Happiness
Pacifist Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now today you wish this wasn't real,
Body ripped from the inside out
Guts and vital organs pouring out,
Now looking for forgiveness
Pain in not conceivable
Just understood!

Happiness

Happiness

Happiness, a Ghost wandering alone,
But you seem sad, Know that you are missed.

Broken legs and shattered hands, now crawling trying to get away
But today your life will pass
Life passing before your eyes
The past fades into a distant memory
All that you love is eons away

My heart died
Open your eyes and see the beauty within
And now fire consumes you and brings rest
To that Ghost that is our own

Happiness
Everybody loves fun!

Happiness, a Ghost wandering alone,
But you seem sad,
Know that you are missed
Happiness, a Ghost wandering alone,
But you seem sad,
Know that you are missed

Now today you wish this wasn't real,
Body ripped from the inside out
Guts and vital organs pouring out,
Now looking for forgiveness
Pain in not conceivable
Just understood!

Happiness, a Ghost wandering alone,

Broken legs and shattered hands,
Now crawling trying to get away
But today your life will pass
Life passing before your eyes
The past fades into a distant memory
All that you love is eons away

My heart died. Open your eyes and see the beauty within

And now fire consumes you and brings rest
And now fire consumes you and brings rest
And now fire consumes you and brings rest
Fire consumes you and brings rest
Now fire consumes you




Fire consumes you and brings rest
Now fire consumes you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pacifist's song "Happiness" speak of a tragic event where the person is experiencing an excruciating pain of their body being ripped from the inside out. They are seeking forgiveness but the pain is too great to bear. The person is experiencing a life-threatening situation as indicated by the reference to "life passing before your eyes." In contrast, the chorus of the song repeatedly refers to "Happiness, a Ghost wandering alone" which presents a stark contrast to the gruesome imagery described earlier. This represents the idea that happiness is often elusive and fleeting like a ghost.


The tone of the song also suggests that the person's death is imminent. They are trying to get away from their current situation but their broken legs and shattered hands make it impossible. As they face their death, they are able to see the beauty within and find inner peace before their final moments. The chorus again emphasizes the idea that even in death, the person will be missed and that "everybody loves fun."


Overall, "Happiness" projects a powerful message of hopelessness in the face of death while also acknowledging the importance of finding happiness in life. It encourages the listener to appreciate the beauty of life and to find happiness in the present moment.
