Can't Buy Happiness
Chasing Freedom: Tash Sultana's Anthem to Life Beyond Wealth
Lyrics
I crouch in the snow
I am in a humble position in the snow
Don't want to let the moment go
I'm reluctant to let go of the present moment
Kiss me on the tip of my nose
Expressing affection, a tender kiss on the tip of the nose
Come home to my freshly folded up clothes
Returning home to find my clothes neatly folded
I'll take the time that I'm given
Valuing and making the most of the time I have
Blame it on myself
Taking responsibility, attributing things to oneself
Sitting here, reminiscing
Reflecting on the past, recalling memories
About the times that we had
Nostalgic thoughts about past experiences
The times that were lost
Reflecting on both positive and lost times
And I guess I'm holding on
Holding on to memories, possibly struggling to move on
'Cause I only ever wanted to feel free
Expressing a desire for freedom
'Cause money can't buy, buy my happiness
Stating that happiness cannot be bought with money
And don't you know I've tried
Acknowledging attempts to find happiness through wealth
And I've tried all of this
Having tried various things to attain happiness
And it don't mean a thing
Emphasizing that those attempts don't hold significance
And no, it don't mean, no, it don't mean
Reiterating the lack of meaning in material pursuits
And no, it don't mean, no
Continuing to emphasize the emptiness of such pursuits
You can't buy my happiness
Asserting that happiness is not available for purchase
You can't buy my happiness
Repeating the statement that happiness cannot be bought
No, no, no
Emphatically stating that it's not possible to buy happiness
You can't buy my happiness
Reiterating the idea that happiness is not for sale
You can't buy my happiness
Repeating the assertion that happiness cannot be bought
No, no, no
Emphatically stating again that happiness is not purchasable
