Happy Again
Rediscovering Joy: Healing and Love in Gwen & Tiana's 'Happy Again'
Lyrics
HAPPY AGAIN
Expressing happiness
Happy again
Reiteration of newfound happiness
Didn't know I could ever smile again
Feeling surprised by the ability to smile again after hardship
Laughing again
Experiencing joy and laughter anew
Dark clouds drifting away
Feeling the departure of difficulties or sadness
I am shining again
Regaining a sense of radiance or inner brightness
I cannot say why
Uncertainty about the reason for feeling healed
I don't know how
Unsure about the process of healing
I am healed!
Confirmation of personal healing
Yes I am
Reaffirmation of the healing process
Life is funny, you know
Reflection on the unpredictability of life
Hope and faith one day disappear
Loss of hope and faith at some point
Walking down a tunnel with so much
Metaphorically walking through a difficult period
Night and gloominess at the end
Encountering darkness and despair
If ever there is an end, you know
Contemplation on the possibility of an end to difficulties
You finally come to terms with your fears
Acceptance and resolution of personal fears
And stop expecting to heal
Cease of expecting immediate healing
You don't know that one day you will be
Unawareness of future positive changes
Love is funny, you know
Reflection on the complexity of love
Passion and trust slowly fade away
Gradual loss of passion and trust in love
You kneel down in the rain and soak
Symbolic kneeling in the rain, reminiscing about past memories
Good old memories in your tears
Emotional connection of memories with tears
Siamese hearts split up one day
Depiction of separation of deeply connected individuals
And the bleeding never seemed to cease
Continuing pain from emotional wounds
With scars that won't ever heal
Permanent emotional scars
But here you are loving again
Rediscovering love despite past pain
You know, if someone had told me
Reflecting on disbelief regarding future positive feelings
That someday, I would feel this way again
Surprise at the return of positive emotions
You know, if someone had told me
Emphasizing disbelief regarding positive feelings
I would've never, never believed it
Unwavering disbelief in experiencing positive emotions again
