Happy
Marina the Diamonds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And let the sunlight in my lap
I sang a hymn to bring me peace
And then it came, a melody
It felt so sweet, it felt so strong
It made me feel like I belonged
And all the sadness inside me
I found what I'd been looking for in myself
Found a life worth living for someone else
Never thought that I could be, I could be
Happy, happy
Don't go out much at all
I've never been the type to call
I realize to be happy
Maybe I need a little company
So now you know, you know it all
That I've been des-desperately alone
I haven't found the one for me
But I believe in divinity
I found what I'd been looking for in myself
Found a life worth living for someone else
Never thought that I could be, I could be
Happy, happy
I believe in possibility
I believe someone's watching over me
And finally I have found a way to be
Happy, happy
From the concrete to the coast
I was looking for a Holy Ghost
Like the land joining the sea
Happiness, it followed me
I believe in possibility
I believe someone's watching over me
And finally I have found a way to be
Happy, happy, happy

Couldn't relax, couldn't sit back
I was restless and unable to unwind
And let the sunlight in my lap
I needed to find a source of happiness and enlightenment from the inside out
I sang a hymn to bring me peace
I turned to music as a way to heal my troubled heart
And then it came, a melody
I discovered a song that spoke to me on a deep level
It felt so sweet, it felt so strong
The music brought me a sense of joy and purpose
It made me feel like I belonged
I felt a deep connection to the music and the meaning behind it
And all the sadness inside me
I had been carrying a heavy burden of sadness for too long
Melted away like I was free
The music helped me release that sadness and feel free from its weight
I found what I'd been looking for in myself
I discovered that the happiness I was seeking was already inside me all along
Found a life worth living for someone else
I realized that by being happy, I could positively impact those around me
Never thought that I could be, I could be
I had previously believed that happiness was unattainable for me
Happy, happy
But now I am truly happy
Don't go out much at all
I tend to keep to myself and not socialize much
I've never been the type to call
I am not usually the one to reach out and connect with others
I realize to be happy
I have come to understand that social connection is an important factor in my happiness
Maybe I need a little company
Perhaps spending time with others will help me feel happier
So now you know, you know it all
I am sharing my personal journey with you
That I've been des-desperately alone
I have felt incredibly lonely at times
I haven't found the one for me
I have not yet found my perfect romantic partner
But I believe in divinity
I have faith that everything will work out as it should, according to a higher power
I believe in possibility
I am open to the idea that anything is possible
I believe someone's watching over me
I feel that I am not alone and that someone is looking out for me
And finally I have found a way to be
After much searching, I have found my path to happiness
From the concrete to the coast
I have searched far and wide for happiness
I was looking for a Holy Ghost
I was seeking spiritual guidance and inspiration
Like the land joining the sea
I have found a connection to something greater than myself, like the union of land and sea
Happiness, it followed me
I have found that happiness has been with me all along, even through my struggles

Couldn't relax, couldn't sit back,
and let the sun light in my lap,
I sang a hymn to bring me peace,
and then it came, a melody,
It felt so sweet, it felt so strong,
It made me feel like I belonged,
and all the sadness inside me melted away like I was free,
I've found what I've been looking for in myself,
Found a life worth living for someone else,
Never thought that I could be, I could be happy, happy,
Don't go out much at all,
I've never been the type to call,
I realize to be happy maybe I need a little company,
So now you know, you know it all,
That I've been des-desperately alone,

i played this today as i set fire to an old su*cide note i'd written. I watched the fire eat away at the paper and i knew for a fact that all the sadness inside me HAD melted away. :) I used to listen to this in tears, yearning for a day when I could be happy, yet struggling to believe it would come. But it did. I'm so happy, so fully content and grateful for everything in my life. It's been a journey - one of therapy, medication, spirituality and reconnecting with people, but I made it. if you're struggling right now, i need you to know that you'll make it too. You absolutely can be happy, as hard as it may be to believe right now. hang in there, loves. you're doing great <3

i’m so happy for you!! <33
@alexis_daydream333
I'm never gonna have that day. Everytime I feel better something bad happens or I just mess it up for myself and cause myself to be sad. I've tried 3 different meds and I hated them and I hate therapy.
@jiyanarula3047
@@alexis_daydream333 everyone responds differently to different forms of treatment! i’ve had to switch therapists several times for numerous reasons, and still have days where i feel like medication isn’t doing anything for me. as much as it sucks, there really is no once and for all cure. :( some days are harder than others, and i still feel like crap sometimes but what changed is i now know i am capable of happiness. life is a whole rollercoaster (cliché, i know,,,) but it’s worth it. i just tell myself that being human is feeling both ends of the emotional spectrum :’) happiness isn’t a forever cure, but i promise you can still be content. best of luck in your journey bby i believe in you <3
