Two Kinds Of Happiness
The Strokes攀 Lyrics

The lyrics to "Two Kinds of Happiness" by The Strokes talk about the different forms of happiness that exist in life. According to the lyrics, happiness can be two different things – what you take and what you bring. One form of happiness is pleasure, which is typically immediate and short-lived. The other form of happiness is discipline, which requires effort and dedication, but provides more long-term fulfillment.

The song goes on to explore various other opposites, such as desire and reward, and the idea that the world is made up of cousins rather than brothers, meaning that while things may be connected in some way, they can still be vastly different. The refrain, "Don't waste your heart" speaks to the importance of making the most of life and not squandering one's time or emotions. The final line, "Don't you give in, You're beginning" encourages the listener to persevere and push through any obstacles to achieve their goals.
