Happiness
Blank & Jones with Cathy Battistessa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Following this map on how to live
Treasures in the oceans of my head are sunk between the reefs
X will mark the spot I need to dive
Strap a breather on and fashion fins and be part of the hive

Re-route our predefined flight paths
Ill stop the masses fighting over scraps
Ill delete money so that we can live
Imagine all the fucks we wouldn't give

I wouldn't worry about a thing
I wont compare you to anything
Ill build us an island just off Spain
Do you feel sometimes life is a game?
Your high scores are dust
Ah come on
It does that to us yeh
Id do that for us

Imagine all the problems we could fix
In space and time and travel and diseases
Just for kicks
Man can send a man to explore Mars
But maybe man should try and save the earth
Before he kills the stars

We are busy fighting over mine and yours
Fighting over text books and calling it religious wars
Id stop the worthless thoughts so we could live
Imagine all the fucks we wouldn't give

I wouldn't worry about a thing
I wont compare you to anything
Ill build us an island just off Spain
Do you feel sometimes life is a game?
Your high scores are dust
Ah come on




It does that to us yeh
Id do that for us

Overall Meaning

The song Happiness, by Blank & Jones featuring Cathy Battistessa, is an exploration of what life could be like if we let go of societal and cultural expectations and just focused on living in the present moment. The lyrics speak of following a map to live a fulfilling life, full of hidden treasures waiting to be discovered in our own minds. The imagery of sinking treasures between reefs is symbolic of how we often bury our true passions and desires beneath layers of societal norms and expectations. The chorus speaks of not worrying about anything and not comparing oneself to anyone, as the freedom to live life as we truly desire would make all our past accomplishments and high scores seem insignificant.


The lyrics also touch on the idea of re-routing our predefined flight paths, implying that we should take control of our lives instead of blindly following what society tells us we should do. The line "I'll delete money so that we can live" suggests that our obsession with wealth and material possessions is a major obstacle to true happiness. The lyrics then invite us to imagine all the problems we could solve, from space exploration to curing diseases, if only we could let go of our prejudices and work together. The song ends with the singer suggesting that we should stop worrying about meaningless conflicts and focus on living a fulfilling life, full of love and happiness.
