Song meaning of I Am Not OK by Jelly Roll

Hey y'all, today I wanna chat about a song that really hit me in the feels - "I Am Not OK" by Jelly Roll. This song, man, it's like a punch in the gut but also a warm hug at the same time, you know what I mean?

When Jelly Roll sings, "I am not OK, I'm barely getting by," I felt that deep in my soul. It's like he's putting into words what so many of us feel but maybe can't express. Life can be tough, and sometimes we just gotta put on a brave face and keep on going, even when we're falling apart inside.

And then there's that part where he talks about waking up with the Devil on his back and the voices in his head. Whew, that's some heavy stuff. It's like he's shining a light on those dark thoughts and struggles that we all have but might be too scared to talk about.

But you know what? Despite all the pain and the darkness, Jelly Roll reminds us that it's gonna be alright. He sings, "I know one day, we'll see the other side, the pain will wash away in a holy water tide." It's like he's saying, hey, we're all in this together, and we're gonna make it through, no matter how tough things get.

So, next time you're feeling down or like you're not OK, just remember Jelly Roll's words: "I'm not OK, but it's all gonna be alright." Because sometimes, just knowing that you're not alone in your struggles can make all the difference.

Keep on keeping on, y'all. We're gonna be alright.
