Happy New Year
Titi Woo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I know that
Sometimes in parts
And sometimes just bruised a bit
Maybe regret
You could've avoided this hit
Sometimes you're blank
And sometimes just full of it
On this fictional playing ground
And those holidays changing
So fast
Happy New Year
Happy New Year
And all the things
That You're supposed to say
Please don't go
Please don't change
Why can't you just wait
Just can't you stay
Can't you stay
And this lonely
Schizophrenic in the mirror
Staring at me
In the mirror
Keep staring at me
And trough all the times you
Thought you can get it
And do you still remember
We were jumping on the sky
You're there
And I know that
You're ok
If you're smiling
Sometimes you're right
And sometimes just mumbling
Maybe you're rising
Or maybe just falling down
And this colorful playground slide
And this spider That's saying goodbye
I think its forever
Happy New Year
Happy New Year
Why can't you just wait
Just can't you stay
Can't you stay
And this lonely
Schizophrenic in the mirror
Staring at me
In the mirror
Keep staring at me
And trough all the times you
Thought you can get it
And do you still remember
We were jumping on the sky
You kept complaining
'Cause there weren't any stars
On the horizon
Small enough to keep
Dling dlong, dling dlong, dling dlong
Keep moving on
The lyrics of Titi Woo's song "Happy New Year" seem to delve into the theme of reflection, introspection, and the passage of time. The opening lines suggest that the singer is aware of someone's presence, possibly referring to a relationship or a connection with someone. The imagery of being "sometimes in parts" and "sometimes just bruised a bit" conveys the idea that this connection or relationship has its ups and downs, sometimes causing pain and regret.
The singer acknowledges the possibility of avoiding certain negative experiences by avoiding a "hit." This could imply that the individual they are addressing has made choices that led to negative consequences. The mention of being "blank" and "full of it" suggests that this person may sometimes be detached or disengaged, while at other times being overly expressive or full of emotions.
The lyrics introduce the metaphor of a "colorful playground slide" in a fictional playing ground. This may symbolize the ups and downs of life and the constant changing of situations, particularly during holidays, which are associated with transitions and new beginnings. The repetition of "Happy New Year" emphasizes the theme of time passing and the desire for new beginnings and positive experiences.
The plea to not go or change and the questions of why they can't wait or stay reflect a longing for stability and a reluctance to see the person they are addressing leave or change. The reference to a "lonely schizophrenic in the mirror" suggests a sense of internal struggle or confusion within the singer. This could represent their own internal battles or possibly the perception of the other person they are addressing.
The mention of "jumping on the sky" and the complaint about not finding small enough stars on the horizon creates a vivid image of seeking something unattainable or yearning for the extraordinary. This could signify a desire for grand experiences or a dissatisfaction with the mundane aspects of life. The sound effect of "dling dlong" further emphasizes the idea of moving forward and continuing on despite challenges.
Overall, the lyrics of "Happy New Year" explore themes of relationships, self-reflection, the passage of time, and the desire for positive change. It encapsulates the complexity of human emotions and experiences, inviting the listener to contemplate their own journey and aspirations.

And throughout all the times you
During all the instances in which you

Believed you could comprehend or achieve it
And do you still remember
And do you recall it even now
We were jumping on the sky
We were joyously leaping in the air
You kept complaining
You continued voicing dissatisfaction
'Cause there weren't any stars
Due to the absence of stars
On the horizon
At the distant view or prospect
Small enough to keep
Not of sufficient size to retain
Dling dlong, dling dlong, dling dlong
Repetitive onomatopoeic sounds denoting progression
Keep moving on
Continue to advance or progress
