Sad Song
Embracing the Beauty of Sadness
Lyrics
You may think I look sad
Expressing the perception of sadness in appearance.
But I am just sleeping
Contradicting the appearance, clarifying that the subject is actually sleeping.
It's my facial expression
Attributing the perceived sadness to facial expression.
I'm probably dreaming
Suggesting that the facial expression is linked to dreaming during sleep.
Would you like to be sad?
Posing a question about the desire to experience sadness.
Would you like me to teach you?
Offering to teach the process of becoming sad.
Well, you can learn to be sad
Indicating that sadness is learnable through practice.
But you must practice like I do
Emphasizing the importance of consistent practice for acquiring sadness.
You must follow directions
Highlighting the need to follow specific instructions for learning sadness.
And learn it right from the start
Emphasizing the importance of learning the skill correctly from the beginning.
There isn't a short cut
Rejecting the existence of shortcuts in acquiring sadness.
It must come from your heart
Stating that genuine sadness must emanate from the heart.
There are those who are happy
Observing the coexistence of happy and wise individuals.
There are those who are wise
Highlighting the distinction between happiness and wisdom.
But it's the truly sad people
Claiming that truly sad people extract the most from life.
Who get the most out of life
Asserting the benefits derived from embracing sadness.
You may think I look sad
Repeating the initial idea of appearing sad while sleeping.
But I am just sleeping
Reiterating the contradiction between appearance and reality during sleep.
It's my facial expression
Re-emphasizing the role of facial expression in the perceived sadness.
I'm probably dreaming
Suggesting a connection between the facial expression and dreams during sleep.
