Happy Song
John K. Samson Lyrics

Flying, floating, softly spinning swiftly through my dreams
In my dreams, I am carefree and unencumbered, unfettered by the worries and anxieties of the real world.

Attempts are made and understanding what it really means
I am trying to make sense of my life and my place in it, but it is difficult and confusing.

Trying to hold humanity in life got truly mad
I feel overwhelmed by the weight of the world and all its problems, it is driving me crazy.

Extenuating circumstances always make me sad
The difficult situations and challenges I face often leave me feeling melancholy and downtrodden.

And sadness is eternity, I cannot tell you why
The pervasive feeling of sadness and despair that I experience seems to be endless and unexplainable.

Generally speaking all I wanna do is sigh
Most of the time, all I can do is let out a heavy, hopeless sigh and feel defeated by life's difficulties.

Cigarettes and cups of coffee, skies as clean as blue
I try to find solace in small pleasures like tobacco and caffeine, and in the beauty of nature around me.

All of this is anger, this is pain, but just for you
All of these things that bring me joy are still tinged with anger and pain, but I try to hide it from others and only show them the happy parts.

Here is a happy song to burn the days away
Despite my struggles, I want to try to find happiness and forget my problems, even if it's just for a little while.

Happy song, to drown the bad today
This song is a way to escape the negativity and pain of daily life, if only temporarily.

Happy song, it makes you wanna say
Listening to this upbeat tune makes you want to sing along and feel joy, even if just for a moment.

Happy song, I almost feel okay
This happy song helps me forget my problems and for a brief moment, I feel almost okay.

Call myself a coward, I defy all I believe
I feel like a coward for giving up and trying to escape my problems, it goes against my values and beliefs.

I think of things beyond me, things I never could conceive
I sometimes contemplate the mysteries of the universe and existence, things that are beyond my understanding and knowledge.

Love and death and happiness, something in your eyes
These universal themes of love, death, and happiness are on my mind, and when I look into someone's eyes, I see that they too are grappling with these issues.

Is telling me you're understanding all my lies are lies
There is something about the way they look at me that tells me they see right through my attempts to hide my pain and feign happiness.

Expressing all this feeling is important for a while
It's important for me to express my emotions and confront my problems, even if it's only for a little while to avoid feeling completely overwhelmed.

Words are just disguises, there's some meaning in your smile
The words I try to use to express myself and my emotions often fall short, but the meaning of their genuine smile says more than words ever could.

No one seems to notice, I'm the only one to see
Despite my attempts to hide my pain, I feel alone in my struggles and that no one else understands what I am going through.

That all of this is anger, this is pain, but just for me
Even though I try to hide it from others, the truth is that all of my joy and happiness is still tainted by anger and sadness, but it's something that only I can feel and understand.

Well on my way to feeling okay
Despite my struggles and pain, I am starting to feel better and more hopeful about the future.

Okay, okay
Everything is going to be okay.
