Cover art for Happy lyrics by Marina and the Diamonds

She believes in divinity. She found what she'd been looking for within herself. Whether you believe in god or not, the statement that someone is looking out for you can be true: that person is you. You are enough. You have what you need inside you. You can be that person who is always looking out for yourself.

That's what Marina discovered and that's why she's happy.

However, on the other hand she admits that she might need some company to be truly happy and she admits that she is still looking for that person, but she believes in possibilities. She's admitting her vulnerability--she's been desperately, desperately alone. There's a power in admitting this stuff out loud.

This is a beautiful, beautiful uplifting song that has seriously touched me and made me feel a similar genuine epiphany. I'm grateful to have heard it basically.
