Blueboy's songwriting touches on the timeless indie-pop motifs of intimacy and vulnerability, with a modicum of sexual ambiguity, both in lyrics and cover artwork. Their sound combines the jangly guitar-based pop sound of their genre with elements of bossa nova and shoegazer.

Happiness And Smiles
Blueboy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walking through summery fields
Staring at the sky is like this
Is it happiness and smiles
Going on for a hundred thousand million miles?
Or is it sadder than the world will ever know
Loneliness and knowing that you can't go?
You and I are in this love but what comes after this? (tell me)
Is it happiness and smiles
Going on for a hundred thousand million miles?
Or is it sadder than the world will ever know
Loneliness and knowing that you can't go?
The lyrics of Blueboy's song "Happiness and Smiles" express the complex emotions that the singer experiences as they walk through summery fields and ponder upon the meaning of life. The opening lines of "Sundazed and I can purify" suggests that the singer is in a state of euphoria and is seeking mental or spiritual purification through their surroundings. They are then struck by the vastness of the sky, and question whether the happiness and smiles they see extend to the far reaches of the universe or if it is just a temporary state of mind. The lyrics then take a darker turn as the singer wonders if there is a sadder reality that they are not aware of, a loneliness that cannot be expressed, and a fear of what lies beyond love.
The lyrics convey a sense of uncertainty and confusion about life and one's place in it. The repetition of the question "Is it happiness and smiles going on for a hundred thousand million miles?" adds to the dreamy quality of the song and emphasizes the singer's desire for clarity and understanding. The haunting chorus which repeats the question "Or is it sadder than the world will ever know loneliness and knowing that you can't go?" suggests that the singer is haunted by the possibility that there may be a truth that they are unable to comprehend, a sadness that is beyond their understanding. The closing lines asking "You and I are in this love but what comes after this?" and wondering "What lies above, is it like this?" implies that the singer is questioning the very foundations of their existence and their outlook on life.
