happy together
Pickle Darling feat. Skirts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But i still get nervous metaphysically
And i move from person to object
I am person and object
We play dress up like mike and eleven
In the upside down we are happy together
And now you know we can't get out
He's so much more financially stable than i can be
But i can't explain what you mean to me
And you know i care for you
And you know i care for you
In the next life i will work til i'm sore
And i'll talk to the boy who comes into my store
And i won't lose my train of thought
He makes me lose my train of thought
Never thought it'd be like this
Watching him wash his engine clean
Under the rubble
He hid his trouble
On tuesday my phone rang twice
I didn't call back, not sure why
I'll always love him
Can't always call him
The lyrics to Pickle Darling feat. Skirts' song Happy Together are an introspective exploration of the uncertainties and complexities of relationships. The singer reflects on how despite having good friends who are kind to them, they still experience metaphysical nervousness that causes them to move from person to object. The line "I am person and object" suggests a dissociation or a disconnection from their sense of self. The lyrics then switch to a reference to the characters Mike and Eleven from the TV show Stranger Things, implying that the singer feels more in control in imaginary worlds where things make more sense. They imagine themselves happy together in the upside-down, a parallel universe where they can't escape but where they find comfort.
The theme of instability and uncertainty continues with the mention of the singer's financial struggles compared to their partner's stability. Even though they can't explain what their partner means to them, they know they care for them. The lyrics then shift to a reference to the idea of reincarnation, where the singer imagines coming back in another life where they would work hard and not lose their train of thought with the boy who comes into their store. However, the boy makes them lose their train of thought, once again hinting at their disconnection from reality. The final lines are a reflection on the complexities of love and relationships, where they acknowledge the love they have for someone but understand that they can't always call them.
Overall, the lyrics of Happy Together delve into the complexities of relationships and the singer's internal struggles with anxiety and disconnection.

My good friends are kind to me
I have supportive friends in my life who treat me well
But i still get nervous metaphysically
Despite my good friends, I still experience anxiety on a deeper level
And i move from person to object
I find myself shifting from being a person with thoughts and feelings to an object in my environment
I am person and object
My identity is not fixed, and I exist somewhere between being a person and an object
We play dress up like mike and eleven
In our imagination, we role-play as characters from a TV show
In the upside down we are happy together
In our fantasy world, we find joy in being together, even if it's not reality
And now you know we can't get out
Our imagination is comforting, but we know it's not sustainable as a permanent escape from reality
But you know we can't get out
We are aware that our fantasy world cannot last forever
He's so much more financially stable than i can be
My partner is better off financially than I am
But i can't explain what you mean to me
Even though I struggle to articulate it, my partner means a lot to me
And you know i care for you
I want my partner to know that I love and care for them
And you know i care for you
I want my partner to know that I love and care for them
In the next life i will work til i'm sore
In my next life, I want to work hard and put in effort
And i'll talk to the boy who comes into my store
I hope to connect with new people, such as customers who visit my store
And i won't lose my train of thought
I want to stay focused and not get sidetracked in my future endeavors
He makes me lose my train of thought
My partner tends to distract me and get me off track from my goals and plans
Never thought it'd be like this
Things didn't turn out how I expected them to
Watching him wash his engine clean
I am observing my partner doing a mundane task
Under the rubble
Amidst the chaos and destruction in our environment
He hid his trouble
My partner conceals his struggles and pain
On tuesday my phone rang twice
I received two calls on a specific day of the week
I didn't call back, not sure why
I didn't return the calls and I'm uncertain about my reasons for doing so
I'll always love him
Despite any challenges, I will always love my partner
Can't always call him
Communication with my partner may not always be feasible or productive
