I'm Glad You're Happy
Urban Echoes: Navigating Heartfelt Disconnect in Early Internet's 'I'm Glad You're Happy'
Lyrics
Stare at screens
Engaging with electronic displays
Fiend for feeds and I scroll
Craving and scrolling through online content feeds
New York City
Reference to New York City
Deals its hand and I fold
Facing challenges, making decisions, and opting to withdraw
It's coming up against me
Facing adversity or challenges
Showing off your heart
Displaying vulnerability or sincerity
Is everything against me?
Feeling like everything is working against the speaker
I don't think you are
Expressing doubt about someone's involvement in the adversity
Here's the truth
Presenting an honest statement or revelation
Four frames in a booth
Describing a confined space with four frames, possibly a booth
Flash your eyes
Rapidly blinking or displaying surprise in one's eyes
And catch me surprised
Being caught off guard by someone's actions
Separate
Emphasizing a sense of separation or distance
You move on, I still wait for what's done
While the other person moves on, the speaker waits for closure or resolution
And all your echoes are gone
Past influences or memories no longer have an impact
It's coming up against me
Reiteration of facing challenges or adversity
Showing off your heart
Repeating the theme of showing vulnerability or sincerity
Is everything against me?
Questioning if everything is working against the speaker
I don't think you are
Expressing doubt about someone's involvement in the challenges
It's coming up against me
Reiteration of facing challenges or adversity
Showing off your heart
Repeating the theme of showing vulnerability or sincerity
Is everything against me?
Questioning if everything is working against the speaker
It's coming up against me
Reiteration of facing challenges or adversity
Showing off your heart
Repeating the theme of showing vulnerability or sincerity
Is everything against me?
Questioning if everything is working against the speaker
