Glad to Be Unhappy
Embracing Unrequited Love: The Bittersweet Joy of Longing
Lyrics
Look at yourself
Self-reflection, advising to introspect
If you had the sense of humor
Suggesting a lack of humor or resilience
You would laugh to beat the band
Highlighting the potential for laughter despite difficulties
Look at yourself
Reiteration of self-examination
Do you still believe the rumor
Questioning belief in romantic ideals
That romance is simply grand
Challenging the notion that romance is flawless
Since you took it on the chin
Referring to facing a challenge or setback
You have lost that toothpaste grin
Loss of a carefree attitude, symbolized by a toothpaste grin
My mental state is all a jumble
Expressing emotional confusion
I sit around and sadly mumble
Describing a state of discontent and mumbling
Fools rush in, so here I am
Acknowledging impulsiveness
Very glad to be unhappy
Finding contentment in being unhappy
I can't win
Acknowledging the difficulty of winning in love
But here am I
Despite challenges, being more than glad to be unhappy
More than glad to be unhappy
Reiterating the acceptance of unhappiness
Unrequited love's a bore
Characterizing unrequited love as tedious
And I've got it pretty bad
Admitting a significant level of suffering
But for someone you adore
Enjoying the pain for someone deeply cherished
It's a pleasure to be sad
Finding pleasure in sadness for the sake of love
Like a straying baby lamb
Metaphorically likening oneself to a lost baby lamb
With no mammy and no pappy
Highlighting a sense of abandonment
I'm so unhappy
Expressing deep unhappiness
But oh, so glad
Contrasting unhappiness with a strange sense of gladness
Unrequited love's a bore
Reiteration of unrequited love's tedious nature
And I've got it pretty bad
Acknowledging a significant degree of suffering
But for someone you adore
Finding joy in sadness for someone deeply cherished
It's a pleasure to be sad
Embracing the pleasure of being sad for love
Like a straying baby lamb
Metaphorically describing oneself as a stray baby lamb
With no mammy and no pappy
Emphasizing a sense of abandonment and lack of support
I'm so unhappy
Reiterating profound unhappiness
But oh, so glad
Contrasting unhappiness with a peculiar sense of gladness
