[Refrain: Khruangbin]
Happy survival
Happy survival

Happy survival
[Outro: Legend Glover, Childish Gambino]
We don't care about the party
We just want to dance
Okay, stop right there
Unfortunately, that's a hit
You don't even know what I'm saying
[Refrain: Khruangbin]
The repetitive nature of the refrain "Happy survival" creates a hypnotic effect, emphasizing the idea of enduring through life's challenges while maintaining a facade of happiness. This repetition underscores the theme of trying to stay positive or content despite underlying struggles, hinting at the superficial nature of such expressions.
[Outro: Legend Glover, Childish Gambino]
The outro contrasts the earlier refrain by addressing the disconnect between public perception and personal experience. The lines "We don't care about the party / We just want to dance" suggest a rejection of superficial social norms in favor of genuine enjoyment. The final lines, "Okay, stop right there / Unfortunately, that's a hit / You don't even know what I'm saying," imply a critique of the music industry and societal expectations, highlighting a disconnection between true artistic expression and commercial success. This section reflects on the artificial nature of public approval and the often shallow engagement with art and life.
