Happy Monday
The Floor Is Made of Lava Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd go home but it's friday
And thursday's a week away
I'll get over it someday
Kinda like my granny's got a toupee
I fall in love every sunday
Cause i forgot to get her number, don't remember her name
She'll make my day on a monday
And i'll be happy that i left when she told me to stay

I go to work in the weekends
It's the only time of the week i don't sleep in

I'd make out but it's pay day
And i haven't had enough to get laid
She'll get over it someday
Cause she said: "does your wife know you're gay!!"
I'll call her up on a sunday
You know, the number in my phone book that doesn't have a name
We'll do and don't until monday
And i'll be happy cause she left when i told her to stay

I go to work in the weekends
It's the only time of the week i don't sleep in

I work hard...





I go to work in the weekends
It's the only time of the week i don't sleep in

Overall Meaning

The Floor Is Made of Lava's song Happy Monday is a sarcastic take on the struggles of daily life and the mundane nature of work. The song is largely about the singer's routine of going to work on weekends, and how that is the only time they don't get to sleep in. The lyrics suggest that the singer is stuck in a rut, with Thursday feeling like a week away and every Sunday being a day when the singer falls in love only to forget the person's name and number. While the singer appears to be chasing after love and happiness, it is clear that they don't quite know what they're looking for.


The song also alludes to the idea of infidelity, with the singer noting that they haven't had enough to get laid on pay day, but that they'll call up someone they know on Sunday to "do and don't until Monday." The reference to the person not having a name in the phone book hints at a casual, meaningless encounter rather than a serious relationship. The singer is unlikely to find happiness or fulfillment in these fleeting moments and it's clear that they are stuck in a cycle they cannot break free from.


Overall, The Floor Is Made of Lava's Happy Monday is a satirical take on the complexities of daily life, and how everything seems to merge into a blur of routine and repetition. The song suggests that happiness and love are elusive concepts that are difficult to obtain in a world where everything feels futile and meaningless.
