Happy You're Unhappy
[Intro – shimmering clean guitar arpeggios, melodic bass blooms underneath, drums softly pulse in] [Verse 1 – distant vocal delivery, restrained rhythm section, guitars feel hollow and sad] Mental scars adorn me Like medals won with time Drew our boundaries in the sand Then you crossed the line Love bombs fell around me Set fire to your heart Napalm burned, each action earned Drove us to drift apart [Pre-Chorus – guitar flickers like light off glass, voice cold and disconnected] And I'm happy I swear I'm happy [Build – bass thickens, snare begins to climb, tension creeps in] [Chorus 1 – bright jangly guitars crash over a tight groove, vocals aloof but bitter] I'm happy... you're unhappy All's fair in love and war An eye for an eye But who's really keeping score? I smile when you break Not kind, but feels alright I'm happy... you're unhappy Cry yourself to sleep... tonight I'm happy... (You're unhappy)... I'm happy... [Verse 2 – guitar adds dissonant echoes, rhythm pulses with urgency] Kissed me like surrender Shot me in the back Raised a white flag spun from lies Launched your surprise attack Love is full of losses Count the casualties Bled and died on the frontline Like the Beaches of Normandy [Pre-Chorus – snare ghosts underneath, guitars shimmer like regret] And I'm happy I swear I'm happy [Build – slight tempo push, tension rises like static] [Chorus 2 – bass rumbles deeper, guitars ring colder, vocals sharpen] I'm happy... you're unhappy Regret the button's pressed I am become death Destroyer of tenderness Delivered devastation With the power of the sun I'm happy... you're unhappy Neither of us... ever won I'm happy... (You're unhappy)... I'm happy... [Instrumental – guitars cry out, bass walks in mourning, solo echoes in reverb] [Chorus 1 – vocals pulled back, music carries more weight, resignation in tone] I'm happy... you're unhappy All's fair in love and war An eye for an eye But who's really keeping score? I smile when you break Not kind, but feels alright I'm happy... you're unhappy Cry yourself to sleep... tonight [Outro – guitar arpeggios drift, bass hums in space, voice fades like smoke] I'm happy... (You're unhappy)... I'm happy... (You're unhappy)... I'm happy... (You're unhappy)... I'm happy... [End]
