Happy Virus
Hundreds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my tiny little plastic box
where coffein is the only drug
the doors and windows never open
something contagious could come up

we see where the horizon ends
and scream until our lies will heard
We open up we leave the key
find out what it means to me
We waste our time on borderlines
and never ask what will become
our hearts are filled with empty shells
the work is done, the work is done
the work is done, the work is done

We live in happy little boxes
celebrate shopping all day long
back home, we drink nice carbo liquids
a taste of life on my tongue (2x)

In my tiny little colony
something contagious will come up
the doors and windows are all broken
the virus as a gentle hug

we sympathize with open ends
and scream until our lies will heard

We open up we leave the key
find out what it means to me

We live in happy little boxes
celebrate shopping all day long




back home, we drink nice carbo liquids
a taste of life on my tongue (2x)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Happy Virus" by Hundreds reflect a critique of consumer culture and its impact on our lives. The song begins with the image of the singer trapped in a box, where caffeine is the only stimulation that they receive. The doors and windows never open because the outside world is perceived as dangerous and contagious, illustrating a sense of alienation and fear of the unknown. This is where the heart of the song lies. The verses capture this sense of confinement and claustrophobia, futilely searching for an escape that never comes.


The chorus offers some hope. It speaks of "opening up" and "finding out what it means to me". Here, the song's theme is summed up. It's the idea that, by breaking out of our "happy little boxes", we can connect with others and explore the world outside. This sense of liberation is mirrored in the joyful melody and playful rhythms, which imbue the song with energy and excitement.
