Happy
Marina and the daimonds 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
The lyrics to Marina and the Diamonds's song Happy reflect the journey and discovery of personal happiness. The song begins with Marina's admission that she was unable to relax and allow happiness into her life.

Marina's lyrics convey the idea that finding happiness is often linked to self-discovery, which is echoed in the chorus, where she sings about finding what she had been looking for in herself, leading to a life worth living for someone else. Marina further acknowledges that although she doesn't go out much at all, having a company may be the key to happiness. Finally, she states that she has found a way to be happy, believing in the possibility of something greater and feeling like she's being watched over.

Couldn't relax, couldn't sit back
I couldn't calm down and enjoy life
And let the sunlight in my lap
I couldn't find happiness in the simple things
I sang a hymn to bring me peace
I tried to find solace in music
And then it came, a melody
And then I found a tune that resonated with me
It felt so sweet, it felt so strong
The melody felt powerful and soothing
It made me feel like I belonged
It made me feel like I was a part of something larger
And all the sadness inside me
And all the pain and hurt I felt
Melted away like I was free
Disappeared and I felt liberated and content
I found what I'd been looking for in myself
I finally found happiness within myself
Found a life worth living for someone else
I realized I had something to live for outside of myself
Never thought that I could be, I could be
I never believed that I could be happy
Happy, happy
Truly happy
Don't go out much at all
I'm not very social
I've never been the type to call
I'm not the type to seek help or support
I realize to be happy
I understand that to be happy
Maybe I need a little company
Maybe I need a little companionship
So now you know, you know it all
So now you have the whole story
That I've been des-desperately alone
That I've been extremely lonely
I haven't found the one for me
I haven't found a romantic partner
But I believe in divinity
But I believe in something larger than myself
I believe in possibility
I believe that anything is possible
I believe someone's watching over me
I believe that someone is looking out for me
And finally I have found a way to be
And I have finally found a way
From the concrete to the coast
From the city to the ocean
I was looking for a Holy Ghost
I was searching for something to believe in
Like the land joining the sea
Like the meeting point of two great things
Happiness, it followed me
And happiness came my way
Happy, happy, happy
Truly and completely happy

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 haven't found the one for me,
But I believe in divinity,
I've found what ive been looking for in myself,

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 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
