Transient Happiness
DOPING PANDA Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are not a burden.
Of course I'm not too.
You didn't go with my town.
That the way it goes.
And we decided to
meet in the secret wood
only once a year.
I am not a burden

because I understood
your thought.
I didn't go with your town.
But we loved 80th music.
Now a secret wood was
found and we decided to go
fairyland.
Turn at that corner
to the right.
Turn at that corner
to the right.
Receive that wind in your body.
And we run And we run
And we run away.

I am not a burden
because I understood
your thought.
I didn't go with your town.
But we loved 80th music.
Now a secret wood was
found and we decided to go
fairyland.
Turn at that corner
to the right.
Turn at that corner
to the right.
Receive that wind in your body.
And we run And we run
And we run away.
Turn at that corner
to the right.
Turn at that corner
to the right.
Receive that wind in your body.
And we run And we run
And we run away.

Turn at that corner
to the right.
Turn at that corner
to the right.
Receive that wind in your body.
And we run And we run
And we run away.
Oh we love each other.
Oh we love each other.
Receive that wind in your body.
And we run And we run
And we run away.

And we run And we run
And we run away.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to DOPING PANDA's song Transient Happiness are a poetic expression of a love that transcends physical boundaries and societal norms. The opening lines "You are not a burden. Of course, I'm not too" suggest a mutual understanding and respect between the two people in question. The following line "You didn't go with my town. That's the way it goes" suggests that their love may have faced opposition or disapproval from others, but they are determined to make it work.

The reference to meeting in a secret wood only once a year further adds to the idea that their love is not easily attainable or accepted by others. The mention of 80s music adds a nostalgic touch to the lyrics and possibly reflects the shared interests and bond between them. The repeated chorus of "Turn at that corner to the right. Receive that wind in your body. And we run and we run and we run away" has a dream-like quality to it and suggests an escape from reality to a place where they can be together without judgment or obstacles.

Overall, the lyrics convey a message of love, acceptance, and escapism, and encourage listeners to embrace their own desires and pursue their own happiness, even if it means going against the norm.
