about

This is a song about the relationship between mental isolation and physical proximity. Using the dichotomy of Roosevelt Island and Manhattan as an analogy, this song is about how you internalize pain. Sometimes it is difficult seeing others live lavishly while you feel stuck in your own head. But the subtle shift of perspective, being content with seeing others thrive can fill you with positivity. The life and purity you get from this shift in outlook is enough to be "all right"

lyrics

Fahim:
As-salamu alaykum
So it goes

Castle in the sky
Found a puddle looked it in the eyes
Couple close calls but that's all right
Couple closed doors hope they're all right
On the other side, the other side, the other side
Roosevelt Island, the city never sleeps
But I'll stay quiet, the way you looked at me
Is enough to be, it's enough to be
All right

We'll be all right, we will be

Emmett:
Fuck it
Usually I take the loss and stay in my pain bruh
I ain't paid to run
I follow up
Took a train to know me
But I remain along the east coast
I'll run it back just to not be alone
Piece the world that made me
Glad I love my baby
Have you involved I know
Having you left to lose
I'm on this independent pain
I'm going to smoke that pack
I've been sad

Watch me ride through the flood
I'm gonna hold up two deuces yeah for my number 1
Sola
