Happy Song pt. 2
Bracket Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't forget the memories
Of how things used to be
Now stop and take a look at me

I can't go
I can't let go and forget
I can't let go (x2)

I want you all to know that I'm alive
Couldn't make me quit or take a dive
All I need is just another life

I can't forget the memories
Of how things used to be
Now stop and take a look at me

I can't go
I can't let go and forget
I can't let go (x2)

I can't forget the memories
Of how things used to be
Now stop and take a look at me

I can't go

I can't let go and forget
I can't let go (x2)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bracket's "Happy Song pt. 2" express feelings of isolation, loneliness, and a yearning for connection. The singer reveals their desire to hide their loneliness and prefer being at school rather than at home, emphasizing the absence of friends in their life. They believe that others cannot fully understand what it feels like to be controlled by someone else, or to have a childlike spirit suppressed by adulthood.

The repetition of the phrase "I can't forget the memories" suggests that the singer is holding onto past experiences, possibly happier times when they did have friends or felt more alive. They long for a different life, for a chance to start anew. The repeated refrain "I can't go, I can't let go and forget" reflects their struggle to move on and release these memories, indicating a reluctance to let go of the past.

Line by Line Meaning

I don't want you to know that I'm alone
I prefer to hide my loneliness from you

Rather be at school well, then at home
I'd rather be at school than face my loneliness at home

If I had a friend I would have known
If I had a friend, they would understand my struggles

This is something that you don't understand
You can't comprehend what I'm going through

What it's like to be under someone's hand
The feeling of being controlled by someone else

I never like the boy inside the man
I dislike the immature side of someone more mature

I can't forget the memories
The memories are deeply ingrained in my mind

Of how things used to be
Reminiscing about the past and how it was

Now stop and take a look at me
Take a moment to observe and understand me

I can't go
I feel stuck and unable to move forward

I can't let go and forget
I can't release the memories and move on

I can't let go (x2)
I'm unable to detach myself from the past

I want you all to know that I'm alive
I want everyone to acknowledge my existence

Couldn't make me quit or take a dive
Difficulties won't make me give up or break me

All I need is just another life
I yearn for a fresh start and a different existence

I can't forget the memories
The memories are deeply ingrained in my mind

Of how things used to be
Reminiscing about the past and how it was

Take a moment to observe and understand me

I can't go
I feel stuck and unable to move forward

I can't let go and forget
I can't release the memories and move on

I can't let go (x2)
I'm unable to detach myself from the past
