Overall Meaning

The song "Happy Birthday" by Camp Edwards is a brutally honest and raw ballad about the aftermath of a breakup and the realization that the person you once loved has moved on to someone else. The lyrics "Happy, fucking birthday to you" immediately set the tone for the song's bitterness and resentment towards the ex-lover.

He acknowledges that his ex has moved on to someone else, and that person must be better than him in some way. The pain and hurt caused by the breakup are palpable in the lyrics, as the singer struggles to come to terms with the new reality of their life without their former partner.

I came here expecting the generic half scream that most bands advertised on r/emo have but I was genuinely impressed when to hear the way your vocals sounded when put to the instrumentals. The vocals do need more work but that will come in time and practice. The instrumentals are killer too. Solid 6-7/10 band for right now. You guys have a lot of potential, I look forward to seeing what you become in the future. Good luck.

i also love this with all my heart and this band with all my heart
