37 Happy With Me
Holychild Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See me running 'round the corner, move me up into the upswing
Call me undone
When I speak about the truth, I’m only brought up to the downbeat
It’s not easy there
When you feel the wear
Patience brings the tear
Everyday do you notice that we’re never free?
Oh, why can’t you be happy with me?
Everyday we are running 'round trapped in our seat
Oh, why can’t you be happy with me?
Oh, why can't you be happy with me?
Pushing paper
I do everything I’m told, and yeah, I do it for the money
Understating
Every action that I take until I know there’s something coming
It’s not easy there
When you feel the wear
Patience brings the tear
Oh, oh, oh
Everyday do you notice that we’re never free?
Oh, why can’t you be happy with me?
Everyday we are running 'round trapped in our seat
Oh, why can’t you be happy with me?
Everyday do you notice that we’re never free?
Oh, why can’t you be happy with me?
Everyday we are running 'round trapped in our seat
Oh, why can’t you be happy with me?
The messages won’t stop, they just keep pulling at you
Teasing us with the thought that that is something we’ll do
If we could hold the tongue and focus all our time through
We would just rise above this cycle that we’re bound to
(Everyday do you notice that we’re never free?)
(Oh, why can’t you be happy with me?)
(Everyday we are running)
(Everyday we are running)
(Everyday we are running)
Everyday do you notice that we’re never free?
Oh, why can’t you be happy with me?
Everyday we are running 'round trapped in our seat
Oh, why can’t you be happy with me?
Everyday do you notice that we’re never free?
Oh, why can’t you be happy with me?
Everyday we are running 'round trapped in our seat
Oh, why can’t you be happy with me?
Everyday do you notice that we’re never free?
Oh, why can’t you be happy with me?
Everyday we are running 'round trapped in our seat
Oh, why can’t you be happy with me?
"01Happy With Me" by Holychild is a song about feeling trapped in a mundane and unfulfilled life. The lyrics speak to the frustration and sense of entrapment that comes with conforming to societal expectations and norms. The singer is struggling to find something that makes them happy in a world that seems to be constantly pressuring them to fit in and do what they're told. The first verse describes the futility of trying to break free from the norm ("I can't wake up") and feeling like every time they try to escape, they end up back where they started ("move me up into the upswing / Call me undone / When I speak about the truth, I’m only brought up to the downbeat"). The second verse describes the exhausting monotony of a job that is done solely for the sake of financial security ("Pushing paper / I do everything I'm told, and yeah, I do it for the money") and the feeling of being constantly scrutinized and misunderstood ("Every action that I take until I know there’s something coming").

I was listening to holy child's live versions of this song and did not like them. She was pitchy and off key at times. This is a great cover of that song! You sing wonderfully and hit all the notes perfectly! Thanks for making this :)
