Lyrics
Smile so they know you're feeling something..

Cuz pleasing strangers feels better than nothing..
Highlighting the preference for gaining approval from strangers over feeling nothing.
I drink misery like a glass of cheap champagne..
Metaphorically drinking in and accepting misery, likened to consuming a glass of cheap champagne.
But beggars can't be choosers so they say...
Acknowledging limited choices in difficult situations with the phrase "beggars can't be choosers."
I'm getting high once again..
Indicating a repetitive pattern of getting high, possibly as a coping mechanism.
Blowing away..
Suggesting a detachment or escape, possibly from reality, using the imagery of blowing away.
Gone with the wind..
Emphasizing the idea of disappearing or being carried away like the wind.
It's a strange thing when you wanna die but .. all you know how to do is fight..
Expressing a contradiction between the desire to die and the instinct to fight against it.
It's a great day to be alive.. at least that's what they tell me..
Questioning the positivity of being alive despite internal struggles and challenges.
I might fall asleep in a rocking chair.. if that's where they set me..
Imagining a scenario of falling asleep in a rocking chair, suggesting a passive acceptance of fate.
I just hope that I can leave this earth in peace..
Expressing a hope to leave this world peacefully, possibly indicating a desire for a serene departure.
Laugh a little so they think you're happy..

Cuz you don't want them to know what's really happening..

Feels like misery's made its way home up in your brain..

But it's all temporary so they say..

You're getting high once again..
