Happiness Inside
Matt Martians Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up
Such a lovely day
I feel better
Things will go my way
Pressure
Life can be confusing
I wanna let go of everything that's holding me back
I hope I can find happiness inside

It all seems to get better when I take my time
I hope I can find happiness inside
It all seems to get better when I take my time
Let it out
Wanna know how ya feelin'
You got a new job?
Wanna know how ya dealin' with it
You work hard
It all can be consuming
But whats it all for?
If you're constantly losing yourself?
I hope I can find happiness inside
It all seems to get better when I take my time
I hope I can find happiness inside
It all seems to get better when I take my time
Just take your time
Why don't you slow down? (oh)

Just take your time
Why don't you slow down?

Overall Meaning

In the song "Happiness Inside," Matt Martians sings about the pressures of life and the importance of finding inner happiness. The opening lines, "Wake up, such a lovely day, I feel better, things will go my way," set a positive tone and suggest the singer is beginning a new day with renewed hope. However, life is not always that simple, and the following lines emphasize that sentiment with lines like "Pressure, life can be confusing, I wanna let go of everything that's holding me back." The singer is acknowledging that life can be difficult, and he wants to let go of anything that's dragging him down so he can achieve happiness.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I hope I can find happiness inside" several times, reinforcing the idea that true happiness comes from within. The singer also suggests that taking time for oneself can help navigate difficult times. When he sings "it all seems to get better when I take my time," he's implying that he can find peace and clarity in moments of quiet reflection.

The song's second verse is directed at someone else, someone who has a new job, but the sentiment is the same. The singer is urging the person to slow down and take time for themselves, warning that working too hard can consume them, and they'll lose sight of what's important in life. The final lines of the song repeat the idea of slowing down and taking it easy, which acts as a reminder to everyone listening to the song.
