I confess
Everyone is overweight
And I'm obsessed
Talking is just masturbating
Without the mess
Addiction leaves you sad today and unimpressed
I can't remember all the names

Everyone you meet today
Is just so fucking vain

Bored again by happiness
And all those friends, I've lost in there

I'm upset
Happiness is not a fish
That you can catch
Imagination can't resist
The laziness
That pins you down, get on your knees

Everyone you meet
Is feeling useless and ashamed

Bored again by happiness
And all those friends I've lost in, oh oh oh

Everyone you meet
Is feeling useless and ashamed

Bored again by happiness
And all those friends I've lost in there

But I want to remember
But I want to forget this
But I won't forget for long
But I want to remember
But I want to forget this
But I only forget for long

And lost in this

    "Talking is just masturbating Without the mess"

    lmao, I love that line.

    Anyways, this song, to me, is about the overall stress that society feels today. Life is so complicated and superficial that people don't even have true happiness anymore.

    Everyone is fucking vain. People try to make themselves happy with pride, vanity, and other things that are only fleeting and are rather fake. "Bored by happiness" refers to this; the joys people have today aren't really true happiness, because it's not a thing you can just gain.

    The only true way to be happy is just to be a good person, with people you love. Simplicity is best, stop trying to make life so complicated and stressful. :)
