Chasing Joy: Decoding Life's Silly Hats and High Heels
Lyrics
I've found so many people like to smile a lot
Observation that many people tend to smile often.
Smile a lot 'cause they're having so much fun
People smile because they are enjoying themselves.
Even when they know they're not
Even when aware of their unhappiness, people still smile.
They'll wear some tiny little hat and they'll feel good
Wearing a silly hat brings a sense of happiness.
They'll feel good 'cause their hat is silly
The silliness of the hat contributes to their good mood.
And silly means that their time is good
Silliness signifies a positive time for them.
I've learnt that indecision only brings no joy,
Indecision leads to a lack of joy in life.
So much joy to a fickle little world
Emphasizing joy in a capricious world.
That every night i do TV, film myself CCTV
Engaging in self-filming and surveillance every night.
And there's panic on the street when it's not around
Panic ensues when the self-surveillance is absent.
So we go to
Transition to a different scene or perspective.
All the traffic and children
Reference to both traffic and children.
Live far away
Living distantly, possibly in a metaphorical sense.
On the back of a big bus all the way to Bombay
Traveling on a bus journey to Bombay.
When they go I am with them
The narrator accompanies them on their journey.
But it won't be long
Anticipating a short duration of togetherness.
Godhopping for good times
Engaging in "Godhopping" for positive experiences.
When everything starts to go wrong
Seeking good times when everything goes wrong.
Powder cake they wear their makeup veils
Describing individuals wearing makeup veils.
Veils that hide them underneath such sweaty perfume smells
Veils hide them beneath perfume smells and sweat.
High-healed they are always looking down
People with high heels, often looking down.
Down their confidence is struggling hard to get around
Their confidence struggles to overcome challenges.
I've learnt that indecision only brings no joy,
Reiteration that indecision brings no joy.
So much joy to a fickle little world
Highlighting joy in an unpredictable world.
That every night i do TV, film myself CCTV
Continued nightly self-filming and surveillance.
And there's panic on the street when it's not around
Panic ensues when the surveillance is absent.
So we go to
Returning to a different scene or perspective.
All the traffic and children
Reference to traffic and distant children again.
Live far away
Living far away, possibly symbolically.
On the back of a big bus all the way to Bombay
On a bus journey to Bombay, repeating the theme.
When they go I am with them
The narrator accompanies them on the journey.
But it won't be long
Anticipating a brief duration of togetherness.
Godhopping for good times
Engaging in "Godhopping" for positive experiences.
When everything starts to go wrong
Seeking good times when faced with adversity.
