Interpretation
The lyrics of 'Alright' by
HVME are about a complicated love relationship where the singer doesn't want to fully involve the person they are with. They are on their way, and although they don't want to exclude them completely ('You can't come around, still don′t wanna leave you out'), they ask them not to fight ('Baby, don′t put up a fight'). They assure them that they'll be alright ('I promise you'll be alright'). In further verses, they showcase their luxurious lifestyle ('Let′s take the jet') and the casual, non-committal nature of their relationship. They also seem to express insecurity and mistrust, hoping that the other person isn't showing fake love ('Oh baby, hope you ain′t showing that fake love') and expressing concerns that things have changed since they met ('Swear it's different since we met, it ain′t the same love'). Overall, the song is a narrative about a casual, possibly unhealthy relationship where the singer seems emotionally distant and demands the same from their partner, while assuring that everything will be fine, at least for the night ('Shit, at least for the night').
