Happiness
Resilience Echoes: Unraveling the Emotions in Jonathan Davis' 'Happiness'
Lyrics
So you think you can walk away now
Expressing a desire to end a relationship or situation.
Nothing's happening, everything's fine
Denying any issues or problems, portraying a facade of normalcy.
It's the same old situation
Highlighting a repetitive and familiar circumstance.
Each time you get the last word I turn away blind
Indicating a pattern where the speaker turns away when faced with the final statement.
You were never there for me at all
Accusing someone of not being supportive or present.
You always gotta tear me down
Alleging a consistent behavior of criticizing or belittling.
You, you take the best of me
Pointing out that the person addressed extracts the best qualities from the speaker.
It's gone, my happiness is never allowed
Stating that the speaker's happiness is consistently denied or prohibited.
So you really wanna do the shit now
Challenging the other person to confront or address issues.
You wanna take another shot in my pride
Expressing a readiness to defend one's pride against an attack.
One of these days your words will ricochet off me
Suggesting that negative words will eventually have no impact on the speaker.
Tearing off your hide
Imagining a scenario where the speaker retaliates by exposing vulnerabilities.
You were never there for me at all
Reiterating the absence of support or presence from the addressed person.
You always gotta tear me down
Emphasizing a consistent tendency to criticize or undermine.
You, you take the best of me
Repeating that the addressee extracts the best qualities from the speaker.
It's gone, my happiness is never allowed
Restating the persistent denial of the speaker's happiness.
My happiness is never allowed
Affirming the ongoing prohibition of the speaker's happiness.
My happiness is never allowed
Reiterating the statement that happiness is continuously disallowed.
My happiness is never allowed
Emphasizing once again that happiness is never permitted.
(My happiness is never allowed)
Repeating the theme that happiness is never allowed, possibly for added emphasis.
You were never there for me at all
Recalling the lack of support or presence from the person being addressed.
You always gotta tear me down
Reiterating the tendency to be criticized or torn down.
You, you take the best of me
Repeating that the addressed person takes away the best aspects of the speaker.
It's gone, my happiness is never allowed
Restating the continuous denial of the speaker's happiness.
(My happiness is never allowed)
Concluding with a repetition of the theme that happiness is never allowed.
