Are You Happy?
Oscar Lang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is there someone you wanna be?
Is there something
Something that I'm failing to see?
But I know the back door into your head
See hidden meanings in things that you've said
So I thought I'd ask if everything's fine
I always knew you to be laughing at yourself
You're way too good at tryna hide the way you felt
I figured out that you were crying out for help
Are you happy?
You used to smile at the sun
Now it's faded
And all your light has been gone
There's some hesitation behind your eyes
Your reservations at living your life
Don't try and tell me that everything's fine
I always knew you to be better on your own
And now I see that you hated being alone
You said you'd tell me if you need me but you don't
I hope you know that you don't have to pretend
'Cause I'll be there again and again
I hope you know that you don't have to pretend
'Cause I'll be there again and again
Wish I could make you see the better days
Wish I could show you how it's just a phase
Wish I could make you feel a little blown away
Wish I could make you see the better days
In this song, Oscar Lang is checking in with someone who appears to be struggling. He asks them a series of questions, including whether they are happy and if there is someone they want to be. He seems to sense that there are hidden meanings in their words and actions, and is trying to get them to open up about what they are feeling.
The lyrics suggest that the person he is addressing used to be happy and carefree, but has recently become more reserved and hesitant. They may be trying to put up a front and pretend that everything is okay, but Lang sees through this and wants to help them. He urges them to be honest about their feelings and reminds them that they do not have to go through this alone.
Overall, the song is a touching portrayal of the importance of checking in with the people in our lives and being there for them when they need us.
