The song "Honestly" by Hippo Campus is about feeling lost and indecisive in life. The lyrics speak of a blueish tinted, faded vision and aimless eyes searching for something better. The protagonist feels like their actions are pointless, yet they continue on in a state of indecision. The chorus repeats the phrase "Honestly it's hard to know what you're thinking," suggesting communication breakdown with someone they care about. The protagonist begs the person not to give up and leave, because it's not fun to be alone. The second verse continues the theme of repetition and uncertainty. The protagonist mentions chasing girls, but it seems like a hollow pursuit. The song ends with the repeated refrain of "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay," perhaps as a mantra to convince oneself that everything will work out in the end, even though they may not understand their own thoughts and feelings. Overall, "Honestly" captures the feeling of being lost and unsure in life, and the struggle to find direction and purpose.
