Happy Song

I love this song so much! Bit off topic, but has anyone heard of the band FROM INSIDE?? Well I read on Twitter that Oli Sykes and Jordan Fish have written all the music for them cos they are good friends in the UK. Check out their music video for their single BE YOURSELF - FROM INSIDE by searching on Youtube, it sounds very BMTH but still its ridiculous good obviously. Mad that they are doing this too for friends bands now, really love them :D

It could be about the healing power of music. It probs has a deeper meaning than that but I really dont know. Can someone tell me what its about? Its a really awesome song! BMTH rulz!

I like your interpretation. I have to think of people who want to cheer you up while you're being depressed. They don't really get how it's like and say things like: 'you just have get out more' and 'meet your friends' and 'listen to happy songs'. He sings about accepting the help but they don't really know how they can help him.

I think yhis song is obviously a sarcsstic view about the "that's the spirit" expressions, meaning that people who don't have depression and therefore don't understand it think it's easy to just "get out of it", so they say things like "that's the spirit!", "cheer up, dude" or in this case, "just simg along to a happy song". I remember seeing in an interview with Oli and the band saying that was the whole concept of the album, which I think is explicit in this song particularly. Also, the use of a "happy song" in general may be referring to Pharrel Williams "Happy", because people sing along to that happy song and pretend it's all ok, that the world has coalesced into one giant mess of hate and unrest.

I think it's about getting through hard times, and getting something good out of them. I wish I could put it more poignantly, but that's what I think. There's an interview on YouTube with Oli Sykes talking about the album, and he sort of hinted at this. Love this song.

I think this song is telling us that everybody has felt depressed and sad in some moment of their lives. We all go through them no matter how serious they are. But we (or at least I'm guilty of it) brush them off because we convince ourselves that there are people with worse problems than ours. We keep it inside, push all those "negative" emotions down, hold in the anger, dream to forget the nightmare... These little moments of sadness keep piling up until they burst on the most unexpected of moments or they make us bitter, make wrong decisions, etc. Aaaaand that's why "The world has coalesced into one giant mess of hate and unrest." because we decide to "...sing along a little fucking louder to a happy song." Of course, this is just my interpretation and it's probably lacking a lot of details... But yeah...

This song is all about picking your chin up and making the best of a bad situation, which is actually the theme of the whole album (hence the title). The lyrics are telling the audience to understand that, even though things could be better, everything will work out in the end.
