Embracing Change: Lyn Lapid's 'ok with it'
Lyn Lapid's song 'ok with it' delves into the emotional complexities of a relationship nearing its end. The lyrics paint a picture of two people who have grown apart, acknowledging the inevitable conclusion of their time together. The opening lines, 'We live in other dimensions / We both saw it coming,' suggest a sense of detachment and foresight, indicating that both parties were aware of the growing distance between them. The mention of 'sleeping by our mobiles' and now 'barely calling' highlights the decline in communication, a common sign of a relationship's deterioration.
The chorus, 'It's the end, and I'm okay with it / Seasons shift, they're always changing,' reflects a mature acceptance of the situation. Lapid uses the metaphor of changing seasons to illustrate the natural progression of life and relationships. The acknowledgment that 'we'll be sad through the summer / Start again with different lovers' speaks to the bittersweet reality of moving on. The line 'Know the thought can be menacing / Waking up when you're not next to me' captures the fear and discomfort of change, yet the repeated affirmation 'I'm okay with it' underscores a sense of resilience and acceptance.
In the second verse, Lapid addresses the futility of clinging to false hopes, 'We could be living like one day / We'll be reunited,' but admits that such promises would be lies. The rhetorical question, 'Why be at odds with our sanity? / By arguing with reality,' suggests that accepting the end is healthier than living in denial. The song's repetitive and soothing melody, combined with its introspective lyrics, creates a comforting atmosphere, encouraging listeners to embrace change and find peace in the natural ebb and flow of relationships.
