Everything Happens for the Best
Finding Silver Linings: Unveiling the Optimism in 'Everything Happens for the Best'
Lyrics
Always blue all in a mist
Feeling constantly sad and confused
It's plain as can be
Clear and evident
You're so mean to me
Expressing unkindness or cruelty towards the speaker
But everything happens for the best
Optimistically acknowledging that everything happens for a reason
You always play around
Engaging in playful behavior without seriousness
You're running my heart so deep in the ground
Hurting the speaker emotionally deeply
That O.K. everything happens for the best
Accepting the situation, recognizing that it's for the best
I loved you so madly
Expressing intense love towards the person
Knew you would be true
Believing in the person's faithfulness
Now this thing has happened dear
Acknowledging a negative event in the relationship
It's over all over because we're through
Declaring the end of the relationship
So sorry dear it end this way
Expressing regret for the unfortunate ending
Since the world begin
Referring to a long period of time, emphasizing continuity
The old folks say
Quoting traditional wisdom that suggests a positive outlook on events
Everything happens for the best
Reiterating the belief that everything happens for a reason
I loved you so madly
Repeating intense love and trust in the past
Knew you would be true
Reiterating confidence in the person's loyalty
Now this thing has happened dear
Revisiting the negative event and its consequences
It's over all over because we're through
Confirming the finality of the relationship
So sorry dear it end this way
Expressing regret for the unfortunate ending (repeated)
Since the world begin
Referring to the longevity of the world and its wisdom
The old folks say
Quoting traditional wisdom again, emphasizing a positive perspective
Everything happens for the best
Reiterating the belief that everything happens for a reason (repeated)
