After Don Cherry's death in 1995, Eagle-Eye moved to Stockholm with his girlfriend, and he began to focus on songwriting. He soon recorded 'Desireless' (1997), and it became a hit across Scandinavia and the rest of Europe, with an American release coming in 1998. "Save Tonight" proved a major hit, and made Cherry into an international star. His second album came in 2000 (titled 'Living in the Present Future') and was remixed for the States (where it was released as 'Present/Future'), but it saw disappointing sales. Cherry's success has waxed and waned since his late 90s heyday
Are You Still Having Fun
Eagle-Eye Cherry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You do as you please
Having so much fun
Gone and lost your reason
After all is said and done
Well are you still having fun?
How were you to know when you've gone astray?
That happiness would go like a lost emotion
Are you happy today?
Well you know when you've been defeated
You don't care and you thank no one
Feeling low you will always need it
Are you're having fun?
Well are you still having fun?
This was your mistake with the master plan
With all the drugs you take, you can hardly stand
After all is said and done
Well are you still having fun?
Well, you know when you've been defeated
You don't care and you thank no one
Feeling low you will always need it
Are you're having fun?
Well are you still having fun?
You don't know what it is you've done
Just to show that you're having fun
You don't know what it is you've done
Just to show that
I can set you straight if you let me stay
I hope I'm not too late
No you won't regret it
I can show you the way
And make you happy today
Yes, you know when you've been defeated
You don't care and you thank no one
Feeling low you will always need it
Are you're having fun?
Yes, you know when you've been defeated
You don't care and you thank no one
Feeling low you will always need it
Well, you know when you're not being cheated
Yes, you know when you've been defeated
Feeling low you will always need it
Now you're having fun
And are you still having fun?
Are you still having fun?
Are you still having
fun?
In the song "Are You Still Having Fun?", Eagle-Eye Cherry sings about the idea that everyone is free to make choices in their lives, but sometimes those choices can lead to negative consequences. He asks the listener if they are still enjoying themselves even though they may have gone astray and lost their reason for happiness. The lyrics suggest that, despite the outward appearance of having fun, there may be a void inside that isn't being fulfilled. Cherry also explores the idea of drug use and its effects on one's life, pointing out that even the most masterful plan can go awry when substances are involved.
The repeated phrase "you know when you've been defeated" emphasizes the theme of personal responsibility and the consequences of one's actions. Cherry offers a glimmer of hope at the end of the song, suggesting that he can help the listener find their way back to happiness if they allow him to.
Overall, "Are You Still Having Fun?" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of losing sight of what truly brings joy in life and the importance of taking responsibility for one's choices.

The first time I listened to this song was about fifteen ago when I didn't understand absolutely nothing of English, and I didn't remember the title of this song neither the singer. Tonight I was remembering that beat and I tried to look for. I began:
> There is...
> There are...
> There are steel (that shit doesn't make any sense)
> Are they
> Are you
> Are you still
> Are still fun
Then, Google understood me.
That's so Aden
Why is this song so underrated? It should have the same amount of views as 'Save Tonight'
Major Cruel Intention vibes
