Miguel's Happy Dance
Dance Through Adversity: Thundercat's Message of Resilience
Lyrics
Do the fuckin' happy dance
Encouragement to engage in a celebratory dance
When you, when you really fuckin' lit
When feeling extremely good or euphoric
I guess that it's supposed to subside
Implying that intense feelings eventually diminish
Even though you're probably really lit
Even while feeling highly intoxicated
Even if you're really, really sad
Despite being very sad
You could probably be worse
There's a possibility of being in a worse situation
Just let that sink in for a while
Suggesting to contemplate this idea for some time
It's okay
It's fine, acceptable
If it's not going your away
If things aren’t going as planned
It never was
Implying that the situation was never ideal
Don't believe the hype
Don't trust exaggerated claims or excitement
It's probably all covered in lies
Assuming that most things are distorted by untruths
I should take my own advice
Recognizing the need to heed one's own advice
Even if it hurts
Even if it causes pain
It's always gonna hurt the same
Pain remains consistent
Hurt the same
The pain feels the same each time
Dance away the pain
To alleviate pain through dancing
It's gonna be alright
Reassurance that things will improve
Just do the fuckin' dance
To perform the celebratory dance regardless of tears
Even if you start to cry
Acceptance of emotional distress
It's okay
Reassurance that everything will eventually be fine
Everything will be alright
Advising patience as good things take time
Take your time
Comparing the building of success to Rome's duration
Rome wasn't built in a day
It's okay
Reiterating that it's acceptable
It's time to dance away the pain
To use dancing as a means to alleviate pain
It's alright
Reinforcement that things will be fine
Just do the happy dance
To engage in the joyful dance
Even if you're not alright
Even when not feeling good
It's okay
Reassurance that it's okay despite internal struggles
Joy inside your pain
Finding joy amidst pain and suffering
That's alright
Acceptance of the coexistence of happiness and pain
Sometimes we're just things
Humans are transient, temporary beings
And then you're gone
Transitioning from existence to non-existence
Just dance
To partake in the act of dancing
You will be okay
Assurance of eventual recovery
Keep dancin'
To continue dancing
Even though you're running around again
Despite being constantly occupied or busy
It's alright
Reiteration that everything will be fine
Dance
To dance despite hardships
The sun will eventually shine
Belief in the eventual return of happiness
