Marshmello: Happier Meaning
Song Released: 2018
Happier Lyrics
Lately, I’ve been, I’ve been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
[Verse 1]
When the morning comes
When we see what we’ve become
In the cold light of day we’re a flame in the wind
Brought the fire that we...

I interpreted the song in regards to depression and suicide. The lyrics speak to me in a way that I relate to. It's such a dark song with deep lyrical value to me. I've had many situations where people would say similar things when I have felt suicidal or am at my lowest point. I can't stop listening to it because it really hits home for me.

My interpretation of happier is completely different from the video or most of your interpretations. I’m not sure why I felt this Way about the song but I do feel as if it’s someone who is suicidal and feels that if they left the other person would be happier the people in their lives that they feel they disappoint or aren’t good enough for. I realize the video shows a dog and a little girl but none of the lyrics actually go to the video yes it makes sense for the dog wants her to be happy and then in order for her to MoveOn as a teenager the dog had to go and I get that but basically the same way you would look at it about the dog is how I look at it about a human
-
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
-
To me, it seems like personal growth.It's about your relationship to your life, how we mould ourselves to try to fit in but all that really matters is your acceptance of yourself. Also, the passage of goodness, purity , love (symbolized by the dog) from one to the next (her daughter?) I hope it helps.

I just think that this song is not specifically talking about a relationship of a couple or the relationship between a dog and girl(even if that’s the music video). Instead I think that the aim was to just symbolize a relationship in general between any relationship. With that being said, it means that one doesn’t want the other person or animal to be sad and instead be happy and that they will do what ever they can to make the other happy. And the music video shows that they will do it till they die, as long as the other person in the relationship is happy ❤️

If you look at the video you see the dog seeing the girl is upset. Maybe he thought it was his fault or he was holding her back. He knew he sick and tried pushing through it. He knew if he had past that she will be happy afterwards because she will understand what he has done. He was fighting the illness too say his final goodbye. He knew they had a strong bond and if he had left she will know he is always by her. You can see that on her facial expression when she gets a new pup
-
I think this is about someone who loves someone else dearly, but due to illness or sickness they have to go and this song is about fighting the urge to to not let go. So he/she wants the other person to be happier and in a better place.
-
I think it’s about a relationship about the people’s well being.
-
Wow Just Wow,u guys really put the feeling that the person is really feeling inside them.
-
I think it is about two really good friends (who might have had a past relationship)and now one of them is dealing with feelings for the other. However, the person who doesn't have feelings is going through a time where they need a friend the most. I think the song is going through a person that is choosing their friends happiness over theirs. For example, it says "Even though I might not like this, i think that you'll be happier, I want you to be happier". Meaning the person might want to confess the feelings, but they care too much about the others need for a friend more. "Then only for a minute. I want to change my mind cause this just don't feel right to me. I wanna raise your spirit"
-
This song can be very meaningful. I believe that this is about leaving someone that means a lot to that person. But they know that if they will be happier then they agree that it is best for them. They know that where they are at now is not good for them and want to know that they are happier and better off leaving. This could be interpreted as someone talking about another person or a pet that they love and care about so much.
Sorry if I repeated "they, them, this" too much. I couldn't think of another way I was trying to word it. -
I take this as a relationship between a dog and a human and how hard it is to let go but it is better for them to let the dog get better.
-
This is a very meaningful song....in my opinion it’s like two people who might of had a relationship...and they did not work out and now one of the people are moving on so the other person is saying they should move on too. And give the other person space so they don’t mess up their relationship with the new person.
