Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “OK” by Riverside
This song by Riverside is a reflective rumination on a situation in which two people are struggling in a strained relationship. The narrator speaks to the other person, expressing the difficulties they have faced and hinting that they should move on and accept that they cannot make the relationship work. They use the term “OK” as a final way of suggesting that they part ways- even if it may not be a happy conclusion or what they would have wanted. The narrator emphasizes the necessity of letting go when they say, “It’s time to let go, it’s time to say OK.” As they accept the end of the relationship, the song ends on a somber but hopeful note, with the narrator realizing that this may be the only way forward for both of them.
