“I’m Not Alright” is the sixth track on Shinedown’s fourth studio album. Amaryllis. It also appears on 2013’s The Studio Album Collection.
The song is about a crazy person accepting and embracing their insanity, even going so far as to say they “like” being crazy.
[Verse 1]
All dressed up
In a white straitjacket
Shut your mouth
No, you can't have it
[Pre-Chorus]
Paper airplanes
Open window
Here today
And gone tomorrow
[Chorus]
I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape
I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mind
Are you okay
'Cause I feel fine
Maybe it's me
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
[Verse 2]
All messed up
And slightly twisted
Am I sick
Or am I gifted
[Pre-Chorus]
Paper airplanes
Open window
Here today
And gone tomorrow
[Chorus]
I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape
I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mind
Are you okay
'Cause I feel fine
Maybe it's me
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
[Bridge]
Whoa, I don't care if you apologize
I can't lie
Whoa, I can't lie
[Chorus]
I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape
I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mind
Are you okay
'Cause I feel fine
Maybe it's me
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
[Outro]
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
