Cheer Up
Memes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I bought a ticket to the greatest show
It came to town about a week ago
But in the end, I did not go

They put a hole up in the atmosphere
I must admit it looks OK from here
Don't you think that it's hot this year?
Cheer up, I said, cheer up, before your time is up

I'm only happy when I watch TV
I got a letter about the license fee
I really thought that it was free

I recall you called me decadent
I did not know what this word meant
I think I'll take it as a compliment

Cheer up, I said, cheer up,
Before your time is up
Before my time is up

Donald, cheer up
Hillary, cheer up
Jeremy, cheer up
Boris, cheer up
William, cheer up
Pontius, cheer up
Franz, cheer up
Saint Cheer Up
Terry, cheer up

Why don't you cheer up?
Why don't you cheer up?




Why don't you cheer up?
Cheer up.

Overall Meaning

In the song "Cheer Up" by Memes, the lyrics depict a sense of disillusionment and apathy towards the world. The singer starts by mentioning buying a ticket to the greatest show, representing a metaphorical journey or adventure. However, despite the anticipation, the singer ultimately decides not to go, implying a lack of interest or motivation to actively participate in life's experiences.


The second verse introduces the idea of a hole in the atmosphere, which can be interpreted as a symbol of societal and environmental degradation. The singer acknowledges that even though things may seem fine from their perspective, they question the increasing heat and potential issues faced by the world. This line could be seen as a reflection of the current state of global affairs and climate change.


The chorus, "Cheer up, I said, cheer up, before your time is up," is a call to find happiness or contentment amidst the chaos and challenges of life. It serves as a reminder to embrace positivity and make the most of one's time, urging others to do the same.


The third verse delves into the theme of escapism through watching television. The mention of a letter about the license fee suggests the singer's realization that even entertainment comes at a cost, challenging their perception of it being free. The line about being called "decadent" reflects a judgmental remark made by someone else, potentially criticizing the singer's inclination towards passive enjoyment. However, rather than feeling insulted, they choose to interpret it as a compliment, indicating their preference for a simpler, less demanding lifestyle.


The final repetition of "Why don't you cheer up?" reinforces the underlying message of the song, emphasizing the importance of finding joy and optimism amidst the complexities of life.
