this is a song about being bored and anxious and trying to keep occupied in lockdown, and also feeling guilty for being so self-obsessed in a global pandemic, sipping coffee and ignoring the outside world like the meme dog.

The Lowest Bitter - This Is Fine

oh I'm okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
no I'm okay

the meme is tired, and so am I
"I'm okay with the events that are unfolding currently"
this is fucking horrible, no "this is fine"

scroll through twitter, join the latest
outrage-ratio'd quote tweets
(this is how we spend our time)
do the music quiz on Zoom,
every Thursday, every week
(Adam, tell me this'll be fine)
a book of fiendishly hard sudoku
I start but can't complete
(this is how we spend our time)
and I'm just feeling like that dog,
trapped inside some tired meme,
just repeating this is fine this is fine this is fine this is fine this is fine
(this'll be fine)

oh I'm okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
no I'm okay
(this'll be fine)

killing beasts in Witcher 3
and feeling like I wanna scream
(this is how we spend our time)
doing 30 days of yoga
I'm on day, um... 43
(Adriene, tell me this'll be fine)
yeah I'm here on AO3
reading PWP
(this is how we spend our time)
and I'm just feeling like that dog,
trapped inside some tired meme,
just repeating this is fine this is fine this is fine this is fine this is fine
(this'll be fine)

oh I'm okay
I'm not okay
I'm not okay
no I'm okay
