Not Ok

from OK by Nihil Admirari

/

about

The mirror image of its predecessor, this track wells up with emotions some of us cannot keep down after the happening of 2020 and early 2021. In the end, it's Ok to be Not Ok, too.

lyrics

I set my life on all the things that couldn’t be
And it’s breaking me down
I set my mind on the things that I couldn’t see
And there’s a lot of that seeing
I set my life on all the things that are falling apart
And it’s got a hold of me
I set my life
Oh I set my life

I’m not okay
I’m not okay
I’m not okay
And something’s not right here
These days have gone out of sync

I set my life on mistakes that I might have made
And I let it define me
I set my mind on simple understandings of the world
Who’s to blame?
These days have gone so dry
Oh
I set my life
Oh I set my life

I’m not okay
I’m not okay
I’m not okay
And something’s not right here
These days have gone out of sync

Lay it down on me
Fire stone builds my castles
Lay it down on me
Bring war to my walls
Lay it down on me
Flood the goddamned river
Lay it down on me
Lay it down on me

I set my life on people that thought of me
In diminishing description
I set my mind on dreams of grandeur
In a state of shock
These days have gone so dry
But I set my life on anything and everything
That gives me purpose

I’m not okay
I’m not okay
I’m not okay
And something’s not right here
These days have gone out of sync

Rain falls down on my heart

We've been together for 4+ years now, living and working in NYC through school, in the work force, on the grind and through the pandemic. But we're a trio, and we want to be a quartet. Only then will be fully become what this band was meant to be.

We are Nihil Admirari, a Post Punk rock bank with our own rules and our own way of doing things.
