Please Be Happy
Rising Above Melancholy: Embracing Hope Amidst Waves
Lyrics
Please be happy
Encouragement for happiness
'Cause you know I cannot bear to see you
Expressing difficulty witnessing sadness
In this state of melancholy
Noting the current state of deep sadness
Curled up in your chair
Describing the physical posture of distress
Please don't worry
Requesting not to be anxious
'Cause the world won't break apart as easy
Assuring that the world won't easily fall apart
As the glass
Comparing the resilience to breaking glass
You dropped and smashed
Recalling an incident of shattered glass
When you tried to climb the stairs
Referencing a failed attempt to ascend
There was a time
Pointing to a past period
Not long ago
Indicating recent proximity to the present
You stood right by your window
Depicting a specific location by a window
And your arms were painted feather like
Describing arms with feather-like imagery
So sure that you could fly
Recalling a time of confidence in flying
But these days, it's like a wave is breaking over you
Metaphorically describing challenges overwhelming
Dragging you in with the undertow
Portraying a force pulling someone down
If you lay among the graves, you will see other ghosts
Imagining being amidst challenges and others in distress
I still believe this love can grow
Expressing belief in the potential growth of love
But these days, it's like a wave is breaking over you
Reiteration of overwhelming challenges
Dragging you in with the undertow
Emphasizing a force pulling someone down
If you lay among the graves, you will see other ghosts
Revisiting imagery of challenges and others in distress
Please be happy
Repeating the plea for happiness
'Cause you know I cannot bear to see you
Reiterating difficulty witnessing deep sadness
In this state of melancholy
Re-emphasizing the current state of melancholy
Curled up in your chair
Reiterating the image of being curled up in distress
