Nobody Is Happy All The Time
Embracing Life's Rollercoaster: Nobody Is Happy All The Time by Ellis Mane
Lyrics
Thursday evening, I'm tired and I'm slow
Thursday evening fatigue is setting in, and the speaker feels sluggish.
Somewhere between a sweet dream and a nightmare variety show
The speaker is in a state between a pleasant dream and a distressing nightmare, resembling a chaotic variety show.
It is okay to lose yourself sometimes as long as you keep in mind
Encourages acceptance of losing oneself occasionally as long as self-awareness is retained.
We're doing alright, we're doing alright
Despite challenges, there is a reassurance that things are going well.
Friday morning, I'm tired and confused
Friday morning brings tiredness and confusion to the speaker.
I need to come to terms, speak the words that were left unused
The speaker acknowledges the need to confront unspoken thoughts and feelings.
It is okay to miss the mark sometimes if you don't get behind
Acceptance of occasional failure or missing goals is emphasized, provided one does not give up.
We're doing alright, we're doing alright
Reiteration that, despite challenges, things are generally going well.
Nobody is happy all the time
A universal truth is stated: nobody is happy all the time.
I see the crowd down the alley, they're fleeing for the fire
The speaker observes a crowd rushing away, possibly from danger or chaos.
It is okay to lose yourself sometimes as long as you keep in mind
Reiterates the idea that losing oneself at times is acceptable as long as awareness is maintained.
We're doing alright, we're doing alright
Despite challenges, there is a reassurance that things are going well.
Friday morning, I'm tired but at ease
The speaker is tired but feels a sense of tranquility on Friday morning.
It's time to mellow out, see the forest for the trees
Expresses the need to relax and gain perspective on life's challenges.
There are so many causes for this stubborn mediocrity
Acknowledges the existence of numerous reasons for persistent mediocrity or average outcomes.
That we fight, that we fight
Highlighting the ongoing struggle against mediocrity or challenges.
Nobody is happy all the time
Reiterates the universal truth that nobody is happy all the time.
I see the crowd down the alley, they're fleeing for the fire
The speaker witnesses a crowd moving away, possibly escaping danger or turmoil.
It is okay to lose yourself sometimes as long as you keep in mind
Encourages acceptance of occasional self-loss as long as self-awareness is maintained.
We're doing alright, we're doing alright
Despite challenges, there is a reassurance that things are going well.
We're doing alright, we're doing alright
Repetition for emphasis: things are going well despite challenges.
We're doing alright, we're doing alright
Final reassurance that, overall, things are going well despite life's ups and downs.
