Shining Path
Happyhead Lyrics

You see how high the moon is
The singer is aware of the beauty in the world.

My pride bought with a kiss
The singer felt great satisfaction and pride from an intimate moment.

So soon under your motion
The singer feels as though they are powerless under the influence of someone else.

My world ceased to exist
The artist's whole world is defined by their feelings towards the subject of the song.

If you want to know
The artist is inviting the listener to hear their story.

Here is my confession
The singer is going to tell the listener what they’ve been hiding.

I was a man in the grip of obsession
The singer had an unhealthy and obsessive attachment to someone or something.

Now you ought to know
The artist wants to inform the listener of something important.

I made a big decision
The artist has made a choice that will change their life.

More than a man I'm a man with a mission
The artist feels empowered and has a sense of purpose.

Here is is - my shining path
The singer has found their true direction in life.

Pale fire - your one desire come true
The artist can make the subject’s dream a reality.

Cool thrill - a wish fulfilled
The singer can satisfy the subject’s desires while remaining calm and collected.

Take a trip from your head to your heart
The singer wants the subject to tap into their emotions instead of overthinking everything.

On the shining path
The singer is still moving forward towards their goal.

You'll know when this is over
The artist promises that the end is in sight.

One sign will say believe
The artist tells the subject to continue believing in them and their mission.

Just when you're so uncertain
The subject will feel reassured in the midst of doubt.

You'll ask and you'll receive
The singer promises to provide the subject with what they need.

Now is when you show
The subject is being tested now.

A gesture of contrition
The subject is being asked to show remorse or regret in some way.

This kind of love is the modern condition
The artist believes that this type of love, with all the feelings and struggles it entails, is typical in modern society.

This could be a blow
The singer is aware that what they are saying could be hurtful to the subject.

To my way of thinking
The artist is comparing their perspective to the subject’s.

Pride rising as the moon is sinking
The singer’s pride is increasing as the evening goes on.
