Lyrical Analysis of...
What Happens
- Verse 1:
- A mellow touch of sun fell on the sun
- Of a man who no longer had a hand
- In that man’s plan
- He walked along the pavement
- Paving the way to nothing in particular whatsoever
- And as he walked along
- He was singing this song saying
- I don’t give a fuck what happens
- Whatever happens will happen
- I just want to get through the day
- I’ve got nothing else left to say
- And as he walked along
- He bumped into another man
- Not apart of a plan as far as he could see
- But the second could see that there were things
- That he could not perceive
- He could not understand them
- But he could not not believe
- Lot of good it did him
- Cause right then a car hit him
- Couldn’t see it but he knew it was there
- And right then his heart stopped beating
- And he wondered who else knew he was there
- Hook:
- I don’t give a fuck what happens
- Whatever happens will happen
- Happiness or pain
- Either way its all the same
- Just a matter of perception
- Doesn’t matter if its just
- Just the way the world goes
- If it went a different way
- Then I might give a fuck
- But it ain’t gon happen
- Cause causality’s casually just been
- Giving me the finger
- Since I put my finger on the fact
- That whatever really happens
- Really doesn’t matter at all
- Verse 2:
- Looking down at the flesh and bones
- The coroner was concerned
- Because he couldn’t find a reason
- For the deaths that all had reasons
- That never seemed to have reasons
- Hit by a car then your bleeding
- But a bullet not even screaming
- Like life the way it comes and it goes
- And why, he never would know
- He saw his daughter on the weekends
- And she wanted to know
- What was it like to care for corpses
- Were they warm were they cold?
- She liked to play with dolls
- Was it kind of like that?
- Maybe she could do it too
- He shivered when he heard that
- He tried to say that there
- Was nothing fun about it
- Only seven she said
- That she already knew about it
- You live you die
- Happens to everyone right?
- Least you got a chance
- Her dolls, they would never know life
- He tried to respond
- But all that he could hear
- Was singing this song
- (Hook)
- Verse 3:
- That man was hanging by a thread
- When she found him
- Cause he was hanging on by a thread
- With the voices around him
- Surrounding everything that he could hear
- Sanity, nowhere near
- Life and death, intertwined
- Made no sense, life a lie
- He’d rather die
- Why even try when it was trying to life
- And as far as he could tell
- It didn’t mean shit
- And that’s when she found him
- As he breathed his last breath
- And right then she understood the difference
- ‘tween life and death
- why did it happen?
- There must be a fucking reason
- She thought that thought
- As her thoughts fought
- Inside her mind despite a lot
- Of uncertainty
- She knew that she would certainly continue
- To live her life
- For him and for her
- And she was singing
- That everything that happens it must happen for a reason
- Like seasons or demons
- Or leaving life or finding love
- There must be a reason
- A believer she’d become
