A-OK (Demo) Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus]
The singer is saying they’ve been staying up late, having fun, and surrounding themselves with great friends. They feel like they’re truly enjoying life without worrying about what others think. No matter what happens, they wake up feeling good and ready to take on the day. The message is all about embracing happiness, living in the moment, and not letting negativity bring them down.

[Verse]
The singer looks back on their younger days when life felt simple, love was exciting, and everything was fun. But as they grew older, responsibilities started piling up. Friends drifted apart, and some even turned into enemies. They recall playing childhood games, being innocent and carefree, but now they’ve toughened up because life has thrown challenges their way. The mention of bills piling up shows how adulthood has brought real-world struggles.

[Chorus]
Again, the singer repeats their message of living their best life despite hardships. Even if they’re burning the candle at both ends—staying busy and pushing themselves—they’re still making great memories with good friends. They refuse to let negativity affect them, waking up every day feeling okay and choosing happiness over stress. The chorus reinforces the theme of staying positive no matter what life throws at them.

[Bridge]
For a brief moment, the singer wonders if they should start taking life more seriously. Maybe all the fun and carefree attitude won’t last forever. But then they quickly shake off that thought, deciding that they’d rather enjoy life as it is instead of worrying too much about the future.

[Chorus]
Once again, the chorus emphasizes the idea of living freely, having fun, and staying positive. The repetition drives home the message that no matter what happens, they are choosing to enjoy life, be with good friends, and not let outside opinions or stress change their mindset.
