Happy People
Deal Casino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While they're dreaming about the weekend
I'm getting sick of blowing candles out
Another year's gone by again
I'm all alone again
I want to understand
How
Don't rest until there's nothing left to buy
Oh, happy people always get it right
We'd probably hurt ourselves if we tried
A letter in a plastic bag
With a list of all the things that she had
An open window on the ninth floor
And now the world thinks that she's gone mad
It can't be that bad
Don't be so sad
Because
Oh, happy people smile all the time
Don't rest until there's nothing left to buy
Oh, happy people always get it right
We'd probably hurt ourselves if we tried
Oh, happy people smile all the time
Don't rest until there's nothing left to buy
Oh, happy people never seem to mind
But I'd probably kill myself
The song "Happy People" by Deal Casino delves into the facade of happiness and the pressure to conform to society's expectations. The first verse touches upon the frustration of feeling stagnant and stuck in a cycle, with the wish for a catastrophic event to disrupt their mundane routine. This is followed by the line "I'm all alone again, I want to understand how," which hints at the singer's isolation and desire for clarity amidst the overwhelming pressure to be happy.
The chorus brings up the common theme of happy people that is found throughout the song. It seems like society expects people to wear a constant smile and keep up with the materialistic culture of consumerism. The line "We'd probably hurt ourselves if we tried" implies that attempting to keep up with this perfect perception of happiness can be harmful, and the pressure to be happy can be overwhelming.
The second verse seems to delve into more serious matters, with the mention of a person writing a list of things they have before seemingly contemplating suicide, as the line "And now the world thinks that she's gone mad" suggests. The chorus then repeats, with slight variations highlighting the fact that happy people never seem to mind and may not be genuine in their happiness.

I hope the bomb lands in their bed
I wish harm upon those who have wronged me
While they're dreaming about the weekend
Even in their sleep, they are preoccupied with leisure
I'm getting sick of blowing candles out
I am tired of aging and the passage of time
Another year's gone by again
Time has passed and another year has ended
I'm all alone again
I am lonely and feel isolated
I want to understand
I seek answers and explanations for my situation
How
I am curious as to the reasoning behind certain actions/events
Oh, happy people smile all the time
Those who are content in life always put on a facade of joy
Don't rest until there's nothing left to buy
They are always in pursuit of material possessions and wealth
Oh, happy people always get it right
Those that are content never make mistakes in life
We'd probably hurt ourselves if we tried
Attempting to replicate their success may harm us in the process
A letter in a plastic bag
A note kept safe for preservation
With a list of all the things that she had
Inventory of her possessions, nothing more
An open window on the ninth floor
A location providing the ultimate escape
And now the world thinks that she's gone mad
People question her sanity for wanting to jump
It can't be that bad
Things can’t possibly be terrible
Don't be so sad
Do not despair, things will get better
Oh, happy people smile all the time
Happiness continually exudes from the satisfied
Don't rest until there's nothing left to buy
Their materialistic desires will never cease until they meet their goal
Oh, happy people never seem to mind
Those who have everything are oblivious to the real problems
But I'd probably kill myself
But the distress could potentially drive me to suicide
