Lyrics

People should smile more

Expressing the belief that people should exhibit more happiness.

I'm not saying there's nothing to cry for

Acknowledging that there are valid reasons for sorrow or distress.

But you've got everything laid out for you

Noting that individuals often have their lives well-arranged or planned.

Just close your eyes, take a deep breath and start another war

Suggesting a coping mechanism of closing one's eyes, taking a deep breath, and confronting challenges head-on.


Keep buying, keep moving, this city is sitting

Commenting on the constant hustle and activity of urban life.

Next to me, we're laid out, it's gonna come

Describing a shared experience of being in a state of repose or relaxation.

One thing is certain

Highlighting an inevitable aspect or outcome.


I can't change the world

Expressing a limitation in the ability to change the entire world.

'Cause tryin' to make a difference makes it worse

Asserting that efforts to bring about positive change may sometimes have adverse effects.

It's just an observation I can't ignore

Stating an observation that cannot be disregarded.

That people should smile more

Reiterating the belief that people should display more joy.


And people should smile more

Repeating the idea that increased happiness is desirable.

But the lights are so bright that they blind you

Noting the overwhelming intensity of external influences like bright lights.

Just one more meaningless scientific breakthrough

Mentioning a scientific breakthrough with potentially little significance.

The more we know, the less we care whilst damaged on the way

Reflecting on a paradox where knowledge may decrease empathy on the journey of life.


Keep moving, keep buying, this city is sitting

Reiterating the busyness and consumerism of urban life.

Next to me, well laid out, it's gonna come

Repeating the scenario of being laid out or relaxed.

One thing is certain

Reiterating the certainty of a particular outcome or situation.


I can't change the world

Reiterating the inability to single-handedly change the world.

'Cause tryin' to make a difference makes it worse

Repeating the idea that attempting to make a difference can have negative consequences.

It's just an observation I can't ignore

Reiterating the recognition of an observation that cannot be ignored.

That people could smile more, people should smile more

Emphasizing the idea that individuals could and should display more happiness.


I can't change the world

Reiterating the acknowledgment of personal limitations in changing the world.

'Cause tryin' to make a difference makes it worse

Repeating the notion that efforts to make a difference may have unintended consequences.

It's just an observation I can't ignore

Reiterating the recognition of an observation that cannot be ignored.

That people could smile more, people should smile more

Emphasizing the idea that individuals could and should display more happiness.


I can't change the world

Reiterating the acknowledgment of personal limitations in changing the world.

'Cause tryin' to make a difference makes it worse

Repeating the notion that efforts to make a difference may have unintended consequences.

It's just an observation I can't ignore

Reiterating the recognition of an observation that cannot be ignored.

That people could smile more, people should smile more

Emphasizing the idea that individuals could and should display more happiness.
