Happy People
Soso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About my life
Looks like I was a happy child
After all, it was always summertime in the movie
Yeah and I was always smiling
Yeah my daddy-dad was fine
And mama-ma was alright
Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt
Nothing hurt me
Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt
Nothing hurt me
That time
That time
That time
I was one of the happy people
Tonight, I've been watching a movie
This shoulda been my life
Someone come fix the broken child
Yeah, here it's always wintertime
And I'm never ever smiling
And my daddy-dad isn't fine
Yeah, no, my mama-ma's not alright
Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt
Nothing hurt me
Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt
Nothing hurt me
That time
That time
That time
I was one of the happy people
That time
That time
That time
Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt
Nothing hurt me
Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt
Nothing hurt me
That time
That time
That time
I was one of the happy people
The song "Happy People" by Soso is a reflection on the way we portray our lives through movies and social media. In the first verse, the singer describes watching a movie about their own life and realizing how happy they seemed as a child, despite any struggles or difficulties they may have faced. The constant imagery of summertime in the movie reflects the joyful, carefree moments of childhood. However, in the second verse, the singer contrasts this with their current reality, where they are broken and unhappy, and it's always wintertime. The singer asks someone to fix the broken child, calling back to the idea of the happy child from the first verse.
The repeated line, "Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt," is a reference to Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Slaughterhouse-Five" and its famous anti-war message. The line also ties into the theme of the song, where the singer is reflecting on the way their memories are constructed through movies and how they often leave out the difficult aspects of life. The repetition of "that time" at the end of each verse emphasizes the singer's longing for those happy moments of the past.
Overall, "Happy People" is a poignant commentary on the way we construct our identities and memories through media and the need to acknowledge the difficult moments in our lives.
