Happiness
Navigating the Shadows of Existence: Blood Orange's Reflection on Life
Lyrics
How will you know when life will choose to fade away?
Reflecting on the uncertainty of when life might come to an end.
How will you know if you've been wrong?
Questioning awareness of personal mistakes or wrong decisions.
Pull it down and show you've taken all that fades
Expressing a desire to reveal and display experiences that have faded away.
Know it'll take too long
Acknowledging the perception that the process of revealing these experiences will be time-consuming.
And it seems like it's unnatural to stay
Suggesting that remaining in a certain situation feels unnatural.
I say I'm holdin' on
Stating a determination to endure and persevere.
Would you notice (would you notice)
Pondering whether someone would notice a significant change or expression.
If I wrote you something?
Raising the possibility of communicating feelings through writing.
Happiness will fade
Declaring that happiness is fleeting or temporary.
Happiness will fade
Reiterating the transient nature of happiness for emphasis.
Happiness will fade
Emphasizing once again that happiness is subject to fading.
Happiness will fade
Repeating the idea that happiness is not a permanent state.
And it seems like it's unnatural to stay
Reiterating the unnatural feeling associated with remaining in a particular situation.
I say I'm holdin' on, uh, uh
Reaffirming the commitment to holding on despite challenges.
Would you notice (would you notice)
Posing the question of whether someone would observe changes or expressions.
If I wrote you something?
Returning to the idea of conveying emotions through written communication.
Happiness will fade
Restating the impermanence of happiness as a thematic element.
Happiness will fade
Repeating the assertion that happiness is prone to fading away.
Happiness will fade
Echoing the notion that happiness is not a permanent or lasting state.
Happiness will fade
Concluding with a final emphasis on the transient nature of happiness.
