In the song "Everything Will Be OK" by G-Eazy on the album "When It's Dark Out", the artist reveals himself and shows the deepest and darkest parts of his life. He used many visual lines to show his audience the pain he has felt in many instances of his life. The song is filled with his views of how he gain some and lost more on his journey through life and also fame.
The first verse of the song explains how he lost so many friends, including the girl he fell in love with, when he chased fame using his musical talent. He explains how he regrets leaving them behind, especially with the line "They say, 'You know if you loved her well then you would have stayed, you would have made a perfect pair that people would trade.'" This shows how people in his life judge him for leaving.
In the second verse, he explains how he left his brother to take care of their mother when he chased fame. Even after all of their struggles together, he felt bad for leaving his brother alone with their mom who was sick and out of a job. This is explained in the line "Like, 'You don't even come home enough. Where were you when she was in the hospital, huh? It was only us.'" This shows how his brother questions his fame and if it was worth him being left alone with a sick and poor mother. He regrets leaving his family behind even to chase his dream.
In the last and most emotional verse of the song, he explains his young life from leaving his father behind with his mother and brother, his mother finding a new love with a woman and his struggle with trying to understand it, and the death of his mothers new partner from depression. In the line "In that first class they came and got me, 'Your mom's outside, say goodbye now to everybody.' U-Haul waiting with all of her things at least what she could pack, in the time my dad's at work and before he gets back." This shows how he was forced by his mother to leave his father and live a new life with his mother and brother. This verse contains a very emotional trip for listeners that gives a big view of the artists open wounds from his struggles in life.
Overall, the song shows G-Eazy's deepest regrets and pains in his life that have come from not only his fame but his own ignorance from trying to chase a dream. Although he has succeeded in his dream, he still has so much he feels he has failed to do for his family. This song is one of his most emotional songs and leaves him open for the audience to see.
