The Happy Song
Old Gods of Asgard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I told you I'm a psycho
'Cause really I'm a psycho, psycho, psycho.
Violent schizophrenia.
You know I'm gonna get ya.
The lyrics of the song "The Happy Song" by Old Gods of Asgard suggest that the singer of the song is suffering from violent schizophrenia. He is aware of his mental illness and has warned the listener that he is a psycho. He repeats it several times to emphasize the point. The lyrics also suggest that he might harm the listener, as he says, "You know I'm gonna get ya". These lines show the dark and disturbing side of mental illness, and the internal struggle that the person goes through.
The song is an interesting take on mental illness and highlights its impact on people's lives. The use of the word "psycho" is especially significant because it is a term that is often used to stigmatize people with mental illness. The song serves as a commentary on the discrimination and social stigma that people with mental illness face. It also attempts to humanize the disease by showing that the person suffering from it is aware of their mental state and wants to warn others.

American Nightmare missed the opportunity to make Scratch dance in the final act, summoning hordes of dancing Taken before siccing all of them on Wake at once.
