Living Happy
Quelle Chris Lyrics

I died the other night
The singer has recently experienced a traumatic or life-changing event

Couldn't find the energy to fight
The singer was overwhelmed and unable to respond actively

The call of the tunnel's light
The singer was drawn towards a brighter future or the unknown

So I just rode that wave
The artist went with the flow and trusted the process

And at the epicenter of this euphoric transfer
The artist reached a climax of intense emotions

A choir of angels awaited me
The singer felt guided or protected by a higher power

A joy like no other swelled on my spirit
The singer felt an overwhelming sense of happiness

As the choir began to sing
The positive experience continued
