Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To get you off my mind
I'm gonna put up my two fingers
Gonna raise them to the sky
And oh, I hope you see me smilin'
But it's just another lie
Thinkin' ha, happy thoughts
You gave me nothin' I can keep
I wrote you love songs
You haven't wrote me in a week
Can't even sleep, no
When you're the only thing I dream
The only thing I need
'Cause all I see is you
In every city, everybody new
I know it's fuckin' sad, but God, it's true
I know you wouldn't understand
I'm doin' everythin' I can to not think of you
So I've been thinkin' happy thoughts
To get you off my mind
I'm gonna put up my two fingers
Gonna raise them to the sky
And oh, I hope you see me smilin'
But it's just another lie
Thinkin' ha, ha
Ha, happy thoughts
I should have moved on
Let other people in my space
Wrote you an album
Even a song that had your name
I hope you hear this
There's still a lot I gotta say
I hope you feel the same
'Cause all I see is you
In every city, everybody new
I know it's fuckin' sad, but God, it's true
I know you wouldn't understand
I'm doin' everythin' I can to not think of you
So I've been thinkin' happy thoughts
To get you off my mind
I'm gonna put up my two fingers
Gonna raise them to the sky
And oh, I hope you see me smilin'
But it's just another lie
Thinkin' ha, happy thoughts
Yeah, I've been thinkin' happy thoughts
To get you off my brain
I'm gonna keep on, keep on dancin'
'Til my legs, they start to break
And oh, I hope you see me smilin'
But it's just me bein' fake
Thinkin' ha, ha
Ha, happy thoughts
Thinkin' ha, ha
Ha, happy thoughts
FELIX SANDMAN's song "Happy Thoughts" appears to be about heartbreak and the struggle to move on. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been trying to get their ex-lover out of their mind by thinking about happy things, which are actually just a mask for the pain they're feeling. In the first verse, the singer talks about trying to be happy to get over their ex, but it's just another lie they're telling themselves. They put their fingers up to the sky, hoping that their ex might see them smiling and think they're doing well, but deep down, they know it's not true.
The second verse explores the singer's regret and frustration about the relationship. They gave their lover a lot but didn't receive much in return. The singer even wrote love songs for their ex, but they haven't been reciprocated. Despite trying to move on, the singer can't help but think about their ex, no matter where they are or who they're with. They know it's sad but true and that their ex wouldn't understand. The chorus repeats the idea of positive thinking to get over the break-up - they're trying to keep dancing and keep smiling, but it's all a facade.
Overall, the song "Happy Thoughts" shows us the struggle of navigating the feelings that come with a break-up - the heartache, regret, and longing. The singer is trying to put on a brave face and move on, but they're ultimately still stuck in the past. The song is relatable and emotional, reflecting the universal experience of breaking up with someone you truly cared about.
