Cover art for Hey lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

I think this song is about a part of his life thats ending, maybe a bad rerlationship with a girl, and a new one is begining and he is having a good time with these new people he meets, but it is bittersweet because he is still bummed about the other chapter in his life ending. I think this song is just saying that when it comes down to it he is happier than before and just doesnt realize it.
