I hate happiness

With happiness comes sadness
With sadness comes depression
With depression comes the feeling
That all is lost

Oh yeah, that's because I lost it




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mechanical Moth's song "Introduction" express a deep disdain for happiness. The singer begins by declaring outright, "I hate happiness," and then explains why. They believe that with happiness inevitably comes sadness, depression, and an overwhelming sense of loss. This suggests a belief that the highs of joy are not worth the lows of despair, or perhaps that the constant cycle of emotional fluctuations is too exhausting to bear.


The line "Oh yeah, that's because I lost it" provides some insight into the singer's perspective. It seems they may have experienced a loss, perhaps the kind of loss that comes with a breakup or the death of a loved one. They may feel that the pursuit of happiness only leads to disappointment and pain, and so it's better to reject that pursuit altogether.


Overall, the lyrics present a bleak view of life and emotion, emphasizing the inevitability of suffering and loss. It's a poignant and raw expression of a particular mindset, one that might resonate with listeners who have experienced their share of struggles and setbacks.

Des Mondes Schatten auf mich fällt
Und mir des Weges Anfang zeigt
Der sein Versprechen ewig hält
Und Weisheit mir verschweigt
That never would be
Die Melodie wie Kälte klingt
Die eine andere Sehnsucht singt
Lieder vom Schweigen
Mir eine Zuflucht zeigen
I´m shivering
Die Welt in tiefem Eis gefriert
Wo Wärme keinen Mensch berührt
Nebel aus dem Wald erscheint
Und meine Seele endlich weint
Close this heaven for ever
Wenn Schmerz und Trauer sich vermischen
Letzte Tränen wegzuwischen
Das Einzige was übrigbleibt 
Und mich vom Leben befreit
Sacrifice me
Eiskristalle meine Augen berühren
Zum Vergehen sie verführen
Meine Seele nie erreichen
Sich in mein Herz doch schleichen
Endlessly broken
Der süsse Traum von Ewigkeit
In dunkler Ferne weilt
Zwischen uns da ruht die Zeit
Alles gefriert und nichts mehr eilt
Fade that illusion of unity
Des Lebens Tränen
Zierlich und fein
Sich nach dem Feuer sehnen 
Klar und rein

Des Mondes Schatten auf mich fällt
Und mir des Weges Ende zeigt
Es wird meine letzte Reise sein
Eiskristalle schließen mich ein
