Happy Now

Take That

I get the feeling that we are being lied to,
There's a surge in my psychosis every turn of the screw
And I'm half awake in paisley print.
I can see the world clearly but I have to squint.
I am a supersonic specimen.
A minor miracle of medicine
I'm at the mercy of unwanted emotions.
Where nothing matters, beneath my thoughts
Beneath my thoughts is where it happens.
Super heavy elements, embrace me
Super heavy elements, replace me
Was it a positive experiment?
To be indefinitely decadent

And they checked my pulse and it gave them hope
That there was no truth to what was wrote
Give me half as much but twice as fast today
Might slip away

I feel myself falling
I'm feeling happy now,
I feel myself falling
I'm feeling happy now
I feel myself falling
I'm feeling happy now
Feeling happy now

I'm at the back of the club and so afraid to speak
Cos I'm not like these people
And these people are not like me
Super heavy elements, upgrade me
Supersonic elements amaze me
Your opinion is irrelevant
I was built to be magnificent

And they checked my pulse and it gave them hope
That there was no truth to what was wrote
Give me half as much but twice as fast today
Might slip away

I feel myself falling
I'm feeling happy now,
I feel myself falling
I'm feeling happy now
I feel myself falling
I'm feeling happy now
Feeling happy now

I haven't scratched the surface of my desire
In the world of dreams, I'm a frequent flier
Super heavy elements, embrace me
Super heavy elements,

I feel myself falling
I'm feeling happy now,
I feel myself falling
I'm feeling happy now,
I feel myself falling
I'm feeling happy now,
I'm feeling immortal
We'll live forever now
We'll live forever now

    It's about depression...about the highs and lows that come with depression, and then the balance with the medication "super heavy elements" "I feel myself falling"...What's clever is how The melody of the song works like Mania....Dark paranoid lyrics that swing from serious to peppy...It has you going Hmmm interesting.... and then you spazz out through the chorus :D

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
