It's Ok To Be Human

Foster The People's song 'It's Ok To Be Human' is a heartfelt anthem that emphasizes the importance of embracing our humanity, vulnerability, and the connections we share with others. The lyrics convey a message of solidarity and reassurance, reminding us that even when we are physically apart, we are united by our shared experiences and emotions. The opening lines, 'When you’re all alone and you’re thinking about everything / Know that wherever I am, that I'm doing the same,' highlight the universal nature of introspection and the comfort that comes from knowing others are experiencing similar feelings.

The song also touches on the theme of perseverance and the beauty of the human spirit. Lines like 'We’re stronger when we say we don’t know the way / The courage that it takes to keep on searching is a beautiful thing' celebrate the strength found in admitting uncertainty and continuing to seek answers. This acknowledgment of our imperfections and the collective journey we are on reinforces the idea that it is okay to be human, with all the struggles and triumphs that come with it.

Furthermore, the repeated refrain 'Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, my love / Won't give up, won't give up, won't give up, won't give up on you' serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of support and perseverance in relationships. The song's message is clear: we are not alone in our struggles, and by standing together, we can overcome any obstacles. The closing line, 'At least we're together,' encapsulates the essence of the song, emphasizing the strength and comfort that comes from human connection and solidarity.
