Happy Song
♪ Bring Me The Horizon Lyrics

S.P.I.R.I.T.
The word "spirit" pronounced letter by letter as a way to cheer up

Spirit, let's hear it
Encouragement for the spirit to be vocal and active

Let's go!
Invitation for action and energy

I've had enough
Exhaustion and frustration

There's a voice in my head
Inner turmoil and negative self-talk

Says I'm better off dead
Thoughts of suicide and worthlessness

But if I sing along
Coping mechanism of using music as a distraction

A little fucking louder to a happy song
Turning up the volume and choosing a positive song to listen to

I'll be alright
Hopefulness and belief that things will improve

You want to give up
Feeling of defeat and wanting to quit

Gave it all that you've got and it still doesn't cut
Frustration that despite one's efforts, success has not been achieved

You'll be just fine 'cause
Giving reassurance that things will work out

Every now and again we get that feeling
Acknowledgment of shared emotions and struggles

And the great big void inside us opens up
Sense of emptiness and confusion

And I really wish that you could help
Seeking support and comfort from others

But my head is like a carousel
Reference to the circular and repetitive nature of negative thoughts

And I'm going round in circles
Feeling stuck and unable to escape negative thoughts

We are possessed
Feeling overwhelmed and consumed by negative emotions

We're all fucked in the head
Admitting to struggling with mental health issues

Alone and depressed
Feelings of isolation and sadness

Maybe we'll forget 'cause
Using music to forget about problems for a while

Don't wake us up, we'd rather just keep dreaming
Preferring to escape reality through sleep and dreams

'Cause the nightmares in our heads are bad enough
Acknowledging the severity of negative thoughts and emotions

The world has coalesced
Observation of negativity and chaos in the world

Into one giant mess
Feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world

Of hate and unrest
Describing current social and political issues

So let's all sing along
Suggesting everyone come together and focus on something positive

A little goddamn louder to a happy song
Using music to drown out negativity and focus on happiness

And pretend it's all ok
Acknowledging that things aren't perfect, but choosing to focus on positive things

Well, don't you feel so much better?
Suggesting that listening to positive music has lifted one's mood

Yeah, that's the spirit
Positive reinforcement and encouragement to maintain a hopeful attitude
