Tracy Chapman - Its OK

It's OK
Love is only meant for some
I'm the rock
The shoulder you can cry on
I keep the walls from falling down
I keep the walls from falling down
I keep the walls from falling down

I'll play it straight
While you laugh and drink and party all night long
I'll designate myself
To be the driver who takes you home
I keep the walls from falling down
I keep the walls from falling down

You can be pretty and tragic
I'll try to keep the walls from falling down
You can be beautiful and fabulous
I'll try to keep the walls from falling down
I can't reach the pain you feel
But I'll try to keep the walls from falling down
If you can hold on
Lose your fear
I'll try to keep the walls from falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Where is your saint?
To let you know you're not alone
To bring you peace
Help me be your friend your confidante
And keep the walls from falling down
Keep the walls from falling down
Keep the walls from falling down

The song brought about - in my mind - the difference between (i) someone who has educated herself with skills aimed at leading a successful life as defined/ approved by the society she lives in and (ii) someone who seeks to live a successful Life as she herself understands and defines it, by delving within herself to better understand her unique desires and taking steps to action (and, where possible, excel in) such individual desires, without necessarily caving in to society's definition of success or approval. And the lyrics bring out the POV of the former in the course of her 'meaningful' relationships with people in the latter category.

P.S. - And I'm not focused on exploring the polar opposites between narcissism and hedonism.
