First 30 seconds analyised;
The first couple seconds of the video consist of a slow pan of a doctors waiting room, init are the usual sterotypes such as a child, a middleaged man, a concered mother, a caring nurse and the lead singer. As the song is being sung it pans other the various people in the waiting room miming the words until it gets to the lead singer of the band. A few fast cuts showing the actual band playing the aggresive music in a small confinded space are added in to mix up the tone of the video.
The lyrics are;
Tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.
Oh please tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.
Give me a reason to end this discussion,
To break with tradition.
To fold and divide.
Cause I hate the ocean, theme parks and airplanes,
Talking with strangers, waiting in line..
I'm through with these pills that make me sit still.
"Are you feeling fine?"
Yes, I feel just fine.
Tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.
Oh please tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.
I'm sick of the things I do when I'm nervous
Like cleaning the oven or checking my tires
Or counting the number of tiles in the ceiling..
Head for the hills, the kitchen's on fire!
I used to rely on self-medication,
I guess I still do that from time to time.
But I'm getting better at fighting the future,
"Someday you'll be fine.."
Yes, I'll be just fine.
Tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.
Oh please tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.
Give me a reason (I don't believe a word)
To end this discussion (of anything I've heard)
To break with tradition (they tell me that it's not so hard)
To fold and divide (it's not so hard)
So let's not get carried (away with everything)
Away with the process (from here to in-between)
of elimination (the long goodbye)
I don't want to waste your time.
Tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.
Oh please tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.
(Alright)
Tell me that you're alright, (Hi, everything's great)
Yeah everything is alright. (Everything's fine)
Oh please tell me that you're alright, (Hi, everything's great)
Yeah everything is alright.
(Everything's fine) [x4]
The songs is that of a bloke who is having a metal breakdown constantly asked if he is feeling fine. The lyrics in the chorus suggest that he is infact not suffering any physiological problems he just dislikes a lot of things.
Album Poster;
There was no poster for this album because of its limited release.
Album cover;
This album cover is unique it its pictures and colour scheme, The colour scheme that is dominate in the album cover is a blue/pink mix. It features a stark white text colour contrast agianst the background theme which emphises the bands name. It also features a man wispering into the womans ear, the woman is blended into the background colour theme expect for her face and the black is wearing a black contrast making him stand out. Perhaps stating that this music will try to stop you being such a conformist.
