Happy
Chasing Happiness in the Shadows: Mother Mother's Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
Ask me if I'm happy
Expression of uncertainty about personal happiness
I don't know
Admits lack of knowledge about own happiness
If it is a place we need to go
Suggests uncertainty about the destination of happiness
Ask me if I'm happy
Reiteration of uncertainty about personal happiness
I don't care
Indifference towards the inquiry about happiness
Maybe I'd be happy if you disappeared
Expression of potential happiness if someone disappears
Maybe I'd be happy if you give me drugs
Suggests a possible source of happiness through drugs
Drugs can make a fuck last all night long
Associates drugs with prolonged sexual activity
'Cause nothing makes me happy about getting off
Expresses dissatisfaction with the conventional concept of happiness
Reaching for the saddest little cloth
Describes reaching for something sad or unfulfilling
Reaching for the water on the sill
Depicts reaching for water with a melancholic image
Water with the saddest little film
Refers to water with a sad film, potentially symbolizing tears
Ask me if I'm happy
Repetition of the inquiry about happiness
What does it mean?
Raises a question about the meaning of happiness
I'll tell you that I am, if you tell me I'm dreaming
Suggests a willingness to claim happiness if it means escaping reality
To wake up in a place I've never been
Expresses a desire to wake up in an unfamiliar place
Wake up with a face I've never seen
Desires waking up with a face never seen before
Wake up with the purest sense of being
Expresses a longing for a pure and unfamiliar sense of existence
Yeah, to wake up to a woman that isn't screaming
Describes a desire to wake up to a peaceful relationship
Ask me if I'm happy
Repeats the inquiry about happiness
La-la-la
Uses a nonspecific phrase (la-la-la) to evade a direct answer
Happy is a pill for the faint of hearts
Defines "happy" as a remedy for the faint-hearted
Happy is a place in the dark
Associates "happy" with a place in the dark, possibly metaphorical
In the dark
Repeats the idea of happiness being in the dark
In the dark
-Yeah, you know it is
Emphasizes the certainty of happiness existing in the dark
Yeah
-Yeah
-Ask me if I'm happy one more time
Reiterates the inquiry about happiness
I'll give you a reply if you give me your eye
Proposes a conditional response, suggesting a desire for reciprocity
I'll leave you with an itty-bitty hole
Implies harm or damage in exchange for the inquiry
Well, it's nothing like the one inside my soul
Compares a physical hole to an emotional void
It's nothing like the canyon of my heart
Describes a deep emotional canyon within
Well, at least I got some room to fall apart
Finds solace in having space to fall apart
Yeah, ask me if I'm happy, I'll tell you what
Agrees to answer the question about happiness
Happy is a diamond in the rough
Defines "happy" as a rare and valuable discovery
Happy it ain't enough
States that mere happiness is insufficient
Ain't enough
Reiterates the inadequacy of happiness
Ain't enough
-Yeah, you know it ain't
Affirms the insufficiency of happiness
