Just because you might not love yourself, that doesn't mean that other people don't love you. I need to take my own advice.
So the first time i heard this song i was dopesick in my bed coughing up blood jittery and just not having a good time stuck in my bed for a couple days and this song played and i put it on repeat until i got through it so thank you for this song cause its most of the reason i got through it
I feel kind of bad joining ya later than sooner, but I'm glad i found you. You express emotion through music in a way that feels real. I love it, no matter if I'm diving in that hole or climbing out, you make it feel OK, or at least relatable.
The fear of never getting better but pushing anyway. It's alright, it's okay. Keep trying. I love this message so much, it feels so personal to me. I love you, have a nice day everyone ♥️
this is the kind of track that saves lives...literally...this song will save lives.
their whole long list of songs they've made over the years make you feel like you're not alone it's so powerful i love it
It already has. :)
God knows it saved mine Jesus Christ
it's saved mine so many times already- and i'm so glad it has
It really does, no joke. And kinda miraculous to be able write a song that can have that kind of reach. It's one of the most powerful songs I have ever heard.
this song helped me realise that i wasn't overreacting about an abusive relationship. my friends all thought i was being dramatic, but "there's a reason i behaved that way". thank you so much. i know you won't see this, but if by some miracle you do: this song helped save a girl's life. i'm forever grateful, and this will always be something i know i can turn to when i'm feeling lost.
This is.. phenomenal. I don't know how to put it into words, but when I have a meltdown I repeat self-deprecating words or phrases to myself.

Same bro but with PAT!D,TOP,The score and Fall out Boy
Same a lot of music helps me
Yes! This. The lyrics are dead on for me, words I have said to myself (especially the refrain), but then the chorus is like an accepting touch and forgiving hug.
I listen to Lenka's "Everything's Okay" for this.
This song is alright its okay
IT'S UNACCEPTABLE, THIS ALBUM AND ALL OF YOUR OTHER ALBUMS SHOULD BE PLAYING ON THE RADIO AND HITTING THE CHARTS HONESTLY SUCH AMAZING MUSIC AND TALENT AND EVERYTHING AND IT'S NOT APPRECIATED AS MUCH AS IT SHOULD BE 😤 LYSM
I hear it on the radio all the time. But not the pop one i guess
@@jackwilson2519 REALLY?
Truth
this song felt like a big warm hug
thanks for everything
Kenny! 😊
LMAO
YOUR PROFILE SAYS GUESS I'LL DIE-

I am in a really dark place right now and you have no idea how many times this song has prevented me from doing something bad, something I would regret. I am sincerely grateful.
A year later but I'm here
1.5 years later but I feel you
We're with you
Burnt out gifted kid present✋
Since your comment was 2 years ago i hope you're okay now, you deserve it
catch me crying my eyes out listening to this,
xKittyKat Yes! I don’t think a song has ever brought me to tears. This one has and still does every time I connect with my body while listening to it.
HUGE MOOD RN. I'm about to be a mother and I'm so scared I'm gonna mess up. I listen to this song and it feels like a pat on the back or a long hug. Things will be alright and ok.

Oh, It's alright, oh
Oh hey, I had a night I had a day
I did one million stupid things
I said one billion foolish things
I'm not okay, I got a baseball bat beside my bed
To fight off what's inside my head
To fight off what's behind my meds
I'm lonely; lost in pain
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not a monster, just a human
And you made a few mistakes
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not gruesome, just human
And you made a few mistakes
It's alright, oh, it's okay, oh
Goddamn
I throw a brick right through the window
My life ignored the signals
I'm high and drunk on ego, can't see straight
So I just feel my way around man
I'm touching and I'm grabbing everything I can't be havin'
I am broken down in shame
It's alright, It's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not a demon, there's a reason
You're behaving that way
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay

Thanks for typing the lyrics out! Couple small things (in addition to the "gruesome" part that's been mentioned already):
*"To fight off what's inside my head
To fight off what's behind my meds"
"And you made a few mistakes" rather than "That you made of your mistakes"
"I throw a brick right through the window of my life, ignore the signals"
"Heaven only knows what I'd find"
@@mannequinparty ok I am gonna just sit down and retype the lyrics because even tho I feel like I have listened to this song like 20 times already I didn't have time and was just typing when i did this one.
I am very sorry for getting the lyrics wrong and any trouble or confusion this has caused!
Thank you @@ColorfullCute for typing up the lyrics, it's much appreciated.
Such an amazing song. Album of the year.
Woww😱😱😱
As someone with schizophrenia, this song helps me fight my daily demons so much. I’ve been listening to it at least weekly for years. It means so much to me.
This is hands down my favourite song from the album, although maybe So Down would be if I hadn't played it a small thousand times before the album dropped.
This song, along with the rest of the album, seems to fulfill that need to have someone relate to you when you feel self depreciating. Unlike other songs, however, it's whole essence seems to push you upward rather than just relate. I love that, and it may just be me, but it almost seems as if this comes from a spot where Jasmin and Molly are playing a supportive role for Ryan in his life, and actually hearing that kind of bond in a song is phenomenal! Hold onto this family of a band, Ryan!
at this point i think we can agree mother mother has genuinely literaly saved lives
I still love how after 2:05 the perspective of the song changes to first person and i think that's Beautiful :'))
I'm in the process of seeing doctors, mental health staff and a psychiatrist in order to figure out what's going on with me. It's scary but this song makes me feel alright.
Thank you Mother Mother for giving me some freedom in a very prisoned mind.
I just did all that in Dec. It’s not easy, and the work that follows is even harder. This song connects with that.
Relatable
this song gave me sm comfort everyone else failed to provide. "its alright, it's okay, you're not a monster" "and you've made a few mistakes".. Hits different.
Words cannot express how important this message is to me right now. Beautiful song, thank you
Used to listen to this 3 years ago, It really helped.
Something about hearing 'It's alright, it's okay' felt comforting to hear after laying in bed alone after relapsing.
I'm glad I found it again, still a phenomenal song.
I wont be sleeping tonight, there is new Mother Mother.
Loving the style of this album so far. It sounds so good.
YES THE NEW ALBUM, LOVED Y'ALL SINCE O MY HEART OMFG I'M SO HAPPY RN
ME TOO LETS CRY AND DANCE TOGETHER
I have never heard of a comfort song until now. All the other songs have a certain touch of selfishness when they sing about their problems and that’s okay but this truly comforts me and is also relatable.
Thank You Mother Mother.
This Song Came On In The Middle As I Was Having A Meltdown. It’s Unbelievable How A Few Words Can Make All The Difference.
Again, Thank You All- You Probably Wont Read This But Still. You’ll Always Be My Favourite Band.
Four years I used use this song to calm myself down enough to sleep in a traumatizing environment, I still really appreciate that this song exists even though I haven’t been able to listen to it much since then
I needed this song. Thank you Mother Mother for all your amazing work.
Thank you so much for this song. It's simply radical that this song can break me out of my spiral of shit and sobbing whenever I listen to it.
Damn, more supportive and comforting than anything in my life.
I am a very emotionless person especially when it comes to movies and songs but this song
Oh this song, the first time that i actually listened to this song and its lyrics something just clicked and now after having a long day of being insecure about myself and my mistakes, hearing someone saying how they're insecure and how in the end they change their mind and become more assertive about how their fine and there's nothing wrong with them it makes me cry. I am addicted to mother mother, thank you for all the joy and tears that your music has brought me.
I'm not sure if the whole changing mind is the message that is supposed to be interpreted, but that's how I interpret it
[Intro]
Oh, It's alright, oh
[Verse]
Oh hey, I had a night I had a day
I did one million stupid things
I said one billion foolish things
I'm not okay, I got a baseball bat beside my bed
To fight off what's inside my head
The fight off what's behind my meds
I'm lonely; lost in pain
[Chorus]
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not a monster, just a human
And you made a few mistakes
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not gruesome, just human
And you made a few mistakes
It's alright, oh, it's okay, oh
[Verse 2]
Goddamn
I throw a brick right through the window
My life ignored the signals
I'm high and drunk on ego, can't see straight
So I just feel my way around man
I'm touching and I'm grabbing everything I can't be havin'
I am broken down in shame
[Chorus 2]
It's alright, It's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not a demon, there's a reason
You're behaving that way
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
And I believe, yes I believe that you will see a better day
It's alright, oh, it's okay, oh, it's alright, oh
[Bridge]
I don't wanna know who I am
'Cause heaven only knows what I find
I don't wanna know I'm not capable of coming out alive
I don't wanna see what's inside
I think that I would rather be blind
I don't wanna know I'm not capable, I'm capable
[Chorus]
I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay
I'm not a monster, I'm a human
And I made a few mistakes
I'm alright, I'm okay, I'm alright, I'm okay
I'm not gruesome, just human
And I made a few
It's alright, It's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not a demon, there's a reason
You're behaving that way
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
I believe, yes I believe that you will see a better day
It's alright, oh, it's okay, oh, it's alright, oh
so songs don't usually make me cry but this one really hits hard. i had a breakdown earlier, and i've been listening to music to try and distract myself from my thoughts. i love this band and i hadn't yet listened to this new album, and i started with this song... it's the first time i've heard this song and it's something i needed to hear. thanks so much for this song
hey. your music has always meant a lot to me. i connect a lot as a severly mentally ill person. This song means a lot to me. its helped me to much, its so helpful to have something gentle and comforting like this. to make me feel better. i like the dark songs that i relate to in the dark times, but this is something that makes me healthier.
This song is so powerful.
Of all the songs that try to send out the message that "everything's going to be okay", this is the only one that has truly ever reached out to me. Truly impactful 👏😢
Sircutieyuki had this song in her video it's great
I don't think I'll ever be able to put into words how much this song has saved me. I never thought the words "It's alright, it's okay," could ever hold so much weight in my life. But they do. And I believe I'll see a better day.
finally got wifi after three days and hot damn i’ve been blessed
FINALLY i've been slowly tracking down all the unlisted videos for the album that i happened to find but im glad they publicly released all of them !! loving the album so far btw 💞
God this song man... it’s the third song to make me cry on this album. It’s beautiful. I mean this band has so much impact on my life... it take to long to describe it all. And what really stands out to me in this song is that it’s made clear you’re human. And humans make mistakes... this song tells us that we aren’t monsters and we aren’t demons and WE ARE NOT EVIL. With so many songs defining the singer as crazy or a monster it means something to hear the opposite.
I love this song. I cannot listen to this song without crying because it touches me deeply. Sometimes the hardest thing we can do is look ourselves in the mirror and accept who we are.There are reasons we do what we do, and we may not be aware of these ourselves, but no matter who you are, you are alright, you are ok. We all have things that get in the way of being the person we truly want to be, but we can rise above the person we were and become the person we love. We are all worthy of finding ourselves and loving who we are. Past mistakes don't need to come with us into our future if we can accept them for what they were, and learn from them. There is joy and happiness underneath the shadows of self doubt and self deprecation.
youre not a monster, just a human
As someone who struggles with clinical depression and an anxiety disorder, this song is amazing for listening to when I'm down in a depressive rut, or close to panicking. Whenever I overthink things I did long ago, it is great to have a song that somehow manages to help with all of my insecurities.
One of your best albums, and one of your best songs. Thanks, I loved it
I am constantly so.... blown away by you guys. Thank you.
I don’t think I’ve ever related to a song more than this one. When I was younger, I remember a specific day during summer vacation when I was first called a demon by my mother. I was constantly referred to as one in the days to follow by my family. The lyric “I’m not a demon” hit me hard, for sure. Thank you for this.
Just heard this on Boise, Idaho radio this morning ... absolutely rocked me. Beautiful song & lyrics.
It's like you guys heard all the times I've chanted "it's okay, it's okay, it's okay" in my head. I know what go to song I have now when I have a bad day, thank you Mother Mother!
There isn't a song I wouldn't play so far. Really good! It's a different style, but not to different. It's really pretty and energetic. But still meaningful
Ok sorry unrelated but is that serizawa I see in your icon 👀👀👀
This song is so fucking amazing. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who needed this back when they were depressed. This song would have made me bawl my eyes out and have a little hope that I was alright, that I was okay. It makes me so happy listening to it now, when I have such a better outlook on life and I'm so glad I learned to say nice things to myself, as this song is telling you to do.
I thoroughly enjoy the fact that the pre-chorus gets a little more intense as you go through the song, quiet with only the guitar at the start, up to the end with the drums and all the instruments when Ryan sings along with the "small positive voice" in his head. He decides to listen to the positive voice and believe it :)
I'll say it again; I fucking love this song so much ♡
I don't think there is a single Mother Mother song I don't ABSOLUTELY LOVE.
I love this song so much... I can't even put it into words
Everyone makes mistakes, it's human, it's alright, it's okay. We don't have to hate ourselves for them.
this means so much to me, ive repeated "its alright its okay" to myself over and over so many nights and hearing it in such a beautiful song brings some more hope
This song makes me bawl like a baby every single time I hear it :")
this is my favorite song from their new album
Before I can catch myself I start repeating "I hate myself" over and over and it's so hard to stop. Even on a good day it's in the back of my mind on a loop. Sometimes I try to quiet my mind by repeating something else like "it's okay, I forgive you". That's what this song reminds me of.. trying to quiet the deep self hatred. Thank you, MM.
This song had me in tears. The lyrics were exactly what I needed to hear at this point in my life, thank you for always producing such amazing music!
I'm so in love with this i'm crying
Please never stop making music ❤️
I'm almost two months clean, and I don't think I could have done it without this song. literally just my calm-down song at this point
edit: 3 years guys! it gets better!!
Omg same! I'm 2 months and 1 day clean. I wanted to do it again today and I hated myself, but I listen to this on loop whenever I feel rly shitty, and it helps sm
This I so uplifting, it's nice to hear a song about MH I can relate to but have the music lift me up instead 🤗
Thank you so much for this song. I'll never be able to be thankful enough.
God, do I ever wish I had this song when I was all alone in middle school or in my sophomore year dealing with the worst bouts of depression I'd ever had. But, I have it now - and it does wonders for my not-so-rational train of thought I take when things get Bad.
THIS IS SUCH A BOP
A: I agree
B: I love your art and channel. I wish I was a half as good as you.
Great art work pal 😄
@sickickmusic got me here.. Quality tune.
This is the first song that has ever legitimately made me cry. I've been looking for something like this for so long. Thank you so much.
God this is really what I need sometimes, amazing song.
I love every single album by you guys
I just want to thank you all . Your band has helped me through so hard time . Thank you for saving my life. Your music is amazing . I hope you all have a great life
This song is therapy.
Just recently found this song and it has been a tremendous help for the individuals I work with. Thanks!
Ngl the sickick remix introduced this to me and its incredible glad I discovered them :)
This... This has to be my new top 5 favorite mother mother song
I forgot how much I absolutely love this song. Not sure how, but so glad I listened to it again.
I had a really shitty day at work last night, but having this song on repeat in my head helped me forgive myself and feel better
It's magic! I love it!
i love this song my brudda
This song is like a big warm comforting hug for all the thoughts that run inside my brain😁
Thank you for this track !!!!!✨👑✊🏽
How have I never heard this? I’m crying so hard that I can’t stand up.. Snot dripping down my nose writing this.. It’s perfect. 💕💕💕
I don't think Ive ever heard a song that has comforted me as much as this one
this song feels like a hug and nearly had me in fuckin tears a couple times
There's not ONE bad song from this band, I love this so much
still one of their BEST underrated albums
This song forces me to reflect on my toxic 20s and cry.
Thank you. I really mean that
Ok, I did not expect your new album to hit me so deeply in the soul that it moved me to tears, but it has ;w; This song, and "Get Up" are the songs I listen to on repeat when everything that's wrong with me attempts to tell me I'm a monster undeserving of the slightest bit of love. So thank you, because there are more days than not that I keep on needing to hear that
i remember hearing this song on the radio and being shocked. "what! this is actually a well meaning, really nice song!" because all the other songs i had heard were the same repition of "girl baby i love you baby so much baby".
Heck, I can't stop listening to this, fantastic music as always from you guys.
This song is so amazing!!!!!! Can't wait to see you guys live again!
It’s a beautiful
kinda wished this song existed sooner before i got over it
which was like 7 years ago, woulda helped the middle school me
This song literally prevented me from committing the 'cide'. It helped me in ways that other people wouldn't along as other Mother Mother songs. This is my favorite album, like, ever. I always acted strange to people because of my depression combined with my self-deprecation, and hearing the lyrics "You're not a monster, just a human
And you made a few mistakes." Makes me feel something every time. If I could explain my feelings to someone, this would be one of my top songs to show someone my pain.
I will be alright. I will be okay. As long as I think like this, I might become okay one day. I might see a better day. It might become alright soon. I just need to try.
You will be alright. You will be okay. One day, one day very soon if you open up to someone that you trust. You are not a monster, you are a human who made a few mistakes. I know that I did.
Just because you might not love yourself, that doesn't mean that other people don't love you.
I need to take my own advice.
Sickick got me here!💯😍🔥♥️
So the first time i heard this song i was dopesick in my bed coughing up blood jittery and just not having a good time stuck in my bed for a couple days and this song played and i put it on repeat until i got through it so thank you for this song cause its most of the reason i got through it
Man, seeing the comments here i now noticed that i'm Not the only one with deep thoughts
amazing!!!! loving the new album
I feel kind of bad joining ya later than sooner, but I'm glad i found you. You express emotion through music in a way that feels real. I love it, no matter if I'm diving in that hole or climbing out, you make it feel OK, or at least relatable.
I feel like someone give me warm hugs ♡
This is the most calming song for my mental health i have ever heard
The fear of never getting better but pushing anyway. It's alright, it's okay. Keep trying. I love this message so much, it feels so personal to me. I love you, have a nice day everyone ♥️
the album is so fittingly titled
Still, I have never loved this many song by one band alone, and by that i mean all their songs.
This song came on at just the right moment to add to the story I'm reading.
