They are known for their humour during their live performances, which includes lots of inflatable bananas and inflatable champagne bottles.
In March 2014 Engblom was forced to abandon performing due to a medical emergency. In September 2014, Cornéer was diagnosed with cancer and took a temporary absence from performing. In 2015 he released the album "One" under the name Night Gestalt. He has since been declared cancer-free.
In September 2017, Cornéer announced his intent to stop touring as part of Dada Life due to health concerns, but made it clear that his concerns had nothing to do with his 2014 cancer diagnosis. He continues to produce in-studio with Engblom, whilst Engblom tours.
The name Dada Life comes from the absurdist movement of "dadaism" from the early twentieth century.
Dada Life additionally hold two Guinness World Records, for the world's largest pillow fight and the largest gathering of people dressed as fruit.
Happy Violence
Dada Life Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come or I'll make you, and then I'll show you how
Cause baby you and me we are on our feet, no defeat smiling faces
Make this night the very last fight, the wildest life smiling faces
It's my happy violence,
Forcing us tonight it feels so right.
Crashing into you, right into you.
Feel the pleasure, I make you wanna smile.
Feel or I'll make you, no need to question why
Cause baby you and me we are on our feet, no defeat smiling faces
Make this night the very last fight, the wildest life smiling faces
It's my happy violence,
Forcing us tonight it feels so right.
It's my happy violence,
Crashing into you, right into you.
It's my happy violence,
Forcing us tonight it feels so right.
It's my happy violence,
Crashing into you, right into you.
The lyrics to Dada Life's song "Happy Violence" seem at first glance to promote a somewhat disturbing message of coercion and force. However, upon closer examination, the song can be interpreted as a celebration of joyful abandon and freedom from societal constraints or expectations. The repeated phrase "smiling faces" suggests that the two people involved are experiencing genuine happiness and pleasure, and the lines "no defeat" and "the wildest life" imply a sense of liberation and empowerment.
The concept of "happy violence" is paradoxical and unsettling, but it can be seen as a metaphor for the explosive, primal energy that can be unleashed when we allow ourselves to fully embrace our desires and impulses. The repetition of the lines "forcing us tonight/it feels so right" suggest that the singer is encouraging their partner to let go of inhibitions and dive headfirst into the experience, even if it may be intense or overwhelming.
Overall, "Happy Violence" is a provocative and ambiguous song that can be interpreted in multiple ways. It may be seen as an anthem for hedonistic abandon or as a disturbing celebration of coercive power dynamics, depending on one's perspective.
