Die Happy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
thousand spiders creeping 'round in my middle
I am trying to ignore all my feelings
but it doesn't help at all, doesn't help at all
it's like a rollercoaster ride
going up going down turning me around
it's like a neverending trip that you took 'cause it's hip
I'M IN LOVE
I'M IN LOVE
SPEEDING UP TO 1000 MILES PER HOUR
I'M IN LOVE
I'M INSANE
SOMEONE SCREWED MY WEARY LITTLE BRAIN
SOMETHING THAT I COULDN'T SEE BEFORE
all that seemed to be a joke is not funny
no matter if it's night or day, I keep running
I'm about to realise what was scaring me the most
that I like to be a victim, that I'm lost
it's like a rollercoaster ride
going up going down turning me around
it's like a neverending trip that you took 'cause it's hip
there is no way out
it's like a bloody thriller with a silly happy end that you never expected
it's like a pretty dream that i had that night when i felt neglected
The song In Love by Die Happy is about the uncontrollable feeling of falling in love. The first verse describes the physical and emotional sensations that occur when someone realizes they are in love. The use of the metaphor of "thousand spiders creeping 'round in my middle" illustrates the feeling of anxiousness and nervousness that often accompanies falling in love. The singer tries to ignore these feelings but comes to the realization that it doesn't help at all.
The chorus describes the rollercoaster-like feeling of being in love, where the emotions can be intense and unpredictable. The lyrics "speeding up to 1000 miles per hour" and "someone screwed my weary little brain" depict the overwhelming and dizzying feeling of love. The singer acknowledges that they are "insane" and that something has "screwed" with their head.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's realization that they have been suppressing their desire to be in love and have been a victim to their own fear. The use of the metaphor "it's like a bloody thriller with a silly happy end that you never expected" emphasizes the unexpectedness of falling in love and how it can feel like a suspenseful story with an unforeseen happy ending. The final metaphor of "it's like a pretty dream that I had that night when I felt neglected" highlights the idea that love can come when least expected, and the reward is a beautiful feeling of fulfillment.
Overall, the song showcases the elation and chaos that accompanies falling in love, depicting the experience as a thrilling and emotional rollercoaster ride.
