Why Are You So Happy
Yendri Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why are you so happy Is life so good to you
I can't understand how this can be true
Don't you feel the pain
Does it never rain for you
Don't you have any doubts
Don't you question it all
Where is all the joy from Do you steal it anywhere
Why do you love and why do you care
Don't you feel the pain...




Don't you ever think of suicide
Leaving the world going into the light

Overall Meaning

In Yendri's song "Why Are You So Happy," the singer expresses their confusion and disbelief towards someone who appears to be extremely happy and content with life. The singer questions how this person could possibly be so happy, never feeling any pain or doubt, and if they've ever considered ending their life. The song explores the idea that happiness may be subjective and not everyone experiences life in the same way.


The first stanza brings up the contrast between the singer's emotional state and that of the person they're addressing. The unanswered question "Is life so good to you" implies that the singer cannot comprehend how someone could be so happy. They ask whether this person ever feels pain or doubts, suggesting that these are natural and inevitable feelings that everyone experiences at some point. The singer seems to imply that happiness is temporary and that it's impossible to always feel good.


In the second stanza, the singer wonders where this person's joy comes from, suggesting that maybe they're stealing it from others. They then question why this person loves and cares so much, perhaps implying that the singer doesn't understand why anyone would put themselves through pain just to feel love. The final line - "Don't you ever think of suicide / Leaving the world going into the light" - is particularly poignant. It suggests that the singer may be feeling particularly low and wonders if the other person has ever felt so bad that they've considered suicide.


Overall, the song touches on themes of mental health, happiness, and the human experience. It begs the question: what does it mean to be truly happy?
