Happy Days
Ghost and Pals Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So kiss my tongue, make everything better
Show me you′ll be with me forever
Still, our happy days will never be granted
'Cus even if it′s never said, I know it's true; You want me dead

I'm afraid of flowers wilting away when I don′t get to say goodbye
And maybe there′s a chance that I can save them one more time
But I'm a liar, lying to me
I′m a liar, lying to me
Oh, I'm alone
I′m afraid of reaping what I sow for showing any sort of fear
But if I don't communicate, I′ll drown myself in tears
'Cus I'm a liar, lying to me
Lying to me
Don′tcha wish that things could go exactly how you want it
I′d be exactly how you want me
Selfishness is a dirty little sinner
But, for you, it's my priority
Y′know, things could go exactly how you want it
I'd be exactly how you want me
Use what′s left of my dirty personality
I'm all yours; I′ll do anything

So kiss my tongue, make everything better
Show me you'll be with me forever
Even if it's heart-to-heart
You hated me from the start
Happy days will never be granted
Now you know my thoughts have gone rancid
Even if it′s never said
I know it′s true; You want me dead
La-da-ta-da la-da-da-da-da
Things could go exactly how you want it
{Wo oah}
And I could be exactly how you want me to be
{He ey}
But I know I'll never be the one
And when "farewell" is said and done
It′s probably best for everyone
If I'm never seen again
But I know it′s ridiculous
You don't gotta tell me twice
I′d rather be safe than sorry
And sorry for all I've done
Oh, our happy days
Don't you wish that shooting stars could grant all of your wishes
You′d leave me sleeping with the fishes
Selflessness is a devastating demon
But, for you, it′s all I wanna be
Y'know, things could go exactly how you want it
I′d be exactly how you want me
Use what's left of my soiled personality
I′m all yours; I'll do anything
So kiss my tongue, make everything better
Show me you′ll be with me forever
Even if it's heart-to-heart
You hated me from the start
Happy days will never be granted
Now you know my thoughts have gone rancid
Even if it's never said
I know it′s true; You want me dead
Oh, it′s painful
My heart is quite a mouthful
I'll tear it out for you
I′ll be the sacrifice for you




Oh, our happy days
La-da-ta-da la-da-da-da-da

Overall Meaning

The song "Happy Days" by Ghost and Pals seems to be a story of a person who is afraid of losing their loved one. The opening lyrics "So kiss my tongue, make everything better, Show me you'll be with me forever" suggest that the person is seeking reassurance from their partner that they will always be together. However, as the song progresses, it becomes apparent that there are underlying issues in the relationship. The lines "Even if it's heart-to-heart, You hated me from the start, Happy days will never be granted" suggest that the relationship is not a happy one and that there may have been animosity from the start. The line "I know it's true; You want me dead" is a powerful statement that adds to the sense of fear and anxiety in the song. It is unclear if this is a literal desire or a metaphorical one, but it adds to the tense and unsettling nature of the lyrics.


The chorus of the song repeats the line "Don'tcha wish that things could go exactly how you want it, I'd be exactly how you want me" which suggests that the person is willing to do anything to make their partner happy, even at the expense of their own happiness. The line "Selfishness is a dirty little sinner, But, for you, it's my priority" adds to this idea, suggesting that the person is willing to sacrifice their own needs for the sake of their partner's happiness. However, there is a sense of desperation in the lyrics, as if the person knows that they are not enough to make their partner happy, and that they are willing to do anything to keep them.


In conclusion, "Happy Days" is a song about fear, anxiety, and a desperate desire to keep a loved one. The lyrics convey a sense of sadness and desperation, as the person in the song is willing to do anything to make their partner happy, even if it means sacrificing their own happiness. The repeated line "Don'tcha wish that things could go exactly how you want it, I'd be exactly how you want me" is a powerful statement that encapsulates the theme of the song.

I see a pattern.

Distortionist: big hair, slightly spoopy eyes.

Appetite of a People Pleaser: kinda big hair, same eyes show up at times.

In Iolite: kinda big hair, same eyes.

This song: big hair, same eyes.

Why is this a pattern? Does it mean something? Cuz this song, in iolite, and distortionist use radio/old theater/old cartoon sound filters in them. Appetite of a people pleaser kinda uses these effects. So is it purposeful? And what is the purpose?

Obligatory Edit: why do i have more likes on this comment than likes on my videos, this is just me being overanalytic

@dysphoriaax

Tbh some of these lyrics kinda remind me if my social anxiety:
"Even though it's never said, I know it's true, you want me dead" could be jumping to conclusions on what another person might think of you, even if you've never met them.
"I’m afraid of reaping what I sow or showing any sort of fear, but if I don’t communicate I’ll drown myself in tears" can be how social anxiety makes it hard for you to pursue what you want to sometimes due to what others might think, even if it's harmless and nobody would mind. And the other half could be how sometimes you stay quiet if you need help with something so nobody will think your annoying among other things, to the point of frustration and tears.
"It’s probably best for everyone if I’m never seen again"
Thinking you've messed up and now everyone hates you, thinks your weird, etc and how they probably want you gone
"But I know that’s ridiculous, you don’t gotta tell me twice, I’d rather be safe than sorry, and sorry for all I’ve done"
Knowing that probably nobody cares about what your doing, but not being able to shake the feeling. And the other part could be avoiding certain things to prevent bad situations from happening + apologizing for being annoying when you weren't in the first place.
"My heart is quite a mouthful"
The emotions and feelings that cone with this anxiety.
Ik it's not what the song is about but it's just what the lyrics reminded me of, as someone who thinks they have social anxiety :))

@helioizer3366

Parody of this called "happiest days" that I made on the spot

"so kiss my hand make everything better!"
"show me that we will be together forever"
"even if its heart-to-heart, you loved me from the start"
"happy days will always be granted"
"we both know our thoughts have not gone rancid"
"even if its never said"
"I know its true your love is in my head!"
