Dido – Honestly Ok

  General Comment:The line "I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore" is my favorite. It's really hard to get to that level of loneliness, but I've been there, more than I'd like to admit. This song is hauntingly beautiful and sad. One of my favorites from the album.

  General Comment:this is my alone song and make me feel like im not alone im currently suffereng deporession and on so many diferent tablets and nothings really working its exactle what the song says you just want to lock yourself up on youre own nothing and noone can help you each day differs SAVE IN MY OWN SKIN wondering if you can trust yourself to not give up and most days you sit and remember how you once were and happy you were and how you wish you were that person again but you feel so far away from that place

    This song obviously symbolizes loneliness. And when asked "how are you?", it's so easy to say, "i'm ok", instead of going into details. Then the person says, "are you sure?..you don't look too happy"....Then you respond, "No really, I'm ok....honestly, ok."
    
    Sounds like she's wilfully, but regretfully isolating herself.

  General Comment:Her songs have excellent synth pieces, this song's intro is one of the best.

  General Comment:I love this song. This one of the few songs my mom and I both enjoy. I'm not sure if she knows it though.

  General Comment:I love this song, it helps when I'm feeling like this because I know that someone else is feeling it or has felt it as well.
  
  When you just want everything to go away and there's so much pain and lonliness inside you can't describe it. Everyone else sees you and can't really tell what's wrong and you just blow them off - honestly ok - but inside you feel like a rug has been yanked from under your feet.

  General Comment:This is Dido's attempt at being emo. Sadly, it's not cliché like it should be. It's actually...good.

  General Comment:there's a correction "I'm so lonely I don't even want to be WITH myself any more"
  
  Eurgh, I hated feeling like that. Actually I feel a bit like it now but it's not half as bad as it was when I was at school, I hated myself so much in school and wished constantly that I could be someone else.
