This song deals with feelings of melancholy, and the way everyone seems to be happy, except for you.
lyrics
Verse 1
I think of old days, when everything was easy and new
Now I’m falling in strange with you
Bound down by nothing, with wings to fly far far away
But I’ll stay
Chorus 1
I see all the happy people, where they’ve gone, along with my friends
I’ve seen all the happy people, where they’ve gone, and I’m glad
Verse 2
Slapped like a bass string, deeper and deeper I move
Now I’m living where the monsters do
Vicariously living, living is easy through you
But won’t do
Chorus 2 & 3
I see all the happy people, where they’ve gone, where they go
I’ve seen all the happy people, and I’m still, standing here
