I'm Glad You're Happy
Early Internet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fiend for feeds and I scroll
New York City
Deals its hand and I fold
It's coming up against me
Showing off your heart
Is everything against me?
I don't think you are
Four frames in a booth
Flash your eyes
And catch me surprised
Separate
You move on, I still wait for what's done
And all your echoes are gone
It's coming up against me
Showing off your heart
Is everything against me?
I don't think you are
It's coming up against me
Showing off your heart
Is everything against me?
It's coming up against me
Showing off your heart
Is everything against me?
The lyrics of "I'm Glad You're Happy" by Early Internet capture the theme of longing and isolation in the digital age. The opening lines, "Stare at screens, fiend for feeds, and I scroll," convey the singer's preoccupation with technology and their constant need to consume online content. The mention of New York City dealing its hand and the singer folding suggests a sense of resignation or defeat, perhaps indicating that they feel overwhelmed or disconnected in their environment.
The recurring line, "It's coming up against me, showing off your heart, is everything against me? I don't think you are," reflects the singer's internal struggle. They feel as though the world is working against them, but they don't believe that the person they are addressing is part of that opposition. This could imply a desire for connection or understanding from this person, who is seen as a potential source of solace amidst the challenges faced.
The verse, "Here's the truth, four frames in a booth, flash your eyes and catch me surprised, separate, you move on, I still wait for what's done and all your echoes are gone," paints a vivid picture of a fleeting moment of intimacy. The four frames could represent photographs or snapshots, emphasizing the transience of the connection. The singer is caught off guard by this person's gaze, which suggests a deeper emotional impact. However, while the person moves on, the singer remains waiting, longing for what has passed, realizing that the connection they had is now lost or fading away.
Overall, "I'm Glad You're Happy" explores the paradoxical experience of the digital era, where constant connectivity can still leave one feeling isolated and disconnected. It portrays the longing for deeper emotional connections and the struggle to find meaning and fulfillment in a digitally-driven world.

Is everything against me?
Wondering if the world is conspiring to block one's happiness
