Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Harmony and peace of mind
Make you better
We're here to welcome you
We're all on a journey to
Finding the real inner you
Make you better (make you better)
Time stops to whir
You've lost life
[Chorus]
Happiness
How did you get to be
Happiness
How did you get to find
Love, real love
Love, love, love
Footing in the magic world
Donate all your money we'll
Make it better (make it better)
We're here to welcome you
We can see a troubled soul
Give us all your money we'll
Make it better (make it better)
We're here to welcome you
Time stops to whir
You've lost life
[Chorus]
We'll be swimming in the sea
Of wisdom and serenity
Make you better
[Chorus:Repeat x4]
The lyrics to Goldfrapp feat. The Teenagers' "Happiness" convey the message of a cult-like organization that promises its followers a sense of harmony, peace, and happiness. The opening lines, "Join our group and you will find/Harmony and peace of mind/Make you better/We're here to welcome you" suggest that the group is actively recruiting members to help them achieve their goals of happiness and betterment.
The second verse, "We're all on a journey to/Finding the real inner you/Make you better (make you better)/We're here to welcome you" highlights the group's emphasis on self-discovery and suggests that they believe their methods will help individuals find their true purpose and meaning in life. The chorus, "Happiness/How did you get to be/Happiness/How did you get to find/Love, real love/Love, love, love" seems to be addressing the idea that true happiness and love are difficult to come by and must be sought out.
Throughout the song, there are also hints of manipulation and control as the group asks its followers to donate all their money, promising to make things better in return. The line, "We can see a troubled soul/Give us all your money we'll/Make it better (make it better)/We're here to welcome you," implies that vulnerable individuals who are struggling emotionally may be more susceptible to the group's tactics.
Overall, "Happiness" seems to be a cautionary tale about the dangers of blindly following a charismatic leader or organization in search of happiness and fulfillment.
