happiness
Whistler Lyrics

You rest your heart, you rest your head.
You find solace and comfort in a familiar place, and you let your guard down.

You have the softest bed
You have created a safe and comfortable space for yourself.

You need it's familiarity
You seek comfort and security in what you know well.

It's very nice. You like the warmth.
You appreciate and enjoy the comfort your bed provides, physically and emotionally.

You've been in other beds before,
You have experienced different levels of comfort and safety in your life.

But disregard their similarity
However, you don't compare them to your current safe space because they don't matter anymore.

You may be bored
You acknowledge that staying in one comfort zone for too long could lead to a sense of monotony.

The only flaw
However, you can't find any major problems with your safe and comfortable life.

As far as you can see
At this point in your life, you are content with what you have.

And when that calm descends,
During those peaceful moments,

It's almost as good as happiness
You experience something close to happiness, as the calm you feel is comforting and contenting.

You drift away, well no one said
You zone out, without any particular direction or thought.

That you should look ahead
You don't feel the need to anticipate what could come next, instead you live in the moment.

You're not supposed to lie there all day long
You're aware that you shouldn't be idle for long periods of time.

It's a love that you maintain
You put effort into maintaining this comfortable and safe space.

There's none of it in vain
All the effort you put into maintaining it has not gone to waste, as you find it necessary for your sanity.

These easy sacrifices are not wrong
You acknowledge that it takes a bit of sacrifice to maintain your safe space, but it's necessary nonetheless.

Though they're ignored,
Even if others don't see the benefit in your safe space,

You're forgotten
You stay hidden away in your comfort zone.

But you're not gone
You still exist as yourself, despite your temporary absence in the world.

Then one day when she has gone
At some point in the future, when you're alone and without anyone around,

And you can love no one,
When you're not capable of loving anyone else,

It may be even easier that way.
It could become easier to stay hidden away in your comforts.

To lie alone and watch the sky
You might find peace in simply watching the world go by.

Or watch the world go by
Observing the world from afar may bring you the same kind of relief.

To pass the time that passes anyway.
Finding contentment in the little things helps to pass time, which always keeps moving forward.

Almost as good as happiness
While you're not quite in a state of pure happiness, you find comfort and fulfillment in what you have created for yourself.
