I Think I’m OKAY (feat. Yungblud & Travis Barker)

Machine Gun Kelly's 'I Think I’m OKAY' featuring Yungblud and Travis Barker is a raw and candid portrayal of inner turmoil and self-destructive behavior. The song delves into themes of self-doubt, substance abuse, and the desire to escape from one's own thoughts and the judgment of others. The lyrics express a sense of being overwhelmed by life's pressures and the coping mechanisms that people often turn to, despite knowing they are harmful.

The opening lines, 'Watch me, take a good thing and fuck it all up in one night,' set the tone for a confessional about ruining positive aspects of life, possibly due to impulsive actions or a self-sabotaging nature. The mention of 'no sleep' and 'wasting time on people I don't like' suggests a cycle of regret and dissatisfaction. The chorus, repeated throughout the song, emphasizes the idea that the artist recognizes something is fundamentally wrong but feels powerless to change it.

Yungblud's verse introduces a metaphor of being rolled up and smoked, which could symbolize a desire to be consumed by something or someone else to escape reality. The references to taking drugs on gravestones imply a flirtation with death or the numbing of pain through substance use. The song's bridge, 'Find me alone at midnight inside my mind, trying to get things right,' highlights the internal struggle and the loneliness that often accompanies it. The repeated 'goodnight' at the end could signify a resignation to these issues or a hope for a new beginning after a period of darkness.
