The song "We're Alright" by Hawk Nelson captures the feeling of living in the moment and letting go of worries and doubts. The lyrics describe a carefree weekend in Toronto, where the protagonist attends a show with backstage passes. They are filled with excitement, wearing muddy shoes and fresh tattoos. They have a new sense of feeling that everything will be alright if they just let loose and enjoy the night. The chorus asks the listener how it feels to know that they are out of their minds and don't need a reason. It suggests that sometimes, it's liberating to let go of rationality and embrace spontaneity. The song encourages the listener to embrace their own sense of freedom and live life without being confined by societal expectations or limitations. The second verse talks about having dreams and questions that may seem overwhelming, but the protagonist acknowledges that they tend to exaggerate them all. They look at the teens in magazines who seem to have all the answers, but they recognize that even those glamorous individuals are just as flawed and uncertain. They build a metaphorical machine, possibly representing their expectations or ideals, only to watch it crumble. Overall, the song conveys the message that it is alright to not have all the answers and that there is no better reason to live than to embrace the present moment. It encourages listeners to let go of worries, live authentically, and find contentment in the simple fact that they are alive.
