You are on your own
You do as you please
Having so much fun
Gone and lost your reason
After all is said and done
Are you still having fun?
How were you to know when you've gone astray?
That happiness would go like a lost emotion
You have always gone your way
Are you happy today?

Well you know when you've been defeated
You don't care and you thank no one
Feeling low you will always need it
Are you're having fun

You don't know what is it you've done
You don't know that...

This was your mistake with the master plan
With all the drugs you take, you can hardly stand
After all is said and done
Are you still having fun?

Well, you know when you've been defeated
You don't care and you thank no one
Feeling low you will always need it
Are you're having fun...
Are you still having fun?

You don't know what it is you've done
Just to show that you're having fun

You don't know what it is you've done
Just to show that...

I can set you straight if you let me stay
I hope I'm not too late
No you won't regret it
I can show you the way
And make you happy today

Yes, you know when you've been defeated
You don't care and you thank no one
Feeling low you will always need it

Well, you know when you're being cheated
Yes, you know when you've been defeated
Feeling low you will always need it
Now you*re having fun...

And are you still having fun?
Are you still having fun?
Are you still having

    My Interpretation
    To me this is about his sister, and the way the 'party' lifestyle took over and she 'lost her reason'. She was not happy, but (As per the human condition) she sought the happiness that we all remember from our youth. ("happiness would go like a lost emotion") She went looking for it through partying, drug taking and the pursuit of fun (The temporary solution). It did not work, when she came down the unhappiness/depression call it what you will kicked in ("Are you happy today?") However, the only solution to this was to go out again to get that temporary dose of what seemed like happiness (Feeling low you will always need it) However, while she does not see the solution is the cause, and the damage that this is causing (You don't know what is it you've done, Just to show that you're having fun) - Eagle Eye Does.. He wants to help, and wants to show her what actual, genuine happiness if (I can set you straight if you let me stay I hope I'm not too late No you won't regret it I can show you the way And make you happy today)

    I interpret this songs as someone who's screwing their life up with drugs and stuff and they know they've screwed everything up but they won't admit it. I don't know if that's right or now, it's just the way I see it.

    this is such a powerful song. and yeh it is about drugs and the whole party lifestyle. the person in the song thought he would find happiness through constant "fun" but now its screwed up his life. hes miserable at the cost of his "fun"- the song constantly questions and suggests that this trade-off isnt worth it: "are you still having fun?" extremely good song! LOVE IT

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."

The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support. "Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
