Trong cuộc sống hiện đại nơi mọi cảm xúc dường như đều phải qua một lớp lọc, hạnh phúc đôi khi trở thành thứ xa xỉ không phải vì ta không có nó mà vì ta không biết liệu cảm xúc đó có thật hay chỉ là điều ta cố tỏ ra. Ca khúc Happier Than Ever của Billie Eilish với những ca từ dữ dội mà trần trụi, đã trở thành tiếng lòng cho hàng triệu người đang vật lộn trong mối quan hệ mâu thuẫn giữa yêu thương và tổn thương. Đây không chỉ là một bản nhạc đó là một trải nghiệm cảm xúc. Và bài viết này sẽ cùng bạn đi sâu vào những tầng nghĩa mà bài hát này mang lại.
Happier than ever lyrics
When I’m away from youthan ever Wish I could explain it better I wish it wasn’t true
I’m happierGive me a day or two
To think of something clever To write myself a letter To tell me what to do, mm-mmDo you read my interviews?
Or do you skip my avenue? (My avenue) When you (when you) said you were passing through Was I even on your way?I knew when I asked you to (when I asked you to)
Be cool about what I was telling you You’d do the opposite of what you said you’d do (what you said you’d do) And I’d end up more afraidDon’t say it isn’t fair
You clearly weren’t aware that you made me miserable So if you really wanna knowWhen I’m away from you (when I’m away from you)
I’m happier than ever (happier than ever) Wish I could explain it better (wish I could explain it better) I wish it wasn’t true (wish it wasn’t true), mm-hmYou call me again, drunk in your Benz
Driving home under the influence You scared me to death, but I’m wasting my breath ‘Cause you only listen to your fucking friendsI don’t relate to you
I don’t relate to you, no ‘Cause I’d never treat me this shitty You made me hate this cityAnd I don’t talk shit about you on the internet
Never told anyone anything bad ‘Cause that shit’s embarrassing, you were my everything And all that you did was make me fucking sad So don’t waste the time I don’t have And don’t try to make me feel badI could talk about every time that you showed up on time
But I’d have an empty line ’cause you never did Never paid any mind to my mother or friends So I shut ’em all out for you ’cause I was a kidYou ruined everything good
Always said you were misunderstood Made all my moments your own Just fucking leave me alone, whoa, yeah
