It's Cool
Human Kitten Lyrics

The lyrics of "It's Cool" by Human Kitten delve into the theme of the pursuit of happiness, and how it is perceived and received by individuals. The initial conversation between two people sets the tone for the song, where the person speaking expresses their desire to be happy. The second person responds, almost patronizingly, by stating the obvious - everyone wants to be happy. The first person acknowledges this, but also highlights the fact that they had made a promise to themselves to experience everything to tell others, but it has become tiring.

The first verse of the song then delves into what happiness means to the singer. They state that they don't necessarily want to be right, but rather they want to be happy. In fact, they want to be so happy that they want to be sappy and cry to romantic comedies. They also want to watch stupid action movies, showing that their definition of happiness is not one-dimensional. The following lines suggest a certain level of acceptance that happiness is achievable, with the mention of a possible god upstairs who may favor them.

The second verse of the song takes on a slightly more philosophical tone, with the singer noting that there is always so much conflict and they don't understand it. They then address someone else, who seems consumed with the need for the last word and proving themselves right, and emphasizes that this should not be mistaken for happiness.

Overall, the song expresses the desire for happiness and how it cannot be reduced to just one simple thing. It calls for a deeper understanding of what it means to be truly happy and a recognition that it is achievable.
