happy people
Wrabel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m so so restless all the time
Always telling lies
Like yeah okay I'm fine
Sun is always shining
If there is a party, I′m always invited
I'm always invited

I've got way way too many friends, who ain′t really my friends
And I′m tryna fit in, but I can't keep up with them
I′m back in bed again on a Friday
On a Friday night

So I hide away, hide away from it all
Hide away, 'cause I′m safe behind these walls
Hide away, hide away
Yeah, I hide away, hide away

I wish, I wish I was
One of those happy people
One of those easy breezy, f-cking people
I wish, I wish I was
One of those happy people
Smiling every time they see you

I don't don′t even know what's wrong
The grass is always greener
The rain looks cleaner on somebody else's beamer
Don′t wanna go outside
Just wanna stay inside
Of my pretty apartment

I like to hide away, hide away from it all
Hide away, ′cause I'm safe behind these walls
Hide away, hide away
Yeah, I hide away, hide away

I wish, I wish I was
One of those happy people
One of those easy breezy, f-cking people
I wish, I wish I was
One of those happy people
Smiling every time they see you

But I′m crying now on the bedroom floor
I got everything, why do I want more?
Why do I want more?
Why do I want more?
Oh no, no, no, no

I wish, I wish I was
One of those happy people
One of those easy breezy, mother f-cking people
I wish, I wish I was
One of those happy people
Smiling every time they see you

But I'm crying now on the bedroom floor




I got everything, why do I want more?
Why do I want more?

Overall Meaning

The song "happy people" by Wrabel is about the universal struggle to fit in and the constant search for happiness. The lyrics express the feeling of restlessness and the frustration of always having to put up a facade for others, saying that everything is fine. The singer admits to lying and pretending to be happy even when he is not. He has too many friends whom he cannot keep up with and often finds himself alone, hiding away behind walls.


The chorus is about the singer's longing to be like those people who always seem happy. He wishes he could be one of the easy-breezy "f-cking people" who smile every time they see you. The second verse talks about the feeling of not knowing what's wrong. The singer thinks the grass is always greener on the other side and struggles with wanting to stay inside his pretty apartment rather than facing the outside world.


The bridge expresses the darker side of the singer's emotions, where he is crying on the bedroom floor despite having everything he could want. The song highlights the fact that everyone, despite appearances, has struggles and that we are all searching for happiness in our own way.
